Exceptional

We cannot recommend Debby and the Bailbrook house team enough. They went above and beyond for us for our wedding. We had an intimate reception with just close family, Bailbrook reserved an outside area for us to play garden games followed by canapés, champagne and a 3 course lunch in a private room in the house! It was perfect for us! Thanks again, the Dela Rues!

Wonderful wedding

We had our daughters wedding reception at Bailbrook Hotel in October. The hotel grounds and function room are beautiful. The panning was made very easy by the hotel events staff who were efficient and friendly, nothing was to much trouble and they were alway available to help.
On the day the wedding was perfect.... The food was delicious receiving many compliments from our guests who remarked it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.
The staff were excellent, couldn't be faulted, helpful and friendly catering to our every request.
Would recommend this lovely hotel without reservation to anyone looking for a luxury and friendly hotel wedding venue.

Top Wedding Venue

We had our wedding reception on 5th September 2009 at Bailbrook House and could not have wished for a better venue. They were well organised, extremely professional and displayed knowledge and expertise in Wedding Planning that gave us the confidence that they could manage our day right from the outset. Planning our reception was made easy and we valued the helpful suggestions that were made. The day itself was planned with military precision but left us totally relaxed, reassured that everything necessary was taken care of. The hotel boasts beautiful rooms and all of our guests expressed how wonderful the event was. A big thank you to all the staff at Bailbrook who made our day so special

A great wedding venue

We had a wonderful time on our wedding day at Bailbrook House. The Queen Charlotte ceremony room, the old part of Bailbrook House and the gardens are very picturesque.
The day went exactly as we wanted thanks to the careful planning sessions we had with Sarah.
The food was delicious and Rycroft from Catering made sure that all our guests requirements were met.
We thought the price very reasonable except the corkage fees but you can't have everything!. We had a very good discount price on rooms for our guests who wanted to stay at the hotel.
It was a very happy and memorable day for us and we would definitely recommend Bailbrook House as a wedding venue.

An Excellent Wedding Venue!

Bailbrook House was a fantastic wedding venue. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of planning our special day with them. We were always warmly welcomed and Sarah McNeil did a fantastic job of supporting us with the arrangements. On the day everything went smoothly which was a great testament to the fantastic team of staff there. The grounds offer many fantastic photo opportunities and the facilities provide everything you need. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bailbrook House.

Excellent Wedding Venue

We had our weddng reception at Bailbrook House three weeks ago and can thoroughly recommend it. From our first meeting with Sarah we were very impressed and it all went wonderfully. All of our guests thought the food was excellent and the venue a lovely setting with very good accomodation. All of the staff were extremely polite and helpful especially on the day. Wish we could do it all again.

A Memorable Occasion

I just wanted to let you know everything went really well last Saturday and I would like to convey our thanks to all those involved in making it a memorable occasion for all of us.

Please express out compliments to the chef - the food was wonderful, everyone commented on it (especially the Strawberry and Champagne Sorbet which was out of this world!) Also thanks to the waitresses who did an excellent job both in the afternoon and in the evening looking after our needs.

Thank you for all your assistance over the past few weeks

Fantastic in every way - lovely venue, great food and extremely professional and friendly staff.

Bailbrook House easily outshone every other venue we looked at in the Bath area. The staff, without exception, couldn't do enough to help. Michael (the wedding coordinator), and Kirsten (catering manager), did everything they possibly could to make it the perfect day for us. It wasn't just ourselves who noticed this, many of our guests were also extremely impressed. We have also had great feedback from guests about the rooms and the food served (which was top class).
If you want a great venue, great food and great service, this is the place for you!!
