The Setting
Approaching Nettlestead Place along the yew tree-lined drive sets the tone for an extraordinary, exclusive experience. As the Manor House reveals itself, surrounded by award-winning gardens and a captivating sunken pond, the venue’s true beauty unfolds. The expansive 10-acre property, south of Nettlestead village near Maidstone, offers a quintessentially English wedding setting with breathtaking views across the River Medway. Hidden from the main road yet easily accessible, it promises a perfect blend of history, elegance, and modern style, ensuring that your wedding is a truly unique and special event.
Nettlestead Place’s discreet charm and surprising intimacy are enhanced by its easy accessibility. Just minutes away from Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Ashford International, Charing Cross London, Maidstone West, and Paddock Wood, it ensures a stress-free journey for guests.
The Vibe
Nettlestead Place, a historic 10-acre estate in Kent, offers a unique English country setting with a striking medieval manor—listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, no less!
The 14th-century gatehouse stands west of the manor at the start of the private drive and is an impressive entrance for the wedding 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 preparation.
The 13th-century Undercroft, characterised by medieval pillars, accommodates up to 120 guests for indoor ceremonies. For those preferring outdoor vows, the Rose Garden and its cedar wood Gazebo, nestled under a 300-year-old Lime tree, offer a truly romantic setting.
After the ceremony, the celebration continues on broad terraces overlooking the sunken pond and the picturesque Kent countryside. Guests can meander through manicured lawns and water features, eventually reaching the exclusive wedding marquee with stunning views over the valley. This marquee, accommodating up to 150-day guests and 200 evening guests, provides a flexible canvas for couples to decorate according to their unique style. The venue’s wedding coordinator and in-house catering service ensure seamless planning, allowing couples to tailor their celebration.
With an opulent atmosphere and pet-friendly spaces, the venue allows for confetti and fireworks, offering an enchanting backdrop for celebrations that can be as formal or informal as the couple desires. Nettlestead Place is both romantic and relaxed, ensuring an impeccable yet discreet service for an unforgettable day.
