Have your heart set on booking a wedding band? You can feel free to fall head over heels for any one of the venues below as each has live band facilities – party on!

Starting strong with this impressive 900-year-old, Norman church. This place has bags of charm and we can almost guarantee your guests won’t have seen a venue quite like this.

The Mount Without’s well-stocked bar will ensure no one is thirsty while their four ‘in house’ caterers will keep everyone fuelled so they can party all night long. Each caterer is a small, independent Bristol business that has been hand-selected by the Venue Director.

You can invite between 40 and 150 people for your ceremony here and up to 200 seated reception guests and 300 standing guests. Plus, dog owners are more than welcome to invite their furry besties to the ceremony, as long as they’re kept on a lead.
