Absolutely stunning venue

Large grounds and barn to accommodate your wedding in any weather conditions. Having the house available from Thurs-Monday, with 8 bedrooms, makes the experience extra special. The wedding party can sleep and get ready (and crash afterwards) on-site while living like medieval aristocracy. Juliet is also lovely and super helpful.

The perfect dream wedding ... magical

We were recommended Kingston Manor after two venues fell through and we honestly felt like it was meant to be. We fell in love with the house the second we arrived. Juliet and Robert were fantastic hosts and kept in touch with us throughout our planning to ensure everything would be perfect... which it was! They were incredibly flexible with us with our wedding ideas - it was the perfect dream wedding and the 5-day stay just made it even more magical. I wish we could go back and do it all again.

The best weekend of our life!

If you're after wedding venue that is personal and stunning, Kingston Manor is the place to celebrate your special day. There isn't one fault to share about Kingston Manor and the lovely owners Juliet and Robert! The only fault is that we are not there every weekend! From day one of visiting we knew that the 'naked venue' was everything we had dreamt in terms of the setting but also the spaces, whilst also offering the opportunity to make it personal to us. Juliet and Robert were really flexible and listened to our dreams and proposals. The long weekend for our family at Kingston Manor felt like a holiday in the South of France. The house is the perfect space for two families to celebrate a whole weekend whilst also not being on top of each other. If you are after an intimate celebration whilst still having a great sized wedding (80- 120 people) Kingston manor is more than perfect! The blank canvas can really take any style, theme or creativity. Simple or extravagant.

The most magical wedding weekend....

Our wedding at Kingston manor was nothing short of perfect. The manor is so beautiful, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and really well put together and have a luxury feel. There is so much space in all the living areas - we had 18 people staying and it never felt at all crowded. The grounds of the manor are stunning too! Walking down the aisle from the old medieval front door through a beautiful walled garden was a very special moment. The barn looked spectacular for our wedding meal and the garden party in the courtyard the following day was perfect! We had the manor for 5 nights so we could watch the wedding being set up by the local suppliers which was so exciting. Especially as most often we were relaxing in the hot tub! Juliet is fantastic at ensuring everything was easy to arrange and was so helpful with local contacts and making us feel at home during our stay. We absolutely love Kingston Manor and couldn’t recommend it more for a holiday or especially a wedding! We want to book it again for an anniversary celebration in a few years time!! Would love to do it all again... Thank you Juliet and beautiful Kingston Manor.

Outstanding house and gardens

Fabulous wedding venue! It’s a wedding venue that you never want to leave! It felt like our place for the weekend and that’s exactly what we wanted. Such a smooth process throughout. Juliet was extra accommodating for everything whilst also being extremely communicative and supportive. We have stunning wedding photos and videos from this outstanding house and gardens. We would highly recommend booking this wonderful venue

Wonderful wedding venue that allows you to celebrate all weekend!

Shaun and I got married here in July and it was fantastic. The venue is absolutely stunning and the house is beautiful. As we live abroad, we were looking for an extended celebration and a venue that could cater for many of our friends and family to stay. Having the venue and accomodation for 4 nights meant that we could host our families and celebrate not just on the day but all weekend incuding a bbq on the sunday. The cottages on the grounds and behind the barn, alongside being able to set up some bell tents and taking over the Wight Mouse pub, meant we had lots of accomodation around for extended family and friends. We had our ceremony in the formal garden which was beautiful and the reception in the barn and gardens. A huge plus for us was the fact that the venue is a blank canvas and you can esssentially plan your event to be whatever you want. The house is an amazing place to stay and we would love to come back in the Winter to try out the huge fireplaces! We highly recommend this venue!
