The Perfect Day

We had our day on 29th August 2025, and I think I may run out of compliments for the staff at Rowhill and the venue itself.

First off, Abbie is amazing. I inundated her with emails and questions, but she always responded quickly and nothing was too much. Abbie has a calm and reassuring presence, which honestly was needed on my wedding morning as the rain came down! I can’t say enough good things here, she was fabulous.

Emelia was equally as amazing throughout the run up and on the day, and again just took everything in her stride.

On the day itself we had the lovely Steve who guided us through the day and evening. Again, nothing was too much trouble and everything went so smoothly. All the staff that worked our event were fabulous.

The venue itself is beautiful and the food was scrummy and plentiful. The package we had included a resident DJ and he was fantastic! Everyone was up bopping the night away with a glow stick 🕺🏻

We wish we could do it all again. Thank you Rowhill ❤️

Absolutely Amazing Venue

We had our wedding at Rowhill Grange on 2nd August 2025, and I can honestly say our day went perfectly! The staff at Rowhill were all so friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day, and Emilia/Grace our co-ordinators were brilliant and couldn't be more helpful answering our many questions and sorting out our requests. Everything was made easy to follow when planning our wedding with Rowhill, and everything was beautiful on the day. The food was fantastic, and everyone really enjoyed our day. Would definitely recommend Rowhill as a wedding venue.

Wedding day - 08.08.2025

Our special day was wonderful at Rowhill. Our wedding Co-Ordinator Emilia was amazing from our initial booking stage, throughout the whole planning process and the big day itself. No question was too silly and she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Our food was delicious, the transitions between timings were smooth and the guidance we had throughout was extremely helpful and stress free. An extra little shout out to Moses who also helped on the day as well as all the staff who worked throughout the day too - they were all amazing. I couldn’t thank the team enough for helping with everything coming together, making our day perfect.

Best wedding ever!

We had our beautiful wedding at Rowhill grange on the 21st of June 2025 and I can honestly just say wow. Abbie our wedding coordinator was truly amazing from the start of our journey nearly two years ago up until weeks after the wedding even! She’s been fabulous the whole way through and has put up with my weird and wonderful requests throughout and couldn’t have done more for us. On the day of our wedding Steve and the wedding coordinator team and the rest of the team all looked after us and our guests so well and fulfilled all of my many requests for the day and made it just such a memorable and magical day. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything that Abbie and Steve and the rest of the team did for us during the wedding planning process and on the day, we are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Rowhill Grange and wouldn’t change anything! We loved every second of our beautiful day and thank you so much for the team at Rowhill and Abbie for helping to make our wedding so unforgettable! The food and service on the day was also exceptional. We love you Abbie, thank you for everything!

Wedding at Rowhill Grange – Twilight Wedding, 6th June

We had our Twilight Wedding at Rowhill Grange on Friday, 6th June – and wow, what a day! As a young couple (28 and 30), we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience from start to finish.

The Booking Process

This couldn’t have been easier, all thanks to Emilia! We viewed a few venues in the area, but none of them listened and engaged the way Emilia did. She truly paid attention to what we were looking for, responded with thoughtful suggestions, and offered professional guidance that we ended up following most of the time and made us feel so at ease right from the start.

Contracts & Planning

The contracts and official documentation were crystal clear. We’ve heard horror stories from friends dealing with other venues, but Rowhill’s paperwork was simple, accurate, and left no room for confusion. Everything was clearly explained and easy to understand.

The Build-Up

As you can imagine, we had a million questions – especially with the unpredictable weather forecast! Emilia went above and beyond to support us, answer every query, and calm our nerves. Even when she wasn’t available, her team stepped in and upheld the service we were used to!
We also visited the venue several times before the wedding and every time, Emilia made a point of checking in with us. That kind of personal touch really means a lot.

Flexibility

Rowhill was the most flexible venue we viewed. While other venues were quick to say no to many personal touches or changes, Rowhill gave us freedom and comfort. They even allow you to switch from an outdoor to indoor ceremony on the morning of your wedding if the weather is terrible! You can’t get more accommodating than that!

The Food

The food was absolutely beautiful – both in presentation and taste. We were surprised to see a negative review previously because our experience was the complete opposite.

We ate at the restaurant several times before the wedding, and it was consistently excellent. On the day itself, all 80 of our guests were well fed and happy with the canapés and evening meal.
We also want to highlight how well the kitchen catered for our dietary requirements: one of us is gluten free, and the other is allergic to the allium family (garlic, onion, chive). Everything was handled flawlessly.

The Day & Evening

From the moment the day began, the team made everyone feel welcome and informed. Their calm, confident energy set the tone for the whole day.

We were a little nervous about someone other than Emilia being there for the evening. But Steve, who took over, was fantastic. He managed everything with professionalism, warmth, and incredible control (especially with a lively group!).

Pete, one of the evening team members, was also exceptional and made us feel very comfortable. Both Steve and Pete ensured everything ran smoothly and safely, especially regarding allergies. Thank you both!
A special thank you to Alice and Megan as well – they worked incredibly hard and were so friendly and polite throughout the evening.

The DJ

As a young family that loves to party, John, the resident DJ absolutely blew us away. He kept the dance floor buzzing all night! Reading the crowd perfectly, catering to both our late 20s friends and our guests in their 50s. He truly knew what he was doing and brought great energy to the whole evening in the way he performed and mixed songs. Thank you!

Photography

We went with Natalie Hyland, one of Rowhill’s recommended photographers – and we’re so glad we did. She was brilliant, respected our vision for the style of photos we wanted, and made the whole process seamless.

Chic Weddings

We used Chic Weddings for our flowers, décor, chairs, back drop and beams. They’re very familiar with Rowhill, which made setup smooth and stress free. We highly recommend them! they really took a weight off our shoulders by being so professional and caring!

