Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the
world’s largest ship when first
launched in 1843, is now
beautifully restored and lies in
the heart of Bristol’s
Harbourside. You can make it
the memorable venue for your
wedding ceremony and reception – all the ship’s
wonderful saloons and decks are open for you and your
guests to enjoy. A dedicated wedding coordinator assists
each couple, while the ship’s steward can act as MC,
providing talks or guided tours, and strives to ensure
your every dining request is met.
The Promenade Deck, with honey-toned timber panels,
beautiful mirrors and a glass skylight, is the picture-
perfect location for your ceremony. Enjoy a champagne
reception either there or on the Weather Deck, which
boasts one of the region’s most striking views. The food is
all freshly cooked on board and served in the First-Class
Dining Saloon, where you will be enchanted by the best
in early-Victorian design. And for afters, The Hayward
Saloon has its own bar and dance floor.
