Here’s dreaming of a last-minute wedding at a stunning venue in Thanet, Kent? Chapel House Estate is the perfect choice if you’re eager to tie the knot without waiting. Our expert team works closely with you to create a beautiful, unforgettable wedding at one of Kent’s most exceptional locations—no matter how tight the timeline.

We love working with couples who embrace spontaneity and are ready to plan their wedding on short notice. Over the years, we’ve mastered the art of bringing dream weddings to life quickly and seamlessly. Yes, it really is possible to organise your perfect day in just a few months—or even sooner! But if you’re one of those “sooner rather than later” couples, it’s essential to establish your priorities, make swift decisions, and focus on what truly matters most to you for your big day.

For last-minute weddings, we recommend considering a Sunday to Thursday ceremony or opting for an off-season date when availability is higher. And don’t forget to ask us about any late cancellations. You never know—your ideal date might just be available!

Let us help you celebrate your love, with no waiting required.

Please note that with last-minute weddings, you might need to be flexible on your choice of suppliers and the time of day you get married.

Kent County Council requires a minimum of 28 days before the proposed marriage date, and you will need to find the time to attend a meeting at the council offer to give your Notice of Intent to Marry, so you will have to be flexible and probably will have to wait for a cancellation.

But don’t worry—short-notice weddings don’t phase us. The team will seamlessly ensure your last-minute wedding flow, from booking to counting down the days to your big day.

Included in your last-minute wedding

  • Use of the Beauty & Treatment Lodge from 8 am.
  • Ceremony space of your choice.
  • Wedding coordinator to help plan your last-minute wedding day.
  • Overnight stay in Chapel House, which includes the Honeymoon Suite (exclusively with Thorne Barn hire)
  • Full bar facilities, including staff.
  • Cutlery and crockery.

Food and drink are to be decided and priced once you have outlined your guest numbers and chosen your wedding breakfast location.
