About
Setting

The Orangery is a stunning waterside wedding venue just a short walk from the centre of Maidstone in Kent.

Close to local amenities with excellent transport links, including trains running directly to London Victoria from Maidstone East (a 5-minute drive away). It’s your slice of the English countryside in an urban location, with endless photo opportunities for you and your guests.

Vibe

The Orangery is licensed for both indoor and outdoor civil ceremonies, and you’ll have the choice of three stunning options:

The Gazebo is their outdoor ceremony option, suitable for up to 150 of your friends and family. Nestled within the immaculately landscaped grounds, it provides an unforgettable setting to exchange your vows. You and your wedding party can make your entrance, including across the bridge or alongside the lake and waterfall.

The Lapa is the second outdoor ceremony option for up to 150 guests. Couples choosing The Lapa for their ceremony can walk through the woodland walk for their grand entrance. Surrounded by trees dating back hundreds of years, The Lapa’s thatched roof is open on all sides to maintain magnificent views across the lake to the boathouse.

The Garden Room is an indoor ceremony option for up to 150 guests. The elegant Garden Room is a stunning year-round location for your civil ceremony. Five double doors span the front facade, providing guests with a perfect view of the beautiful garden and the wedding party as they make their entrance across the bridge.

You’ll be supported by a dedicated wedding coordinator who will be by your side throughout your planning journey, and you’ll also enjoy access to their exclusive online wedding planning tool that’s dedicated to reducing time-consuming wedmin.

The team were amazing and made the day so special for us. Every little detail was looked after and no stress or worry crossed our minds at any part of the day. The Orangery team took care of everything and it made such a huge difference to the running of the day. They were kind, patient, and extremely calming. Always there, no matter how big or small the matter in hand was. We are on cloud 9 and can’t see us coming down anytime soon!

We were due to get married here in August 2020 but Covid got in the way. We have had to postpone again for the same reason but there is nowhere else we would get married. The venue is stunning with lots of gorgeous options for the ceremony. We were fortunate enough to have our menu tasting just before the first lockdown and it was delicious! The team has also been nothing but helpful, kind, patient, and understanding throughout our wedding planning, particularly throughout the various curveballs that Covid has thrown at us all. I am sure behind the scenes it has been very stressful for them all, but you wouldn’t know it. I would highly recommend this venue and am so excited for when the day finally comes that we can marry here!

We were the first to get married out of our friends and we really had no idea where to start when planning a wedding. From our first meeting with The Orangery, the wedding coordinator really took the time to talk us through the whole process and because of that have made it such an enjoyable experience and far less stressful than we thought it would be. The day itself was beyond anything we could’ve dreamed of and it ran so smoothly. Every one of our guests commented on how well things ran and how great all of the staff were. The food was delicious and even with so many guests, none were ever queuing too long for a drink at the bar.
