Everything you need to know about weddings in Wiltshire

Wiltshire is a treasure trove of venues perfect for smaller, more personal celebrations. The county's blend of historic charm and natural beauty provides an idyllic backdrop for saying 'I do' surrounded by your nearest and dearest.

Popular small venue types include:

  • Manor Houses & Country Homes
  • Rustic Barns & Farms
  • Boutique Hotels & Restaurants
  • Historic Inns & Pubs

Choosing an intimate venue allows for a more relaxed atmosphere and greater focus on personal touches. Many Wiltshire venues offer exclusive-use packages for smaller guest lists, ensuring privacy and a truly bespoke experience.

You can often work more closely with suppliers to craft a unique menu, decor, and entertainment that reflects your story as a couple.

The cost of an intimate wedding venue in Wiltshire can vary. Couples might expect to spend between £4,000 and £10,000 for venue hire and catering for a guest list under 60.

Key cost factors include:

  • Time of year (peak vs. off-season)
  • Day of the week (weekend vs. weekday)
  • Catering choices and style
  • Exclusive use vs. partial hire

Here are a few ways to manage your budget for a smaller wedding:

  • Weekday Weddings: Many venues offer considerable discounts for Monday-Thursday weddings.
  • Off-Season Dates: Consider dates outside of the popular May-September period for better rates.
  • All-Inclusive Packages: These can offer great value and simplify planning for intimate gatherings.

Wiltshire's landscape is stunning year-round, offering a unique mood for every season.

  • Spring: Think blooming gardens at a country house and fresh, vibrant colours. Perfect for outdoor photos amongst the wildflowers.
  • Summer: Ideal for utilising outdoor spaces, like walled gardens or terraces, for drinks receptions and ceremonies. Long, light evenings are a bonus.
  • Autumn: Imagine rich, warm colours across the countryside. Cosy barn venues with open fires become incredibly inviting and atmospheric.
  • Winter: A magical time for a wedding in a historic manor or inn. Think candlelit ceremonies, festive decorations, and a truly romantic feel.

Each season provides a distinct and beautiful canvas for your celebration.

Wiltshire is well-connected, making it accessible for your guests.

By Road: The M4 motorway runs through the north of the county, providing easy access from London and Bristol. A-roads connect the main towns like Salisbury and Swindon.

By Rail: Mainline train services run from London Paddington and London Waterloo to major towns, from which taxis can reach more rural venues.

With a smaller guest list, finding accommodation is often simpler. Many intimate venues in Wiltshire offer a selection of on-site rooms for the wedding party.

For other guests, the county has a wide range of options:

  • Charming B&Bs
  • Country pubs with rooms
  • Boutique hotels in market towns
  • Self-catering cottages
FAQ's

What is considered a 'small' or 'intimate' wedding in Wiltshire?

Generally, an intimate wedding caters for fewer than 60 guests. Many dedicated small wedding venues in Wiltshire are perfect for celebrations of 20-50 people, allowing for a more personal and relaxed atmosphere with your closest friends and family.

Are there any unique types of intimate wedding venues in Wiltshire?

Absolutely. Beyond traditional manor houses and barns, Wiltshire offers unique options like historic coaching inns with private dining rooms, secluded woodland venues for outdoor ceremonies, and elegant town-centre registry offices for a chic, minimalist celebration.

Can I get married legally in any venue in Wiltshire?

For a legally binding ceremony, the venue must hold a civil ceremony licence. Most dedicated wedding venues will have this. If you choose an unlicensed venue, like a private garden, you can have a celebratory ceremony there after completing the legal formalities at a registry office.

Do small wedding venues in Wiltshire offer 'exclusive use'?

Yes, many venues that specialise in smaller weddings offer exclusive use as a key feature. This means you and your guests will have the entire property to yourselves for the duration of your celebration, ensuring complete privacy and a truly bespoke experience.

What's the best way to travel between venues and accommodation in rural Wiltshire?

While Wiltshire has good train links to its main towns, rural venues are best accessed by car. For your guests' convenience, consider arranging a minibus or recommending pre-booked local taxi services, especially if your chosen venue is in a more secluded countryside location.

Is a weekday wedding a good option for an intimate celebration in Wiltshire?

A weekday wedding is an excellent choice. Not only can it be more budget-friendly, but you may also find better availability at sought-after venues and with key suppliers. With a smaller guest list, it's often easier for your closest guests to arrange time off for a mid-week celebration.
