Goodnestone Park is an exquisite, Palladian gem surrounded by elegant parkland. Home of the 22nd Lord and Lady FitzWalter, and built in 1704, this beautiful stately home and grounds is the perfect venue for a truly magical wedding. You only have to share your dreams with us and we will make them happen.

The wedding party can walk in the footsteps of Jane Austen, who was a regular visitor to the house. Little wonder the tranquillity and beauty of the house and garden were the inspiration for her masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice.

So, whether you want a large wedding or something more intimate, Goodnestone Park can oblige, and you can be assured that your every need is catered for. Goodnestone Park is located in the heart of Kent, the Garden of England, just 9 miles from Canterbury, 25 miles from Ashford, and 18 miles from the Eurotunnel.

Weekend weddings are available from £13,200 for a 3 night stay including sole occupancy of the whole house (sleeps up to 24 people in 12 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms), civil ceremony can be conducted in the adjoining FitzWalter Room (seats up to 70 people), exclusive use of the beautiful grounds, terrace and lawns and your very own wedding organiser to guide you through the planning process and manage your wedding on the day.

Ceremonies can also be held in the stunning, 12th century local village Church of the Holy Cross (this is organised in addition to the package) just a few minutes stroll from the house through the picturesque walled gardens.

We hold a directory of highly recommended suppliers of marquees, exquisite caterers and luxurious spa and beauty services that can share with you, but if  you wish to bring in your own suppliers we would request to meet and approve them before your wedding.

Goodnestone Park is steeped in history, pretty as a picture, in a secluded private spot – what more could you ask for on your special day?
