Your Kent Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 103)

FRASERS OF EGERTON Set in the heart of rural Kent, Frasers of Egerton sits within a 300-acre estate. Oozing luxury and charm, this private eco estate is available for exclusive hire for weddings of all sizes, as well as other celebrations and events. Surrounded by stunning scenery and an abundance of nature, there are a multitude of photo opportunities to choose from including meadows of wildflowers, rustic rural landscapes and spectacular sunsets. Ceremonies are hosted in the romantically-decorated Frasers Barn, a Kentish oak-framed timber building. After the “I dos” your guests will move through to the Stag’s Barn for drinks and canapés, while you and your new spouse head off to have your photos taken. Later on, you’ll all adjourn back to the main timbered barn for the celebrations. Large weddings can be hosted in Frasers’ own marquee, which is located on the lawn surrounded by picturesque rose gardens. In addition, smaller boutique weddings are also welcomed. A wedding here is a truly Kentish affair with all of the food and drink served sourced within 30 miles and much of the produce being fresh from Frasers’ own farm and kitchen garden. On-site accommodation is available, sleeping up to 20 guests in three beautiful period buildings with nine of the suites located on ground-floor level. Further accommodation on a neighbouring farm can provide another five double rooms. HOLIDAY INN ASHFORD NORTH A20 Holiday Inn Ashford North A20 offers a variety of event spaces, both indoor and outdoor. It’s also licensed for civil ceremonies, meaning you can host your entire day here. You have a choice of spaces in which to say “I do,” including an outdoor option in the shape of a charming pergola. Here, you can exchange your vows against a beautifully verdant backdrop before enjoying a relaxed drinks reception as you take advantage of the many surrounding scenic spots. Inside, the Cambridge Suite can host the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening bash. It has its own bar and the windows surrounding the room make it light and airy. Large patio doors leading out onto a small terrace along with gazebo can be utilised for the ceremony, or just as a lovely outdoor space to use throughout the day. The Oxford Suite is ideal for intimate weddings. Also blessed with large windows it’s flooded with light and can be found on the ground floor.
