The Venue
Chapel House Estate, Kent
Chapel House Estate
Set within 35 acres of private Kent countryside, the estate sits among orchards, paddocks and formal gardens — a genuinely beautiful setting for a celebration. We couldn't be happier to be getting married here.

Where We'll Be
Wild Apple Orchard
The ceremony takes place outside in the Wild Apple Orchard — a beautiful setting surrounded by long grass, meadow planting and open skies. In the event of bad weather, we will move inside to the Old Malt Granary, a stunning restored barn with soaring ceilings and original brickwork.
The Gardens
Welcome drinks and the post-ceremony reception will take place in the estate's beautiful formal gardens. If the weather decides not to cooperate, we have a covered alternative ready.
The Glass Courtyard
Our wedding breakfast and the evening's celebrations take place in the Glass Courtyard — a stunning covered space that really comes alive as the night goes on.
