Boasting the finest Georgian interiors in Bath, the Guildhall is a stunning backdrop for wedding parties, large or small. It has two ornate ceremony rooms and a grand Banqueting Room, giving you the freedom to continue your celebrations on-site or take a short stroll to the nearby Roman Baths & Pump Room for your evening reception.
You have a choice of two ceremony rooms: the Council Chamber, with its dramatic dark wood, fixed seating, and marble columns, or the classically beautiful Brunswick Room, which offers plenty of scope for customisation.
The Banqueting Room, the largest room in the Guildhall, is decorated with intricate cornicing, glittering chandeliers, and royal portraits. It is a stately room and with the option to choose all your own suppliers, it is a surprisingly versatile venue for wedding ceremonies or receptions. The Banqueting Room can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner, although this number reduces should you wish to add a stage and space for a dance floor.
Adjoining this grand room is the Aix-en-Provence Room, an inviting smaller space perfectly suited to act as a bar area.
Although there is no accommodation on site, Bath offers various options to suit all styles, from luxurious hotels to charming guesthouses; your guests will find the perfect choice in this celebrated city.
The Guildhall allows flexibility in choosing your catering. The venue has a list of trusted caterers who are familiar with the Guildhall and its kitchen and have been endorsed by previous clients.
Bath offers an enchanting blend of history and modern sophistication, making it a dream wedding location. From the Roman Baths and medieval Abbey to Georgian streets and lush countryside, the city brims with beauty and charm.
Bath is well-connected and easily accessible from various cities. The venue itself, located on the High Street in central Bath, is easily accessible by foot and public transport. City centre car parks are located nearby.
“We had a fantastic wedding at the Guildhall, the staff were all perfect and the facilities and catering were over and above our expectations. The staff really went the extra mile to ensure every detail was catered for and to ensure we had nothing to worry about. Thanks to all concerned for contributing to what was a lovely and memorable day, and our perfect wedding…“
Our wedding ceremony and reception at the Guildhall couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a pleasure engaging with the Guildhall throughout the planning process – who were always clear regarding our requirements and what could be possible. Sara took any stress and worry out of the planning process, and had the perfect blend of professionalism, knowledge and a personal touch. The Guildhall’s grand setting in the very centre of Bath and its impeccably maintained rooms made it an obvious choice for our wedding ceremony and reception. Our local suppliers were able to work seamlessly with the Guildhall and the logistics were a breeze. Every part of our day was handled with precision and clarity, and we never felt any detail was too small. We couldn’t have wished for anything better.
Your event can finish as late as 1am, with a bar closing at 12.30am. This must be arranged in advance, and there is a £175 surcharge from Bath's Historic Venues. Please advise your caterer that, in all cases, the bar must close at least 30 minutes before the end.
You can choose whomever you wish. If you need inspiration, we have a list of suppliers who know our venues and frequently work with us. Details can be found on our website.
Yes. We have two ceremony rooms of varying sizes, which can be followed by a wedding breakfast in our large reception room, the Banqueting Room. The Bath Register Office is conveniently located within the Guildhall and offers small and large ceremony spaces.
Some couples even prefer a midday ceremony, a wedding breakfast in the Banqueting Room and then move to the Roman Baths & Pump Room for their evening party and dessert!
There are some stunning spaces inside the Guildhall for wedding photographs; the Georgian interiors and grand staircases make a magnificent backdrop. A very short stroll away is the beautifully kept Parade Gardens, which overlook the River Avon and Pulteney Bridge. If the weather is fine, these gardens are a lovely choice for wedding photographs. The Guildhall is located in the heart of Bath with access to iconic vistas for photographs.
