LITTLE THEATRE CINEMA 01225 330 803 | www.littleweddings.co.uk Tucked away in Bath’s spa quarter is a characterful little venue full of 1930s style and charm. Offering a range of packages from the vintage extravaganza to the more simple and modest affair, Little Theatre Cinema’s experienced wedding team will guide you through every step of the way to help you create a truly unforgettable day. One of the most exciting reasons to have a Little Wedding is the use of the cinema’s projection and sound facilities to bring that personal touch. From starring in your own short film to walking down the aisle to your favourite piece of music, you and your guests will experience a wedding like no other. After the “I dos,” drinks are served in the courtyard, and included in your wedding package are mini popcorn cartons served from vintage popcorn trays. But don’t worry, if the weather doesn’t hold out, drinks can be served inside the auditorium. You may opt for Screen 1 for your ceremony – the grand auditorium with a 110 guest capacity. You’re offered a two-hour slot for arrivals, ceremony, drinks, popcorn and photos, and there are a whole host of super-special inclusions with your wedding package. The highlights for us are the red carpet experience with large red banners, a beautiful floral archway, roped bollards, white rose entwined bay trees and two frames for your own bespoke film posters. Then, once inside as well as a beautifully-dressed venue, you also get to enjoy a confetti fan experience on exit, which billows out over the balcony. For more intimate “I dos,” Screen 2 is your best option. For cosy nuptials with 65 guests, you’re also offered a two-hour slot including your drinks, popcorn and photos served in the foyer bar area. This Screen too comes with a package full of fabulous touches that you’ll love for your big day. And there’s more, as whatever package you opt for the venue will also gift you a hand-painted cinema clapper board with your names and wedding date, two complimentary cinema tickets for you to return and reminisce after the big day, plus personalised cinema tickets, which can be sent out as save-the-dates or handed out on the day of the wedding. http://rebeccafaithphoto.com Scan to view video 20
