Venue type:
Historic Building Description: The Assembly Rooms is one of Bath’s most prestigious addresses and has been at the heart of the city’s social life since the 18th century. All rooms are entered via a grand foyer, its red carpeted aisle making a fitting entrance for any bride.
At the Assembly Rooms, the wedding party can move seamlessly from room to room throughout the day. With up to 120 guests, you could have a civil ceremony in the beautiful Octagon followed by reception drinks in the Card Room, where there is access to a small Georgian garden. The Tea Room, with its Whitefriars crystal chandeliers and elegant pillars, is perfect for a seated wedding breakfast and dancing.
If your numbers are greater than 120, you could have a civil ceremony in the Tea Room and a reception in the stunning Ball Room, which can accommodate up to 280. The Fashion Museum, based on the lower ground floor, can make an inspiring venue for a drinks reception and is available from 6.30pm.
The Assembly rooms are available all day with the exception of August, when the rooms may be hired from 5pm.
