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!

Chippenham Park

Chippenham park is most definitely the perfect location for a wedding. The stunning gardens, beautiful house and spectacular marquee really makes it a day to remember! We had our wedding at chippenham park on 21st September 2019, it was the most magical day! We both felt like celebrities due to the way we were looked after, everyone at Chippenham is so caring and wanting you to have a great day. All our guests were constantly complimenting the venue and the whole day. Chippenham park is the most magical place to have a wedding and we can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend this venue, it’s so stunning!

5 stars!

The most beautiful venue I’ve ever seen. We got married by the lake in June and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The staff were amazing, dealt with every query we had promptly throughout the planning process and made sure the day ran so smoothly. We could not have wished for a more perfect day!

Wow

What a fantastic place to get married! From our first visit, we knew it was the venue for us. Beccy, the wedding coordinator, was excellent at quickly answering all of our questions throughout the planning, and ensured that everything ran as planned on the day itself. The caterers for the venue were incredible - we received a lot of compliments both about the food itself and the staff. We were particularly pleased with the corkage deal too. All in all, it is a beautiful place to get married, and I would definitely recommend it.

The most perfect day

We held our wedding at Chippenham Park this August and had some fantastic feedback and comments from all our guests about the day, the venue, the food and everything concerned with our wedding. We cannot thank both Beccy and Becca enough for all their support, advice, help and assistance they gave us over the 12 month period in the lead up to our big day. The day went so smoothly with no mishaps or hitches. From the moment we met Becca last July, we knew Chippenham Park was the place to have for our wedding celebrations and once we met Becky, we knew we were in the right hands to making our big day such a success. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their time at Chippenham Park and thought it was absolutely amazing and such a perfect place to hold our wedding.

As well as their support, I think the success of the day also goes to all the suppliers that we used (who all came from their recommended suppliers contact list) and we think they are very much “the best of the best” and hence why the day went so well and our expectations were surpassed by everyone involved.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Chippenham Park and their team to our family, friends and others as the the place to hold a celebration/event that will be extra special and memorable.
