Most fabulous wedding day!
We got married in October 2018 and had the most fabulous wedding day! We were guided all through the process in a very friendly yet professional manner and worked together to configure everything to our preference. The team on the day were outstanding, the food was fabulous, and everything ran like clockwork. Our guests had so much fun they want us to do it all again next year!

So unique and magical
Having our wedding at The National Space Centre was so unique and magical, not just for us as the bride and groom who love all things space, but also for our family and friends. We loved getting married under the stars and treating our guests to a planetarium showing, rocket launch, space cocktails and a 3 course meal! The venue is perfect for all ages, which your guests can explore throughout your big day. There’s also a lovely area in the grounds for beautiful photos by the river, where the industrial feel of the space centre collides with nature perfectly. The staff will make sure all your little details come to life and that your wedding day is truly ‘out of this world’!!

Everything we wished for and more!
Jess was simply the best wedding co-ordinator. She knew her stuff, was always available to meet and all the little extras we wanted on the day were wonderfully incorporated

Truly unique venue
National Space Centre was a truly unique venue and created the most perfect backdrop for our big day (23.09.17)!! The level of service, professionalism, and friendliness of all the staff at the space centre was second to none and received such high praise from our all guests. All of our guests commented on how brilliant the venue was and the food was delicious -white chocolate torte was to die for!! Venue was great value for money and the added extras were brilliant including the flight simulator, weather pod, planetarium show and simulated rocket launch. Thank you so much for contributing to a perfect day which was out of this world :-)

You will not regret it!
We had our wedding here just over a month ago and still cannot get over how fantastic our day was. From the point of initially getting in touch with Jess to make an enquiry right up to the day everything went fantastically, Jess and the team were amazing ensuring everything was organised before we even really had to ask. On the day the food was fantastic and service from the staff was outstanding. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our day one we will never forget, and to anyone thinking of booking this awesome venue go for it you will not regret it. Thank you Alison and Ben
