The Perfect Wedding – the people who make it happen.
As you drive up to Chilston Park Hotel, in Lenham, the grounds and views are impressive. There is reference to Chilston as far back as the 12th Century. Re-built over the years, parts of the walls date from the 15th and 16th centuries and in 1719 the house was remodelled to the Chilston Park we know today. Now part of the Handpicked Hotel group, Chilston Park enjoys fantastic reviews getting bookings up to a year in advance for their legendary Christmas dinners but it is the romance and opulence of the property that is most striking. That is one of the reasons why it is one of the most popular venues for weddings in Kent and thoroughly recommended for Valentine’s visits.
Putting the romance aside, I went to Chilston Park Hotel to find out about the inner workings of the beautiful venue - to see behind the scenes and find out how their highly sort after weddings run smoothly.
Weddings happen here all the time, whatever the package (yes…here you can choose from many different options – a wedding in the Orangery, Coach House, Manor House, an intimate smaller wedding or the exclusive package including use of the whole of Chilston Park Hotel) I am assured the high standards are the same. I am also told that the weddings are always full of excitement for the staff – they just love a wedding.
