We have three very unique locations for civil ceremonies. The Temple of Minerva - a hidden gem in the tranquil setting of Bath Botanical Gardens, Royal Victoria Park Bandstand with views of the stunning Royal Crescent and Parade Gardens with a choice of the Edwardian Bandstand or riverside Colonnades central to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath with wonderful views off Pulteney Bridge, City spires and Bath Abbey.
Each venue is licensed for civil ceremonies and has an adjacent lawn area which makes them perfect locations for marquees.

A beautiful venue! My wife and I got married here in December 2019 and it was the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony. The staff were very kind and helped to make everyone feel welcome.

Wish we could do it all again!
We had a very special day thank you. Wish we could do it all again!
The ceremony went beautifully and the staff were very helpful indeed. The registrars were fantastic too.
Thank you for adding the bunting and laying out all the chairs for us, the bandstand looked lovely.

We had the perfect wedding day at the Temple of Mi
We wanted something simple and relaxed but special and that's what we got. Sectioning off the part of the Botanical Gardens by the temple works so well and the magnolia blossoms are the prettiest background ever!
