Our perfect wedding weekend!July 2026
We honestly cannot thank Jodie and the whole Kingston team enough for the most perfect wedding weekend. From the very first viewing to the farewell Sunday breakfast, everything was magical. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, with immaculate gardens, cozy cottages, stunning barn conversions and a jaw dropping main house. A walled garden, dining marquee, circus tent yurt, and basement nightclub complete the astounding options on offer (all of which we used! ) Together it made us feel like we were hosting a festival or reunion party as well as an amazing celebration of love.

Guests will NEVER be hungry here!The guest rooms were beautifully presented and 92 family and friends stayed for 42 hours and had the most perfect mini break. The views and scenery and seclusion are heavenly. Another 40 guests joined us for the whole of Saturday and were equally blown away by the venue. We truly wish we could do it all over again and would not hesitate to recommend this incredibly special place. Top tip - Do use Kingston’s book of recommended vendors to start your research. Despite being based in London we found it so helpful to be guided on local contacts and found our baker, musicians, makeup artists, florists, and photographers who knew the venue well and what worked best.
