If you're looking for a quiet and simple ceremony, set within a grand historic building, our Register Office at the Guildhall in Bath is the ideal place.
Guildhall, Bath
The iconic Guildhall, a magnificent Grade 1 Listed Georgian and Victorian building in the heart of Bath, houses our Bath Register Office.
The Guildhall is an impressive setting for a ceremony, with Georgian interiors and grand staircases creating an elegant wedding scene. A short stroll away is the beautifully kept Parade Gardens which overlook the River Avon and Pulteney Bridge, and the Roman Baths are just as close too, marking the union of two people in picture perfect harmony.
For couples seeking a small ceremony, our Register Office rooms provide an affordable and dignified option. The ceremony will take place in a tidy office environment rather than a ceremonial room. The ceremony is for the couple and two witnesses only, and the content of the ceremony is simple and straightforward yet meaningful.
Other options for a more intimate ceremony
If you were thinking of booking our Register Office, you might also consider a ceremony in one of the other more intimate rooms in the Guildhall. These ceremonies are for four guests (two of whom will act as your witnesses.) You may exchange personal vows and rings if you wish, but music and readings cannot be included. Find out below what's on offer and how to book.

Photographs
Your photographer will not be able to take photographs during your ceremony unless they are one of your witnesses. However, photographs can be taken after your ceremony as you exit the building onto the high street. Parade Gardens are close by (open during the summer months) and can provide a lovely backdrop for your wedding photos.
Confetti
Unfortunately, no confetti can be thrown whilst inside the Guildhall or at the main entrance to the Guildhall. Due to environmental concerns a small amount of confetti may be thrown at the south door of the Guildhall. This confetti must be biodegradable or natural dried petals. Confetti cannons are not permitted anywhere in Bath and North East Somerset.
