WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AT CHILSTON PARK
Where is Chilston Park?
Chilston Park Hotel is a Grade I listed, 17th-century country house hotel set within 77 acres of stunning Kent parkland near Lenham, just outside Maidstone. A striking example of Georgian architecture with its red-brick façade, tall sash windows, and symmetrical design, the hotel has long been one of Kent's most elegant wedding venues, and it's easy to see why.
Offering both a choice of period rooms for an indoor ceremony and a picturesque garden gazebo for outdoor vows, you'll have a dreamy ceremony whatever the English weather has in store for your wedding day.
