A lovely venue and the staff couldn't be more helpful.
It's something a bit different as you have the option to get married on a ship.

Thank you so much it was the most amazing day. Absolutely perfect! The team and especially Lisa were absolutely fantastic please pass on our thanks to her, she was amazing.

We really can’t thank you and the dockyard enough, it really was just the most perfect day.

Our experience with the Dockyard, when you consider how difficult this year has been was amazing from beginning to end. When we first visited the Dockyard in November 2018 as a potential venue, we were very impressed. Chloe was just so nice and helpful and I think the thought of getting married on a ship won my husband over. When news of the pandemic hit, we had just posted our day invitations and quickly realised we were probably going to have to send out follow up cancellations. Although Chloe had the awful task of informing us that the Dockyard was closing and so our May wedding couldn’t go ahead, she just continued to be helpful in making alternative suggestions and generally being very accommodating. We actually cancelled altogether, intending to have a very small ceremony at the registry office when weddings were allowed again. This didn’t last long, as when weddings were given the green light to go ahead we knew we were in love with the Dockyard so arranged with Olivia to hold it on the 2nd anniversary of our engagement. The build up to that day was pretty tense, as the Government postponed receptions going ahead so we didn’t actually know until about 5 days before the wedding whether we could have any sort of reception. Once again, Olivia was just fantastic and was happy to organise whatever we wanted with whatever notice we could give. Same as the caterers who were prepared to cancel or deliver with 24 hours notice!!!

The day was the best day ever. Apart from the fact I married the love of my life (and him his), the highlight was seeing our families together for what was going to be the last time in a number of months and getting married on the ship. Our guest list went down from about 80 to well under 30 but it just didn’t matter. From the moment I arrived in the morning, Olivia and her team were on hand, making sure everyone had a great (and safe) time. We were really worried that the several previous days of rain would continue, but the sun came out before the ceremony and stayed out for the duration. We’ll be forever grateful to everyone at the Dockyard for making our wedding day happen, and for making it so special too.

Hi Chloe I just wanted to let you and your staff know how pleased we were with the way the wedding and celebrations went off on Saturday 12th. Everyone really enjoyed it despite the rain- in fact most people only noticed it was raining once they were on their way out! The staff were brilliant, especially Lisa who was always there , ready to go the extra mile to help, both during the day and while we were preparing things and clearing up afterwards. Thank you all once again, Janet and Dave Sampson

It really was the best day of our lives. Everything from our initial meeting with Chloe right up until we went back the day after to collect our things was fantastic. The care, the attention to detail, the support and the welcoming and friendly attitude to all of our family and guests was first class. A special mention must go to Lisa who couldn’t do enough for me or for my family, she’s wonderful and a credit to the venue. Thank you for making our day so special.

To Chloe and all the staff at Commissioner's House, Thank you for all the work and effort in helping us on our special day. A special mention to Lisa who could not do enough for us during the day and evening. Everyone had a lovely time at your wonderful venue! Lots of love, Wendy and John

Thank you so much for making our wedding day such an amazing day. Throughout the whole process you have been kind, patient, supportive and above all so professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We wanted a unique day that allowed us to celebrate and bring together a wide range of friends and family. You listened carefully to our needs, make suggestions and helped us to have a day even more amazing than we could have ever hoped for.
