Despite delays and uncertainty due to COVID-19, we could still have a very special wedding day due to the kindness, flexibility, and professionalism of Heritage Park Weddings. At every stage of the process we felt confident that we had made the right choice of venue. Thank you for giving us a fantastic day we’ll never forget!

“The venue is beautiful and we are able to take phenomenal photos with the most incredible background. The ceremony was intimate with only 16 guests and everyone felt part of the day even with the covid restrictions in place. We could have not had a better wedding day. Thank you so much”

“The Temple was perfect for our small intimate wedding with just our family present. It is light, airy and with part of our ceremony being able to take place outside, it was better than we could have hoped for, a real family event particularly memorable given the difficulties in having weddings due to Covid restrictions. We made the most of the unique situation and setting and would recommend this location to anyone wanting something beautiful and slightly different”

“We really did have such a wonderful day and was very fortunate with the weather. The gardens were looking stunning dressed in their autumn colours. You and your colleague made everything work to perfection and we cannot praise or recommend you and the Temple of Minerva in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Bath enough. Thank you so very much.”

“Everything was perfect, we had come from a venue that went bankrupt and both Jess and Jenny at Heritage Park Weddings were amazing at making us feel at ease and giving us the perfect wedding. The contact was amazing, they were both so good at answering our questions and making sure everything went smoothly, along with suggestions to make our day even better. We ended up with an incredible wedding, beautiful ceremony and a fabulous evening celebration”

“Jess & Jenny were excellent. From the very first meeting, where we visited the venues, right up until the wedding day itself – they were both so supportive and helpful. No question was too much or left unanswered. The venue was a dream come true and we would do it all again exactly the same with you if we could!”

“It was so incredibly special to get married at the Temple of Minerva. Paul and I had our second date in the botanical gardens and then got engaged at the same spot, so it was incredible to have our wedding party in the same place. We got married in April with just 6 people then had a big party in August with friends and family to celebrate. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was, and how different our party felt. The flexibility and freedom to bespoke-create our own party was the biggest draw to the venue for us and the co-ordinator was fantastic at facilitating this, as well as providing guidance and advice when needed. We really felt fully supported but equally left to our own devices!”

Jenny was absolutely brilliant and put us at ease every time we communicated. During our visit to the venue, she really helped us visualise the whole day and made very helpful and sensible suggestions. We had no doubt that we would be in good hands on the day of our ceremony.

The venue is beautiful, the gardens in the sunshine on the day were more than we could of hoped for and everyone commented on what a beautiful and relaxed setting it was! Jenny was so helpful and there was never a stupid question! We are so thankful for the staff who helped on the day as well! The ceremony was more special than we could ever imagine and it’s without a doubt down the beautiful Temple and gardens!

The gardens are nothing but stunning, no matter the season or weather. Although we had quite a large number of guests, it still felt so intimate and beautiful. We loved our special day and hope many other couples enjoy this gorgeous venue!
