Top 5 Wiltshire wedding venues

As a Wedding photographer in Wiltshire I get to visit different venues every week during wedding season. After relocating from Dorset 3 years ago it ment I got to visit allot

1. Elmore Court (https://www.elmorecourt.com/)

At Elmore Court there is a very rare and strong heritage which dates back to the 13th Century and even before..

Anselm Guise, the present owner, has 750 years of continuous family ownership to keep alive.

Scroll down for a potted journey back in time.

The 20th Century

Elmore was lived in very traditionally for all of the last century. Anselm’s father, Sir James Guise, his Aunt and late Uncle were all born into this way of living and remember being sent for at dinner time in their best clothes. More recently it was a wonderful family home and staff continued to look after the family throughout.

Exclusive hire of The House, Gardens and Gillyflower for a day, a night (with breakfast the following morning) and important things like your choice of Bridal Suite, state of the art Sound and Lights and your own 2/3 bedroom ‘Coach House’ for the night before** as well as lots more, costs between £6,000* and £15,000* depending on the day of the week and time of year.

2. Syrencot (https://syrencot.co.uk/)

Syrencot House is one of six settlements in the parish of Figheldean that is thought to be of Saxon origin

In Britain, the Anglo-Saxon period spans from approximately 410-1066AD. However, not much is known about the history of Syrencot before the 11th century when the manor was held by the Hussey family. In the 14th century, Syrencot had become its own hamlet with the manor house at the centre.

The manor was bought by Thomas Dyke in 1639, descending through the family to William Dyke who owned it in 1781. William Dyke was hailed as ‘the greatest farmer in Wiltshire’ keeping over 5,000 sheep on the grounds of Syrencot!

3. Larmer Tree Gardens (https://larmertree.co.uk/)

Victorian vision, beauty and extravaganceThe origins of the Larmer Tree grounds

General Pitt Rivers first created the Larmer Tree Pleasure Grounds in 1880, shortly after inheriting the Rushmore Estate. Designed as a sanctuary to enlighten, educate and inspire his estate workers and guests, he took great pride in creating a unique space to share with them.
 
Committed to carving out his own path, both in land and in life, General Pitt Rivers was the first in the UK to open his privately owned gardens to the general public. By 1899, the Larmer Tree Pleasure Grounds were welcoming over 44,000 visitors a year.
 
The Singing Theatre was used for plays and poetry recitals, while the field adjoining the gardens was transformed into a racecourse, lawn tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. Evenings saw hanging glass lamps lit with candles – also known as Vauxhall lights – illuminating the gardens for open-air dancing.

Your wedding day at Larmer Tree

Larmer Tree is a truly unique wedding venue. Indoors, outdoors, historic, characterful and room for creative expression. Each wedding secures exclusive use of 11 acres of stunning grounds and buildings.

Moving between spaces – for the ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the evening reception – creates a beautiful rhythm and flow you won’t find anywhere else. There’s no need to wait outside while we turn the tables around, you and your guests will subtly shift to another space for the next phase of your day.
