Wakes

Coming to terms with the loss of a loved one is a difficult time. We will respectfully and sympathetically attend to your funeral reception requirements.

Whether a small intimate gathering for 6 people or a larger reception for over 300 people, you are able to choose from a variety of event rooms at The Royal Yacht. We will ensure the setting is appropriate to your requirements.

Our event team will greet you and your guests upon arrival and direct you to your private suite. Our attentive staff will look after you and serve refreshments and stay on hand for any other requirements you have, or remain nearby for greater privacy. We also provide direct access for disabled and elderly guests.

We cater for various dining options which include;

All meal options can be served in various private dining rooms or for larger parties in our main function room.

We understand that timings and numbers for funeral receptions are difficult to manage, especially if most of your guests are coming to the hotel before the close family. In this instance we promise to welcome them in and ensure they have hot drinks, wine, and food while they wait for your family to arrive from the crematorium or cemetery.

Our experienced team will guide you through the planning stages to discuss menu options, layout and any personal touches that you would like to add. Anything from personalised background music to a memory table.
