Weddings at the Guildhall

The Guildhall is situated in the heart of the city near the Abbey and Pump Room and Roman Baths.  An impressive setting for a ceremony and reception, the Georgian interiors and grand staircases make a magnificent backdrop for a wedding party.  A short stroll away is the beautifully kept Parade Gardens which overlook the River Avon and Pulteney Bridge.  These gardens are a lovely choice for wedding photographs if the weather is fine.

At the Guildhall couples are free to choose their own caterer, click on the link for further information:  Guildhall wedding catering.
