The Pear Tree

The Setting

Steeped in history, The Pear Tree is at once an ode to times past and an ever-evolving verse. The heart of the village of Purton since the 16th-century, this private house can now be the heart of your wedding too.

Married with the existing vineyards, grounds and historic rooms, this Wiltshire wedding venue boasts an enchanting blend of old and new, 10 minutes from Swindon. Even your first step inside is filled with occasion, because the stone threshold was built to match St Paul’s Cathedral’s height above sea level.

The Vibe

Something old and something new, this quaint Wiltshire wedding venue invites you to say ‘I do’.

Steeped in 400 years of history, The Pear Tree will win your heart with its romantically reimagined interiors and purpose-designed Orangery, which promise the perfect marriage of old with new in a quaint Wiltshire village only 10 minutes from Swindon.

Prepare for the day in Cascade, the dressing room, accessed from the wrap-around Atrium staircase – a great spot for group photographs later on. An oasis of calm and a space that exudes luxury on your wedding morning, Cascade is where the butterflies begin.

Make your vows in the light and whimsical Blossom ceremony room, surrounded by flowers and flickering candles and beneath a vaulted canopy of gauzy drapes and glittering chandeliers. Perfect for celebrations of all sizes, invite up to 150 guests to join you.

Newly married, capture a photo at the top of the open-air staircase before descending to the gardens and vineyards. With a church spire, woodland and fields for your view, the terrace creates a picturesque backdrop year-round.

Continue your journey through The Pear Tree’s enchanting patchwork of spaces to the contemporary Orangery. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing garden views, enjoy a gourmet wedding breakfast in chic surrounds, before taking the party to the Bartlett Lounge to dance the night away. A stone’s throw away on the Terrace, the outdoor kitchen will come to life, treating guests to a mouth-watering menu for the evening.

Then finally, once the sky is filled with stars, escape to Moonglow, your Honeymoon Suite, as guests retire to their purpose-designed bedrooms.
