Chapel House Estate

Chapel House Estate is a multi-award-winning luxury wedding venue in Kent, with over £6 million invested to create a breathtaking setting—including its very own helicopter pad!

Couples can choose between two exclusive-use venues:

Thorne Barn – A stunning space for larger weddings with 60+ guests.

The Glass Courtyard & number nine restaurant – An intimate and stylish setting for smaller, relaxed weddings.

Ceremony & Reception Spaces

Chapel House Estate offers three unique ceremony spaces and two reception spaces across its 35-acre grounds:

Ceremony Spaces
The Wild Apple Orchard

Setting the scene for a truly relaxed, romantic moment, our estate gardener has transformed the Wild Apple Orchard into a beautiful meadow, allowing the lawn to flourish naturally to create a serene space for exchanging vows, amongst the wildlife, in front of up to 150 seated guests.

The Old Malt Granary

Nestled in the private estate, the beautifully restored Old Malt Granary is home to our indoor weddings, civil ceremonies, blessings and renewal of vows.

With high ceilings, exposed beams, original brickwork and large windows that flood the space with natural light, the Granary comfortably seats up to 150 people.

The Chapel House (1290)

Rich in history and lovingly restored, our namesake Chapel House provides an enchanting setting for elopements and micro-weddings steeped in atmosphere for up to 15 people.

Reception Spaces

Thorne Barn

Celebrate in the charming Thorne Barn, home to larger celebrations, with space for up to 150 daytime guests and 200 evening guests. A fabulous 1920s-inspired cocktail bar, outdoor terrace and plenty of room to party the night away.

The Glass Courtyard

For more intimate gatherings, the Glass Courtyard and adjoining Lounge Bar offer a relaxed yet refined setting for private dining, celebrations and post-wedding breakfasts.

Light-filled by day and softly atmospheric by night, the space comfortably hosts up to 60 guests during the day, or up to 100 for evening celebrations.

As the sun sets, the courtyard transforms into a twinkling, glass-covered space, where candlelight glows, music carries, and the party continues under the stars.

Food and Drink

Putting great food at the heart of your celebration. Led by the Head Chef, they create menus that showcase the very best of Kent’s Garden of England, using estate-grown produce alongside ingredients from trusted local suppliers who share their values.

However you choose to dine, a relaxed sit-down meal, generous grazing tables, a full-on feast or late-night wood-fired bites, our experienced team brings a thoughtful, delicious approach to event dining. From orchard-inspired canapés and bespoke cocktails to elegant three-course banquets, every menu is crafted with passion, provenance and creativity. As part of their B Corp journey, they’re proud to champion local, low-waste and eco-conscious dining. Expect vibrant flavours, beautifully presented plates and warm, attentive service, all rooted in their care for people, place and planet.

Whether you imagine sharing feasts beneath the oak beams of Thorne Barn, intimate dining in the Glass Courtyard, or relaxed bites under the stars, they’ll help you create a dining experience that feels effortless, generous and entirely your own.

Raise a glass, savour every flavour, and let the food and drink tell your story – deliciously.

Wedding Packages

At Chapel House Estate, every wedding is designed around you. They offer a fully bespoke approach, tailoring each celebration to your vision, style and story.

Chapel House

Chapel House sits at the heart of the estate, nestled between the Wild Apple Orchard and the Old Malt Granary. Sleeping up to ten guests across four double bedrooms and a charming bunk room, it offers a truly characterful stay. Dating back to 1290, this Grade II-listed flint and stone chapel has been beautifully reimagined as a contemporary luxury residence.

Upstairs, the elegant honeymoon suite features a freestanding copper bath with uninterrupted views across the terrace and gardens.

Nine Hideaway Lodges

The nine contemporary pine lodges are open-plan with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open onto the west paddock. They offer a compact but luxurious place to relax, complemented by magnificent, far-reaching views of nature.

Cottages

They offer two charming cottages nestled just outside the estate. Both are ideal for small groups to relax and unwind before or after a day of celebrations.

