Elopement & Micro Weddings

Elope into 2000 years of history at the Roman Baths

Immerse yourself in the magic of these breath-taking surroundings. Watch the flickering torches and hear the water trickling into the Great Bath as you exchange your vows at an intimate torch-lit ceremony. You and your select number of guests (you will need to provide two witnesses) will gather informally on the Roman paving alongside the thermal waters, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying your very special moment. While being outdoors, the space is also sheltered, keeping you safe from any wet weather.

Elopements often take place in the morning and following a Sunrise Ceremony and photographs beside the Great Bath, you have the freedom to celebrate as you wish. Why not experience a special wedding breakfast in the iconic Pump Room above or book a private boat on the River Avon? Bath has so much to offer and the choices are endless.

Sunset weddings for slightly larger groups take place at 7.30pm. Following your ceremony, celebratory drinks and photographs, you can enjoy a meal on the enclosed Terrace overlooking the Great Bath. This is a cosy and atmospheric spot to continue your celebrations where you can party until 1am.

Intimate weddings at the Victoria Art Gallery

Perfect for art lovers and those looking for something a little different, Bath’s beautiful Victoria Art Gallery ticks all the boxes. At this venue, you can have just a couple of guests or many more if you wish for a romantic and informal wedding ceremony. There are a number of interesting artworks in the Upper Gallery’s permanent collection that provide a backdrop for when you exchange your vows. Alternatively, the more contemporary Lower Gallery has a changing programme, so you can choose an exhibition that will suit you!

Following your ceremony, you can enjoy celebratory drinks and nibbles and you are free to choose your own caterer.
