About Nettlestead Place

Nettlestead Place is a wedding venue situated in Nettlestead, Kent. This stunning 10-acre property offers a unique English country setting with award-winning gardens and a striking medieval manor. The manor is steeped in history and is still a family home, but it can be exclusively used for weddings. This beautiful space makes for a true gem of a venue. Facilities and Capacity The 14th-century gatehouse stands to the west of the manor at the start of the private drive and is an impressive entrance for the bridal party. St Mary's Church is the neighbouring church and just a 5-minute walk to Nettlestead Place. There is also a comfortable and relaxing suite for the bridal party to make their preparations. The 13th-century Undercroft is a truly unique location for wedding ceremonies and is characterised by 3 medieval pillars. The Undercroft can comfortably seat up to 120 guests. For couples wanting to marry outside, the stunning Rose Garden is the ideal location for outdoor ceremonies. The beautiful hexagonal cedar wood Gazebo, sitting at the base of a 300-year-old Lime tree and surrounded by rose trees, is the perfect setting for an outside ceremony. The aromas and the beauty of the rose garden make this a truly romantic setting. After the wedding ceremony, guests can enjoy champagne and canapes on the broad terraces overlooking the manor's sunken pond and rolling valleys of Kent's countryside. The celebrations can continue as guests can wander through the idyllic gardens, famous throughout Europe, across manicured lawns, paths, and water features, surveying the beautiful Kent countryside on their way to the wedding marquee. The exclusive wedding marquee offers amazing views over the valley and gardens and can accommodate up to 150 day guests and 200 evening guests for wedding receptions. Services Offered Couples are welcome to decorate the venue, tailoring it to their unique style and tastes. A wedding coordinator can assist with this and other details, including liaising with the in-house catering service. The newlyweds are also welcome to spend their first married night in this opulent venue's accommodations. Nettlestead Place is pet-friendly and also allows for confetti and fireworks to illuminate the celebration. History Nettlestead Place is a medieval manor listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 set in the heart of Kent. It has for centuries staged lavish celebrations and is now exclusively available for weddings and other celebrations.

We saw Nettlestead for the first time in the October rain and we knew that if we loved it that much in the rain, it would be perfect in the spring/summer. Sharon was always on hand to help, answer any questions and make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. We had the ability to visit in the…
