About
Setting

Chapel House Estate is situated on 35 acres of Kent’s picturesque countryside. Its extraordinary location combines historical character, modern luxury, and natural beauty. Highlights include lush gardens, a romantic apple orchard, and meticulously restored barns, all tailored to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere for weddings.

Each wedding is a bespoke experience, carefully designed with the support of a dedicated team. Immaculate service and thoughtful details make your day seamless, ensuring every moment feels special.

Ceremony

Ceremonies can take place in the estate’s Wild Apple Orchard, among the vibrant gardens, or inside one of the beautifully restored barns. Outdoor options bring seasonal charm, from spring wildflowers to cosy winter settings indoors. The estate also features a secret garden and a Glass Courtyard, providing additional stunning spaces for vows and receptions.

Reception

Flexible spaces across the estate cater to all styles of wedding receptions. From intimate gatherings with canapés to grand celebrations, the choice is yours. Options include al fresco receptions in the Glass Courtyard under twinkling lights or larger events hosted in the Thorne Barn, a rustic barn prepared for all seasons.

Accommodation

On-site accommodation includes stylish guest lodges, the historic Chapel House, and charming cottages, collectively offering space for up to 38 guests. The exclusive bridal suite is a private retreat for newlyweds, and the estate’s relaxing surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for extended celebrations.

Food & Drink

Dining at Chapel House Estate is tailored to your preferences, with options ranging from sit-down meals to grazing platters. The menus feature seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, enhanced by touches from the kitchen garden. Whether it’s an elegant dinner or a relaxed gourmet barbecue, the experienced team ensures every dish delights.

Getting There

Chapel House Estate is discreetly located in Minster, Kent, yet easily accessible. It is just over an hour from London or a short journey from Thanet Parkway, making it convenient for guests travelling from near or far.

Where do we even begin? Our wedding at Chapel House Estate in October was everything we had dreamed of and more.

What truly sets Chapel House Estate apart, though, is the team. Every single person we interacted with was professional, warm and incredibly accommodating. They made us feel so cared for, and nothing ever felt too much trouble.

To the entire team: thank you for giving us the most beautiful start to our marriage. We will be forever grateful.

We got married in October. It was an amazing day, despite the changeable weather featuring sunshine, very heavy rain and some strong winds at times too. We had around 90 guests in the day and 135 in the evening.

Did we pay a little more than other venues? Yes, but not by much. The value Chapel House provides over the other six venues we visited makes it a complete no-brainer. Having the accommodation on site saves a huge amount of money, and I would say makes it far cheaper overall.

Chris & Vicky

Absolutely blown away by this venue. We were guests at our friend’s wedding and can honestly say it’s the best we’ve ever been to. The grounds were stunning, the food was incredible, but what stood out most to us was the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff; nothing was too much trouble, everything was perfect. We would love to come back and stay in the near future. Chapel House Estate is something special.

We could not have chosen a better place for our wedding. We fell for the venue on our first visit (despite torrential rain) and reserved our date on the same day. The staff are amazing and all of the support you get in advance, and of course on the day, means you essentially get an in-house wedding planner to shape your day. Our day was a little unusual in that we had two ceremonies, which Chapel House were able and very happy to accommodate. Many other venues said they couldn’t do it.

From the moment we first visited Chapel House Estate, we knew it was something truly special – but our wedding day there exceeded even our highest expectations. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, perfectly blending elegance, charm, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every corner felt like it was made for unforgettable memories and beautiful photos.