Overall

Rowhill Grange is a picturesque and elegant venue! But what makes it truly special are the people. The team, the organisation, the care, the flexibility and professionalism, all came together to create a magical day.

Emilia, thank you. We genuinely could not have done this without your incredible support, advice, and kindness. You are amazing, and we’re so grateful that you picked up our initial enquiry… for making our day unforgettable.

The best day

We are so thankful that we found Rowhill Grange and chose them as our wedding venue. From the moment we visited we fell in love. Emilia, our coordinator was excellent throughout and checked in with us frequently and was a star on the day alongside Steve.

Couldn’t recommend this venue enough to any couples local to London and Kent!

Twilight Wedding February 2025

We had our Twilight Wedding at Rowhill Grange on Thursday 20th February 2025. The Clock House venue is a perfect, self-contained function space. Space for ceremony, drinks/bar and reception. The staff at Rowhill are professional, friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything from start to finish was amazing! Great quality food and service.

Special mention to Abbie Perkins, our wedding co-ordinator. We met Abbie a year before our wedding date. From the outset, Abbie was helpful, communicative, friendly and supportive. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we were emailing regularly with questions and the need for advice! Abbie was able to meet us at any point to talk through our important queries, always maintaining an open and friendly approach. On the day, the whole Events team was so helpful. A clear line of communication from Abbie to the banqueting team was seamless. Our banqueting manager on the day, was fantastic (apologies I can't recall her name). She was fun, organised and professional and kept us on track through the whole event, regularly checking in with us and prompting and guiding us. As a couple, we were pretty relaxed about our day, but that was made possible by feeling in very safe hands!

The feedback from our guests has only been positive! All were impressed with the venue, food, decor and event!

The suites and bedrooms at The Clock House were very comfortable with a luxurious decor. The Honeymoon Suite was a real treat! Would highly recommend!

Our dream wedding venue

We got married at Rowhill Grange in March 2024 and it was absolutely perfect, not a single issue or flaw. I highly recommend them for any event, wedding or overnight stay.
We were married on-site, had the wedding breakfast, evening party and overnight stay for us and our families.

From the first meeting the staff were incredible, caring and so organised (especially our wedding co-ordinator Abbie). On the wedding day itself all staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was so friendly and happy.

The food was fantastic, great options for all including vegan & vegetarian guests for all meals we had (wedding breakfast, evening buffet & breakfast the following day).
The resident DJ was excellent, providing the perfect evening entertainment.
The hotel rooms were perfect, all our families were comfortable and commented on how lovely it was.

All of our guests commented on how wonderful it was and a few have since been back to visit the spa and hotel themselves.

Overall it was the dream venue and team combination and cannot praise them all enough.

August wedding

We had the most perfect day at Rowhill Grange. It is a beautiful venue and food was amazing. We also couldn’t fault the staff at all. Everyone from our wedding coordinator Abbie and the rest of the events team, to the bar staff and waiters and our on the day wedding coordinator were honestly amazing. The events team made sure everything ran smoothly and their planning process is so comprehensive that you really feel like nothing could really go wrong on the day. They are such a credit to the venue and we are so grateful for their support throughout the planning. We are really looking forward to spending our first anniversary there and can’t recommend the venue enough:

Wedding of the year!

Trying to find the right words to describe how amazing Rowhill Grange was feels like hard work! I really was blown away with the incredible service from the whole team. Abbie was our wedding coordinator and she really did bend over backwards to help make our day so special (I'm going to miss her!). I really am lost for words .. all I can say is, if you are considering Rowhill Grange as your wedding venue just do it - you will not be disappointed!

An absolutely incredible day!

Where do I begin?!! Our summer wedding was nothing short of magical! Myself and my husband can not express how thankful and grateful we are to the Rowhill staff. We firstly want to give the biggest thank you to Emelia Barrett, our wedding coordinator who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nothing was too much for her and she went above and beyond! You are an absolute credit to Rowhill. The service provided by Rowhill staff on the day of the wedding was absolutely exceptional. Many of our guests commented on their level of service, everyone was well looked after! The food was exceptional, particularly the lamb! Credit to the chef!
A huge thank you to Moses who was brilliant. he was so professional, attentive and made sure the day ran smoothly. DJ was also brilliant! John kept the dance floor full until the very end. What a night! We couldn't have had our wedding at a better venue. The grounds are simply stunning and look so beautiful in photos. We wish we could do the whole day all over again. Thank you again Rowhill for giving us a day that we will never forget!

Perfect May Wedding

We had our wedding at Rowhill Grange in May 2024 and couldn't be happier.

The venue itself is lovely. The grounds are well kept and beautiful! It was easy for our photographer to find spots to take photos.

Becky was our wedding coordinator and was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She reassured us throughout the process and on the day there wasn't anything for us to do or worry about. Her team took care of everything.

The list of suppliers they had was very helpful. We went with Chic Weddings for the flowers/décor, because they knew the venue which was helpful.

The split between the room for the wedding breakfast and bar worked well as it gave guests a break from dancing but it wasn't hard to find people.
----
We knocked one star off responsiveness due to some slow responses but I think that was really just our unrealistic expectations!

Absolutely fantastic service

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at rowhill grange. First of all the Becky Bell and her team were fantastic from start to finish in making sure the whole event flowed smoothly. And even before the event Becky helped us so much in planning and even highlighting things that we hadn't even thought of. We had pa Sri Lankan wedding which has a few cultural aspects and the hotel and staff were very accommodating in allowing us to do these special types of arrangements. The professionalism and friendliness of all staff was 11/10. I have no words to describe how thankful I am to the whole team and more importantly Becky for making our day extra special
