Beautiful Manor house venue, perfect for a small wedding.

"Just the most beautiful Jacobean Manor House with idyllic manicured gardens that go on and on! We were lucky enough to have an small wedding (50/70) in the main building last May, just renovated with a new room to enjoy, we had stunning weather to fully enjoy the gardens and have canapés and pimms in the rear secret gardens.

The wedding coordinator Astrid is very helpful and very organised, you will be in safe hands. It’s a dry hire venue with a choose of caterers, we used Souperfood from Tunbridge wells and honestly it was the best food any of our guests had ever had at a wedding before. Just stunning place!!"

Personal service which went above and beyond

Astrid was incredibly helpful from day 1 going way above and beyond her duties both in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. The venue was transformed from a school into a beautfiul wedding venue and the gardens looked magnificent. Rain or shine the venue has you covered & so does its team.

Stunning Venue, Incredible Planner, Best day of our lives

Starting with the venue, simply a stunning house, gardens & marquee. The driveway is breathtaking & one of the things that made me fall in love with the venue, envisioning us walking down it in our photos.
The gardens & the walled garden are perfect for ceremonies & drinks reception. We had a marquee which was the perfect place to host our reception with the main house as our backdrop.
The venue is a dry hire venue although you have to choose from a list of approved caterers, all of which are reasonably priced & our caterer tailored our day completely to us, including an unlimited drinks package which suited our day perfectly - they were incredible.
The list of recommended suppliers provided is invaluable.
Moving onto Clare, our planner included when you book Brickwall House (Wedding Box Boutique). She is more organised than you can ever imagine. We planned our wedding though the pandemic and Clare kept us calm and always provided a solution through the toughest times (caterers going into liquidation 4 months before the wedding date, having to change our wedding date 3 weeks before the day because of covid restrictions & her managing to sort us another Saturday date 2 months later than the original). She made the impossible, possible and I truly couldn't have planned our wedding without her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
