Named Finalist in the 2025 Beautiful South Tourism Awards

We’re delighted to share some exciting news, Chapel House Estate has been selected as a Finalist in the 2025 Beautiful South Tourism Awards for Wedding Venue of the Year! This prestigious recognition celebrates the very best in tourism and hospitality across the South East, and we’re honoured to be recognised among such inspiring venues.

At Chapel House Estate, every wedding is designed to be completely unique, a true reflection of each couple’s story, style, and vision. Our 35-acre private estate offers a world of possibilities, from romantic outdoor ceremonies beneath the wild apple trees in our orchard, to elegant receptions in Thorne Barn with its soaring beams and countryside charm, or intimate celebrations in the Glass Courtyard, filled with natural light and views of the gardens.

Every space has been lovingly designed to create a seamless flow from day to night, where guests can wander through blooming gardens, enjoy cocktails on the terrace, and dine on estate-inspired dishes crafted by our talented chefs.

We take immense pride in curating experiences that feel effortless yet extraordinary, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Kent countryside. Whether it’s a relaxed summer celebration filled with laughter and lawn games or a candlelit winter wedding glowing with warmth and romance, every detail is thoughtfully considered to make your day truly unforgettable.

This nomination is a true reflection of our incredible team who bring each wedding to life, from our dedicated coordinators and talented chefs to our estate gardeners and housekeepers. It also celebrates the amazing couples who choose Chapel House Estate as the place to begin their forever.

The Beautiful South Tourism Awards ceremony will take place later this year, where we’ll discover whether we’ve received Gold, Silver or Bronze. Whatever the result, we’re so proud to have our work recognised at this level – it’s a wonderful celebration of the dedication, creativity, and passion that go into every event we host.

Stay tuned for updates from the awards night!
