Discovering your dream Witshire wedding venue carries huge significance and is an incredibly important decision. After all, it’s a location that will hold a special place in your heart for a lifetime! Sometimes, it can be tricky to navigate your way around all your potential options before your chosen date is taken.
Here at Chalk Barn, we know how gorgeous our barn wedding venue is, but for those who would like a virtual tour, you’ve come to the right place! Take a read to explore the charming details of our stunning Wiltshire wedding venue.
The exciting drive up to the Wiltshire wedding barn venue
That first drive up to our Wiltshire wedding venue will be in your memories forever. We always receive comments from our couples about this drive!
Firstly, the winding, long road builds anticipation with every turn as you finally make that trip to meet the love of your life at the altar. You’re constantly surrounded by idyllic scenic views, including the rolling hills of Wiltshire that we speak of lots – and for good reason!
As you draw closer to the venue, the eco-friendly timber cladding first meets the eye, before you widen your gaze to the view surrounding the venue. You’ll also see the arbour as you drive up – the perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony, if that’s something that you’ve been dreaming of!
On the day itself, you’ll also get a glimpse of your friends and family who are mingling in and around our venue.
The grand wedding entrance
The moment you step foot in our barn wedding venue, you’ll immediately notice the luxury bar; a snug nook with expansive views of the outdoor scenery.
The bar itself is romantically lit with hanging pendant lights, creating the perfect contemporary yet vintage hue, setting the tone for the rest of the venue. Pairing a muted green and divine terracotta, the bar stands as the ideal space for your guests to enjoy a drink. Of course, the bar is stocked with personally selected local ales and organic wines, ensuring the needs and desires of all your guests are expertly catered to.
Our favourite chapter: the barn
If you ask the guests of Chalk Barn, they’ll say the main barn is utterly breathtaking, and we wholeheartedly agree.
The timber cladded roof and vaulted ceilings exude an immaculate charm, allowing for a contemporary feel to the space. The barn itself was purposefully designed to be a blank canvas with neutral undertones so you can style your wedding exactly how you desire for your wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast and beyond. Think dreamy table plans, floral tablescapes, romantic candles and cascading ceiling drapes to set the scene for your dreamy wedding.
The hanging pendant lights allow for a seamless flow from the bar through to the barn, with the continuation of sweeping windows to bring the outdoors indoors. We love witnessing how each united husband and wife choose to style the barn and infuse their own personality into their wedding day. No two weddings are the same, yet they are all undeniably beautiful.
The barn was also designed to blend seamlessly into the outdoors – with the surrounding organic farmland at the core of our story.
More than a touch of nature
The part you can’t buy elsewhere: our breathtaking views.
The lawn at Chalk Barn oversees the extensive hills of Wiltshire and when we say you’re immersed in nature at Chalk, we truly mean it. For those who have always dreamed of an outdoor ceremony, the arbour creates an enchanting setting to tie the knot, witnessed by your nearest and dearest, among nature. Perfect for the outdoorsy couple who love to explore.
For those with the British weather on their side (which, surprisingly, is often at Chalk Barn), the lawn offers a welcoming space to extend the celebrations outdoors. Adorned with outdoor furniture, your guests can mingle and enjoy daytime lawn games to get the party going. The grounds also create the perfect backdrop for evening food, fireworks, sparklers, and more, all under the stars.
The upstairs gallery
Our upstairs gallery presents a versatile space that can elevate your wedding venue experience in a myriad of ways. Positioned above the barn, it overlooks the contemporary barn wedding venue below.
Whether you choose to use it to get ready on the morning of the wedding, an evening retreat for a quiet sit down for guests as the party gets a little more lively, or even a dedicated place for children to be away from the loud music while still being supervised, the decision rests entirely with you.
A place to stay: the wedding accommodation
At Chalk Barn, we think accommodation is crucial to ensure no one’s celebrations are cut short by travelling.
That’s why we have a variety of accommodation options, all within a 3 minute drive of the venue, with the exception of our on-site glamping (don’t worry, it’s discreetly tucked away so as to not hinder any of your impressive wedding views).
The Hide – our newlywed accommodation – is secluded with breathtaking views overlooking a lake, meaning privacy isn’t a question as you head into married life together.
For your guests, Brambledown Cottage, situated in Rushall, provides the perfect place to rest a large group for the night. Catering for up to 10 guests with 5 double bedrooms, the open plan living, kitchen and dining space allow them to socialise and reside for one or two nights, extending the wedding celebrations and offering a true retreat.
