September 2024 Wedding

The whole Chippenham experience was fabulous! We fell in love from our very first visit. Beccy understood what we were looking for from the very outset and was incredibly patient and helpful in answering the 100s of questions we had. We chose all of our suppliers from Chippenham's recommended list and every single one was incredible. The list took away so much stress of not knowing where to begin, it gave us a starting point and we knew were in good hands. In the lead up to the wedding we were able to visit again to work out where we wanted to set things up and in the days before were able to set up and even drop off my dress which was a huge help. On the day when I was getting a bit stressed about buttonholes Beccy just resolved the situation with no fuss. I also found out that she'd helped my friend set up a surprise wedding canvas for us for our guests to paint which was amazing and my friend said how helpful Beccy had been in the process. We had the most perfect day, we couldn't have asked for better and absolutely loved Chippenham! Thank you Beccy and team for the best day!

THE MOST STUNNING VENUE!

Thank you so much for being so accommodating, warm and supportive whilst helping to plan our special day! We had the most perfect day, which is all down to you and all of the staff at Chippenham and suppliers involved! We are forever grateful to look back on our wedding day with pure happiness and joy! Everyone was so complimentary when talking about the venue and many of our guests said it was the most stunning venue that they had been too (which we definitely agree - couldn't have chosen a more beautiful setting!). We will be back to visit the gardens again in the future and remember our wonderful wedding day with the people we love!

An incredible venue made even more special by the wonderful team

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Beccy and the entire team at Chippenham for making our wedding day unforgettable. Special thanks to Michael, George, and everyone else who contributed. The entire day was stunning from start to finish, thanks to the exceptional efforts of everyone at Chippenham. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful venue. Our only regret is not having more time to soak it all in the next morning. You're all doing an amazing job creating such a special experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for facilitating the best day of our lives!

Perfect wedding!

Beccy was the perfect wedding organiser and Chippenham Park was the most amazing venue we could have asked for! We knew we wanted to get married at Chippenham Park as soon as we saw the venue. The house and grounds are so lovely, the ceremony area by the lake is perfect, and the marquee is ideal for the meal and evening. The staff did an excellent job and really added to the day. You should go for an open day and see for yourself what a fantastic venue it is. Beccy is the wedding organiser with Chippenham Park and she was everything we could have asked for! She was so organised and experienced, keeping on top of the planning and giving us advice and help with what needed doing in the run up to the day. She liaised with all of the vendors a few weeks before the wedding day to make sure that everything was organised and would run as clockwork on the day, and also met with us to go through the plans for the day. Our wedding day went perfectly and so much of that was due to Beccy. She knew who to organise and when, and was on top of everything throughout the day. She worked so hard and everything ran so smoothly. As well as being so professional and excellent at her job, Beccy is also a super lovely person. It was a pleasure to work with her and I couldn't recommend her more!
