Absolutely perfect

Thank you to the team at the Royal Bath hotel who went above and beyond to make our day so special. The communication with Tracey and her team leading up the Wedding was great, as she eased our minds with us living so far away, and answered all of the many many questions we had.
We arrived at the hotel a few days before the wedding, the staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and friendly. Tracey worked with us throughout and made us feel so comfortable. We set up our room the day before, which was really relaxing and organized
On the morning of the Wedding , Tracey made sure that both of us were relaxed and ease. As the time grew near to the ceremony, I did become nervous, Tracey grabbed hold of the situation and talked me through step by step , which I have to say was the best way I have experienced. She was absolutely fabulous!
The hotel had been going through refurbishments, and we were very lucky to be in the newly decorated rooms. We had the ceremony in the Bay View suite, our canapes in room 1833, and Oscars restaurant for food and the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, we decided to have a fork buffet and a buffet in the evening so our guests could help themselves. Our Wedding was filled with love, fun and lots of laughter and we thank everyone at the Royal Bath hotel for making our day special.

An absolutely beautiful experience

We want to thank everyone at Royal Bath hotel who helped us throw our dream wedding. We had the absolute best day ever (despite the weather) and everyone who attended the wedding said it was an absolute treat, full of love. The hotel has a real vintage, classical vibe and the team who work there are very friendly and accommodating. Love Becky & Craig Laurie x

Fabulous venue, planner and day

From the day we booked our special day to the day itself, our wedding planner (Tracey) was brilliant.
We had the unfortunate cancellation due to Covid and both the venue and Tracey was very understanding.
The day was perfect in every way.

Magical . Every bit our Disney dream wedding

Tracy , James and their wonderful team made our wedding day magical. With a beauty and the beast theme the royal Bath gave us a grand ballroom with beautiful staircase, alongside breathtaking grounds for our ceremony with views of the sea. The wedding breakfast was delicious and our guests were amazed on the quality of food and how much a variety there was. The chef was very accommodating to our menu requests. We would recommend the Royal Bath Hotel as a wedding venue to ensure you have the most amazing day.

Tracy is worth her weight in gold

Tracy was absolutely amazing, nothing was to big of a job, she was so professional and despite the changes even last minute that we needed to do, Tracy accommodated is no questions asked! A few things we wanted to do for the wedding reception Tracy made it happen! On our wedding day, even that morning while we were getting ready Tracy came to our room and helped out doing bridesmaids dresses to helping me get dressed and recording our special moments , not part of her job description but I must say one truly amazing wedding planner! Now to our wedding day. She made sure everything ran smoothly and completely on time, from drinks reception to our first dance! Tracy also made sure our guests checking in and out were fully accommodated l! We want to Thankyou so much for your professionalism and care and effort you put in to making our day a magical one!

Great venue with friendly staff and seaviews. Indoor or outdoor ceremony offered, weather depending.

Wonderful staff and service in a Victorian hotel offering option of a garden wedding or beautiful indoor ceremony room overlooking the sea. Stunning reception room and lighting in the ballroom with a grand staircase for the bride and groom to make their entrance. Lovely photo opportunities within the hotel and grounds with a balcony area giving beach and sea backdrop to photos. All food was amazing from the canapes, the 4 course dinner through to the evening buffet. All enquiries answered by the lovely Tracey leading up to the day and couldn't have wished for a more perfect day.

Myself and Hannah would like to say a huge thank y

Myself and Hannah would like to say a huge thank you to Tracey our wedding planner.
Tracey did a fantastic job throughout the organisation and planning of our wedding, which on the day went off without a glitch. Not once did we need to worry about a thing allowing us to enjoy our day to the very best.
Tracey was extremely attentive and ensured all our wants, needs and wishes were achieved on our special day. All of our guests spoke highly of the work she did and we all agree she is worth more than her weight in gold!
As we live in Yorkshire we had to do a lot of organising via phone and email which Tracey kept on top of up to the last minute.
We would highly recommend Tracey as a wedding planner and the Royal Bath for a wedding venue as the rooms available are outstanding. The staff on the day were amazing and it exceeded our expectation by a mile!
Thank you to all that were involved in making our special day spectacular!
We would love to do it all again!!
The new Mrs & Mrs Conway-Cox

Thank you so much

We were delighted with the service Conor and Noel made to ensure our day ran smoothly. Our guests commented that the food was perfect and everyone enjoyed it so, not as much as we did though! The waiting staff led by Joe, were great, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Royal Bath Hotel
