Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - Page number 26 - May/June 2021 (Issue 86)

HAYLING ISLAND SAILING CLUB 02392 463 768 | www.hisc.co.uk This spectacular coastal venue is a beach lover’s dream. Approached via a causeway entrance, Hayling Island Sailing Club sits on a peninsula of golden sand at the entrance to Chichester Harbour. The clubhouse, dining room, bar and balconies offer breathtaking views over the harbour and South Downs. Along with its very own private sandy beach, the club provides the perfect backdrop for stunning album-worthy photos. Licensed for ceremonies, the versatile venue can cater for everything from a small, intimate affair to a lavish reception and celebration on the beach with drinks on the balcony. With two bars and two dining rooms, you can have a bespoke wedding package created to suit you. The venue can cater for anything up to 180 guests for the wedding breakfast and there’s plenty of room for more in the evening. WE LOVE… the views of picture-perfect sunsets over the water from the balcony. SPINNAKER TOWER, PORTSMOUTH 02392 857 524 | www.spinnakertower.co.uk Right by the water’s edge with breathtaking views out across the Solent, this Portsmouth landmark is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue. An icon for the south coast, the 170-metre high viewing tower offers panoramic harbour outlooks that are hard to beat. Shaped like a spinnaker sail to reflect its maritime location, lit up at night it can be seen from miles around. You can tie the knot on the middle viewing platform, 105 metres above the ground with up to 70 of your family and friends. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out across the water, the simple, neutral décor complements the stunning setting. Celebrate afterwards on the main view deck, which can accommodate up to 100 guests for a sit-down wedding breakfast, with tables set up around the edge of the stunning glass floor. Evening receptions for up to 200 people are held in the ground level Waterfront Cafe and Bar, which boasts a wrap-around outdoor terrace and uninterrupted views across the harbour. WE LOVE… that the tower can be lit up in your wedding colours as an extra personal touch. www.upix photography.com www.chri sgilesphotography.com Image, www.phipete.smugmug.com, Venue dressing, www.atouchofclassevents-uk.com 2 6
