Weddings at Poets House

Let our experienced Events Team at Poets House help create your perfect wedding day - Poets House provides a beautiful and romantic setting to celebrate your love story.

We offer both bespoke weddings and carefully designed wedding packages to suit a range of styles.

Whether you are planning an intimate celebration, a non-exclusive wedding, or full exclusive use of the venue, our team will work closely with you to create truly special memories.

Civil Ceremonies & Partnerships

Poets House is fully licensed to host civil ceremonies and partnership celebrations. Our dedicated Wedding Coordinator will guide and support you from your very first enquiry through to the moment you say your vows. With expert knowledge and attention to detail, we ensure every step of your journey is stress-free. We also work with trusted suppliers to help bring your vision to life.

Wedding Reception

Enjoy drinks and canapés with your guests in our charming courtyard garden — the perfect setting for photographs and relaxed celebrations. On cooler or rainy days, our stylish and elegant lounge provides a comfortable and inviting alternative.

Wedding Breakfast

Our Head Chef and talented kitchen team have created delicious menus for your wedding breakfast. Using the finest, locally sourced ingredients, each dish is carefully prepared to make your celebration truly memorable. An excellent selection of wines and toast drinks is also available to complement your meal.

Evening Party

After your wedding breakfast, the celebrations continue with your evening party. Picture your first dance, cutting the cake, and spending the night on the dance floor to the sounds of a DJ or live band. With evening bites, and a laid-back atmosphere, the night is yours to savour.

Accommodation

Poets House offers 21 luxurious bedrooms for you and your guests, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and style. All of our bedrooms feature the stunning William Holland Copper bath, perfect for relaxation after your celebrations. Enjoy breakfast the following morning in our Dining Room, or why not have breakfast in bed, with stunning views of the Cathedral from our Bridal Suite.

For exclusive-use weddings, the entire hotel is yours; including sole use of our courtyard garden, all public rooms and 21 boutique bedrooms.
