The Persimmon Room or the Wessex Room
Wiltshire Council's fees for 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 list the Persimmon Room at 4 Timber Street in Chippenham for 6 guests, Wednesdays only, limited availability, at £250. The Wessex Room at the same address is in the 60 to 70 guest band: £425 Monday to Wednesday, £525 Thursday or Friday, and £600 on Saturday. The £75 reservation fee is charged for every ceremony type and is not part of the ceremony fee. Ceremony fees are due in full at least three months before the date.
The photographer needs the room name, not just the street, because six guests and a room for 60 to 70 are different pictures. Send the start time and whether you will be outside Timber Street afterwards. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. The Wessex Room needs the hours you want for a larger group.
The two-witness fee is listed in Trowbridge
The statutory two-witness ceremony at £62 is printed against County Hall in Trowbridge, not against this address, so do not assume that short slot is on Timber Street. If you have chosen an approved venue instead, Monday to Wednesday is £625, and there are no ceremonies on Christmas Day. If the meal is away from 4 Timber Street, send that second address and ask for the travel to be in the quote.
How many hours fit the Persimmon Room on a Wednesday?
It holds 6 guests, Wednesdays only, limited availability, at £250 from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, plus a few pictures outside Timber Street. Say if you want more than the door.
What should we say about the Wessex Room?
It is grouped with rooms for 60 to 70 guests. Monday to Wednesday is £425, Thursday or Friday is £525, and Saturday is £600. Name the Wessex Room so the photographer plans for that group, and say how long you want them outside afterwards.
Does the £75 reservation fee change the photography price?
No. It is a separate council charge, and it does not form part of the ceremony fee. The photographer needs the room and the hours. Their price is separate. The ceremony fee itself is due in full at least three months before the date.
Can we book the £62 two-witness ceremony on Timber Street?
It is not listed at this address. That weekday ceremony is at County Hall in Trowbridge. If that is what you have booked, the photographer should go there, not to 4 Timber Street. Say which building is on the confirmation.
