Plans are in full swing for our annual Wedding Open Day on Sunday 26th February 2012.

Our Wedding Open Day gives couples from across the Bristol region the opportunity to visit Alveston House and experience the warmth and hospitality of the team and of it’s owner and General Manager, Julie Camm.

We have been licensed for Civil Ceremonies for over 12 years and during that time have seen hundreds of happy couples tie the knot from all over the South West of England.

Our Ceremony Suite has recently been refurbished together with a number of bedrooms throughout the hotel – all of which will be on show during the Wedding Open Day. Whether you are interested in a Civil Ceremony or Civil Partnership, a complete Wedding Package or simply an informal evening Wedding Reception we can design a personal, bespoke Wedding Package just for you.

Due to the popularity of the event we have had to limit numbers this year as we want to ensure that you will be able to see the hotel and talk to one of our Wedding Co-ordinators in peaceful surroundings. Attendance will require pre-registration via our website and will only take a couple of seconds.

Visit our Wedding Open Day page on our website by clicking here. You can register your interest and we will contact you with further details.

We look forward to welcoming you to Alveston House Hotel very soon.

Once again Christmas and New Year have proved popular times for those romantics amongst us, with Wedding Engagements taking place all over the Bristol area during the festive holidays.

We have been contacted by many ‘brides and grooms-to-be’ since Christmas Day – all wanting to plan their perfect Wedding.

The good news is that we not only provide inclusive Wedding Packages to suit those couples wanting a Ceremony, Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception with Buffet and Disco but we can also provide bespoke Wedding Packages tailor-made to each couple’s preferences.

Whether you are wanting to arrange an informal Wedding Ceremony followed by a Finger Buffet or a more traditional Wedding to include a delicious 3 course Wedding Breakfast we would be delighted to provide a quote specifically written for you.

As well as being licenced for Civil Weddings and Civil Partnerships, Alveston House Hotel, Bristol, is also a popular venue for the renewal of Wedding Vows – another great excuse for a fantastic party!

Please call us now on 01454 415050 to discuss your Wedding plans – we would love to hear from you.

Fantastic news from the Thornbury in Bloom team.

Following their outstanding success in winning a Gold in this year’s Britain in Bloom competition, the Royal Horticultural Society have now invited Thornbury to enter the top and most prestigious class of all ‘The Champion of Champions’.

With so much doom and gloom around the country we are so very fortunate to have, here in our little part of Bristol, such a dedicated and committed team of people determined to make a difference in their community.

Many congratulations to Sue and the team for their continued efforts to make Thornbury such a beautiful place to live.

Good luck for 2012…

We received a wonderful review recently on trip advisor from a guest who was visiting Bristol and needed a hotel room at the last minute.  This sort of thing makes everything worth while…

I arrived on a dark rainy evening without a booking or any baggage (business meeting in Bristol overran) having just seen the hotel sign when driving along the A38.  The welcome was as good as going home!  I got the last room available that night, a bit small as it is one they keep it as a ‘reserve’ but it suited me fine for somewhere to sleep for a night.  The meal I got in the restaurant was outstanding, better than the one I had a couple of days earlier which had been more than double the price.  Breakfast was also great, Full English with everything you could wish for is included in the room rate.  The staff are wonderfully helpful, they converted a disastrous day into a great one.  I’ll stay again at the first opportunity – business or pleasure – when I’m next in the area.

Award-winning Carriages Restaurant provides an ideal location for your office Christmas Party or Lunch.

With Christmas only a matter of weeks away Bristol companies are really getting in the Christmas spirit and treating their staff to fabulous Christmas Parties.

We are already full every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night during December but are pleased to offer Wednesday 21st December as an additional Christmas Party night.  Spaces are limited so please get your colleagues together and phone now on 01454 415050 to reserve your table.

Have you thought about a pre-Christmas Lunch instead of trying to get everyone organised for an evening party?

Our pre-Christmas Lunches offer fantastic value at just £19.50 per person for a festive three course lunch including Coffee and Mince Pies.
