Set in a Grade I-listed property overlooking Queen Square, House of St John’s offers space for smaller gatherings in a more intimate setting, with room for up to 30 guests.
House of St John’s offers two rooms for ceremonies. The Whittington Suite can accommodate up to 30 guests, while the Fitzwarren Room holds 12 guests, including the couple. Each couple will have one and a half hours to enjoy their ceremony and a celebratory toast with their guests.
Amy Grant, Head of Operations and Events at House of St John’s, said: “There is a significant gap in Bath’s wedding venue market for more personalised registry-style weddings that are priced affordably but set in a special location that is more in keeping with the wedding day experience.
“The trend of chic modern micro weddings isn’t slowing down so we have created a beautiful space for couples to tie the knot.
“The venue is perfect for those looking for an intimate wedding, or for those who want a sophisticated legal ceremony before their celebration abroad.
“Our research shows that 43.6% of marriages in 2022 took place on a Saturday, so we’re offering this popular day to meet market demand.”
The standard package includes a personal wedding co-ordinator to plan the ceremony, in addition to venue hire, floral arrangements, ceremony chairs and music.
Optional add-ons range from champagne receptions and an upgraded floral design, to photography, videography, and live musicians.
Guests can also enjoy a discounted stay in the luxury apartments offered at St Catherine’s after their big day.
The venue has also partnered with local Bath suppliers to provide a bespoke experience for couples, from Minerva Wine’s champagne to Honeysuckle’s vibrant floral arrangements.
The team offers a curated list of trusted suppliers, including makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers, and videographers, ensuring a seamless planning process.
