Knowlton Court: The Country Estate

Knowlton Court is a family-run country estate of some 2,100 acres located at the heart
                            of Kent, the Garden of England.

Whether you choose to celebrate beneath the sunshine in our breath-taking gardens
  or wrapped in the candle-lit opulence of winter, Knowlton provides a stunning
                 backdrop for the perfect wedding celebration.

        Welcoming you to Knowlton for your wedding would be our pleasure.

Knowlton’s parkland and
    surrounding countryside create
       a unique wedding setting.

     Our Great Park Marquee overlooks open
  countryside, offering uninterrupted views of the
estate, and seats up to 150 people. We have hosted
weddings for 500 here at Knowlton and can extend
    the marquee to suit, providing a wonderful,
 luxurious space in which to entertain your guests.

  Formal dining, summer BBQs, luxury picnics or
  Hog Roasts, can all be accommodated, as can
      TiPi settings or other marquee styles.

 We take pride in the fact that each wedding and
celebration that takes place at Knowlton is unique.
   From the archetypal English country-house
wedding celebration to a festival party vibe, we will
 ensure that your wedding, event or celebration is
                 one to remember.

                                 The Knowlton Bride

    When you choose Knowlton for your wedding, we make a number of rooms in our
   stunning home exclusively yours for the most important and special day of your life.

    Summer brides planning a large wedding can choose to make a breath-taking
   entrance in our formal gardens and exchange vows beneath the romantic setting
                           of our hand-crafted oak pavilion.

       Champagne can be enjoyed on the Pavilion Lawn, and the breakfast within
                             our luxurious marquee.

The Knowlton Wedding

  The Pavilion, which was designed by our family and hand-crafted from Estate oak, is
 situated on one of our sweeping lawns and offers an intimate and enchanting place in
                               which to exchange vows.

  Guests could also choose to marry in one of our local parish churches, Holy Cross
Church, Goodnestone, and All Saints Church, Chillenden. Each is within a short distance
                               of the Knowlton estate.

Vast, with high ceilings, the Great Hall at Knowlton accommodates 100 guests and is fully
licensed for Civil Wedding Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships. An elegant room, perfectly
suited for any celebration or ceremony, the Great Hall is a sumptuous setting at the heart
   of our historic home. St Clement’s is a delightful and romantic private chapel here at
   Knowlton and we would be delighted to arrange a blessing to follow a civil ceremony.

Creating a perfect menu for your special day

     Our partnerships with local and London-based caterers are well-established and,
       together with our wedding coordinator, they will create menus to remember.

  You might prefer to enjoy a festival feel and bring in pop-up food stalls such as fish and
   chips or a Hog Roast for your evening celebrations, and we are more than happy to
                     accommodate this and help with arrangements.

   From the finest champagne for toasts to the perfect table wine to complement your
wedding breakfast, we can tailor a wine list and bar offering to make your party go with a swing.

Make the celebration last for days

We would be pleased to welcome your bridal
  party to our family home and our brides
always tell us that it is the family atmosphere
   of Knowlton which makes it so special.

   We have a number of properties within
the Estate, which can accommodate up to 64
 guests. Many of our bridal parties choose to
 host friends and family at Knowlton for their
                celebrations

 Our warm and welcoming accommodation
  includes the delightful Dower House and
 many families choose to take advantage of
    all that this ten-bedroom home has to
 offer - making the celebration last for days!

     From a toast to the groom and his
 attendants on the eve of the wedding and
 the delight of preparing the bride and her
bridesmaids for the day ahead, or watching
 children play on the lawns in the summer
 sunshine or a getting together for a post-
 wedding feast in the garden of the Dower
 House, Knowlton is the perfect place for a
              family wedding.

   The Knowlton Estate has plenty of other
    accommodation including The Lodge,
a sumptuous four-bedroom house at the foot
      of Knowlton’s sweeping driveway.

The Knowlton Bridal Suite

  The Knowlton Suite comprises four spacious double rooms across one floor of the
   main house and is available to our bride and grooms to use as they wish for the
 duration of their celebrations. The Suite has been fully modernised and is presented
with every comfort to accommodate the most discerning of guests in luxury and style.

A romantic bridal suite, there are four poster beds and spacious walk-in showers, and
this beautifully appointed accommodation is also the ideal place for the bride and her
                      attendants to prepare for the celebrations.
