Chiddingstone Castle is a dreamy destination for weddings A Grade II* listed historic house, Chiddingstone Castle boasts 35 acres of informal grounds comprising sweeping lawns, a lake, woodlands, and breathtaking views of the Kent countryside. The castle provides a magnificent backdrop for a wedding: turrets, towers, beautiful stonework, and impressively large doors add a sense of grandeur while still being small enough to offer intimate charm. Celebrate in style The Victorian Orangery features a Victorian stone structure with an award-winning glass roof and can accommodate up to 400 guests. The Great Hall is a grand, formal room of Tudor heritage that can seat up to 80 people. The newlyweds sign the register at the 17th-century oak refectory table beneath the stained-glass window overlooking the courtyard rose garden. The White Rose Drawing Room is a light and elegant space with breathtaking views of the Weald. It boasts high ceilings, large double-aspect windows, and a stone fireplace, making it perfect for a more intimate ceremony of up to 60 guests. Although not part of Chiddingstone Castle, St Mary’s Church in the Tudor village of Chiddingstone is a short walk through the grounds for those who would prefer a religious ceremony. After the vows, as couples have exclusive use, all the rooms at the castle are fully flexible. Should the wedding breakfast exceed 80 guests, the addition of a marquee increases capacity to 400. The evening reception and dancing then take place in the Great Hall. Luxury extras An exclusive package is available that includes an elite catering team who will provide mouthwatering food. The castle partners with several local, highly rated hotels and boutique bed and breakfasts, and when celebrations come to an end, newlyweds can enjoy executive transport to their chosen accommodation.
