Chapel House Estate: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Kent
At Chapel House Estate, we create unforgettable, bespoke weddings and unique celebrations, surrounded by nature – blending elegance with sustainability through our home-grown produce, local partnerships, and eco-friendly practices that preserve and enhance our 35-acre estate.
Reimagined to be the perfect venue, the private, family-run estate brings alive your tailor-made event with versatile spaces and great food. Led by slick operators with a twinkle in their eyes, they bring creativity, immaculate taste, attention to detail and an anything-is-possible approach to make it uniquely ‘you’.
Your Day, Your Way
Our beautifully restored wedding venue and estate give you the freedom to create unique memories. All-out or low-key, we’ll help you design your perfect day with a dreamy backdrop, great food, luxe lodgings, and your favourite people.
We’re not about a you-must-use-these-flowers list, there’s no one way to party on the estate, and there’s certainly no rush. Instead, you’ll get our help, ideas, endless styling options from our recommended suppliers, and an abundance of space to truly make it a day and night to remember.
From your first drink of choice to your final dance beneath the stars, every moment is designed with care, creativity and heart.
Ceremony Spaces
The Wild Apple Orchard - Setting the scene for a truly relaxed, romantic moment, our estate gardener has transformed the Wild Apple Orchard into a beautiful meadow, allowing the lawn to flourish naturally to create a serene space for exchanging vows, amongst the wildlife, in front of up to 150 seated guests.
The Old Malt Granary - Nestled in the private estate, the beautifully restored Old Malt Granary is home to our indoor weddings, civil ceremonies, blessings and renewal of vows.
With high ceilings, exposed beams, original brickwork and large windows that flood the space with natural light, the Granary comfortably seats up to 150 people.
The Chapel House (1290) - Rich in history and lovingly restored, our namesake Chapel House provides an enchanting setting for elopements and micro-weddings steeped in atmosphere for up to 15 people.
The Celebration
Thorne Barn - Celebrate in the charming Thorne Barn, home to our larger celebrations, with space for up to 150 daytime guests and 200 evening guests. A fabulous 1920s-inspired cocktail bar, outdoor terrace and plenty of room to party the night away.
The Glass Courtyard - For more intimate gatherings, the Glass Courtyard and adjoining Lounge Bar offer a relaxed yet refined setting for private dining, celebrations and post-wedding breakfasts. Light-filled by day and softly atmospheric by night, the space comfortably hosts up to 60 guests during the day, or up to 100 for evening celebrations.
As the sun sets, the courtyard transforms into a twinkling, glass-covered space, where candlelight glows, music carries, and the party continues under the stars.
Stay the Night
Extend the celebration with exclusive-use accommodation for up to 38 guests.
Unwind in our luxe lodgings, offering magnificent views of carefully-tended gardens, starry skies and wild meadows. Luxuriate in an arts & crafts-inspired home or unwind in a contemporary pine lodge, all nestled comfortably within our 35-acre estate.

- NNeil18/12/2025Happy GuestHappy GuestWent to a wedding reception here. The venue is a good size, probably for up to 100 people. It is well kept and all the facilities are there. The grounds are very clean and well-kept. Access is via a long driveway, which is unmarked on most smartphone apps. There is also a good-sized car park within a hundred yards of the venue. Didn't stay onsite but there are a few lodges nearby to hire.Went to a wedding reception here. The venue is a good size, probably for up to 100 people.

- LLouis & Lauren14/12/2025Exceptional Chapel House EstateExceptional Chapel House EstateWe had the pleasure of having our wedding at Chapel House Estate this December, and it’s easy to see why they are an award-winning venue. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with so many beautiful spaces to enjoy. We were able to make full use of everything it had to offer — our drinks reception and canapés were held in the Glass Courtyard, the ceremony took place in the Granary, and the wedding breakfast and evening party were hosted in Thorne Barn. Our guests were truly impressed by the variety of spaces and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, not to mention the breathtaking photos it allowed us to capture. Guests were also able to choose their meals in advance, which went down a treat and made the dining experience feel really personal and thoughtful. However, it’s the staff who truly make Chapel House so special. They go above and beyond, both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself, to ensure everything runs perfectly. We had Jade as our wedding coordinator, and she was nothing short of exceptional. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly, put us completely at ease, and even came to the rescue with wardrobe malfunctions and childcare. Jade made us feel genuinely cared for — she even remembered my wife’s birthday (the day after our wedding) and brought her a card. It’s just one example of her incredible attention to detail. We honestly can’t thank Jade and the entire team enough — you are amazing. We would highly recommend Chapel House Estate as a wedding venue. You and your guests will absolutely love it.

Our wedding at Chapel House Estate on 30 October was everything we had dreamed of — and more. What truly sets Chapel House Estate apart, though, is the team.

- CChris & Vicky25/11/2025The VALUE chapel house provides a no brainerThe VALUE chapel house provides a no brainerWe got married on Monday 20th October. it was an amazing day, despite the changeable weather featuring sunshine, very heavy rain and some strong winds at times too. We had around 90 guests in the day and 135 in the evening. Did we pay a little more than other venues... Yes... But not by much. The VALUE chapel house provides over the other 6 venues we visited makes it a complete no brainer. Having the accommodatio on site saves a huge amount of money and I would say makes it far cheaper overall.We got married on Monday 20th October. it was an amazing day, despite the changeable weather featuring sunshine, very heavy rain and some strong winds at times too.

- SShelby & Alex07/11/2025BEST DAY EVER!!BEST DAY EVER!!From the very first time we visited Chapel House Estate, we knew it was the one. Every corner of the venue felt like it had been designed with love and intention, and we instantly felt at home. The blend of the beautifully restored Old Malt Granary with the modern elegance of The Thorne Barn was everything we had dreamed of and more. The addition of the Glass Courtyard was the cherry on top, adding even more wow-factor to an already perfect setting. From the moment we booked, the entire planning process was seamless. While many talk about how stressful wedding planning can be, our experience was the complete opposite and that’s entirely down to your incredible team. Every step, from our initial tour to our final meeting, was handled with such care, calm, and professionalism. You made it feel effortless. Every staff member we met, whether during tours, open days, or planning meetings was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It was so reassuring to see how much your team loves the venue, and it only added to our excitement each time we visited. As for the big day itself, it was flawless. Everything ran like clockwork, and we know that’s thanks to the hard work happening behind the scenes. Keeley, you were with us from the moment we arrived at 8am until the sun had set and the party was in full swing. You are truly an angel - calm, kind, and completely in control. We feel so lucky to have had you by our side. For anyone who is fortunate enough to have you as their coordinator, they’re in the very best hands. Chapel House Estate didn’t just give us a wedding, it gave us memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We are endlessly grateful for the love, care, and attention you poured into every detail. You gave us the day we had always dreamed of, and we will never forget it. To anyone considering this venue: stop searching. This is the one. You will not find a more beautiful place or a more incredible team.

I waitied a month to write this review because hindsight can be pretty bad, and it definitely got the best of me at times. But it was the absoulute best day! We were fortunate enough to have clear skies on the day, so we had our ceremony in the apple orchard, which was our favourite part of the day, the ceremony went so well and our celebrant couldnt have been a better match for us.
