Browning Bros

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Chalkney Water Meadows. The Browning Brothers team were incredible from start to end. We worked with Fiona and then Holly as our events organizers and we loved them both to pieces. Holly made regular contact with us and both ladies were great at answering any questions we had and working to accomodate any requests we had of the day. Companies always claim to be close-knit families but the team at Browning Brothers truly are in every way. We were able to get the venue on the day before the wedding with ample time to set up. Holly was there to help introduce us to the venue and also to help guide us with the best way to set up. She really got stuck in helping us shift things around and we couldn't be more grateful. The team are just so proactive and responsive. The maintenance crew turned up when a fridge wasn't going cold and the ladies came by to assist with the tents when somebody wanted an extra bed last minute. Anything we needed, the team were there to help or answer. The wedding day ran flawlessly. Holly and the team were busy behind the scenes co-ordinating so everybody always knew where they needed to be. The team were excellent at getting the food and drinks out to the right people at the right time and making sure myself and my husband kept on time. The venue really is one of a kind. There are beautiful lakes and forests that you can walk trails around. The 3 piece giant tipi is an incredible centrepiece. I loved getting married on the pontoon in front of one of those gorgeous lakes. If you are someone that likes the outdoors or wants something very laid-back, boho-chic and just naturally beautiful - this is the venue for you. Every single one of our guests were just raving about how much they loved the location. I love the flexibility the team offered. You can choose your own food vendors and the team have a really long and extensive list of vendors you can pick from, or suggest your own. There are vendors for all sorts of food types and styles. We went for BBQ with Essex Hog Roast and pizza with Danton and Marshall events. We chose to not have set tables and everybody loved just sitting out on the picnic blankets, in the big tipi at the table or under the smaller tipi at the tables or bales there. Our guests said it was the most food and drink they had had at any wedding and they loved being able to do their own thing all day. The venue also have many other partnered vendors they can suggest. We worked with Nichola from Bespoke Celebrant Ceremonies as our celebraant and Matt Wing as our photographer. The Browning Brothers vendor list is just full of amazing and wonderful people. They all really just "got" what we were about and what we wanted from a wedding. We rented out both of the lodges on the venue as well as several of the glamping tents. The bridesmaids got ready in the Water Lily lodge (the bigger one that sleeps 6) and my husband and I stayed for a few days after in the Kingfisher lodge (sleeps 2). Both lodges look out over the big lake and the views are just stunning and unrivalled. The lodges are secluded so you cannot see anybody else and they have their own quiet views onto the lake. We all enjoyed a dip in the hotubs at both lodges. The Kingfisher's lodge also benefits from a sauna. The sauna and the hottub look out over the lake, so we enjoyed sitting in one of them and watching the sun go down together. The lodges are beautifully furnished and really fit the vibe. The team did an amazing job putting them together. At night the uplighters go on dim and it just creates the most cozy and romantic atmosphere, so we could stay in our newlywed bubble for days after the wedding. All ~70 people who came to the wedding would thoroughly recommend Browning Brothers and the Chalkney Water Meadows venue to others for weddings or general events. We couldn't fault a single thing and we are looking forward to returning to the venue each year for a stay in one of the cabins. The venue and all the people assisting will always have a special place in our hearts.

6 years ago we hunted for our perfect wedding venue and we found Chalkney Water meadows online and straight away we had fallen in love. When viewing the venue we just knew that this was the place for us! It was perfect. So beautiful and elegant. We knew no matter what that Chalkney water meadows was perfect for us. After finally booking our day 2 years ago and finally marrying my best friend. I couldn’t have imagined a more amazing day. Just everything was perfect. The venue yes is incredible but what really takes this venue to the next level is the staff!! The bar staff were incredible and so kind! What can I say, Gill…. You are amazing! You are an absolute credit to the Browning Bros team and really worked so hard to give Bethany and I the best day ever!!! Without you it just wouldn’t have been the day it was!! We can’t thank you enough!! We will definitely be seeing you again for another stay in water lily lodge or king fisher. Thank you so much Daniel and Bethany Mr & Mrs Potter

We couldn’t recommend Browning Brothers any higher - we had our wedding at Teybrook Orchard in July 2022. The setting is beautiful, with a lovely woodland area for the ceremony. The staff were all incredibly attentive, friendly and helpful. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was. It’s such a unique place and really made our day feel special. 10 out of 10!!

My husband and I got married at Chalkney Water Meadows in July 2022 and it was the most beautiful and perfect wedding we could have hoped for. The team at Browning Bros, especially the amazing Becky, provided the perfect balance of support without lots of restrictions and requirements. They helped us to create the informal, relaxed, homemade and unique event that we had dreamt of. Thank you so much!

We wanted a relaxed family focused wedding with all our accommodation on site. Chalkney Water Meadows provided a stunning private venue for a whole weekend where family of all ages could relax and enjoy the surroundings. Nothing was too much for the event team and everything ran like clockwork! The lodges by the lake were beautiful, and everyone loved the comfy beds in the bell tents. It was the most perfect day! The photographs were beautiful! A stunning venue for your wedding.

rom our initial enquiry Becky and the team have been incredible. Putting up with our seemingly never ending questions. On the day the whole team worked seamlessly with the suppliers on site to get everything organised and in place - dealing with some challenging weather along the way. No issue was too much trouble and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was.I would 100% recommend Browning Bros. as a wedding venue, or just a venue for any event. The absolute best day!
