The Mulberry Suite comfortably accommodates up to 120 for a wedding reception or 60 for a seated dinner.

The suite’s floor to ceiling windows overlook the marina, Portland Harbour and the Jurassic coastline beyond. The first floor balcony is part of the package with the suite, an ideal Summer option is one of BBQ Wedding Receptions which are becoming increasingly popular.

I first came to The Boat That Rocks in 2010 for an event. I was very impressed with the organisation and the site. I got engaged in February 2011, and, having always wanting to get married by the sea, this was the perfect location. From our first planning visit to the end of our wedding day, things couldn't have gone better. All the staff were extremely helpful, the location was wonderful, and the whole day went without a hitch, apart from us getting hitched... Excuse the pun. I have no hesitation about recommending The Boat That Rocks as a wedding venue, whatever your age.

Our ceremony was the first wedding at The Boat That Rocks. The venue and the service was excellent. If you are looking for something different, we would thoroughly recommend The Boat That Rocks. We had such a lovely day and even at my age, it was one of the best days of my life.

From the beginning planning stages months ago to the actual day they could not have been more accommodating with our actual wishes. They made sure our wedding reception was perfect and took away all the stress from us.