Thorne Cottage sleeps up to four guests and offers a cosy, comfortable retreat just moments from the estate.

Chapel Cottage sleeps up to six guests and provides a relaxed, home-from-home space for families or small groups to unwind.

The Little Details That Make a Big Difference

A dedicated Wedding Coordinator is on hand to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your day runs effortlessly from start to finish.

Perfectly placed yet wonderfully private, the estate is just a five-minute taxi ride from Thanet Parkway station and under an hour from London St Pancras.

A private helicopter pad offers a truly memorable arrival or departure.

As the evening draws to a close, our Caravelle provides a comfortable and stylish way to carry up to six guests home.

Chapel House Estate is proudly pet-friendly, welcoming four-legged guests as part of the celebration.

Sustainability sits at the heart of everything they do, from wildflower planting and habitat creation to sourcing local, seasonal produce. A perfect example is the estate beehives, which produce organic honey.

  • Happy Couple

    From the moment we first visited Chapel House Estate in the summer to our New Year’s Eve wedding, we fell completely in love with this stunning venue, topped off by kindness and care shown by everyone. Every member of the team was incredible, with a special mention to Loz, who we couldn't have asked for more from to be the person in charge of our wedding day, she was fantastic in every possible way and made us feel so calm, supported, special, and fun (!) throughout. The venue is gorgeous, even in the heart of winter it felt warm, intimate and truly magical. The food was brilliant and is still being talked about by our guests. Thank you to everyone at Chapel House Estate for creating the most perfect day of our lives. We will treasure it forever and recommend CHE wholeheartedly to anyone dreaming of an extraordinary wedding in a beautiful setting with top tier experts.

  • Louis and Lauren

    We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Chapel House Estate this December, and it’s easy to see why they are an award-winning venue. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with so many beautiful spaces to enjoy. We were able to make full use of everything it had to offer — our drinks reception and canapés were held in the Glass Courtyard, the ceremony took place in the Granary, and the wedding breakfast and evening party were hosted in Thorne Barn. Our guests were truly impressed by the variety of spaces and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was, not to mention the breathtaking photos it allowed us to capture. Guests were also able to choose their meals in advance, which went down a treat and made the dining experience feel really personal and thoughtful. However, it’s the staff who truly make Chapel House so special. They go above and beyond, both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself, to ensure everything runs perfectly. We had Jade as our wedding coordinator, and she was nothing short of exceptional. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly, put us completely at ease, and even came to the rescue with wardrobe malfunctions and childcare. Jade made us feel genuinely cared for — she even remembered my wife’s birthday (the day after our wedding) and brought her a card. It’s just one example of her incredible attention to detail. We honestly can’t thank Jade and the entire team enough — you are amazing. We would highly recommend Chapel House Estate as a wedding venue. You and your guests will absolutely love it.

  • Kate and Andy

    Amazing venue and staff. Absolutely made our wedding incredible.
    We had the pleasure of getting married at Chapel House Estate recently. I cannot praise the staff enough. Keeley and Jade were amazing with the planning of our twilight wedding. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning. I came across it by chance and am so pleased I did. As soon as we looked around we knew this is where we wanted to get married. The whole day ran so smoothly from start to finish. The food was amazing, we had canapés after our ceremony in the gorgeous courtyard area then a buffet meal as we had a twilight wedding and the stone baked pizzas in the evening. There was so much food bursting with flavour so much variety to choose from and they catered well for our friends and family with intolerances. Our friends and family were overwhelmed with the venue and staff and all had the most amazing day. I cannot praise or recommend Chapel House Estate enough. Thank you for everything x

