Do you fancy a wedding reception with a difference, stunning Solent views and a nautical feel? Then The Sugar Store Events Centre at Shepards Wharf Marina in Cowes on the Isle of Wight will provide just the waterside wedding venue of your dreams.


Arrive in style by boat down the River Medina to this truly unique location where nautical meets industrial chic and enjoy The Sugar Store venue’s prime waterfront location with its raised decking area and marina pier overlooking Cowes Harbour and the Solent.


The Sugar Store Events Centre is rapidly becoming the new go-to events venue in central Cowes. Holding a coveted position on the seafront, it’s just the spot for those all-important wedding photos with plenty of great river backgrounds to choose from and room in the main hall for up to 200 seated guests or 400 guests standing and a stage for a band or DJ so you can party the night away.


There is also the option of installing a marquee on the pier to add additional space for your celebrations, offering opportunities for outdoor dining on


top of the water. Outside caterers are allowed, enabling you to organise your preferred buffet or dining arrangements and giving control over your wedding budget. Facilities also include a fully functioning bar and storage areas, food preparation area, a 42” smart TV, fixed broadband and WiFi. There is even a multi-purpose upstairs gallery overlooking the main venue space, just perfect for getting those wedding party views from aloft.
