About

Situated in Southampton’s Old Town, God’s House Tower is a Grade I-listed arts and heritage venue with a history that dates back to 1189. Once an important defensive structure for the townspeople of Southampton, the site has since been reimagined as a cultural hub with a gallery, cafe and rooftop. The venue is fully licensed for weddings, making it the complete package for a uniquely historic and distinctly versatile wedding location.

Standing tall in the heart of Southampton, God’s House Tower has a dramatic, impressive presence boasting panoramic views over the city. The venue's interiors are steeped in history, with ancient wooden beams, Brutalist concrete stairways, exposed stone walls and detailed parquet flooring throughout.

For weddings with a difference, God’s House Tower offers a wide variety of private rooms. Available for hire singularly or in conjunction with one another, spaces include a 55-person gallery and a cafe for up to 15 guests seated. Intimate civil ceremonies and receptions are well-suited to the Crawford Room, which is the oldest corner of the builder and overlooks the ancient town walls. The rooftop, meanwhile, is perfect for drinks receptions, canapes and photographs.

God’s House Tower offers a range of wedding packages to help make planning simple. Depending on the size of your guest list, each package offers a bespoke proposal based on your requirements. The venue also offers complimentary use of AV equipment, portable screens and HD projectors.

When it comes to catering your wedding day, the venue collaborates with a range of high quality suppliers, many of which are based locally. Whether you want some casual canapes or a more formal, sit-down meal, the team here can put you in touch with the perfect caterer to match.

With a rich history, a variety of spaces and a hands-on events team, God’s House Tower ticks all the boxes as a memorable wedding venue.
