The Avon Gorge Hotel is the perfect backdrop for Wedding and Civil Partnerships. We have one large event space which is perfect for a Wedding Celebration. We are licensed for ceremonies and have the perfect space for your Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception. Whether you choose a BBQ on your own private terrace with fantastic views of the Gorge and the Suspension bridge, or hold your Wedding Breakfast in Aquam Bibe, Avon Gorge has an abundance of historical character and charm, yet modern and contemporary at the same time.
Aquam Bibe is our event space at Avon Gorge located on the lower ground floor of the hotel. It has it's own internal access via a red carpeted, sweeping marble staircase and has many of the lovingly restored features of the former baths of the Spa & Hydro baths, including stained glass windows and mosaic flooring. This space boasts natural daylight and has air-conditioning too. In addition to it's own entrance, it also has a private bar, dedicated restrooms, a lobby and it's own private terrace area.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Hotel du Vin Avon Gorge?
We had a lovely couple that were desperate to get married outside on the terrace with the bridge in the background. It's not something we usually do, but we made it happen and the pictures spoke for themselves! Beautiful backdrops and the weather was on their side so we were so happy to help make their day special.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Relax and enjoy! You are not the hosts, you are the VIP guests so sit back and enjoy while we handle the rest!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
There was a beautiful memory ladder that held pictures of all the guests that were no longer with them - was lovely way for key family members to have a space on their special day
