Description

Situated at the heart of the World Heritage site, the Roman Baths and Pump Room was voted Best Historic Wedding Venue in the 2017 UK Wedding Awards and has won gold for the last two years running for best venue in the Bristol, Bath & Somerset Tourism Awards. It is without doubt one of the most distinctive and unique buildings in the country. Not only is there nothing like it in the world, it also provides a fantastic opportunity to be married in the open air but remain under cover, safe from the unpredictable British weather. What could be more romantic than exchanging your vows next to the torchlit, steaming waters of the Great Bath in one of our Sunrise or Sunset ceremonies? The Great Bath is continuously filled with hot flowing water which rises up bubbling from deep underground, warmed by the heat of the earth’s core. Surrounding this bath is 2000 year old paving, where couples can exchange their vows amid the flickering torchlight and rising steam. Beyond the classical statues on the Terrace above, Bath Abbey will be illuminated whilst guests can gather and enjoy a stunning and atmospheric wedding. The grand Pump Room, built in the 1790s was the focal point of Georgian society and Jane Austen observed people and fashions from within the building. This elegant room is a perfect location to continue celebrations, with a seated wedding breakfast and dancing. There is a choice of rooms, and the venue can cater for intimate groups as well as much larger wedding parties for up to 200 guests.

It was all in a word perfect!

We feel lucky that venues like the Bath Assembly Rooms and the Roman Baths are available to hire for events like this, as did our guests. In fact, we’ve lost count of the number of guests who told us how much they loved the venues, how great it was to use the Bath Assembly Rooms to “assemble” as they were originally designed for, and how atmospheric the Roman Baths were on the night. It was all, in a word, perfect!... It has been a pleasure working with you from beginning to end.

A massive thank you

We just wanted to drop you a message to say a massive THANK YOU for all that you did for us up to and on our wedding day! Your team made everything run so smoothly we couldn’t fault it and we couldn’t have wanted anything more. The day went so well and we have had so many comments on how stunning the venue was and so unique! We loved every bit of it from the intimate gathering by the Baths to the Food and Maisie was brilliant co-ordinating it all for us.

We are a couple from China, we used to be students of Bath University therefore coming back for our wedding means a lot to us. Roman Bath and Pump room is a world famous attraction and also the most inconic place in Bath center, so it was the place we looked at for our wedding venue. The venue speaks to itself and their service is absolutely A class, very friendly very thoughtful and very professional. For us, it is the BEST wedding venue in the UK, without any doubt.

Standing next to a 2000 year old bath under torchlight with the steam rising cannot be surpassed by any other venue. The professionalism of from the staff from concept to execution was second to none with a full understanding of our theme and exemplory choreography. Despite the formality of the setting and the occasion, the staff were relaxed, approachable and became good friends. Our guests were in awe of the venue and its setting and many have said it's the best wedding they have ever been to.

The Roman Baths were a perfect venue for our wedding. The location is stunning, the staff were very professional, friendly and accommodating, and the venue and catering organisation operated seamlessly in the run up to our big day. With a location like the Roman Baths you and your guests can't help but be impressed - our photos of the evening look stunning. Otto, the event manager, was excellent and made a good evening even better!

The staff were all really helpful leading up to the day, and also on the night itself, adding touches to help things go smoothly, many of which we weren't aware of until afterwards as they were so efficient. The venue is amazing, the food was delicious and we had a wonderful night. All our guests were delighted at the unique venue and the chance to see the Baths at night!
