Sunset Ceremony, A Thing Like that Photography

Sunset wedding ceremonies at the Roman Baths

The Roman Baths is one of the most unusual and romantic locations in the country for a wedding and truly magical at sunset.

Steeped in thousands of years of history, this beautifully preserved Roman site is a multi-award winning museum by day and in the evening offers the most tranquil location for a wedding.

The steaming waters and the flickering torches of the Great Bath provide an unparalleled setting for a wedding ceremony. At 7:30pm, Sunset ceremonies take place at the water's edge, and are followed by drinks around the Roman ruins. Celebrations then continue upstairs, with dinner on the pretty Terrace, followed by dancing in the magnificent Reception Hall with it's soaring vaulted ceiling. For larger celebrations, you may hire the elegant Pump Room for your reception.
