SImply 'out of this world'

We can't thank the team at the NSC for truly making our dreams come true, and going beyond what we could have imagined. I had a nervous mum thanks to choosing such a unique venue, but my parents, family and our guests were swept off their feet by how incredible it all was. The team looked after us from the minute we stepped into the venue, and made sure we and all of our guests had a night to remember. The buffet was incredible, the decorations were indescribably fantastic (we couldn't believe how beautiful it looked) and having our ceremony in the stunning planetarium just blew us away. We would thank the team every day for the rest of our lives if we could, as it's a wedding that everyone from young to old said it was the best wedding they've been to, with so much fun to be had. Even families who came from so far, had planned to leave by 8pm, but were still on the dance floor as no one wanted to leave! You deserve all the awards on this planet, and were by our sides from start to finish. I also wanted to send love to all the waiting and events staff for smiling all through the night too, making it feel like you were enjoying yourselves too - it made a difference to us. Thank you, to Jess and all the team.

Truly amazing and unique venue

The team put on an absolutely fantastic wedding for us in September 2017, the ceremony had so many extra touches from the choices of planetarium backdrop, great choices of lighting and music and the amazing space cocktails. We can’t thank the team enough and our friends and family still talk about our unique wedding.

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

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’!!

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

Wedding: August

Fantastic Staff

Dear Jess, I am writing to thank you and all your fantastic staff who made our daughter’s wedding, last Saturday, so wonderful. It was everything that we hoped it would be and we couldn’t have wished for more. Everyone I have spoken to since the weekend has remarked on how much they enjoyed themselves and what a special and unique setting it was for the wedding. Lucy and Richard are both delighted at how well everything went, and they have asked me to pass on their thanks to you for making everything run so smoothly, so that they could relax and enjoy their wedding day. I especially want to thank you Jess, for being our contact and guide throughout the whole process. You are at Star!! With very best wished from Pat and Chris Irving xx
