Guildhall

The Guildhall stands prominently in the heart of the city near the Abbey, Roman Baths, and Pump Room. An impressive setting for a ceremony and reception, the Georgian interiors and grand staircases make a beautiful backdrop for a wedding party.

Boasting the finest Georgian interiors in Bath, the Guildhall is a stunning backdrop for wedding parties, large or small. 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.

You could then continue your celebrations in The Banqueting Room. As the largest room in the Guildhall, it 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.

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.

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
