YOUR VERY OWN COUNTRY ESTATE
At Chafford Park, we enable you to create your perfect midweek or weekend wedding, with two beautiful wedding barns, the Hop Barn for your ceremony which is fully licensed for marriages and the Granary Barn for your reception.
CEREMONIES
However you choose to get married, Chafford Park can accommodate you. We have a variety of spaces for you to choose from to have the ceremony you have always dreamed of.
The Hop Barn provides a chapel-like ambience and is fully licensed for your wedding ceremony. Its grand high walls and intimate seating arrangement create a magical setting for you and your guests. The barn is tall and very light with a modern style. Equipped with chairs and furniture for your ceremony, featuring bespoke beautiful mirrors and hand-made antler chandeliers.
Our ancient woodland is for nature lovers. An intimate space for sixty guests situated in a small clearing surrounded by tall trees and bluebells in spring. Likened to an amphitheatre, it is the most beautiful setting for you and your closest family and friends. In order to arrive at the ceremony here, you will make your way down through our meadow field and over the wooden bridge.
For larger ceremonies, we have an area in our meadow field situated under a large beautiful oak tree. Here, you can create a larger seated ceremony area with beautiful wildflowers surrounding you just a short walk from the barns.
If you wish to get married in a local church, you may use the Hop Barn for your welcome drinks and canapes.
RECEPTION
The Granary Barn is a beautiful, large barn decorated with shimmering fairy lights to give your wedding the most romantic ambience. The copper bar brings elegance and charm to the room with glowing amber Palermo chandeliers.
The Granary Barn is designed to dazzle your guests from dawn until dusk! Featuring a state-of-the-art Zone Array speaker system, for the most memorable evening entertainment. The space is fully equipped with large round tables and French-style cross-back chairs, ready for you to add the finishing touch!

Reviews for Chafford Park
J&N'23 at Chafford Park
As we both work in events we loved having the bell tents as the backdrop for our friends to stay in and having the fire pits and festoon at night time gave the outside area a real festival feel.
It was also a big plus that we could stay on site for two nights - we legally got married on the Friday with a small group of family and friends and then cooked a big meal in the house that night.
Alicia and Sarah were helpful and prompt with any queries in the lead up and we’re very grateful to Charlotte who made sure everything ran smoothly for us on the day itself too.
We hope to return one day for a glamping weekend and to reminisce.
Hostile, uncompromising and disrespectful
On our first visit before booking, we loved what the venue offered and how beautiful it was. Sarah the owner was pleasant and kind and we consequently booked a week later.
However after booking, there followed 12 months of terrible communication, pulling back on previous promises made and generally being very uncompromising with our plans.
We didn’t feel Sarah or her daughter Alicia were on our side at any point and felt that they were more concerned about keeping their venue pristine than helping people have a beautiful wedding.
We had such a magical wedding day, despite them. Our guests and vendors contributed to an incredible day and I didn’t feel stressed at all. But behind the scenes, our catering staff and wedding coordinator were having to deal with so much hostility from the managers. They came in, in the middle of service to tell the staff that the kitchen area was too messy!! So incredibly rude and completely unprofessional. And this was only one incident amongst many that I heard post wedding where they were rude and disrespectful towards vendors and guests alike.
You are also obliged to partner with Wild Box to serve the drinks when you book this venue - they work closely with Chafford Park so essentially are almost as hostile. There are many things that you can’t do - put up your own decorations, bring your own alcohol or have a campfire past midnight. We luckily found our way around all of this but they made the whole thing so difficult and uncomfortable.
I would encourage anyone to not be lured in by the beautiful surroundings and look elsewhere if you want a more friendly and compromising service.
The perfect full-weekend wedding venue!
Alicia and Sarah were so helpful, making sure everything was just as we wanted it and that the day ran smoothly. We couldn’t have pictured a more perfect place for our wedding and can’t wait to return for some more glamping in the years to come!
Amazing experience!
A wedding day of our dreams
I loved the ability to chose our own caterers - I was able to bring in my African heritage by choosing an African caterer and it really made the day feel unique and special to us.
The sound system is unusual but once you are underneath it, it is great. We worked with a recommend DJ and saxophonist from Mint DJs who were really great and got the party started.
The added touch of having rooms on site for the family really made it easier. We were able to have a lovely family dinner the night before and able to enjoy the farm for the full three days.
Really was our dream day and we are so grateful.
Unique, personal, family run stunning venue
