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 Guidlhall, 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.

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 building, but biodegradable confetti can be thrown as you exit the building onto the high street. Confetti cannons are not permitted anywhere.
