Facilities
Reputed to have the finest Georgian interior in the city, the Guildhall is a stunning backdrop for wedding celebrations. With its fine rooms and elegant staircases, it is an ideal location for a daytime wedding followed by a reception either in the Guildhall itself or across the churchyard at the Roman Baths and Pump Room.
The Banqueting Room
Ascend the elegant wrought-iron 'Grand Staircase' and you will discover the largest and grandest of all the spaces within the Guildhall, The Banqueting Room. This vast area is fit for royalty, and in fact, your celebrations will be overlooked by King George III and Queen Charlotte (for all the Bridgerton fans out there!). The Banqueting Room is licensed for civil ceremonies or is perfectly suited for a large reception – imagine your guests dining beneath the impressive 18th century chandeliers.
In close proximity to The Banqueting Room, the smaller Aix-en-Provence Room is ideal for drinks receptions or as a bar area.
Civil Ceremony Capacity: 300 (please note, The Banqueting Room is unable to be changed from a civil ceremony into a reception space). Formal Dining Capacity: 200 for a seated dinner, 180 for a buffet, and 160 for dinner and dancing. Available from 8am-12am or 1am with an additional charge.
The Brunswick Room
A clean and classic ceremony room, the Brunswick Room is conveniently situated on the ground floor and ideal for either a ceremony or a drinks reception prior to a wedding breakfast.
Civil Ceremony Capacity: 120
The Council Chamber
Situated on the first floor of the Guildhall, the Council Chamber is a striking room with ornate plaster mouldings, fixed seating and a public gallery. It is the perfect space for a ceremony prior to a reception in the Banqueting Room which is just across the hallway.
Civil Ceremony Capacity: 96
