Salomons Estate grounds with historic Victorian mansion

Exclusive Use Wedding Venuesin Kent

The entire estate, yours to celebrate. Complete privacy, unlimited possibilities.

What is Exclusive Use?

Exclusive use means having the entire wedding venue, grounds, and accommodation to yourselves for the duration of your celebration. No other events, no other guests, no sharing - just you, your loved ones, and complete control over your wedding day.

At Salomons Estate, exclusive use gives you all 36 acres of grounds, 8 ceremony and reception spaces, 47 bedrooms, 6 cottages, and every corner of this historic Victorian mansion. It's the ultimate in wedding privacy and flexibility, transforming your celebration from a single-day event into a destination wedding experience.

While exclusive use typically commands a premium, the value is extraordinary: complete privacy, extended access times, freedom to personalise every space, and the ability to create a true weekend celebration rather than a few rushed hours.

Benefits of Exclusive Use

Why exclusive use transforms your wedding from an event into an unforgettable experience

Complete Privacy

No other events or guests on-site. The entire venue and grounds are yours exclusively, creating an intimate atmosphere where you can truly relax and be yourselves.

Extended Access

Start preparations early, celebrate late into the night, and continue festivities the next morning. No strict time limits or pressure to vacate for the next event.

Total Personalisation

Decorate every space to your vision. Transform rooms, create unique areas, and personalise the estate without restrictions or having to share spaces with other events.

Guest Experience

Guests can explore the grounds freely, relax in multiple spaces, and feel like they're part of an exclusive destination celebration rather than just attending a wedding.

Accommodation Control

With 47 bedrooms and 6 cottages at Salomons, keep up to 110 guests on-site. Assign rooms to key family, create a true weekend gathering, and eliminate travel concerns.
