Chippenham Park’s award-winning gardens and parkland, located near Newmarket and Cambridge, offers a multitude of picturesque settings - the perfect backdrop for romantic photos to commemorate your wedding day. From the lakeside views to vibrant flower gardens and historic architecture, every corner of our garden wedding venue provides a stunning backdrop.

We are happy to recommend local photographers who are familiar with the best spots around our Suffolk-Cambridgeshire wedding location, ensuring your special moments are beautifully captured.

THE LAKESIDE MARQUEE

When you’re ready, you’ll head down to our permanent marquee at the edge of the lake. Set within our beautiful wedding reception venue, it comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests for a formal wedding breakfast and 250 guests for an evening reception.

 

Our fully serviced lakeside wedding marquee offers the perfect blend of classic elegance and countryside charm, with its own kitchen, bar, and a spacious deck overlooking the lake, just a short walk from Chippenham Hall. It’s one of the most picturesque garden wedding venues near Cambridge.

YOUR PARTY

With two walls of windows, our garden wedding reception venue offers stunning views across the park and lake.

 

Inside the marquee, you’ll find a dance floor under a starlight ceiling and a permanent bar. Outside, there’s a spacious decking area complete with chairs, tables, and umbrellas, perfect for enjoying the beauty of the Cambridgeshire countryside.

MUSIC

After dinner, we’ll open up the bar and dance floor so your guests can dance the night away under a canopy of stars.

 

One of our preferred DJs will work with you to create your perfect playlist to get everyone, from teenagers to grandparents, on their feet.  Or, if you’d prefer live music, we are happy to recommend some fantastic bands from Cambridge, Newmarket and the surrounding area.

FIREWORKS

On warm evenings, your party can spill out onto the lakeside decking and the fire pit area. 

And if you really want to set your nuptials off to a blazing start, you can choose a fireworks company from our three recommended suppliers in the Cambridge / Newmarket area.

Our versatile spaces allow for a seamless flow from ceremony to reception, with each area offering its own unique charm. 

 

As the sun sets over our beautiful gardens, the lakeside wedding Marquee transforms into a magical space for your evening celebrations. With its starlight ceiling and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, it provides a romantic backdrop for dinner, dancing, and creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
