Food, fizz and favours – there are a lot of elements to consider when planning your summer wedding in Wiltshire. Here, we bring you some of the very best elegant entertainment ideas to help you add another tick to the list and plan the perfect party for your guests.
Cocktails and Classics
Add a sophisticated touch to your drinks reception with open-air performances. Create a romantic atmosphere with a string quartet or add a sophisticated vibe with jazz musicians.
Fete Favourites
With unrivalled views over the Vale of Pewsey, our infinity lawn is a location you’ll love to spend some time. Set out some garden games, from oversized Jenga to croquet to traditional sack races and invite all your guests to get involved.
Dessert Decadence
Pile the elegant Chalk Barn dresser high with delicious baked treats. Think miniature meringue kisses, couture cake pops, iced biscuits and gourmet cookies – this doughnut bar was very popular!
Luck of the Draw
Choose entertainers who work the room to delight your guests throughout the day. Musicians are a popular choice, but if you want to add a unique twist, why not look to artists as well?
Caricaturists could create speedy sketches in an artistic twist on a photo booth. These make fantastic mementos to remember your summer wedding in Wiltshire by.
Live Cooking
Good food is an art, so why not show off the theatre of its preparation too? Whether a luxury barbecue of Mediterranean-inspired treats, a sizzling hog roast or beer battered fish and chips, hire food trucks or outdoor caterers to cook up a storm in style.
Sommelier Style
You could impress your guests with wine or beer tasting as part of your evening entertainment. Maybe a whisky bar should be your go-to for a traditional country theme. Perhaps you’ll go for a classic and chic champagne tower? And you can’t go wrong with pick and mix cocktails for ultra-chic celebrations, shaken live at the Chalk Barn bar.
Sundowners at Sunset
A summer wedding in Wiltshire timeline typically features a cocktail hour and Champagne toasts, but we think drinks at sunset are another must at Chalk Barn.
Congregate on the terrace warmed by the fire pit as the sky transforms into a haze of orange, pink and blue. Keep your photographer close by for some of the most enchanting photos from your summer wedding in Wiltshire.
