Weddings
Discover a hidden jewel in the heart of Cowes to celebrate your perfect day!
Venue
This famous pink building on Cowes waterfront provides a venue that is both unique and remarkable. The 18th century building houses Sir Max Aitken's extraordinary personal collection of paintings and yachting memorabilia to make a historic backdrop on your special day.
The balcony offers guests the chance to enjoy the wonderful panorama of the Solent scene, with its yacht racing, passing cruise liners and views across to the Spinnaker Tower. It is also possible to be dropped off or collected from the balcony steps by boat, dependant on the tide!
Event Space
The Museum offers an intimate space for up to 80 people for your ceremony and reception. In addition, the balcony offers guests the chance to relax and mingle while watching the excitement of world class yacht racing, or simply soak up the atmosphere.
Testimonials
"Sandie and Ruth are lovely, lovely people and a real credit to the Museum. They were both so helpful, as well as being incredibly patient while Annabel and myself were taking our time deciding on seating arrangements etc.
All both Annabel and myself have done since the wedding, is sing the praises of the Museum - it was a fantastic day, in an amazing location - The Max Aitken Museum truly is a Jewel in the Isle of Wight Crown, and a place that shouldn't be missed on a visit to the Island."
Annabel and Carl
"We visited here for a dinner on a Saturday evening and what an incredible place - we had the pleasure of dining surrounded by a rare and fascinating collection of nauticalia"
