Kelly Sent on 02/06/2025The orchard maidstone amazing wedding venue!
We had our wedding day at The Orchard on 23/5/25 and it was PERFECT! The staff were fantastic, especially Katie who was our dedicated wedding planner! She was there for us throughout the planning process! No problem was too big and she really went above and beyond to help us! Thank you so much!
Myself and my bridesmaids got ready in the Oak Lodge which was beautiful, with brunch brought to us consisting of a selection of pastry’s and fruit. A selection of teas , coffee and juice was available too. The perfect setting to relax whilst getting ready for your big day!
We got married outside in the Garden Gazebo, luckily we had the best weather but had it not have been we could have had the wedding under the Water Terrace or in the Wisteria Room.
Hats off to the chef! The food was incredible! We had so many compliments saying it’s the best food they had eaten at a wedding! The staff who served our guests were on point too, every guest on a table received their food at the same time so no one was waiting whilst others started eating! And the food was hot too! We had the BBQ for the evening and again the food was just amazing!
We had their DJ for the evening and again he was brilliant! He played all the songs we liked and was great at reading the room and getting everyone up dancing!
So originally we had the leave in luxury that came with our wedding package, to take us and any special guests back home at the end of the night but we decided to upgrade to include picking up my self and bridesmaids, the groomsmen and taking them to The Orchard in the morning/ midday. I would highly recommend Arrive in Style! Sammy and Gary were fantastic! We didn’t have to lift a finger as Sammy loaded the luxury 7 seater with all our dresses and bits and bobs then unloaded for us when we arrived! Again no problem was too big and they were more than happy to help!
The whole day was just perfect!
We would both like to say a huge Thankyou to everyone for making our day so special!
We will be forever grateful!
So if your looking for the perfect venue for your special day we highly recommend The Orchard and there amazing team, you will not be disappointed!

The most beautiful magical venue 😍
We got married here 3 days ago and all I can say is wow 🤩
From start to finish every single second has been a dream, Katie was our wedding coordinator and she has been amazing, nothing was too much of a task. She made it so easy and went above to make everything a special as possible. The whole team at the orchard were unreal!
Every single thing was perfect the food was amazing the venue was beautiful and the whole day was a literal dream, I wish I could do it all over again.
Thanks again guys I feel so lucky to have been given the day that we had 🩷 -

Jenny Sent on 25/05/2025Beautiful Wedding at a Spectacular Venue
We had an absolutely wonderful wedding day at The Orchard, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue.
We appreciated our wedding coordinator, Amy, who guided us through the entire planning process with such professionalism and care. Her expertise and calm demeanor made every step seamless. Alongside her, Callum was equally attentive, ensuring every detail was just right on the big day.
From start to finish, we took advantage of the venue’s open days, which helped us envision our special day and explore all the wonderful options available. The tasting evening event was an eye-opener, allowing us to experience the exceptional food firsthand the team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, while also being a warm and welcoming part of the celebrations. Their attention to detail and dedication made a real difference to our experience, and we are so grateful for their hard work.
The food was nothing short of sublime—every dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and it was a definite highlight of the day. The venue itself was equally stunning, offering a chic and elegant atmosphere that impressed everyone in attendance. It provided the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we will always cherish the memories made there.
If we had one small critique, it would be the aisle runner, which proved a little difficult for the bridal party to walk on. It could have been pegged down or given a bit more attention to ensure it was more stable and presentable. However, this was just a minor issue in what was otherwise a truly fantastic experience.
Overall, The Orchard delivered an exceptional wedding day for us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a stylish, well-organized, and memorable venue
Many thanks again The Orchard, all the best

Rebecca Sent on 04/05/2025Amazing experience
We booked The Orchard two years ago for our recent wedding this April and from the get go the team were professional and easy going. As an anxious bride I emailed the team quite regularly and I always received a response the same day if not the next morning. The tasting day was a great experience and made us even more excited for our big day and food was delicious our guests were in agreement also. The venue has beautiful spots for photos especially if you get a lovely day and I love that there are choices as to where you can get married. Originally we were going to get married at the gazebo but due to the changing weather we made a last minute decision to get married on the water terrace, this was no issue and The orchard were very flexible. We had a couple of guests drop out last minute but The Orchard allowed us to change people over and replace literally two days before the wedding no issue what so ever. The day flowed so smoothly that even if there was an issue we wouldn’t have known about it and that’s exactly what you want on your special day. We had the best day as did our guests and we can’t thank our coordinator Katie and the team enough!

Absolutely beautiful place to get married
We had our special day on 18/04/25 and we honestly wouldn’t have changed a thing! The level of excellent service we received all throughout the process was just amazing! We had Katie, Callum and Sam to help us throughout the day with any issues we had (which there was none) Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue was. If we was to do our wedding day again we would do it all over with nothing to change. Thank you so much to everyone who works at the orchard for making our wedding day super special!The Orchard's reply:

The team at the Orchard throughout our wedding planning were quick to respond to my thousand queries I had building up to the day! They were very professional, accommodating even being flexible with adding on a couple more guests a few days prior to the wedding. They would always help when/where they could. The feedback from our friends/family was all amazing. The waiting staff, bar staff, the food. Everything was wonderful, what we both wanted for our day. The waiting staff would cater and be very accommodating with requests from our guests throughout the wedding breakfast, bottles of wine were replaced when empty VERY quickly. It was overall an amazing experience and thank you all so much, we would highly recommend the Orchard. Thank you all for our amazing memories 🫶🏻The Orchard's reply:

Katie and the rest of the team made every aspect of our wedding relaxed and stress free from our initial visit to view the venue right through to the day itself.
Nothing was too much trouble and all our questions were answered very quickly which was a great help. The app that they use to help you plan your day makes everything so straightforward with all the details in one place including suppliers, guests and timelines. We especially liked the fact that we could use this to create our table plan, making changes until we were happy with it.
Although we had our ceremony at our local church I decided to use The Oak Lodge to get ready with friends and this was the perfect start to the day.
The team worked with all our suppliers to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day and we can honestly say we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Afterwards our guests commented on what a beautiful venue The Orchard was, how friendly and helpful the staff were and how amazing the food was.
We can’t recommend The Orchard highly enough, they really know how to make sure you and your guests have a day to remember.The Orchard's reply:
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that your wedding day was everything you hoped for and that we could help make the whole experience stress-free for you. It was such a pleasure working with you both.
We’re thrilled that you found Sonas useful and that The Oak Lodge was the perfect spot for you to get ready with your friends. It’s also great to know your guests enjoyed the venue, the food, and the friendly staff!
Your recommendation really means a lot to us. We’re so grateful to have been a part of your special day and wish you both all the best in the future!
Love, The Orchard Team!x -
