PRIO R PARK BATH | WED D IN GS

Every Wedding at Prior Park Bath is tailored to the wishes and expectation of each couple. We provide a flexible and accommodating approach to the most special of occasions.

The Mansion The impressive entrance hall is the perfect place to enjoy a drinks reception. Entered by an arched doorway, the spacious hall leads through to a substantial portico supported by Corinthian columns. From the portico, there is a wonderful view of the Palladian Bridge set in the valley towards Bath. There is an elaborate outer stairway leading up to the original Mansion front door.

Academy Hall The Academy Hall spans the length of the building corresponding with the Mansion entrance hall below and can seat up to 120 people. The room is decorated with fine hand-worked decorative plasterwork panels and pilasters. The two central doorways are flanked

by Corinthian columns and topped by an ornate frieze.

Three chandeliers hang from the coved ceiling, whilst the room itself offers fantastic views over Bath.

John Wood Chapel Situated to the east side of the Mansion Hall, this room was historically used for musical performances and as a meeting venue. The interior was beautifully designed by John Wood the Elder. There is a feature full-height wall to the right, decorated predominantly with two tiers of columns - Corinthian columns above and Ionic columns below which are arranged around a false pedimented doorway (the apse). Above the apse, is a large ornately decorated dome. There is a raised viewing gallery to the left as you enter the room and a central chandelier hangs from the vaulted ceiling.

The Portico We are now able to offer ceremonies on our beautiful, covered Portico, with steps sweeping down to Prior Park grounds, overlooking the Palladian Bridge and stunning views across Bath.

The Dining Hall The Dining Hall seats up to 160 guests. The interior, a long gallery, has changed very little over the years, it has half panelling to the interior walls and, on the window side, it looks out across the stunning valley to Bath. The Dining Hall offers plenty of room for dancing and is great for evening events.

TESTIMONIALS

Hannah and Tim, August 2024 Thank you so so much to everyone yesterday. It was honestly the best day and everyone said it was one of the best weddings they’ve gone to. Your team were amazing!!

Emily and Harry, August 2024 I’d like to thank you and your colleagues for the exceptional service at the wedding. Staff were friendly, courteous and proactive, the food was wonderful and the venue superlative. The taxi service from the Abbey and back to the town centre was also excellent. A truly memorable experience!

Jo and Alistair, August 2024 Huge thanks to you, Niamh and all the Prior Park team involved in planning, setting up, and delivering a most joyful and celebratory day at the wedding last saturday. From the minibus shuttle to the excellent catering, the waiters/waitresses and bar staff, everyone was most attentive and courteous. Whilst the views and the venue are spectacular, it is people who make a successful event happen and we are grateful and appreciative of the time and effort of the Prior Park team to make the day as memorable as it was.

Jess and Harry, July 2024 Thank you so much for everything! For creating a magical day for us, putting up with our ever-growing list of requests and our tardiness on the day! We will be recommending Prior Park to everyone we know, as I am sure will everyone that was there with us and absolutely wowed by the venue, food and brilliant day.

Jodie and Chris, July 2024 We just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you to you and Niamh for helping us to organise such a special day on Saturday. All of the guests could not believe how incredible the venue was and everything ran so smoothly. We had so many comments on the canapés and main courses/ dessert.

Many of the guests even remarked it was the best wedding they’d been too. Niamh was absolutely amazing and could not do enough to help us, both the day before, day of and day after. We are so grateful that we got to work with her and really appreciate that she went the extra mile on numerous occasions to ensure our day went without a hitch. So once again, thank you all so much, we could not have asked better.

Siobhan and Mike, June 2024 It was a truly wonderful day, the venue was absolutely stunning and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Lots of memories to cherish forever. Thanks again to you and the lovely team at Prior Park for all your help and doing all the behind the scenes that keeps the day running!

Andrew and Iona, April 2024 We had such a wonderful day, everyone had a great time and that is in no small part down to you and the team and we can’t thank you enough; everything just worked brilliantly.

Carly and Simon, December 2023 Thanks for everything you and Niamh helped with on our wedding day, I felt you both went above and beyond and it was just a perfect day.

Cherry and Matt, October 2023 Thank you so much for having us at Prior Park, Matt and myself enjoyed every moment of it on the day and we simply cannot ask for more. All the guests loved the venue, the food and the service. I just cannot explain how many people spoke so highly of it.

Tom and Hannah, September 2023 Thanks again for organising everything at Prior Park college, we truly had the best day.

Helen and David, August 2023 We want to express our immense gratitude to Prior Park College for helping us create a truly memorable day. Our guests were blown away by the impressive Mansion House venue and the spectacular views of Bath from the portico, which made our wedding ceremony even more magical.

This was complimented by the sensational food served throughout the day. Furthermore, the service provided by the catering staff was first class and very attentive. From our first meeting with James a year before our wedding, he was accommodating, flexible and professional and helped guide us in the run up to our day. Thank you once again!

Amy and Adam, August 2023 We can’t thank you and the team enough. Our day was so perfect. We have just received our photos back they are beautiful. So many lovely memories.

Mr and Mrs English, July 2023 We are slowly resurfacing after an amazing week away in Belfast and Northern Ireland and wanted to say an absolutely gigantic thank you to you and all your team at Prior Park. We really couldn’t have wished for a better venue for our wedding reception.

The staff on the day were friendly and welcoming and hugely efficient at helping where needed. Thanks to you (and Matt) for putting up with all our demands, odd queries and being so fantastic along the way. The communication has been fantastic and so professional, and you made everything always seem possible which totally eradicated any of the ‘wedding stress’ you so often read about. We’ve had loads of compliments about the delicious food which was absolutely perfect and people have been absolutely raving about Prior in general... We really couldn’t be more grateful for all your help in putting together the wedding day of our dreams! Huge thanks from us both for making everything run so smoothly and the day feel absolutely perfect for us.

Christine (Aunt of Groom), July 2023 I am writing to say thank you so much for organising my nephews wedding. It was an absolutely fabulous day and the venue utterly outstanding. It would be true to say we have all been blown away by the whole day and we couldn’t have wished for it to be more perfect. Many thanks for all your hard work and making the day so special for everyone.
