Secluded and scenic, the 18th century Chippenham Park holds a high reputation for its hospitality. Its easy accessibility, but rural location, offers a magic atmosphere, providing an ideal venue for those special nuptials.
Exclusive use of the stunning house will be yours, celebrating in elegant rooms. The sweeping gardens that surround the estate will set the scene for those all-important wedding photographs.
The privately owned Grade-II listed estate boasts 300 acres of parkland. Cleared to build by King William III in the 1690s, a long avenue of lime trees, were planted to represent his infamous victory from the French. Indeed, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge have stayed within the grounds.

After you've popped the fizz and distributed the canapes, you can head towards the marquee by the edge of the lake. Here there is a dedicated dance floor with sparking ceiling, as well as an established bar. On balmy summer evenings, you can roam out onto the decking area, also fitted with tables and chairs. Then after dinner, take to the star-lit dance floor and allow the resident DJ to throw out the tunes that'll have all your guests on their feet.

If you favour a traditional church wedding, but still are drawn by the majesty of Chippenham, you may arrange to wed in the beautiful St Margaret's Church. Just a short walk from the estate, the 13th century parish lies in the picturesque village of Chippenham. Although, you will need a connection to one of three local churches in order to secure this particular site.
