Description

The Buttery and Glasshouse is a spectacular space blending old and new, discreetly tucked behind the 14th century coaching inn. It is a postcard perfect, one-stop destination venue offering couples all they need and a hidden surprise for expectant guests. It is a venue like no other, this is not your average Kentish barn. Designed with spatial flow in mind, the wedding day moves seamlessly between spaces. The Buttery works in perfect harmony with The Glasshouse and the final result is an awe-inspiring, contemporary and innovative backdrop to provide a lasting impact on guests’ memories of the wedding. . Offering two different styles of package designed to bring ease and joy to your wedding planning journey: All-Inclusive Indulgent Package - Our 'all singing, all dancing' fully inclusive packages provide a platform for couples to achieve the wedding day of their dreams. Build Your Own’ Bespoke Package - Our exciting new style of wedding package offers our couples more of a creative lead. Our “build your own” style caters to all budgets and allows couples to select only the elements of the package that they actually want. . With a ‘home from home’ hotel ethos, we strive to offer the very best service and quality food at a beautiful venue with helpful and attentive staff. With everything under the same roof, we offer on-site catering, a stunning honeymoon suite, plus 10 ensuite boutique bedrooms for your guests. A true foodie paradise: crafted canapés, artisan pizzas, cheese and charcuterie spreads, grazing tables, smokehouse feasts, wholesome desserts, three-course wedding breakfasts, festival food stalls… all prepared using local suppliers, family run farms and artisan producers. Do you prefer a weekday wedding? Is a Sunday wedding your dream date? What about extending it to a whole bank holiday weekend? Far from one-fits-all, The Bull Hotel is probably the only venue in Kent that really offers bespoke, build your own packages (and payment plans).

Nothing was too much trouble

On the day of the wedding itself, they treated not only us but all of our guests like royalty and made every one of them feel relaxed and special. The extra special attention they paid to some of the older generation with mobility issues was extremely heartwarming, nothing and I mean nothing was too much trouble.

Relaxed rustic vibe!

We got married here just a few days ago, on Sat 8th June 2024. We fell in love with the venue when we visited on their summer open day last year and knew we had to book our wedding here. We loved the relaxed rustic vibe. We are so glad we did! The venue is so versatile, offering various spaces and packages. We were able to make the space our own with just the right input from Emma, our brilliant wedding co-ordinator. Emma was great, through all the planning and preparation, and on the day itsel

Made our dream day go seamlessly

Amazing wedding venue and planning. Emma and the team made our dream day go seamlessly and we thoroughly enjoyed every second. The food, the space, the customer service and the thoughtfulness / attention to detail in the lead up and on the day. We loved the fact we could stay the night before with our close friends and family to set up and it made the morning after really relaxing. We even took our young daughter to the park round the corner after breakfast before the morning preparations began!

A unique venue like no other

We have worked at the Buttery/Glass House for over 6 years now and it has been a pleasure throughout. The team are one of the most professional and accommodating in the business, and they have always offered us flexibility and a helping hand, something extremely rare within the wedding industry. The venue has evolved over the years and is looking the best it ever has. The stunning Glass House offers a unique venue like no other in Kent, and the beautiful rustic Buttery still has plenty to offer making it a wonderfully versatile venue. We treasure our relationship with the Buttery/Glass House and look forward to many more years working alongside them.

Cosy and intimate celebrations

We got married at The Bull in late October, and would wholeheartedly recommend it as a wedding venue. We had the perfect amount of communication and check ins along the planning process. We were able to use The Buttery and The Glasshouse as blank slates to decorate to our heart’s content for our Autumnal theme, and the venue lent itself so well to our cosy and intimate celebrations. The food was incredible, so all our guests were very impressed and well fed!

Our guest where over the moon with everything

From the very moment we stepped into the bull hotel we just knew this was the venue for us, the most incredible members of staff who honestly cannot do enough for you. We had great communication throughout from our first visit with Leigh Anne to our final meeting with Emma. The ladies at the Glasshouse are fantastic. The food was incredible on the day and also the breakfast the next day. Our guest where over the moon with everything just like us!

A fabulous all year round wedding venue!

From the first time we dropped in for a drink to take a look at The Bull Hotel, to our initial meeting, to the wonderful wedding open day visit with family, to our actual wedding, the staff and service has been fantastic. The Glasshouse and Buttery is a fabulous all year round wedding venue that is light and airy and gets a 10 out of 10 for service, location, comfort and the best cosmopolitan cocktails!
