Minerva Vines is an exclusive use venue. When you book your wedding or event with us it will be yours to use for the number of days allocated without any interruption. Although the Orangery is the heart of the whole venue, we want the vineyard and surroundings to be explored and used any way you see fit.

Minerva Vines is licensed until midnight which is when we kindly ask for the bar to be closed and music turned off. We will have security on site until each person is safely in an Uber/taxi and out of the venue.

Minerva Vines is a dry hire venue so suppliers involved in the day are up to the discretion of the client/planner. We will of course offer recommendations if there isn’t a planner involved at the booking stage. Suppliers are well looked after at Minerva Vines. A ‘suppliers village’ offers bathrooms, the kitchen, a lounge area and storage that is separate from the main event.

The Orangery is fit for any type of weather. There is built in air conditioning and heating as well as windows and doors which open all around the structure to allow natural air flow and ventilation.

We ask that each couple appoints a professional wedding planner or an on the day coordinator for their wedding. Having an experienced planner on site allows you to relax and fully enjoy your day, knowing that timelines, suppliers, and logistics are being expertly overseen behind the scenes.
Your planner will act as our main point of contact throughout the event, helping everything flow effortlessly and ensuring the highest standard of experience for you and your guests.
If you don’t already have someone, we can provide a curated list of trusted recommended planners who are familiar with The Orangery and our grounds.

The City of Bath is lucky enough to be surrounded by beautiful Churches which we can put you in touch with if you wish for a Church Ceremony.
For a Ceremony within the estate you have the choice of a number of outdoor areas; within the vines or the meadows. We welcome you to be creative and search for a space that feels completely you.
Coming in 2027 will be The Pavilion. Another smaller glass house adjacent the Orangery; designed for indoor Ceremonies, Drinks Receptions and Evening parties; however you see fit!
