The Avon Gorge Hotel Full Description
A stunning wedding venue like no other that’s truly out of the ordinary. Whether you choose a BBQ on your private terrace with fantastic views of the Gorge and Suspension bridge or step down into Aquam Bibe. Envision your grand red carpet entrance on the original marble staircase, leading into your private wedding venue with an abundance of historical character and charm, yet modern and contemporary at the same time. Many features of the former baths of the Spa & Hydro hotel are still preserved and make Aquam bibe so special today. From steel water pipes that brought the “health-giving” spa water into Clifton, to beautiful stained glass windows, marble staircase and details of tile floors. Arrange your visit to see and fully appreciate, how the mix of historic charm and modern design could be the perfect background for your wedding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Avon Gorge Hotel?

All the weddings held in our venue are the best, as every wedding has and will be unique and special.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do not go to too many Wedding Fairs (4 max) as you will be overwhelmed with all the available things you can have. You will be stressed before you have even begun your wedding planning. As for venues, try and see a good variety so you can decide what you would like to have as each venue will offer something different. I would say 2 of each types.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

The little things that make up the venue the best and the wedding to be different from another wedding. It's the simple touches like, ribbons tied on a napkin, favours laid in a certain way or just making sure everything on the table is perfect and all the same.
