About the venue: Devizes Venues offers wonderful Wiltshire-based venues for a wedding, from the magnificent Town Hall to the 400-seat Corn Exchange that offers exclusive hire with set-up time and bar service included. Claire Ridley, Editor of Your Glos & Wilts Wedding says: The stunningly historical interior of the Town Hall in Devizes exudes a dignified charm that surpasses expectation. From the Adams-style ceiling to the magnificent chandeliers and infinity mirrors, elements of Regency grandeur are present in every room, creating a sense of grace and luxury. The Town Hall suits weddings of any size, offering both large-scale and intimate ceremonies. Built in the 1800s, Devizes Town Hall epitomises Georgian elegance. Designed by the renowned Thomas Baldwin, leading architect of the Georgian City of Bath, the sandstone façade and Palladian style make this building a jewel in the crown of Devizes. Now a Grade II Star Listed building, the Town Hall is a wonderful reminder of a truly romantic architectural style. Ceremonies and receptions take place in the Assembly Room for up to 150 guests for the ceremony and evening reception, and a maximum of 100 loved ones seated for a wedding breakfast. Presented to the highest standard, the Assembly Room has been maintained to reflect Regency grandeur and is the largest of our ceremony Rooms. The Cheese Hall is an alternative ceremony space for a maximum capacity of 60 guests. The Cheese Hall is a beautiful room with a Georgian ambience suitable for smaller weddings, drinks receptions and ceremonies. The Council Chamber offers a maximum ceremony capacity for an intimate 12 people. For something a little bit special, the stately Council Chamber is steeped in history. Surrounded by pictures of the life of Devizes through the generations, this intimate room provides an impressive environment for an intimate ceremony. The Ceres Hall is a popular choice for a wedding breakfast of up to 200 guests seated and this versatile space holds up to 400 people for a large evening reception. It provides a blank canvas to create your dream wedding reception. Named after the Roman God of Harvest, the Ceres Hall is an ideal venue for larger wedding receptions. The Ceres Hall is the largest and most versatile of the rooms seating up to 400 people theatre style and 200 for a sit-down banquet. The area surrounding Devizes Town Hall offers an idyllic snapshot of a rural market town with picturesque cobbled streets leading to the beautiful St John’s Church.
