Capture the romance and adventure of the great age of sail aboard one of the world’s most famous and beautiful ships. Cutty Sark offers the only place in the world where you can get married beneath the shining hull of a ship. With four decks for your guests to explore, and offering views of the London skyline, this venue is perfect for those looking for something historic but less traditional.
Built in 1869 to carry tea back from China, this monument to the glory days of sail travelled the world and survived the high seas. The ship boasts a spectacular riverside setting with sweeping views across the Thames to the city beyond, providing amazing photography opportunities and a landmark location for your most significant events.
Where better to celebrate the beginning of life’s next great chapter than at Cutty Sark? With access to the ship itself, this venue creates a real sense that you’re setting off on a new journey as you look out over the Thames and the far-reaching views of London beyond. Here, you and your loved ones can celebrate the beginning of your next chapter. Just steps away from a pier, the venue has direct access from the Thames - should you and your guests decide to arrive by riverboat or yacht. All weddings at RMG are completely bespoke, so your wedding will be as unique as the venue itself. We work with specialist luxury suppliers to curate a celebration that is right for you. This historic vessel can host up to 240 for a wedding.
EVENT SPACES
The Ship Decks: The Dry Hold, ‘Tween Deck, and Weather Deck - Your guests can explore the ship on arrival. You may choose to solemnize your wedding on board or host a drinks reception on the main deck overlooking the Thames and enjoy the city views.
The Dry Berth – The main event space, where your guests will dine and dance. There’s plenty of room for a stage and dance floor as well as the dinner setup - all beneath the copper-clad hull of Cutty Sark, suspended dramatically overhead.
