We've had so many unique weddings because the possibilites are simply endless here - we have very few restrictions! We've seen dogs photo-bombing, incredible firework displays, glamping until sunrise, sparklers and firepits, food trucks, live bands and more. We couldn't pick just one best wedding!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Whether you choose to get married at Chalk Barn or not - we highly recommend opting for a venue where you get access the day before for set up. This is something we offer to all our couples at Chalk Barn as it really helps to ensure your wedding day is completely stress-free. You can relax and get ready without worrying about what your table decor looks like or whether you have enough candles, etc. It can also be really fun to set up with your partner, where many don't do this if they set up on the day of their wedding.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
With the 5000 acres we are surrounded by, we love having our guests arrive by helicopter, or even better, when a couple of our adventurous grooms have skydived in to Chalk too!

Where’s the best photo spot at Chalk Barn?
