Welcome to Kentfield Country Estate: Your Dream Countryside Wedding Venue
Nestled in the heart of Kent, Kentfield Country Estate is a privately owned working farm that offers a peaceful and romantic countryside escape for your wedding day. Surrounded by native woodlands, wildflower meadows, and a stunning four-acre lake, this venue creates a naturally beautiful and serene backdrop for couples who want a tranquil celebration close to nature.
With only 12 weddings hosted each year between May and September, Kentfield ensures an exclusive, intimate, and fully personalized experience tailored just for you.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces Designed for Your Perfect Day
Kentfield Country Estate holds a full wedding license, so you can celebrate your entire day here—from exchanging vows to dancing the night away. Choose from several unique ceremony locations:
- Waterside African Lapa: Say “I do” with the beautiful lake as your backdrop. This lakeside space accommodates up to 100 guests.
- Traditional Shoot Lodge: A charming, intimate setting perfect for smaller ceremonies.
For your reception, the elegant LP Bohemia Marquee sits beside the lake, offering sweeping views of the estate. It comfortably hosts up to 150 guests for a seated meal and an additional 50 for the evening party. If you prefer something cozier, the Shooting Lodge welcomes up to 30 guests.
Catering and Accommodation Tailored to You
Kentfield takes pride in serving high-quality, home-farmed produce, including rare-breed Sussex cattle beef and Southdown lamb. Whether you envision a formal seated dinner or a relaxed summer BBQ buffet, the catering team will customize your menu to fit your style and preferences.
The estate is child-friendly, but please keep in mind the presence of the lake when planning your day. For a unique touch, consider staying in the Mini Safari Tent on-site. With flexible internal walls, it can be used for glamping or as a private dressing room.
Unique Features That Make Kentfield Stand Out
- Exclusive Use: Only 12 weddings are hosted annually, ensuring your celebration feels truly personal and private.
- Stunning Setting: The 500-acre estate, including a four-acre lake, offers breathtaking photo opportunities throughout your day.

- LLee Evans21/11/2023The scenery is stunningThe scenery is stunningJust hosted our fifth event at Kentfield. This one consisted of a shoot, BBQ and a family evening event. In our opinion it is the best multi purpose event venue around (ironically the family event consisted of several veteran event organisers who all agreed!). The scenery is stunning, with wildlife everywhere. It is such a hidden gem. Just hosted our fifth event at Kentfield. This one consisted of a shoot, BBQ and a family evening event.

- SSteve Baldock21/11/2023fantastic job fantastic jobGiven the weather conditions (dreadful rain) at the start of the day, we were determined to go ahead with our Client Event. Ian and his team, did a fantastic job in adapting to the situation. He introduced other activities we weren’t expecting, more clay shooting and ‘axe throwing’ as well as fly fishing. The tuition we received was first class, with plenty of fun at the same time, the food and general hospitality shown from his wife, again was simply perfect.Given the weather conditions (dreadful rain) at the start of the day, we were determined to go ahead with our Client Event.
