Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa

In the parish of Wilmington, Kent lies Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa. Ideal to stage your entire wedding celebration from start to finish, the venue provides opportunities to be pampered in the award-winning spa the day before, to host your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception, then stay overnight in one of the 38 luxurious four-star hotel rooms, eight of which are completely separate from the rest of the hotel facility and can be reserved for the exclusive use of your immediate wedding party.

Rowhill Grange can offer a variety of package options to create the perfect wedding, depending on your needs and your budget. Many include accommodation and spa deals, should you wish to stay overnight or take full advantage of the luxury facilities. The experienced events staff are also willing to tailor arrangements differently to create a bespoke wedding package if you so wish.

History

Rowhill Grange was built in the 1860s as a summerhouse for wealthy teenager Alice Alexander. She and her family resided in the area until 1916 when the house was sold to Sir George Cole, the Lord Mayor of London. During the half-century from 1928 it belonged to the Wates family, who planted the striking spruce tree that still stands opposite the main entrance today. In 1978 the summerhouse was sold to a local butcher who proceeded to convert it into a hotel and restaurant. Rowhill Grange changed hands again in 1994 and it became the hotel and spa it is today.

The Victorian coaching house still stands unaltered, showcasing the original clock from Swanley Town Hall. Thus it is now known as the Clockhouse Suite, one of the hotel's wedding sub-venues.

Facilities

Rowhill has two ceremony options and a large reception room.

Gazebo

The beautiful gazebo is ideal for a large outdoor ceremony with 120 guests set against the charming backdrop of Kentish nature.

Civil Ceremony Capacity - 120 Guests

Cottage Suite

If you would prefer an indoor ceremony in an attractive historic building, The Cottage Suite can also comfortably fit 120 guests.

Civil Ceremony Capacity - 120 Guests

Clockhouse Suite

A sense of exclusivity prevails when using the Clockhouse Suite, as it is separate from the main hotel. It has its own facilities and can cater for up to 150 guests for a wedding breakfast and 200 for an evening reception. The marvellous clock originates from Swanley Town Hall and lends the suite an authentic charisma.

Wedding Breakfast Capacity - 120 Guests
Informal Reception Capacity - 200 Guests

Catering And Accommodation

Rowhill Grange employs a team of gifted professional chefs who will work closely with you to create any type of menu you desire. Alternatively, they can suggest a tailor-made wedding breakfast.

There is no need to leave immediately after your reception party, as 38 bedrooms, including a gorgeous bridal suite, are contained within the grounds. Some of the wedding packages are inclusive of hotel rooms or offer generous rates. You are also welcome to indulge in one of Rowhill Grange's deluxe spa packages, which include massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, before or after your wedding celebration; this can be discussed with staff.

    We just wanted to pass on our huge thanks for everything you and your team did for us on our wedding day. It was everything we wanted and more, and we cannot have imagined anything better. Thanks for all your help leading up to the wedding, and the quick replies to silly email questions. So many people commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to … something we agree on too!

    Thank you so much to you and your team who managed to make our day everything we could have wished for. The service and attention to detail was fantastic and we were thoroughly looked after from start to finish.

  • Mr & Mrs Trent, April 2019

    The day was perfect. We would definitely recommend the venue. We wish we could do it all again! The staff were amazing and very attentive. I couldn't fault it. I didn't really have to worry about anything as it was all set up and ready and everything ran so smoothly.

  • Mr & Mrs Game, March 2019

    We had a fantastic time, the whole day went brilliantly. The venue is just beautiful and all of the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was really good.

  • Sophie & David - April 2017

    We had the most fantastic day and would like to thank you and your team for all the arrangements made. The day went without fault and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The staff at Rowhill were very attentive and organised. Everyone commented on how good the food and service was. We will definitely recommend the venue to anyone planning a wedding or a stay for the spa! Thank you once again for making our day such a special one that we and our guests will always remember.

  • Katie &John - December 2016

    Thank you so much for all your hard work in making Saturday so special for John and I. You have been amazing in the lead up to the day and everything I went through with you was actioned with no hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble for you and you put me at ease through the planning phases. The staff throughout the day were just brilliant, our guests were not wanting for anything and they made sure we kept on track throughout the day and night. Please can you thank everyone on behalf of John and I as the day would not have been the same without them. We really had such an amazing day and it was everything we had hoped for and more.

  • Jo & Terry - October 2016

    Terry and I had an amazing day and we cannot thank you and your team enough for all your hard work in making everything run so seamlessly. The day was planned out so well, all staff were extremely professional and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. A special note of thanks goes out to Jodie, Georgia, Samantha and Danny (I hope I remembered his name correctly, apologies if not!) who were absolutely fantastic, DJ Dan who was spot on with the music, and Harry, together with the gentleman who was in charge the latter part of the evening (sorry, I do not recall his name), kept the drinks flowing and ensured everyone was happy.
