Arnos Vale Cemetery is located just a stone’s throw away from Bristol’s city centre. Set amongst 45 acres of lively woodland, Arnos Vale is full of history and a special place to hundreds of thousands in the South West.
Arnos Vale hosts bespoke weddings that are as individual and unique as you. They take a flexible and personal approach, collaborating with you to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The Underwood Centre is a tranquil woodland escape. The large oak beams, tin roof and wooden benches create that rustic feel that perfectly compliments the abundance of surrounding woodland. Imagine being surrounded by nature as you say ‘I do’, with the sound of bird song from the trees above, the smell of toasted marshmallows and a BBQ, and the taste of cider from the Underwood bar.
The Spielman Centre is known for its striking pillars and modern glass design. This Victorian building was designed in 1839 and has retained its grandeur to this day. Inside, you’ll find plenty of space for your ceremony or your evening party. The attached Atrium bar invites the outside in, providing extra space for you and your guests to use for your evening celebrations, with a terrace overseeing the gardens.
The Grade II listed Anglican Chapel is complete with original 19th-century features. Ornate floor tiles guide you into a vast space with elegant, curved windows and marble wall plaques, giving it a classic yet stylish and dramatic atmosphere perfect for a religious ceremony or a grand dining experience.
Our day was incredible. Not only does this venue offer a relaxed environment to get married in – Buffy our wedding coordinator is worth her weight in gold! Played an instrumental part in ensuring the day went as planned and she went above and beyond. Very impressed.
We had an amazing time at Arnos Vale for or Wedding. Buffy, our co-ordinator, was super friendly, promptly replied to all of our queries and did an amazing job with keeping us on track with details needed for the day. Not only the venue is stunning (we used the Underwood Centre for our ceremony) but we had the freedom to do whatever we wanted to the space to make it our own. Our guests loved the relaxed feel and having marshmallows by the fire pit.
I had my wedding at Arnos Vale, and the staff were amazing the whole day, making it super easy for my wife and I to have the best day of our lives; so naturally beautiful and peaceful. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a natural-themed wedding.

We had our wedding at Arnos Vale, and it was spectacular! A beautiful day, setting and such friendly, caring staff. We want to do it all over again!

The process from start to finish was well organised, friendly and professional. The venue is beautiful and the staff are fantastic. We loved that everything was so flexible so that we could create a day that was personal to us. Buffy was amazing and made everything so easy for us during the planning and on the day, we couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you to everyone at Arnos Vale.
Arnos Vale Cemetary was where my wife and I decided to get married in July 2023. The team were fabulous. On the day itself, we decided to book out all 3 venues, the Underwood for the ceremony, the Anglican chapel for food and the Spielman Centre for the reception, which just made the whole day flow quite nicely. The Arnos Vale team set up the underwood so that the chairs were out in the morning, and we came in and decorated it with some vine that we purchased from the groundskeepers. We worked with a “preferred supplier” for the food, which was Epic Caterers, and we had the wine delivered the day before. The day could not have gone more smoothly. I even developed a stomach ache partway through the day, and the team went above and beyond, ferrying me mint teas to settle my stomach, which was lovely.
Communication was amazing, and I don’t think we could have picked a better team to work with to make our day as amazing as it was.

First of all, thank you so much for all your hard work. You were incredible throughout. Super professional but still with the warmth and personality we’ve come to expect from Arnos Vale. You all did an amazing job of making the day run smoothly! All our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and complimented the venue and all of you. We’re only sad we can’t do it all over again!

The spielman centre provided the perfect venue for our wedding. Buffy and the team provided all the support we needed, so that the the planning and the day itself was seamless.
A lot of people can’t see the potential of Arnos Vale as people shy away from the fact it’s a cemetery. However, as soon as we walked through the gates it felt like magic! Our wedding flowed so well using both the Anglican Chapel and Spielman Centre. The catering team (Cleverchefs) are outstanding and Buffy is phenomenal!
Our Underwood Centre is perfect for civil ceremonies of up to 80 guests.
Catering is provided by our five catering partners. Our caterers have been carefully selected by us for their excellent service and quality menus suiting a range of budgets and styles. Choose from rustic or informal dining to a sit-down banquet.
Arnos Vale can provide in-house drinks receptions with choices from locally sourced brewers and distilleries. Select a post-ceremony glass of fizz or a pop-up bar in our Spielman or Underwood Centre. In the evening, enjoy drinks from our fully stocked Atrium bar.
Yes! By choosing us, you'll build a connection that lasts a lifetime, as your wedding directly helps us to protect and care for this special place.
