From tying the knot in the bay of the Banqueting Hall surrounded by oil paintings, or saying your vows in front of the magistrate’s chair in our 19th century court room, it’s sure to be the perfect setting for your big day. But why let the celebrations at the Guildhall stop once you’re married? Our rooms are perfect for wedding receptions with spaces made for dining and dancing. Picture your guests dancing into the night under lead crystal chandeliers, toasting to your marriage in the marble foyer by the red carpet staircase, or enjoying a lovely meal in the suitably named Banqueting Hall – we have it all! Our wedding packages below provide great value when hiring the building which gives you the time you need to make sure every finishing touch is perfect. However, anything is possible and our team can assist with single room hires and bespoke packages, as well as helping take the stress out of organising with catering, bar, entertainment, and layout advice - Just get in touch and see what we can do! All prices include VAT. Latest finish 0200 on request. Packages from £900-£3850 Rooms from £200-£1400

An exceptionally well presented guildhall

An exceptionally well presented guildhall. Stunning paintings on the wall, a really classy feel to the whole place. I do fairs and markets here and it works brilliantly - the tourists love it and families find it inviting and welcoming. The bathroom is spotless and the staff are all helpful.

Calm, professional approach

Your help and support, right from the start, made such a difference and allowed us to feel confident about our plans. The Guildhall was a wonderful venue to use and provided just the right setting for the ceremony and the reception. The turn around between the two events was completed so efficiently and people were surprised to be ushered back in so soon! We really appreciated your calm, professional approach and your kindness too. I certainly did need the cup of tea that you brought me!

You and your team were marvellous yesterday and helped make the day run so smoothly, I could not be more grateful.

I wanted to drop a line to say thank you for the wonderful organisation of our conference yesterday. It ran very smoothly and everyone commented on how lovely the venue was, and they enjoyed the delicious food.. Thank you for your care and attention and hope to meet you again soon.

Amazing Value and an amazing welcome

I wanted to say the most enormous thank you to you both, for your support in advance of and during our special day. I think you both really went above and beyond in looking after us, and particularly during the day, Graham was a much-valued source of calm and support! We were so pleased with our choice - it's an amazing space, amazing value and most of all an amazing welcome from you both. We will be in touch soon I hope with some photos.

Dear Graham, Luke and the rest of the guildhall team. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting such a wonderful evening. It was really special.

People loved the ambiance of the Guildhall

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for all the arrangements for Anna Treseder’s Celebration Party on 11th July. The whole day went off so smoothly, and Luke and Keith made sure that they were on hand to help with anything that we needed. We really valued their unobtrusive support in making the occasion such a success. People came from far and wide and loved the ambience of the Guildhall. It is such a special venue, but then we are biased having held a couple of events there!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help, both on Friday, but really since we first met. It has been a real pleasure working with you both. I can speak for everyone in saying how well the day ran. The option to use the Courtroom made for a very intimate feel to the meeting and Sam's support meant that there were no IT-related delays (which are so common at these events). As we have suggested earlier, we would like to book you for the same event on 23rd June 2023.
