weddings

Wedding venues in London don't come any better than the R. S. Hispaniola, a tastefully furnished, fully air-conditioned, permanently-moored ship offering high-quality private event facilities close to the West End.  The Hispaniola's beautiful and elegant interior is equalled only by her spectacular location on London's riverside under the gaze of the London Eye with far-reaching views from St. Paul's round to Big Ben.

Always ideal for parties and receptions, since 2006 we have been licensed to host wedding ceremonies themselves, both religious and civil.

Our kitchens can supply exquisite cuisine for wedding breakfasts and buffet receptions courtesy of celebrated Head Chef Ba Diakhaby. You can choose from our selection of table d'hote, a-la-carte and buffet menus - just click on the menus links below - or we will be happy to discuss any special requirements you may have.

With years of experience hosting parties (hen and stag!), dances, corporate entertainment and hospitality events, Hispaniola's friendly staff will be pleased to put their expertise at your disposal.

Entertainment can be arranged such as: -

 

• Discotheques and bands, with or without dancers
• Entertainers
• Flowers, balloons, ice sculptures and other decorations

If you would like us to help out with organising transport and guest accommodation as well, we will be pleased to discuss your requirements.

So if you are looking for that once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience that will stay with you forever, look no further than the R.S.Hispaniola.
