The Day Before
Whether you have more of a hands-on approach or a wedding team to help you set up, the barn is yours for the day to decorate, dress, and perfect. The Chalk Team, ever-present, will be there to assist in any way and help coordinate your suppliers ensuring that every last detail is just as you envisioned it.
Your wedding ceremony
Whether you choose to say your vows in the beautiful barn with its panoramic views, or outdoors on the infinity lawn, you will say ‘I do’ with the stunning views of the Wiltshire countryside as the backdrop to your ceremony.
There are also many picturesque churches close by for religious ceremonies and blessings. The characterful small village churches of Rushall, Upavon, and Charlton St. Peter are perfect for intimate ceremonies, and St.John the Baptist church can accommodate much larger gatherings in nearby Pewsey.
Your Wedding Reception
Yours to decorate as you wish, Chalk Barn is the ultimate blank canvas for your wedding celebration.
From a stylish, seated wedding breakfast in the barn with its breath-taking views, to a boho-chic festival style celebration on the lawn, the possibilities are endless.

Your wedding breakfast is one of the most important meals you will ever share with friends and family. Our
dedicated estate kitchen have one passion, and that is to create exquisite food from exquisite ingredients.

From a rustic feast to a refined banquet we are experts in tailoring menus to your tastes and will work with you to curate and create a wedding breakfast as individual as the day itself.
The Celebrations
Dance the night away to a band or DJ, cosy up with a blanket and toast marshmallows over our crackling fire pit, and enjoy a firework display from the lawn. Whatever you decide our expert team will be here to look after you and your guests, crafting cocktails, pouring bubbles, and garnishing gin and tonics all night long while you enjoy every last moment.

Raw emotions, candid moments, epic backdrops and a banging dance floor is my jam.
Matt Fox Photography
I'm a wedding photographer from Wiltshire in the UK – from rustic barn weddings in the Great British countryside, churches, and village halls, I love to capture weddings of every type as my aim is always simple: to create modern, beautiful, and creative images in a documentary style that takes you back to all the love and emotions that were shared between you, your family and friends on your special day.
Dan Watkiss Photography
With over 10 years experience my photography tells your wedding day story creating those perfect memories for you to look back upon for so many years to come. I love capturing the special moments, allowing the day to unfold naturally. Remaining in the background photographing all the details that make your day unique, whilst my calm and friendly nature brings out the best in you and your guests for those all-important portrait shots. Having grown up locally to Chalk Barn, I have an intimate knowledge of the venue and its grounds. It is one of my favourite venues to work at for locations, light and creating stunning wedding images.

McGIvern Photography
Originally from the West Country, we are photography brothers Olli & Harvey. Whilst we mostly take a laid back, reportage approach, what we love more than anything is to get in close and capture the fun and emotion of those moments when people let their guard down, from a friends and family perspective.
Rachel Jane Photography
When it comes to shooting your wedding, my approach and style is fairly laid-back. I like to capture your day as it unfolds, with little direction, which means you can feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. I always find it hard to put a label on myself as a wedding photographer but if I had to describe the way I shoot I would probably say I’m more of a documentary style photographer; I like to capture moments as and when they happen and tell the story of your day naturally.
From bouquets to hanging installations, our florists work alongside the Chalk team to create a unique and personal style for your day.
Hibiscus & Hodge
Hibiscus & Hodge combines bespoke floral design with a highly personalised service. From conception to installation our design work is bold, creative and imaginative.

Even our soft corn tortillas are rolled out fresh.
Alp Mac
There’s a new breed of Macaroni & Cheese on the street food scene. Our time working in the Alps showed us that there is no such thing as too much cheese because of this we use a 4 cheese blend to make our grilled macaroni & cheese. The only thing that tastes better than macaroni cheese is GRILLED macaroni cheese. Served from our vintage food truck we are bound to be an eye catching addition to your big day!
