Fantastic Wedding Venue

We had an absolutely incredible day at Chippenham Park.

The ground were absolutely immaculate - and the grass was beautifully green - everything is so well look after and all of our guests were complimenting us on the venue.

Nothing was too much to ask - Becky was an absolutely fantastic coordinator and meant that the day ran as smoothly as it possibly could - nothing was out of place, and everything was in hand.

There is an exclusive caterer at Chippenham which we were initially a little apprehensive about, though the quality of food and service was next level, and we again had so many compliments on this. Drinks were never empty!

Cannot recommend Chippenham enough, we truly had the most magical day there. Excellent value for money (especially as we got married on a Monday) and we cannot wait to return to the open gardens and a trip to the cafe.

A Truly Stunning Venue

I’ve had the pleasure of working as a wedding supplier at Chippenham Park for the past 13 years, and it remains one of my favourite venues to return to.
First of all, the venue and grounds are simply breathtaking. The beautiful historic setting, stunning gardens and gorgeous surroundings create the most magical backdrop for a wedding. Every time I arrive, I’m reminded just how special Chippenham Park is — there’s something truly enchanting about the whole place, and it photographs beautifully from every angle.
And then there’s Beccy. She is absolutely fabulous at what she does and a real asset to the venue. Having worked alongside her and the team over the years, I’ve seen first-hand how much care, organisation and attention to detail goes into every wedding.
Becky is professional, warm, approachable and incredibly calm under pressure. She communicates brilliantly with suppliers and is always on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and she has that wonderful ability to make everyone feel supported while quietly keeping everything behind the scenes on track.

As a supplier, having a wedding coordinator who is so organised, friendly and genuinely invested in making each couple’s day perfect makes such a difference. Beccy is an absolute pleasure to work with, and her dedication really shines through.

After 13 years of working at Chippenham Park, I can honestly say it’s a venue I never tire of visiting. Stunning surroundings, beautiful weddings and an exceptional coordinator in Beccy — the perfect combination.

I couldn’t recommend Chippenham Park and Beccy highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend!!

We had the most amazing experience at Chippenham Park for our wedding! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.

Beccy, the event planner, was fantastic from start to finish. She was so helpful, organised and attentive, and made the whole planning process feel effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt completely looked after.

The day itself was perfect, the setting was beautiful, and the whole team helped make it a wedding we’ll never forget. We couldn’t recommend this venue and Beccy highly enough.

Stunning Setting - Exceptional Service! ⭐

As a recommended wedding supplier who works closely with this venue, and my brother got married here!! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing first-hand just how much care, passion and dedication goes into every wedding.

The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning, with multiple beautiful outdoor options for couples wanting a picturesque ceremony setting. Every member of the team is friendly, welcoming and genuinely invested in making each wedding run perfectly.

And Beccy deserves a special mention. She is absolutely exceptional at what she does — passionate, dedicated, organised and incredibly hands-on. She works tirelessly behind the scenes and somehow manages to keep everything running like clockwork, while making couples and suppliers feel completely supported throughout the day.

It’s very clear that this isn’t simply a job to her; she genuinely cares about the weddings she delivers and the couples she works with, and that really does show.
As someone who works alongside the venue, I can honestly say it’s a pleasure to be part of weddings here. The level of service, beautiful surroundings and wonderful team make this a venue I would happily recommend to any couple looking for somewhere truly special.

Stunning venue, brilliant service

Chippenham is hands down one of my favourite venues to photograph at. It's superbly kept, it looks stunning, has a vibe for any kind of wedding and the staff are superbly helpful and super friendly.

The place is immaculate, a bit of a fairytale experience. A large lake, water features, beautiful gardens, gorgeous lakeside pagoda to get married at.....it has everything.

On top of that, you have the service provided by everyone there, from the waiting staff, the bar staff, the regular suppliers, the caterers and last but not least, the amazing Beccy, the co-ordinator and woman who helps keep things smooth and running on the day. Super organised, uber helpful, nothing is too much, everything is done with a smile and a razor sharp wit, so you are guaranteed to be cared for as well as loads of laughs along the way with her. She will have your day ticking over like clockwork.

