Your Kent Wedding - July/August 2020 (Issue 91)

LEAFY HAYNE HOUSE 01303 262 555 | www.haynehouse.co.uk Located close to the beautiful and historical village of Saltwood, nestled in the serene and tranquil setting of its immaculately landscaped private family estate, is Hayne House. It’s a venue that offers a wonderful combination of traditional country house charms, coupled with the sophistication of the ultra-modern. Purpose built in 2018, the Orangery at Hayne House was conceived and constructed with the dreams of its couples in mind. Fronted by uninterrupted floor to ceiling French doors and stunning overhead lanterns, the space forms a natural link to the outdoors. Light and airy, it’s like being seated in the beautiful gardens once the doors are flung open, offering a wonderfully flexible, contemporary, stylish and eco-friendly venue for any style of wedding. There are three stunning ceremony areas to choose from including the new outdoor pavilion, and the Orangery, also with the option for blessings anywhere the gardens. All spaces seat up to 120 loved ones. Dine in style in the Orangery with 120 for the wedding breakfast and 150 for the evening reception, complete with bespoke hand- crafted bi-folding doors to separate the dining and ceremony areas if required. What’s more, alongside the Orangery sits the lovingly restored Hayne House itself, the former Hunting Lodge of Edward VIII. There are five ensuite bedrooms here, plus a sumptuous bridal suite. There’s also another bed and breakfast on site with a further five bedrooms, meaning parties of up to 21 guests can stay the night.
