Wedding Venues in Tunbridge Wells

We had our magical day in June this year, from the moment of our first enquiry/ show around and our big day Salomons have been nothing more than amazing. Nothing was ever to much trouble, with all of our constant emails and questions we never felt like anything was to much trouble. The service on that day was amazing, all of our quests couldn’t believe what an amazing venue is was, the food was incredible and the service on the day from the staff was amazing, everyone was so friendly and professional. The accommodation was brilliant and an amazing breakfast the next morning. This venue has everything you could possibly need and want for your big day. 4 months before the wedding we was given our wedding coordinator Leah, we cannot thank Leah more for everything she done for us, everything ran so smoothly and exactly how we wanted if not better. We really cannot recommend Leah enough, she is so thoughtful, hardworking and just overall lovely and an absolute credit to Salomons estate Amber & Shane x

Even we were surprised by JUST how smoothly everything went at our wedding. We felt so supported from the moment we started speaking to The Spa Hotel right until the day we left after our wedding - they were SO on it and absolutely faultless. Their attention to detail was second to none, they were super flexible on everything, incredibly organised, reliable and responsive. This removed a lot of stress from our part, as we knew we were in such safe hands. Over the days of the wedding itself, the staff were present for us the entire time and they always had a smile, ready to offer solutions and answers. At the same time, they struck a perfect balance of not being too invasive and letting us enjoy our day. When originally looking at venues, we’d been hesitating between The Spa Hotel and venues which were much more ‘do it yourself’, but our decision to go with The Spa Hotel was so validated. They really removed a huge burden from us, and it was so special to have all our guests stay with us at the venue too. It was also really practical for people to get there from London. The hotel even let us have a breakfast event the next morning to spend more time with our guests, and overall I’d say the price was very fair compared to other venues. Last thing to mention is that The Spa Hotel’s wet weather option is really good. As it rained on the day, we ended up doing the ceremony inside so I’m so grateful the room there was so beautiful, even if we’d originally been hoping to do the ceremony outside. In short, if you’re hesitating then go for The Spa Hotel! Would highly recommend.

Sophia and the wider team were fantastic from the beginning. We wanted to have Caribbean food in the evening provided by an external caterer. All other hotels in Tunbridge Wells turned the request down flat but Sophia listened and after discussions agreed to our request. She worked like a trojan on the day. Was very unflappable and this made me relax, knowing everything was under control. The food was delicious and plentiful, the Lombard Room was so pretty and just the right size for us. All the hotel staff were cheerful, kind, polite and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend holding your celebration here.

We had an amazing wedding! The venue allowed us to be flexible with our requirements. We had so many lovely comments about the venue, hotel and food. Service and staff were amazing. The day went to plan and was perfect in every way. Our wedding meal was lovely. The function room looked beautiful. Our room, junior suite was spacious and really enjoyed the 3 nights we was there. Thank you to Karen and all the staff for making our day so special!!

The Barn couldn’t have been more perfect for our wedding - Philippe and Janet were amazing hosts and took all the stress out of organising a special day. All the staff were amazing on the day - nothing was too much trouble and they were so so hard working - probably the best customer service we’ve ever experienced in the food industry. The food was out of this world - beautiful choice of menus, huge portions of perfectly cooked food which our guests haven’t stopped raving about since. It was a perfect venue for our special day - we had the most amazing time 💕 Rob and Lou

The Beacon made our wedding day everything that we hoped it would be! The venue is stunning, the views magnificent, the food incredible and the staff wonderful. Having the venue to ourselves for the wedding was perfect. It helped everyone to relax and made the day feel so special. We were both able to get ready on site with our parties, which helped us both feel like we had a special morning. The team were able to navigate everyone around each other in the morning so that bride, groom and guests were able to explore, without colliding too early! Our coordinator, Abi, was incredibly flexible and helpful, making suggestions where we needed them and taking on board our wishes for the day, creating a celebration that truly felt like us. From the very first visit to see the venue, we felt like our ideas and our wedding were valued and that the staff were excited as much as we were. We had multiple meetings with the team, who were happy for us to visit and bring parents for additional visits when needed. The food tasting was amazing and we loved the whole experience, and, on the day, the food was delicious and many of our guests commented on the Beef Wellington. Being able to have some of our guests stay on site with us as part of the package was also ideal and waking up to the venue the next day and having a beautiful breakfast on the terrace, was the perfect end. I'd absolutely recommend the Beacon for wedding and we will no doubt be back for dinner and drinks regularly!

My wife and I wanted a venue that combined unique design, chic rooms and ample space to complement our vision of a glitzy, black tie, dining-focused wedding, and, well, Limekiln absolutely delivered. Limekiln allows the day to progress from room to room, offering each moment a different feel and texture. The ceremony room (Alder) is sleek, minimal and gave the florists the chance to be imaginative. The big windows in both Alder and Poplar provide a cool frame with which to work. The knockout feature is the bar area, with its comfortable seating, fire, and very, very cool cocktail bar (the guests loved the venue, but all said they were blown away by the bar). The Poplar room is the perfect place to dine, and we were both thrilled with how it came together; it looked stunning, particularly under candlelight. The Green Room (where the band played) is a secret, speakeasy kind of room, which is great fun to be in. But the success of the design meant that guests could dance and groove, yet return to the bar, where they could also relax and chat with a cocktail, without being drowned out by the band. As with any fashionable spot, it is the small touches, the attention to detail that forms the feeling of style, and Limekiln is incredibly stylish. But the day was, of course, truly made by the fantastic team at Limekiln. We can, honestly, not speak highly enough of the people, particularly Isla and Jake, who brought the day to life. In the build-up, we felt welcome, in safe-hands, and genuinely special. Communication was excellent every step of the way. Isla and Jake are caring people, and I think this is Limekiln’s real strength. On the day itself, we didn’t want for anything, it all managed with a cool efficiency by Isla. We were just left to enjoy the day itself, without any stress or anxiety. We both say a big thank you! Limekiln, we are both so very happy we spent the big day with you, and we wish we could do it all again. Bravo. No doubt many couples will feel the same way.

What a wonderful experience, Paula and her colleagues could not have made my son's wedding any more memorable. From the moment we met Paula she made us all feel so comfortable and at put us at ease straight away. Paula went out of her way to make sure that we didn't have to worry about anything.

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.
