Weddings

Get married at a museum! Blaise Museum is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, civil partnership ceremonies and naming ceremonies.

This beautiful historic house is set in 400 acres of landscaped parkland and has been a museum for well over 50 years. The displays here feature a wide selection of toys and games, intriguing domestic equipment and costume dating from the 1730s to the present day.

Tie the knot in our sumptuous Picture Room surrounded by paintings from Bristol’s fine art collection or say ‘I do’ outside in the pretty Dairy Garden. The choice is yours.

Arranging a registrar

You will need to make arrangements with the registrar separately to perform the ceremony. The Register office can be contacted on 0117 922 2800 or through the Bristol City Council website.
We are happy to reserve a date while you make the arrangements. In addition to the registrar’s fees, there’s also a Notice of Marriage payment for each person being married.
