Penshurst Place and Gardens

Our wedding was better than we ever dreamed it would be and so much of that was down to Nikki, Liz and the rest of the team at Penshurst Place being so incredibly kind, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. From the moment we first got in touch to arrange a viewing, they were always having been on hand to answer our queries and advise on the best approach - it has taken so much stress out of the planning process which has been remarkable. The day itself was completely perfect - the Baron's Hall and the grounds looked stunning and everything ran like clockwork! I'm particularly grateful to the team for setting up our welcome drinks outside; the weather was definitely less than ideal but it meant so much to me that we could spend some time outside in the beautiful gardens. We have received so, so many comments from guests on how incredibly special the venue was and how brilliant the team were, as well as many compliments on the food. I would recommend Penshurst Place so highly to absolutely anyone planning a wedding; it was perfect. Thank you so much to the team!

We had the absolute privilege of getting married at Penshurst Place on 7th September 2024, and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue! From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by its breathtaking beauty, rich history, and undeniable wow factor. The picturesque setting left our guests in awe, and they are still singing its praises weeks later. A huge thank you to the incredible staff, especially Nikki and Liz, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. They were with us every step of the way, offering guidance and support with smiles on their faces. Their professionalism and warmth helped make our day stress-free and truly unforgettable. The food was simply exquisite, beautifully presented and delicious. The entire team was expertly turned out, efficient, and incredibly friendly, adding to the seamless experience of the day. Penshurst Place is everything we could have hoped for and more—it made our wedding day feel like something out of a fairytale. We will forever be grateful for the memories created here!

Harriet and I had the most wonderful wedding day at Penshurst Place and a seamless experience during the build-up right through to the day itself. The team were very communicative and their organisation was second to none. Our meetings in-person ahead of the day were very productive, including our meal tasting which was a fantastic experience. The day itself was amazing and we loved every second of it. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the venue & gardens and had nothing but positive words to say about the quality of the food & drinks and the service provided. We had the most fantastic experience and feel we couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate our marriage. Penshurst Place just felt right from the moment we arrived, and we enjoyed the day so much.

Myself and my husband Ryan were married at Penshurst Place in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the inner courtyard which took place 17.08.2024. Our wedding journey began after getting engaged back in September 2022 on our 4 year anniversary. We always had spoken about our venue being a castle or historical place and it was a dream of mine since I was a little girl to be married in a castle one day. Ryan and I visited Penshurst Place back in 2019 on a spontaneous date day out and thought it was stunning. We always remembered it and didn’t realise weddings could take place there until we was searching for venues. When we was shown around the venue we was mind blown as soon as we walked into the Barons Hall and after visiting some other venues prior we just knew Penshurst Place was our wedding venue. Our wedding was two years planning and booking in all of our amazing suppliers and our big day took place on Saturday 17th August 2024. It was honestly like a fairytale and best day of our lives. All of our suppliers did such a fantastic job ringing our visions to life. Not to mention the hard work and wonderful staff at Penshurst including, Caroline, Sarah and Liz + the wonderful chef. We was blessed with beautiful weather on our day and felt that some of our loved ones who couldn’t be there was definitely with us and looking down on us. We would just like to end our review with thank you so much Penshurst Place for the most magical day of our lives. With love and thanks, Charlotte & Ryan Mr & Mrs Whitehouse x x

Thank you so much for the wonderful way you helped us celebrate our daughter’s wedding. So professional,understanding and helpful. All members of staff were friendly and made us feel so welcome. We can certainly recommend Penshurst as a special place for a wedding.

Penshurst Place was absolutely the best place to get married, every detail and every part was incredible. We can not give them a good enough review to explain how wonderful the place and grounds were but more importantly the staff. We had a ceremony only event there as was our second marriage but you would not have known it they went above and beyond for every aspect. My little girl gets car sick so they accommodated giving me a room to change in before hand. They were flawless and the attention to detail was incredible. We had 5 flavoured Ice creams and the chef came up with sweet canapés as I am not a fan of savoury ones. They set up our games and the put out order of services. We can not Thank them enough for the trouble and care that they went to for us. Communication with them was brilliant, often responding to emails the same day. I can not sing their praises enough! It's obvious that Penshurst Place has the most incredible grounds and building and that our photographer Barry Page will have captured fantastic shots for us to keep as memories, but more than that what Penshurst has is staff that make the most important day to you the most relaxed and enjoyable day you will experience.

Thank you to the team for all their effort to make our day as special as it was! George, Caroline and Liz were fantastic all round. From food suggestions to having Mr and Mrs cocktails, to letting our DJ unload equipment slightly earlier than originally planned to fit with our tight timelines, everything helped to make our day unique and just as we had wanted

The team's guidance and attention to detail in the planning for the event was superb, and I’m sure it set the conditions for the big day to run so smoothly. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed what could so easily have been a stressful experience…the food and wine tasting for example was great fun! The wedding day was wonderful too. The food was a particular highlight, so please pass on our thanks to the kitchen staff. Throughout, the organisation and direction was seamless.

Penshurst Place is a truly beautiful wedding venue and the events team were fantastic, I cannot fault them! We had the BEST wedding day!! They were very organised in the run up to our wedding and on the day, we didn’t have to worry about anything. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our day as we were totally confident that they had everything in hand. I would recommend Penshurst to anyone looking for the perfect winter wedding! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special for us! X

Our wedding at Penshurst Place & Gardens exceeded all expectations, which is a big feat considering we'd been dreaming about it for about a year a half beforehand! We ended up having the hottest day of 2023 for our special day at 33 degrees, but the events and catering staff at Penshurst kept their 'cool' and made every effort to ensure we and our guests did too, with water stations and seats in shady areas. Everyone had a smile on their face and really made us feel confident and valued. Caroline helped us stay calm before the nervy walk down the aisle, and Liz was all hands on deck in the evening, helping bustle Alex's dress when everyone else couldn't work out how to do it (tips for brides, make sure at least a few people know how to do this before the big day!) and holding us both up when we climbed the bench in the Minstrel's Gallery in the evening to view our wedding from above (highly recommend)! We're so thankful for the wedding events team and now we have memories to keep for a lifetime, and it's even better that the venue is open to the public, so we can re-live the day any time we want a stroll there.
