Stone Court House is probably the most romantic, intimate and private wedding venue in Kent County.
Stone Court House is a grand Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse in central Maidstone, nestled amidst the scenic Kent countryside, a mere 30 miles or one hour from London. With elements that hark back to the medieval period 700 years ago, it provides a sumptuous and romantic backdrop ideal for an intimate wedding. Its historic charm is evident in features such as Tudor fireplaces, medieval walls, Knights in shining armour and early to late Georgian design with four-metre-high ceilings, grand doors, windows, and ornate ceiling cornicing, all contributing to a uniquely magical ambiance for your special day.
No other wedding venue marries the rich tapestry of English history with the seclusion offered by Stone Court House, formerly the private abode of Lady Sackville of Knole House and the Crown Judges' Lodgings. The exquisite panelled rooms, filled with antique furnishings, art, and majestic chandeliers, add to the grandeur.
The venue boasts three spectacular function rooms and an extensive bridal suite.
Prices start from as little as £1,298 and we can cater from small to large weddings.
Additionally, Stone Court House was awarded TripAdvisor's Travellers Choice Awards Winner in 2024, awarded from millions of reviews to the top 10% of hotels in the world. We can accommodate up to twelve guests, not including the Bridal suite which can accommodate a further six, meaning eighteen family and close friends can enjoy Stone Court House well after the wedding reception has long finished, especially with our unique 24-hour alcohol license and being located in Central Maidstone with 116 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and cafes all within a short walk from the house, enabling extended celebrations well past the typical 11pm closing time of other wedding venues. No other venue can offer such exclusive access with choice to make your day even more special.
