Situated at the Suffolk-Cambridge border near Ely, Chippenham Park is a one-of-a-kind, Grade-II listed house and wedding venue with 300 acres of parkland. It’s easily accessible from Newmarket, Norwich, Ipswich, and Bury St Edmunds, but secluded enough to ensure a peaceful quality that will make your special day truly memorable. Chippenham Park has an award-winning track record of delivering idyllic countryside weddings to hundreds of happy couples.
Weddings take a lot of organisation, but the Chippenham team has an army of professional wedding planners determined to take care of it all for you. That includes not only food and decoration but flowers and music, too. The team’s dedication doesn’t stop there. They will be on hand all day from morning to night to ensure everything from the bar to the band to the taxis home go off without a hitch.
If you’re looking to have your ceremony on site, there are plenty of locations to choose from. You could tie the knot at the Lake Summerhouse surrounded by trees and flowers, or walk down the aisle to The Octagon gazebo in the seclusion of an encircling yew hedge. Or, walk down the aisle to the sound of the grand piano to make your vows in The Old Ballroom. If you’re looking for a Christian ceremony, the 13th-century St Margaret’s church is nearby.
The reception too can be hosted in various locations throughout the grounds. You can make your way to the rose terrace for drinks, canapes, and post-nuptial photos, or spread the festivities throughout the extensive gardens and set up at the permanent marquee with up to 200 loved ones for a sit-down meal, followed by dancing under a star-studded ceiling. Established relationships with local caterers mean all menus can be catered to your tastes.
