Weddings on The Lightship

The Lightship at Haslar Marina is a hidden gem when it comes to wedding venues. Create an occasion that’s one-of-a-kind in a location that’s truly unique. 

Set on the waters of the Solent, it’s the ideal backdrop for a day you’ll remember forever.

A unique location

Located on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour at Haslar Marina, The Lightship is easily accessible by both land and water.

This iconic floating venue is set against the backdrop of Old Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quays' Spinnaker Tower. It's the perfect place for an incredible day.

Tailored to you

Set across two decks, The Lightship offers a versatile space that can be styled to your needs. Whether you prefer the indoors or open air, you'll find a range of ceremony spaces to choose from. 

With a capacity of up to 75 for your ceremony (which can be increased for your reception), hire the mid-deck inside and out, or add the top deck to reserve the entire ship exclusively for your use.

Incredible food & drink

Locally sourced produce prepared with care is at the heart of what we do here at The Lightship. 

Whether you want a formal seated dinner, or a menu designed for relaxed mingling, our team will work to your tastes and budget, curating a menu that feels just right. 

All the extras

We love a good party, and we know what works well in our impressive surroundings. We'll help you plan every detail of your special day, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. 

From entertainment recommendations, advice on flowers and linen, or organising an arrival by boat, we'll be there to ensure your day is magical. 

Great for guests

If you need accomodation for friends and family travelling from afar, we've got boutique hotel rooms ashore at Haslar Marina. Just a short stroll down the pontoons you'll find double, twin and family rooms and a great breakfast spot at The Creek at Haslar Marina