I genuinely can't wait to get back there again. I love shooting there for all the above reasons as well as the awesome images you can get there. Can't recommend the place and the people enough.

Understated elegance, relaxed atmosphere, vast grounds

We had the most perfect day at Chippenham Park for our wedding of around 125 people. The venue has stunning and vast gardens (for which the guests will only be able to scratch the surface) and a beautiful permanent fixed marquee by a lake. Civil ceremonies can be held there both indoors and outdoors, but equally, there is a beautiful church in the village within walking distance of the venue. The venue’s relationship with Crown Catering Cambridge works well, and many of our guests remarked that it was the best food and service they’ve experienced at a wedding. Generally, Beccy and the team at Chippenham give you a lot of flexibility to craft your perfect day, and are very accommodating. The logistics on the day ran so smoothly, including when we fell behind schedule - the team reacted so well and moved things round cleverly, dealing with it all with consummate professionalism. As well as the bridal suite, there are 5 more rooms on site for others to stay in, with breakfast provided the next morning. In short: faultless service and the most beautiful venue.

Incredible Wedding Venue - HIGHLY recommend

Now the dust has settled and we are slowly coming out of the wedding bubble and back to normal I just wanted to write a review and say a big thank you to Beccy, Michael and the team for everything they did for our wedding on 17th May.

We had the most wonderful day, the sun was shining and the gardens looked stunning. All of our guests have commented on how amazing the grounds are and how beautiful the venue is.

The venue, the food, the music, it was all just perfect. Harry from crown was so attentive and helpful throughout the day. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We wish we could do it all over again and live the day on repeat.

Thank you and for all prospective brides - go look at this venue! You will not regret it 🩷

An incredible venue made even more special by the wonderful team

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Beccy and the entire team at Chippenham for making our wedding day unforgettable. Special thanks to Michael, George, and everyone else who contributed. The entire day was stunning from start to finish, thanks to the exceptional efforts of everyone at Chippenham. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful venue. Our only regret is not having more time to soak it all in the next morning. You're all doing an amazing job creating such a special experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for facilitating the best day of our lives!

Perfect wedding venue

Chippenham Park is the perfect wedding venue! The grounds are beautiful and the marquee feels new. Beccy and her team were very professional and always available to help with any enquiries which put me at ease, especially when we got close to the wedding date.
My husband and I had an amazing day and our guests were very well looked after. They still talk about the food now! I would highly recommend Chippenham Park to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

You can't beat chippenham park!!

I got married at Chippenham Park on the 25th June and I don't have the words to say how perfect it was. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and you are guaranteed to have the most magical day here. Beccy the wedding coordinator just smashes everything out of the park! She is just brilliant and she's everything you want/need in the lead up to your big day. I honestly can't recommend this venue and everything that comes with it enough. Our day was absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for more! Thank you so much to everyone for making our day utterly magical! Anyone considering getting married here, you will not regret it!

A wonderful ‘Covid’ wedding

Chippenham Park and Beccy the wedding coordinator couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive when we needed to downsize our wedding due to Covid. We ended up with such a special day. They really understood our preference to get married, even if differently to how originally planned, rather than waiting until next year.
The gardens looked beautiful, the rain just about held off, and the ballroom looked stunning filled with flowers and candles for our dinner. The food was also delicious.

Beautiful and perfect indoor wedding!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Chippenham Park on Saturday 26th Oct 2019. We fell in love with the venue from the moment we saw it - the house and gardens are absolutely stunning! Knowing that we wanted to get married in October we were a little worried about the weather not being kind to us and as it turned out the 26th Oct was a rainy day. However, we needn't have worried because the indoor ceremony was absolutely beautiful! Our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was and the team at Chippenham were more than prepared with plenty of brollies on hand for guests walking over to the marquee. Beccy the wedding co-ordinator was absolutely wonderful and had everything in hand and under control. The caterers partnered with Chippenham provided delicious food and the service was next to none. All in all - a wonderful venue with a wonderful team that worked extremely hard to make sure our wedding day was as perfect as it could be. Thank you all so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
