All quotes are legitimate from a combination of guests and couples at Chalk Barn and can be found within our Google Reviews.
1. The Food
Our in-house team are experts in creating delicious and seasonal dishes, using local produce. ‘Special shoutout to their chef who provided a bespoke menu that was better than we could have imagined’ – a wonderful former bride, Beth.
Every guest always remembers the food at a wedding, that is why we put every effort into ensuring your chosen menu is perfect. Don’t just take our word for it, one of our lovely brides Emma said ‘so many of our guests have commented on the fabulous food that was provided and the fantastic views that they got to enjoy’.
Every single menu that we create for our couples is bespoke, tailored to each couples preferences. We do provide example menus as a general guide, but you can throw these aside and design your own menu should you wish!
2. The Views
While we are discussing views, this is perhaps the compliment we get the most often at Chalk Barn. Nigel said it best in his review: ‘The views are absolutely amazing from its elevated position above the Vale of Pewsey’.
We are blessed to be located amongst rolling Wiltshire countryside, surrounded by our very own organic farmland. This backdrop makes for epic photography, creating images you’ll treasure forever. Plus, the views aren’t limited to outdoor activities, with panoramic windows you can enjoy the view no matter the weather.
‘Absolutely beautiful setting for any event. Stunning views in all weather’ – Michelle.
3. The Team
We are passionate about weddings and pride ourselves on offering a standout wedding service. We make a commitment to ensure every single wedding we are lucky enough to host is a beautiful success. Beth kindly wrote, ‘From start to end, the staff including Lincoln and Tracy were absolutely brilliant – ensuring we’d planned everything, times were right, food etc was sorted’. Our team will go above and beyond to help you in planning your dream day, and this will continue throughout the day itself too.
C&T said, ’We were just married at the beautiful Chalk Barn back in November and couldn’t think of a more perfect place to get married. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went! Lincoln, Tracy and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing from start to finish and made the day go so smoothly. From the start both Lincoln and Tracy were so easygoing, professional and organised. Their attention to detail is second to none’.
4. The Drinks
We are very proud to offer a fantastic selection of local ales and organic wines at Chalk Barn, and these have proved to be a hit with our happy couples too. Plus, our bar team will curate a bespoke cocktail menu to suit you, should you prefer. Beth said ‘The cocktails for cocktail hour were excellent – could have had them all night!’.
Our contemporary and comfortable bar area is the perfect gathering place for your guests following your wedding breakfast, and we are able to cater signature drinks throughout your special day. ‘The bar had a huge variety of drinks. One of the welcome drinks was a gin, orange and elderflower cocktail. Sublime’ – Francis.
5. The Space
The spaces available at Chalk Barn are versatile and flexible. Indoors we have our modern and luxurious barn, which has been decorated simply to compliment your chosen decor and colour theme. The barn is large and open, allowing you to set up in a variety of ways, including round or trestle tables. Should you be planning an autumn or winter wedding, the barn is large enough to accommodate your wedding ceremony in front of the panoramic windows.
Outdoors, we have a stunning lawn that is perfect for your reception drinks and relaxing during your evening reception. Our outdoor ceremony structure is a dreamy place to say ‘I do’ surrounded by the spectacular views. Emma says ‘a fantastic venue for our November wedding, spacious and warm, loads of space for the children to enjoy, of which there were over 20+’.
In addition, Jake wrote ‘what a truly beautiful setting and venue for such a special day. We had so many wonderful photo opportunities and it certainly was a venue that wowed our guests’.
6. The Sustainable Ethos
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do – we consider ourselves one of the very best sustainable wedding venues! We are able to generate our own power via roof-mounted solar panels, with water from our own well and underfloor heating/hot water powered by our on-site biomass boiler.
From local produce to our renewable energy, we are taking every step we can to protect the environment. Josh, a Groom at Chalk Barn, was pleased by this and he described our wedding venue as ‘just jaw dropping. Amazing for events of all kinds. The venue is entirely organic and it’s a pleasure to be in’.
7. The Extended Access
Another unique feature of Chalk Barn is that we grant our couples exclusive 48 hour access as standard. This means you can set up the day before your wedding, and collect your decor from our on-site storage unit the next day. You won’t be asked to take down your own wedding decor, or clean up.
It is such a shame to spoil your wedding day with the pressure of having to set up in the morning. Our process ensures you can add your finishing touches the day before and truly relax and be present for your wedding morning. Likewise with the take down, too many couples are anxious about the thought of clearing decorations at midnight, when they should be soaking in their first night as a married couple.This is why we hire our venue out on a 48 hour basis, we want our couples to feel valued and not rushed. Jake agreed, stating in his review, ‘every aspect was just perfect from setting up the day before with the family, to the big day itself’.
