What people say about the wedding venue

Stunning place for a wedding! The team were so helpful and were always on hand to answer any questions. It was so beautiful on the day; the light reflecting through the stained glass and great sound created a fabulous atmosphere. It was a beautiful place to perform a ceremony and I will be recommending it to my couples. Thank you!

Susan Delaney

We had our wedding ceremony at the Maritime Museum and it is the most wonderful venue.
A big thank you to Siobhan and Declan who were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is no easy task and they made everything as straightforward as they possibly could.
This is such a stunning and unique venue for a wedding ceremony - the photographs are absolutely stunning particularly with the Baily Optic in the background.

Lisa Byrne

The most wonderful place to have a wedding. Myself and my now hubby got married in the Maritime last friday it couldn't have been any better. Siobhan and Declan were fantastic thanks so much for making the whole process so relaxed and special.
