The night before

Arrive at least a night before your wedding to make the most of everything Cave offers to ensure you ’ re fully relaxed and rested . After dinner at one of Cave ’ s fantastic on-site restaurants , head to the tranquil hydrotherapy pool and sauna to unwind in the 12-person Jacuzzi before heading to your room for the best night ’ s sleep of your life .

Each of the 41 rooms at Cave is fit for royalty with king-size beds boasting mattresses made by the same company that make the Queen ’ s , adjustable mood lighting with ‘ romance ’ setting , 65-inch TV screens , super high-tech features and bespoke furniture and fittings designed , commissioned and sourced from all over the world .

The big day

Waking up in the uber-luxe bridal suite , head to your private wraparound balcony and take in the panoramic views of Kent ’ s rolling countryside . Finally , your big day has arrived and what better way to toast it than with a glass of perfectly chilled Champagne as you prepare to dazzle your waiting guests . Cave ’ s beautiful pergola is a

magical setting for your ceremony , every part of which can be tailored with your dedicated coordinator to reflect your personality as a couple . Whether you want whimsical and romantic , or vibrant and modern , your wish is Cave ’ s command .

The food

From its exceptionally chic setting , wedding menu options harness Cave ’ s indulgent deep flavours , unique smoking methods and offer delicious dishes from every corner of the globe . Forget stuffy , sit-down three-course dinners , the main wedding menu is an exciting sensory journey delivering huge international flavours from Korean Cowgirl and Firepit style menus created specifically for events that everyone will love getting involved in . The antithesis of a traditional wedding menu , it ’ s all about pairing incredible flavours with fine-dining flair , and ultimately sharing an impressive feast with your friends and family . Evening guests are not forgotten either , with hog roasts and grazing charcuterie boards options available .

The celebrations

After saying ‘ I do ’, Cave ’ s magnificent marquee with a sparkling starlit ceiling is a completely private area and the ideal space for you and up to 140 guests to be wined and dined . In line with Cave ’ s ethos that a wedding should be all about faultless food , fantastic company and a joyful shared experience , the marquee is a blank canvas for you to decorate however you choose ; anything goes !

Accommodating 200 evening guests , the undercover terrace is also exclusively yours for the day , with plenty of casual seating for your friends and family to sit back and be utterly wowed by the firework spectacular that will finish your night .

The photos

Without question , one of the most important parts of your wedding experience is the photos , and fear not , Cave has you covered . With 250 acres of incredible nature including existing orchards and established fruit trees , the grounds are an Instragrammer ’ s dream and a heavenly backdrop against which your professional photos will shine .

The morning after the night before

It ’ s a Cave guarantee that you ’ ll still be on a high when you wake up – possibly slightly jaded from having a ball the night before – and what better way to set you up for the day than with a tasty group breakfast like no other at Cave ’ s Korean Cowgirl Restaurant . Head back to the spa for a dip and when you ’ ve worked up an appetite , why not stay a little longer for afternoon tea – with a Cave twist , of course .

An affordable luxury hotel with a fivestar feel - and without the rules that traditional hotels have – tie the knot with a twist at Cave for a wedding you ’ ll never forget .
