INSPIRATION
THE LOST VILLAGE OF DODE Located in an almost forgotten valley between Luddesdown and Holly Hill stood a 900 year old Norman church , which has now been lovingly restored and offers a gorgeous intimate setting for weddings . With space for just 40 guests , this is cosy at its best , featuring flickering torches , carved oak wooden benches and warming rugs on which guests sit during the ceremony , all followed by a Medieval wedding breakfast .
83 MORTIMER Once a classic period property in Herne Bay , 83 Mortimer is now a luxury holiday let and stylish bespoke wedding space where couples can host small ceremonies and celebrations in a homely setting .
With options including marrying with up to 10 guests or up to 30 of your friends and family , this venue is ideal for couples looking for something classic yet contemporary in an intimate setting .
CHIDDINGSTONE CASTLE While a castle wedding venue might have you envisioning great hall banquets and hundreds of guests , Chiddingstone Castle provides all the captivation of an historic landmark but with a decidedly personal feel .
With the option to have fewer than 50 guests attend your nuptials , you can enjoy all of the splendour of the building and its grandeur , while keeping your celebrations cosy .
THE BARN Winner of Boutique Wedding Venue of the Year in the Kent Wedding Awards , The Barn in Tunbridge Wells offers an intimate and exclusive space where couples and up to 50 guests can celebrate on their big day .
Rebuilt from a centuries old Elizabethan barn , the venue sits in the heart of the spa town and boasts oak beams , a pretty garden courtyard and an orangery , which overlooks the garden and is where ceremonies are held .
