About Watershed

A central Bristol wedding venue with a difference. You can have the choice of tying the knot on stage in one of Bristol's most beloved cinemas, or enjoy a fabulous view of the harbourside with your very own decorated event space.

No two Watershed weddings are exactly the same – because this is all about you. We offer striking spaces with lots of potential to help create your vision, and flexible packages for you to choose depending on the size of your party and budget. Our private Waterside event spaces overlook the harbourside, benefitting from lots of natural light, an exposed brick wall, antique wooden beams and luscious hanging plants.
With an experienced in-house team, dedicated to creating your dream day, we are licensed to host civil marriage and partnership ceremonies right here. Our three cinemas can seat 190, 90 and 42 respectively, with a wide variety of technical support options available for this included. You can decorate this space the day before for no extra charge.
Added extras can include recording, live streaming and PA system hire for live music. We have a simple £500 inc VAT rate for ceremonies (not including catering or reception space hire). We also offer a variety of reception, wedding breakfast and evening packages, including fully inclusive packages for 30 to 120 guests and we also offer our special Micro Wedding packages for under 30 guests.

Our Sustainability Commitments

Watershed’s environmental policy is applied across the entire organisation and its activities wherever practically possible, with a focus on: Energy consumption (electricity and gas): Watershed uses Julie’s Bicycle IG tools (via Energy Bank) to measure the environmental impact of its annual energy and water usage. The information is used to determine whether measures taken are effective in achieving the aim of minimising carbon emissions. Water: Watershed maintains efficient water management and ensures this is considered throughout our building management, and future plans. Food: Watershed has an ethical, sustainable approach to food. This means that ingredients sourced are fresh and locally produced. Where possible, our ingredients travel only a short distance – from plot to plate. This ethos both supports the local economy and minimises the environmental impact of our restaurant and conferencing offer. Service providers: Watershed actively seeks out local providers for its services. Travel: Watershed is conscious of the negative impact of transport on the environment and seeks to minimise the impact it has as an organisation. Office Management: Environmental considerations are a priority for Watershed when sourcing replacement or new office equipment and furnishings. Watershed endeavors to purchase items which are as environmentally friendly as possible from local suppliers. Recycling: Watershed is committed to minimising waste and recycling waste products wherever possible and pursuing circular solutions. Staff training: Watershed is committed to maintaining 65% of staff are Carbon Literacy Trained. Carbon Literacy Training is embedded into the onboarding process of new staff members, holding training sessions for new staff members every six months.
