THE HISTORIC DOCKYARD CHATHAM
Not only can couples tie the knot by the water ’ s edge at The Historic Dockyard Chatham , they can also say “ I do ” aboard a ship , should they wish . With four exclusive ceremony venues including Britain ’ s oldest naval building The Commissioner ’ s House and Victorian sloop , HMS Gannet , the historic maritime estate offers ceremony and reception options aplenty and a truly unique Kentish venue .
East Quay Venue
EAST QUAY VENUE
With direct sea views and a real seaside feel , Whitstable ’ s East Quay Venue is a seriously cool space right on Whitstable ’ s harbourfront . Formerly an oyster grading room , it ’ s now a rustic and relaxed space where couples can create lasting memories , all set to the backdrop of the Kentish coastline .
THE ORANGERY , MAIDSTONE
With its tumbling waterfall and private lake , The Orangery in Maidstone might not be by the sea , but that won ’ t stop you capturing beautiful waterside photographs on your big day . Choose to host your ceremony at the woodland lapa on the lake , where you can make your way through the woodland walk for your grand entrance and look out across the lake to the boathouse .
