The commitment we make to each other when we say “I do” is one of time. Time spent together experiencing the good and the challenging, deepening love for each other, in service of building a life together.

Thus, to wed where one could say time starts—Greenwich, England—seems a fitting place for two to begin a lifetime as one. Better yet, to do so one of the most iconic sailing vessels ever built, Cutty Sark, makes one’s wedding about the past, present and future.

Cutty Sark, built in 1869, was one of the fastest tea clippers that ever sailed. The majesty of this vessel lives in the beauty of her construction, and in her history of transporting tea and wool, and training cadets. Her longevity made her one of last clipper ships in service until the 1920s. In the 50s she was dry-docked and turned into museum ship in Greenwich, securing her place in time forever.  

Today, she is host to the most unique events in London, and perhaps the world.

Imagine your wedding where your guests come together to enjoy all the marvels of London. Next, they board a boat for the 30-minute journey to Greenwich, enjoying drinks and the amazing sites along the River Thames. Once aboard Cutty Sark, you and your guests will enjoy a sunset ceremony and drinks reception on deck with sweeping views of the Thames and London. And when it is time for dinner and celebrations, you’ll discover the most impressive of spaces underneath Cutty Sark. In Dry Berth, she is suspended 10-feet above the ground, such to experience her gleaming copper hull overhead. Place your hand on her keel to connect with times and seas she sailed. Every single moment of your big day will be as unique as your relationship.

Cutty Sark, part of the Royal Museums Greenwich, is ideal for an intimate wedding of 100 seated guests, or a grand event for 400 at a standing reception. Moreover, because of the Museum’s list of preferred vendors, all familiar with the potential of Cutty Sark, your wedding will be entirely bespoke, while connecting you to the ship and location’s long and unique history.

A wedding is a singular moment that can define the rest of our time. To mark such an august moment calls for an unforgettable experience. And that, without question, is Cutty Sark.
