The scale of this industrial space, with its high ceilings, exposed brick and stonework, is the perfect blank canvas for creative couples who want to create a wedding that is true to them.

FAQS

Why do I need a 2 day hire?

As we are a blank canvas, everything needs to be put into place from the lighting to the flowers. An average set up time is 8 hours, so we break it into two days. On the Friday the lighting/large décor is put into place & then the furniture is set up. This gives you and family/friends time in the afternoon to set up flowers/table plan/place cards etc. The final touches will be carried out by our staff and your suppliers on the day, so you only need to worry about getting ready!

What is it included in the hire?

We offer a dry hire so that you can personalise your wedding. Included with the venue come 12 round tables, 12 trestle tables 150 white or black chairs, sound system, static screen, festoon lights in the dining area, parking and on the day staff. Our wedding manager will also be here to help you in every stage of the planning, from suggesting suppliers and décor to drawing up your timeline and floorplan with you and coordinating all your suppliers.

Do you allow outside catering?

No. We think that our in house caterers Relish are superb and really accommodating. They can provide all type of foods from a traditional English meals to mezzes, Mexican or curries! They are open to all sorts of services such us sit down meals, buffets, BBQs or even live cooking stations. You are of course welcome to bring your own cake and cheese and they provide corkage options too.

How do I book a showround?

We hold viewings on most wedding mornings, before wedding guests arrive. It's the best time to see the venue dressed up and in its full glory! To check the next available date please email eider@paintworksbristol.co.uk

Testimonials

The Wedding was absolutely amazing.... we had the best day. The Paintworks looked as good as the weather. We got so many comments from our guests about how great the venue was. We can't thank you, Fay and Jess enough for everything you have done for us, we could not be happier with how it went, it was definitely worth waiting 3 years for.

Liz & Ben

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all the hard work and effort you put into assisting us with our wedding and organising, and for all your help on the big day itself! It still seems surreal to think that we managed to pull off everything we had planned and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you, so thank you!

Many thanks to all the Paintworks team that made my son and daughter-in-law's wedding so special last Thursday. This was their third attempt over the past 16 months and at last it happened. Your staff were attentive and friendly, the venue perfect and Tom and Laura loved every minute of their wedding day.

Tom & Laura

Mat and I would like to say a huuuggee thank you for all of your help on the run up to our big day as well as on the day itself. We had the most wonderful day and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. It looked absolutely magical all lit up and decorated and we had many comments about what a fabulous venue it was and how fantastic it looked. The ceremony felt incredibly intimate and it was so special to have everyone so close around us really feeling like part of the ceremony - it was just what we wanted. We both just want to do the whole day all over again. We couldn't have organised it without your help and advice either, so thank you for all of that along the way. Thanks so much again and all the best for the future.

Sarah & Matt

Thank you seems like too small a word for what you did for us. You made our dreams come true on Saturday and we had the wedding we had always pictured, despite what’s going on with the world… so thank you!
