Sometimes it's the small touches that make a venue feel just right. 🫶

Perfectly placed warm lighting that makes a bar feel extra cosy, heritage fixtures in the bathroom that are never out of place, a chandelier chosen not just for the way it will sparkle, but for how it brings together an entire space, artwork that has been woven into the story of the house itself✨

Looking around our venue you can see that the care we put in to making The Commissioner's House shine will be the exact same care we put in to every detail of your wedding. 🤍

Booked a Bowline package and wondering what happens at your menu tasting?

Our menu tastings are a beautiful evening designed for the two of you to sample some of your favourite choices from our menu. 🤍

🥂On the day you'll be shown to one of our gorgeous private dining rooms.
🥂Alongside the food you'll get the chance to sample some of the wines we have available to be served with the meal.
🥂Meet with the head-chef at the end of the meal to chat through your choices.

The private dining experience lasts about two-hours, so you'll have time to relax, enjoy each others company and experience a little taste of your wedding ahead of the date. 🍷✨

It's no surprise that one of our favourite rooms in The Commissioner's House is our gorgeous dressing room, but The Victory Room, could certainly give it a run for its money. ⚓

Named after HMS VICTORY, rumour has it that it would have been possible to see the ship herself being constructed from this very room.

Rich wood tones, comfortable snug seating and a touch of naval history now make this the perfect space for a Groom and his crew to prepare for the day ahead. 🥃
