Magical twilight weddings
in the Old Apple Orchard
Celebrate as the sun goes down
Experience the magic of a twilight wedding on the estate. JMW Turner famously said the skies over Thanet were the loveliest in Europe and it’s these soft pinks and golds that transform our stunning estate into a romantic wonderland.
Exchange your vows under the soft glow of dusk, giving a magical moment of serenity as the sun sets over our 35 acres of considered landscaping and the Wild Apple Orchard.
You might choose to celebrate your twilight vows with an intimate drinks reception and canapés reception in the Secret Garden, Dew Pond Lawn or Walled Courtyard. Or change things up and go all-out with dancing at Thorne Barn.
Best of all, you can keep your loved ones together as up to 34 people can sleep on-site in our luxe lodgings, which means you get to re-live the evening together over breakfast in the morning.
Tried & trusted
We work with the brightest and the best when it comes to local suppliers for your special touches. Our Little Green Book is a well-thumbed collection of all our favourites, and it’s all yours.
From golden hour
to Champagne tower!
After your dream twilight ceremony, you’re free to follow your heart’s desire for your reception. You get to have the the food, music and mood you desire.
Whether it’s a specially-selected tasting menu and signature cocktails for your loved ones, or Champagne and sharing platters of picky bits, we’ll make it happen.
All this will be accompanied by immaculate service, as it should be, from a trusted team that bring a gentle energy and flow to your evening.
