Stately Home Wedding Venues in Kent

We booked the Knot now, Knot later package and planned our wedding with Annie and Helen, within six months. The package included a three course meal, 8 rooms with access to leisure facilities, toastmaster, hire of private bar and function room until late, with evening light bite. Both Annie and Helen were amazing from the initial contact through to the day itself, answering all our questions efficiently and put us at ease throughout. Everyone commented on the table service and how delicious the food was, as well as how great it was having Geoff the toastmaster on hand all day. The venue was immaculate and the grounds manicured, truly making it an unforgettable special day! Thank you too all the team at Eastwell Manor.

Lucy and the team at Mount Ephraim are a credit to themselves, very professional, approachable, communication was very good throughout. The staff worked so hard on the day making sure everything went to plan. A big shout out to Dave the bar manager who worked so hard making sure the guests were well catered for. Thank you for all your efforts.

It’s hard to put into words how we feel about Salomons. Not only is it an absolutely breathtaking venue visually, its staff are second to none. We were mesmerised by the stunning grounds and gorgeous ceremony/reception rooms but what really drew us in was how welcoming the staff made us feel from the first meeting. The communication was excellent, keeping us informed of when information and payments were required, which for a type A bride like me is exactly what I love to feel organised! We were allocated Erin as our wedding coordinator and I cannot praise her enough. She made sure the day ran perfectly, was extremely attentive to my husband and I, and just took a weight off our shoulders throughout the day to ensure we enjoyed every moment. In fact, a majority of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I have no doubt that the team at Salomons had a huge part to play in that. My husband and my family felt the Salomons team were the best team we have ever encountered as guests/clients. We could not be more grateful to them and highly recommend them for a wedding venue. Thank you so much for making our special day unforgettable!

An absolute amazing venue, it’s stunning from the moment you pull into the carpark and walk through its doors you are captivated by its beauty. My husband & I had our wedding in August 2025 & the staff were amazing from start to finish they all absolutely worked their socks off. Sydnee & Vicky were a pleasure to work with.Our guests still talk to us about the venue today. We have already recommended this venue to others.

Just wow, we had the most amazing wedding day and we were so thrilled to have it at Chatham Dockyard! The biggest shout out goes to all the staff for always going the extra mile. Chloe was so organised and answered all my questions promptly during the planning stages (booked in February 2022, married October 2023). Lisa and Alison were so helpful during set up day before the wedding and the staff all did a stunning job to keep the day running smoothly. They put their heart and soul into the day, thank you all so much! Our initial plan was to get married on the HMS Gannet, but due to unpredictable weather we got married upstairs in the Sunne room instead. In the end it really worked out so much better as it is such an incredible and intimate space. Both we and our guests were so happy with the commissioners house as a reception venue - the expanse of the ground floor made it so easy for people to find their space if they wanted to party in the ballroom or have a good conversation with relatives in the marquee further away from the music. We had around 90 people for the reception and it never felt crowded. It is such a lovely house and had the most incredible day, thank you!

My (now) husband and I had our intimate wedding in the Pugin room at Aberdeen House yesterday and cannot even begin to describe how perfect this venue is. You do not feel like this is the standard registry office. This beautiful listed building feels like a private, intimate wedding ceremony - decorated beautifully throughout and with gorgeous grounds. All of the registrars and staff members we came across throughout our experience were exceptionally friendly and certainly put our minds at ease. The Kentish ceremony was beautifully presented and we couldn't ask for a more perfect day.

What a beautiful day! A stunning venue. Breath taking. From the moment we arrived to our carriages home we were so well looked after. Lovely staff and superb food. Following the musicians through the courtyard and gardens at sunset was magical. The manor house and gardens are a glorious setting - certainly a day to remember.

What can I say, just WOW! I knew my day would be special but the venue, the team, the food was more than we could have ever imagined. Throughout the whole planning of the wedding the team were on hand to answer all my questions, never a question to big, small or silly. They were always met with kindness and clarity too. The actual day itself was incredible, the team was seamless in setting up the Baron's hall, which was just awe inspiring and the food was next level. I wish I could get married here every year. Thank you to the whole Penshurst Team - especially George and Liz.

Everything about our experience at Goodnestone Park was utterly fantastic. If you’re looking for a venue where you can live out your best Bridgerton fantasies, this is it! Having exclusive use of this beautiful house and gardens, to share with our closest friends and family was wonderful. It felt like we’d escaped to a different reality and no-one wanted to leave. The team who run Goodnestone are excellent, and couldn’t do enough for us and having the Wedding Dolls coordinating the wedding and suppliers was invaluable. Goodnestone gives you everything you can need, but also allows you the freedom to add in your personal touches. I just wish I could live there forever!

Stunning venue with its own beautiful garden, 2 lounges, wood panelled room, 5 double bedrooms & 5 ensuite rooms (+ plenty of hotels close-by for other guests including Leeds Castle rooms). I was able to walk the 10mins across the field to the church and everyone walked back to Battel Hall for our Reception. We were able to use all of the space, indoor and outdoor - which was perfect. Everyone fell in love with the venue and didn't want to leave. We had the best time and would highly recommend.
