Venue type:
Historic Building Description: Situated at the centre of the World Heritage City, the Roman Baths and Pump Room is without doubt one of the most delightful buildings in the country. Unique and steeped in history, it is the perfect setting for your romantic day. The venue is suitable for an intimate group up to much larger wedding parties. There are two options when using the Roman Baths and Pump Room for your wedding: either in the morning or in the evening.
With its steaming waters and subtle torchlight, the Great Bath is a stunning venue for a civil ceremony at 8.30am and is perfect for both small groups and parties of up to 100 people. This could then be followed with a wedding breakfast in the elegant Georgian Pump Room. If you wanted to continue your celebrations, you could hire the Kingston Room or Drawing Room, which are suitable for up to 50 people, or for larger numbers, you could use a room at the Guildhall or Assembly Rooms.
In the evening, you can celebrate with a drinks reception around the Great Bath from 7pm followed by dinner and dancing in the Pump Room. A drinks reception is also a fine choice for a gathering the night before a wedding. • Roman Baths available at 8.30am for a ceremony all year round, from 7pm for a reception September to June • Pump Room available from 8pm all year round
TERRACE AND RECEPTION HALL Although not available for a ceremony, the Terrace is a more intimate alternative to the Pump Room and can accommodate up to 80 guests for dinner overlooking the Great Bath. The adjoining Reception Hall can also be hired and is ideal for dancing following your meal. Lighting on the Terrace can be changed to suit your colour scheme and the lighting in the Reception Hall highlights the exquisite architectural features. • Available from 7pm September to June
KINGSTON ROOM AND DRAWING ROOM For weddings with up to 50 people, these period rooms are perfect. With lovely views over to Bath Abbey they are a beautiful choice for the more intimate celebration. You could have a ceremony in the Kingston Room followed by a drinks reception in the Drawing Room. At 7pm, you could then have dinner on the Terrace followed by dancing in the Reception Hall. These rooms are available to hire at any time in the day.
