About

The beautifully restored ship lies in the heart of Bristol’s harbourside. Launched in 1843 as the world’s first luxury ocean liner, the ss Great Britain is a truly unique venue for your wedding ceremony, wedding reception and evening party.

We understand that memories last a lifetime and start at the early
planning stages – from the moment you contact the Wedding Coordinator to arrange a viewing. That is why we offer the highest quality of service for this unique and special venue.

Every bride and groom desires a stunning backdrop to their wedding, and the ship’s magnificent and historic stern is guaranteed to impress you and your guests. Illuminated from below her glass ‘sea’, the ship is beautiful and dramatic in all weathers.

On board, the ship offers the Weather Deck with stunning views across the harbour, the long sweep of the Promenade Deck, the sumptuous opulence of the First Class Dining Saloon. All wedding guests are welcome to explore the entire ship.

Brunel’s ss Great Britain works closely with the bridal couple to offer bespoke weddings. Let us help make your dream wedding come true on board one
of the world’s great historic ships.

What really cemented having such a special day with you was how your staff just accepted my wife and I as ‘normal’ as a same sex couple. Even your forms don’t assume male and female, and after crossing out Groom to write Bride more times than I care to remember, you realise the small things really do count on the biggest day of your life so far.

All of our friends and family said to us hands down, it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Room to explore and set up extra entertainment. It really was a perfect day and I wouldn’t change a thing.

We were so pleased to meet Tom and have him in charge of our wedding and he put us at ease for all our worries and concerns about planning in the weeks that proceeded the big day everyone who attended the wedding has commented on how good the staff were during the whole day.

We chose Brunel’s ss Great Britain because we were after a wedding venue that would knock peoples’ socks off. We spent a fair few months looking at all the country homes/barns/hotels that are situated in and around Bristol and we hadn’t come across anything that actually got us excited. Then we came across a website that happened to mention you can get married on the ss Great Britain… so we booked a viewing and had a nice little tour of the ship and our minds were made up! We just thought that the venue was so different (in a good way) that it would be impossible to NOT have an awesome wedding, all the small corridors, the wonderful décor and all of the original trinkets meant that there was no decoration required by us… plus its situated RIGHT on the harbour, which we love.
