Wedding Receptions

Whether large or small, the reception for your special day can be catered for at the Wessex Hotel by our experienced banqueting team. Enjoy your reception in our fully air-conditioned Somerset Suite - the largest function venue in central Somerset, with its 250 capacity and its own Cocktail Bar.

The recently refurbished Suite has its own parquet dance floor, its own public address system, plus a stage for discos and bands. Through our own contacts, we can offer you a wide choice of live music bands, DJ’s and entertainers.

With every booking of the Somerset Suite for a wedding reception, the bride and groom can enjoy their wedding night in our Honeymoon Suite with the complements of the management. .

Why not enjoy the Wedding Reception to the full and stay the night at the Wessex? We can offer guests attending a reception held at the Hotel special discounted rates if they should wish to stay. Ask at Reception for further information.

Our Banqueting Supervisor will be happy to supply you with our sample Banquet Menus and Sample Buffet Menus and to discuss your specific requirements.
