- RRay and Tracy20/01/2020Our Wedding - 23rd March 2019Our Wedding - 23rd March 2019As a former wedding videographer I was always impressed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool as a venue. We were not disappointed in any way at all. The staff, service, food, ambience, DJ were all excellent as was the organisation and visits leading up to the wedding reception. We must comment on the professional and friendly deportment of both Rachel and Jasmine. Top marks for event from inquiry to collecting after the event. The service provided made a vital and appreciated contribution to the success of the day. Thank you for everything. We have no hesitation in recommending the venue and we wish you every success for the future.As a former wedding videographer I was always impressed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool as a venue.

- CClare Duncan08/11/2018Wedding Reception Wedding ReceptionWe had our evening wedding reception in the Baltic Suite at the museum and it was a fantastic space. It fitted in perfect with our rustic theme because of the stone floors and brick walls. Our guests loved it as when they arrived the first thing they saw was the HMS Trincomalee. We had rum punch welcome drinks provided by the venue which looked great for when the guests arrived. We chose to have pie and peas as a meal and it was lovely, people even went for seconds as we paid for more than we needed in case we invited too many people. The team were nothing but professional throughout the whole process and Rachel the Events manager knew exactly what we wanted from start to finish. Because there wasn't anything else on in the room the same day we were able to come in with the wedding suppliers and set up (We got married a different day before hand) Would defiantly recommend them for every part it was perfect!
