Your Kent Wedding - March/April 2024 (Issue 113)

BRADBOURNE HOUSE 01732 897 436 | https://bradbournehousekent.co.uk Surrounded by 20 acres of beautiful parkland, Bradbourne House is a magnificent Queen Anne country house, dating back to 1590. Boasting a tranquil lake, waterfall and thriving grounds, the gardens offers farreaching views over the grounds − the perfect setting for photography. Full of history, this Tudor Grade I listed building holds its original character with elegant interiors. A blend of tranquillity and classic elegance, from the striking teal and gold walls in the Great Hall to the spectacular ornate ceiling in the Committee Room. For vows, the grand Great Hall can seat 100 guests, and has doors that open onto the lawn, giving guests a beautiful view of the grounds. After the wedding breakfast, this room transforms into the evening reception area where you can party the night away with up to 200 loved ones. With stunning bay windows and an ornate golden ceiling adorned with chandeliers, the elegant Drawing Room is ideal for a more intimate wedding for up to 40 guests. With a magnificent view of the parkland and lake, this space can also be used for your drinks and canapé reception, wedding breakfast and evening food reception − it’s also the perfect location for the cutting of your cake. The library, a beautiful oak-panelled room with round feature windows, is ideal for serving the evening buffet, or holding receptions for a smaller gethering of up to 75 guests. Weather permitting, couples have the choice of two outside ceremony settings; the Great Hall steps or the Hatton Fruit Garden are truly unforgettable settings for up to 100 guests. The Hatton Fruit Garden provides a charming Kentish countryside ceremony space with a ‘secret garden’ feel, offering far-reaching views over orchards and the grounds of the house. When tying the knot here, couples benefit from a wedding menu taster session and also a dressing area to utilise.
