Multi-day celebrations
With Desi weddings often spanning two to five days, couples seeking somewhere to wed in the county will want to consider somewhere that offers exclusive use and the option to hire it for several days so that all celebrations can easily take place in the same location.
From a place to host mehndi celebrations to large dance floors perfect for sangeet evenings, one of the draws of Kent as a wedding destination is the fact that around a third of the county’ s venues offer multi-day use.
Popular choices include The Harty Estate on the Isle of Sheppey which is perfect for hosting mehndi, ceremony and reception all in one countryside setting. Solomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells is another popular choice thanks to its
350 guest capacity and the fact you can hold large-scale weddings with full guest accommodation there.
And when it comes to finding the one? It’ s all about a beautiful setting that can work on a large- or smaller- scale to suit the couple’ s needs.
“ We are finding couples are endeavouring to combine tradition with meaningful story-led experiences” says Bibi.
“ The revival of heritage sites and countryside estates is definitely in higher demand, along with quiet luxury and smaller volumes of guests; quite out of the norm as Asian weddings tend to be a time when all from the community are embraced.” wedinkent. co. uk • 37