    BEST DAY EVER!!
    From the very first time we visited Chapel House Estate, we knew it was the one. Every corner of the venue felt like it had been designed with love and intention, and we instantly felt at home. The blend of the beautifully restored Old Malt Granary with the modern elegance of The Thorne Barn was everything we had dreamed of and more. The addition of the Glass Courtyard was the cherry on top, adding even more wow-factor to an already perfect setting. From the moment we booked, the entire planning process was seamless. While many talk about how stressful wedding planning can be, our experience was the complete opposite and that’s entirely down to your incredible team. Every step, from our initial tour to our final meeting, was handled with such care, calm, and professionalism. You made it feel effortless. Every staff member we met, whether during tours, open days, or planning meetings was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It was so reassuring to see how much your team loves the venue, and it only added to our excitement each time we visited. As for the big day itself, it was flawless. Everything ran like clockwork, and we know that’s thanks to the hard work happening behind the scenes. Keeley, you were with us from the moment we arrived at 8am until the sun had set and the party was in full swing. You are truly an angel - calm, kind, and completely in control. We feel so lucky to have had you by our side. For anyone who is fortunate enough to have you as their coordinator, they’re in the very best hands. Chapel House Estate didn’t just give us a wedding, it gave us memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We are endlessly grateful for the love, care, and attention you poured into every detail. You gave us the day we had always dreamed of, and we will never forget it. To anyone considering this venue: stop searching. This is the one. You will not find a more beautiful place or a more incredible team. With all our love and heartfelt thanks.

  • Dreams do come true J&R

    My husband and I recently got married at Chapel House Estate. It was the most wonderful day. Myself and my bridesmaids enjoyed the morning getting ready in the bridal lodge before heading to the main house to put our dresses on whilst my fiancé and his groomsmen landed into Chapel House Estate via helicopter. We married in The Old Malt Granary with a singer, candles and rose petals it was honestly breath taking so much so that I cried my way down the aisle. We enjoyed canapes and drinks in the Walled Courtyard with all of our family and friends before heading up to Thorne Barn where we all enjoyed the most amazing wedding breakfast cooked by chef Sammy and his team. We then danced the night away. The staff at Chapel House were fantastic from the day we booked our wedding right the way through to our wedding day. All of our guests absolutely loved Chapel House, like us they thought it was the most wonderful day and venue.

  • Our Wedding S&G

    We booked our wedding earlier this year, the communication and commitment to deliver our perfect day right from the start was incredible. Sam & the team of staff really are a great bunch. The day itself was absolutely perfect. We had pre drinks in the courtyard as guests arrived, were Married in the Orchard, Canapes & Fizz in the stunning gardens, and the Wedding Breakfast and party in the Barn. The day went along at a beautiful pace and we didn't once feel flustered or rushed. Our family and friends all commented on how incredible to the venue was, and how it made such a wonderful day even more special. A truly beautiful place, with a team of staff that are incredibly attentive and professional. We absolutely loved it!

  • Beautiful wedding venue A & T

    Recently had the absolute pleasure of having our intimate wedding at Chapel House. It truly was the most amazing experience getting ready in the main house itself in the morning and walking down the aisle through the beautiful Wild Apple Orchard, where the Oak Gazebo had been beautifully presented with flowers and our most treasured family and friends. Newly married, we enjoyed champagne on the lawn with our guests, followed by a phenomenal Afternoon Tea in the No9 restaurant in the private Walled Courtyard. The staff at Chapel House were truly amazing, ensuring our day went smoothly and without any problems - we could not fault them. The coordinator, Sam was just amazing with ensuring the planning of our day was how we dreamed and she worked with the most amazing vendors to bring our magical day to life. The grounds of the Estate are absolutely gorgeous and are truly picturesque, with an abundance of choices for photographs. To stay as a married couple within the main house, was absolutely amazing. The honeymoon suite is gorgeous, with the freestanding copper bath in the bedroom and beautiful shower, we were spoilt for choice. The balcony was like a secret bliss of paradise and perfect for morning coffees. We felt totally at home throughout our stay and the staff left us to be alone in the house, with no-one disturbing us except for a delivery of croissants and natural yoghurt and granola in the mornings (Yum!). Would definitely recommend to any future couple looking to have the wedding of their dreams!
