Description

Bake Barn is a stunning threshing barn, sympathetically converted into one of Wiltshire’s premier wedding venues. With exposed roof timbers, stone walls, wooden floor, feature fire place and large arching glazed windows front and back framing the view onto the surrounding countryside. There is a professional catering kitchen with rear entrance for supplier deliveries. The separate lobby-entrance for guests has a cloakroom area, disabled, ladies and gents loos and stairs leading to the first floor. The spacious first floor room with metal beams and double-height ceiling, has a stylish, industrial, loft-style feel. There's a kitchenette, loo and second lobby leading to the rear of the barn. In front of the barn is an attractive, enclosed courtyard with a lawn, on which a sizable marquee can be placed if needed. On the opposite side of the courtyard is the party barn, an open-fronted stone building with far-reaching views. Split into two halves; the first with an entrance from the parking area lends it’s self as a good location for a bar, the second houses overhead heaters and a huge fire bowl, ideal as a chill-out area. The whole venue is licensed for civil ceremonies, including the courtyard, Loggia, first floor room and main barn, allowing you total flexibility to say 'I do' wherever you want.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

We had a couple who wanted everything outside: ceremony, dinner, even all the cooking. The barn itself was the perfect backdrop because it's so pretty and practical. It was a very laid back, outdoorsy wedding and perfectly reflected the couple.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Start early, give yourself a lot of time to speak to suppliers and find those you 'click' with.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Table plans where you reveal information for the other guests at the table - "Tom makes a mean chilli but won't walk in the rain" - such a great icebreaker and shows you know your friends and family well.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Country, private, spacious, relaxed, outdoors.

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

There are so many fantastic photo locations; the lakeside urns, the white bridge, the casting platforms on the lake, but the grandest of all is the huge Fonthill Arch, which is just perfect for portrait shots.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

Yes lots, but we have to be discreet!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Fish is always a winner, you can't beat smoked salmon.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

A glass of champagne and a cheese cake buffet.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

It's yours for four and a half days, we don't know any other venue that you have access to for so long. It's private and you really can make it yours, you'll feel as if it's home from home by the time you have to leave.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Offering three fantastic venues on a private estate, with a lovely team who pull together to ensure your big day is really special.
