Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 84)

Where to wed in this maritime city PORTSMOUTH Spotlight on www.upixphotography.com SPINNAKER TOWER, PO1 3TT 02392 857 524 | www.spinnakertower.co.uk If panoramic harbour views are on your wedding wish list, this local landmark is a sure-fire winner. Right by the water’s edge, with breathtaking views out across the Solent and the city, it’s a one-of-a-kind wedding venue. An icon for the south coast, the 170-metre high viewing tower is shaped like a spinnaker sail to reflect its maritime location. Lit up at night it can be seen from miles around. Ceremonies take place on the middle viewing platform, 105 metres above the ground. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out across Portsmouth, the Solent and beyond; it’s a spectacular setting with room for up to 70 guests. The simple, neutral décor allows the amazing view to be the backdrop to your ’I dos’. Celebrate afterwards on the main view deck, 100 metres above the ground, with tables set up around the edge of the amazing glass floor for up to 100 loved ones for a sit-down wedding breakfast. Evening receptions for up to 200 people are held in the ground level Waterfront Cafe and Bar which has a wrap-around outdoor terrace and uninterrupted views across the harbour. We love... that you can splash out and have the tower lit up in your wedding colours as a special extra. REGIONAL VENUES 19
