Southampton's new wedding venue Old Bond Store unveils offer

The Old Bond Store has opened as an exclusive-use wedding and private event venue in Southampton. The beautifully restored Grade II listed building has been transformed into a flexible setting for intimate and boutique weddings, offering couples the freedom to create a celebration around their personalities, tastes and budget, whether that's artisan street food and cocktails, a formal three-course wedding breakfast, live music and dancing, or a relaxed celebration.

Old Bond Store is an exclusive-use venue and offers couples the flexibility to choose their own caterers, drinks suppliers, entertainment and styling with no compulsory supplier lists or fixed drinks packages. The venue can comfortably accommodate up to 60 guests for a seated wedding breakfast, with capacity for up to 100 guests for evening receptions.

Located in the heart of Southampton, Old Bond Store is just moments from the city's medieval walls, waterfront and city centre. Its location makes it well suited to couples holding their ceremony at Southampton Register Office, a local church or another nearby ceremony venue before continuing their celebrations at Old Bond Store.

Matt Scott, director of events at Old Bond Store, said, "We're seeing more couples looking beyond the traditional wedding venue. They want a celebration that feels personal to them, rather than being tied into a set package or prescribed way of doing things. Old Bond Store gives couples the freedom to build their day around what matters to them. Our role is to provide the setting and flexibility, while they decide how they want to celebrate."

To mark the launch, Old Bond Store has introduced a limited-time Founding Couples Offer. The first 10 couples to confirm their wedding before 30th September 2026, for any remaining available dates in 2026 or 2027, will receive £500 off venue hire.

Beyond weddings, the venue is also available for exclusive private hire throughout the year, including milestone birthdays, anniversary celebrations, engagement parties, baby showers, corporate events, private dining experiences, Christmas parties and other special occasions.

Private viewings are now available by appointment, http://oldbondstore.com
