Right by the sea on the Dorset coast, the Marine Theatre is the most beautiful licensed wedding venue in Lyme Regis.
Many people remember the historic theatre as a unique Dorset wedding venue with breath-taking sea views.
Wedding photos here always look amazing.
To arrange a viewing, check availability, or make any enquiry please email office@marinetheatre.com
As well as marriage ceremonies, couples hold their wedding receptions here at our 125 year old theatre. The capacity is up to 220 seated, 124 eating, and 394 standing.
Our balcony bar has views of 95 miles of Jurassic coastline—the Marine is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The seats are not fixed, so the space is very adaptable for different parts of the day.
We can help with the food, drink, music, places to stay, and show you how to get here.
A really brilliant venue – incredible views along the bay and towards the town…the staff were the best thing about the venue – everyone was so helpful from booking right through to the day after the wedding – very accommodating to changes of plan… Highly recommend to anyone!
