Our NYE dream
It’s taken me a while to write this review because it’s hard to put into words how magical my experience with Chilston Park has been. We originally came to Chilston on a whim knowing they had a wedding fair on. The drive up to the hotel is stunning, we were then greeted by Jane, the loveliest and most helpful bundle of joy, Jane became our wedding co ordinator and held my hand every step of the way, we went to every wedding fair from booking last February until our wedding day New Year’s Eve just gone and every time the staff made us feel like family that was visiting. On our day, unfortunately, Jane couldn’t be there but I knew the whole wedding team by then and had no worries that the day would go swimmingly with the amazing Ella, nothing was too much, nothing was answered with no and potential issues were resolved by the time I heard about them. Ella went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. Matt, another wonderful human who made it his business to make sure all guests were fed and watered, completed tasks that arose with the biggest smile and again nothing was too much to ask. Multiple guests commented on the efficiency of the staff and great attitudes. We have since been to a sister hotel of Chilston and it really goes to show that everyone can have the same training but the staff truly make a hotel, Chilston is second to none. The venue speaks for itself but these words are for the team because everyone bounced into work, got excited to see us and made us feel like royalty. Paul is clearly a great manager to his team, an absolute asset to Handpicked hotels and a lovely smiley face who even came in on his day off and wished us well. If you’re reading this and looking for a venue, book it, you won’t regret it! We had exclusive use which was great value for money for what it included.

A truly wonderful day
We couldn't have asked for more with our wedding at Chilston Park. From the initial booking to the details meeting and then finally the wedding day, everything was pretty much seamless. The wedding day itself went like clockwork and the staff worked so hard to make sure that everything was in place and everyone was in the right place at the right time! All of our guests loved the setting, the food and thought the staff were wonderful.

Kent’s best wedding venue without doubt!
We viewed lots of potential wedding venues but from the moment we arrived at Chilston Park we just knew it was the place we wanted to hold our wedding. Chloe Rees guided us through the different room options of where we could hold our wedding ceremony as well as have our reception, no question went unanswered and the hotel was very accommodating in helping us deliver our two day dream wedding. Chloe, Paul The Manager and all the staff were fantastic from the start and on the wedding day. Chef, Ali delivered exquisite food for us and our guests, with friends and family still praising it months after. We have been back a few times for afternoon tea and evening meals with all the staff greeting us with such warmth. We have no hesitation in recommending the Chilston Park wedding team and this stunning country setting.We viewed lots of potential wedding venues but from the moment we arrived at Chilston Park we just knew it was the place we wanted to hold our wedding.

Mr & Mrs Yeoman
Olly and I just wanted to extend our thanks to everyone at Chilton Park for making our wedding on Friday 7th of March 2025 it was so incredible.
Sophie was the first person we spoke to and she made the booking process seamless. She was so helpful in ensuring everything was arranged before her holiday and we are incredibly grateful for her.
The day before the wedding, I had the pleasure of meeting Ella and Ellie, who went above and beyond to assist us. They were both attending our wedding and were genuinely amazing. Ella made our day so special—she took care of everything from cutting the cake to moving things around, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was truly outstanding. Ellie, working behind the bar, was equally fantastic, always with a smile on her face and everyone absolutely adored her.
We can’t thank them enough for making our day unforgettable. Even the morning after the wedding, when we came down for breakfast, Ella was there to greet us with a big smile and get everything ready for us.
Olly and I are already looking forward to returning to Chilton Park when our little one arrives. What a wonderful way to start March!
Thank you again to everyone at Chilton Park, and we hope to see you all again soon.
Best wishes,
The Yeomans!

All around perfection!
We got married at Chilston Park in August, and it was nothing short of perfection. We opted for the exclusive use package, which catered to every need. Most of our guest list were international guests, and being able to host everyone comfortably under one roof for the full weekend was incredible. From the food to the helpful staff and gorgeous grounds, I highly recommend choosing Chilston Park for your wedding if you are looking for English elegance. Thank you to the full team who made our dream wedding weekend possible! Big shout out to Sophie for helping us plan for over a year and a half!We got married at Chilston Park in August, and it was nothing short of perfection.

Our perfect little day!
We honestly couldn't have wished for any more.
The professionalism and attention to detail was immaculate.
Even though we were a small wedding we were never made to feel less than anyone else.We honestly couldn't have wished for any more.

Our Wedding Experience
We have just had our special day, and all I can say is from the moment we looked around to the day after the wedding we was well looked after, we had a designated person to speak about our wedding and all our needs were met with no questions asked. The venue and the grounds are stunning, the bedrooms are beautiful and our day was so perfect, I couldn’t fault anything. I just wish we could do it all over again. I would highly recommend Chilston Park as a wedding venue.We have just had our special day, and all I can say is from the moment we looked around to the day after the wedding we was well looked after, we had a designated person to speak about our wedding and all our needs were met with no questions asked.

Best day of our lives
If you are considering Chilston Park Hotel for your wedding venue let me put your mind at ease.
We got married in Chilston park hotel on the 14th January 2024 and it was the best day of our lives. All our guests are still messaging and calling us telling us what a fantastic time they had, how beautiful the ceremony and the venue are, how through the day they were never hungry and that the food really was amazing.
Although the venue may be second to none it was the staff for me who really make this venue special, the attention to detail is exceptional. From the moment we attended the venue for an open day Jane our event organiser was amazing, Jane always made time to speak to us and communication was always very prompt and very accommodating where she could be. Jane really made the whole process very easy and stress free even with only having a year to plan it all.
On the day of the wedding the team at the venue were nothing short of exceptional. Matt was our point of contact on the day I approached Matt early that morning with a few tasks and like a mind reader had assured me everything had already been taken care of. The day ran faultlessly, it became clear from the beginning of the day that the staff have it down to a fine art which allowed us to just enjoy the day.
I cannot commend or recommend this venue highly enough, thank you again to Jane and Matt and all the staff at Chilston Park Hotel for the day of our lives.If you are considering Chilston Park Hotel for your wedding venue let me put your mind at ease.
