Spotlight on... BRISTOL Tie the knot in a local hotspot ARNOS VALE 0117 971 9117 | www.arnosvale.org.uk/weddings Right in the heart of Bristol, Arnos Vale is the ideal location if you’re looking for something a little bit different. You have the opportunity to mix and match three characterful locations for your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening revelries. Nestled among the trees you’ll find woodland wedding venue, the Underwood Centre. Its large oak beams and rustic tin roof complement the surroundings beautifully. Fairylights hang from the canopy to provide a twinkle to your ceremony and wooden benches offer informal seating for your guests. After the “I dos,” make your way to the rustic drinks shed for a celebratory glass of bubbly followed by toasting marshmallows around the firepit. For an informal feast, think afternoon tea, picnic hampers, sharing platters, barbecue or hog roast. Picnic benches can also be ordered to provide extra seating for your drinks reception or woodland dining. Here, the venue can accommodate up to 80 guests (60 seated and a further 20 standing). Furry friends are also welcome! The Spielman Centre, designed by Charles Underwood in 1839 is a Victorian building, constructed using the finest materials of its day, The attached Atrium cafe brings a modern twist and an extra space for you to utilise during the evening celebrations. Make a grand entrance as you ascend the stone steps, through the large wooden doors into the elegant interior where 90 loved ones await with magnificent leaded windows allowing natural light to flood the room. Meanwhile, the natural décor offers a blank canvas for you to create the day of your dreams. Here, you can indulge in a hearty buffet, afternoon tea or informal sharing feast. But if you prefer a more formal dining arrangement there’s space for a sitdown meal for up to 70 nearest and dearest. A band or DJ fits perfectly in the Spielman Centre, which can host 140 for your evening reception. Finally, the Anglican Chapel, complete with original Victorian features is the centrepiece of the venue collection. Ornate floor tiles guide you into the vast space with elegant curved windows and marble wall plaques offering a classic yet stylish atmosphere. Following the vows, make your way outside for a drinks reception while the venue team transform the space for your wedding breakfast. Choose from preferred caterers for delicious seasonal menus. The Anglican Chapel is licensed for up to 100 guests and can accommodate the same for your wedding breakfast. You can also combine it with the Underwood Centre or Spielman Centre for your evening reception to create a bespoke wedding day. https://chloemary.co www.pipandsimon.co.uk www.leeshawilliamsphoto.com 15 LOCAL VENUES
