Your Kent Wedding - January/February 2022 (Issue 100)

WED & breakfast Our roundup of Kent’s hotel wedding venues INN ON THE LAKE 01474 823 333 | www.fcdhotels.co.uk The Inn on the Lake sits on the edge of 12 acres of woodland, and its gorgeous gardens are planted around three natural lakes. The best news is you and your photographer will have access to all of it on the big day, allowing you to capture some truly memorable photographs to treasure forever. You might even get the opportunity to pose with the friendly resident ducks! As the venue’s name implies, the lakes are a real focus of weddings here. From saying “I do” at the water’s edge and beautiful photo opps on the jetty, to a barbecue on the terrace. You can even wake up in the morning and enjoy a coffee (or glass of pre-wedding bubbly) on your bedroom’s lakeside terrace. THE “I DOS” You have the choice of three wonderful locations for your “I dos.” The Lakeside Gazebo, set on the edge of the largest lake is a beautiful outdoor setting seating up to 200 guests, or 250 standing. Alternatively, if you’d rather be indoors or the weather isn’t lending itself to al fresco vows, The Fountain Suite is an option. This is an intimate room with soft drapes, chandeliers and a natural wood floor. It can seat 100 or allow for 130 standing. Finally, The Lakeside Suite is the largest space. It boasts floor-toceiling and wall-to-wall windows, which flood the room with natural light, creating stunning panoramic views of the lakes and gardens. It’s decorated with soft white drapes and ornate chandeliers, making a romantic canvas for a wedding. It can seat up to 250 guests. THE CELEBRATIONS Receptions take place in the aforementioned Lakeside Suite. With this space you also get exclusive access to the Lakeside Terrace allowing you to enjoy the best of the gorgeous outdoor space all day (and night) long. The suite can host 250 for the wedding breakfast and 300 for the evening bash. THERE’S MORE! As the couple-of-the-moment, you’ll receive two complimentary tickets to a tribute event to sample the food and DJ. You can also enjoy a stay in the spa suite on the house, and the bride will be treated to a wedding-eve stay with her bridesmaids. www.rebeccadouglas.co.uk www.rebeccadouglas.co.uk HOTEL VENUES 29
