When it comes to tying the knot, why settle for just one day of celebration?
A wedding weekend offers you and your guests the chance to escape, unwind, and savour every magical moment together- and Kent, known as the Garden of England, is the perfect place for it. From rolling countryside and historic estates to charming towns and award-winning dining, it’s the ideal backdrop for a celebration that feels like a mini holiday.
Here’s why Kent, and venues like Salomons Estate, are perfect for your wedding weekend.
A Countryside Escape Without Travelling Too Far
One of the best things about Kent is its accessibility. Just an hour from London, it feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, making it ideal for a wedding that blends convenience with escapism. You’ll find sweeping views, lush woodlands, and historic architecture all within easy reach.
Salomons Estate feels like your own private country retreat. With 36 acres of picturesque grounds, it offers plenty of space for guests to explore, relax, and celebrate.
Stay the Night (or Two!)
The beauty of a wedding weekend lies in slowing everything down. Rather than rushing from ceremony to reception, guests can settle in for the full experience.
Salomons Estate offers beautiful onsite accommodation, allowing you and your loved ones to stay together under one roof. Imagine waking up on the morning of your wedding surrounded by family and friends, then enjoying breakfast together before the festivities begin. No taxis, no time pressures — just pure joy.
