Bilsington Priory

Amazing venue with the best team! As a wedding photographer I get to see a lot of venues and how they achieve the experiences for their couples. Bilsington Priory has the best team of highly experienced wedding professionals who love what they do and go all out to make sure the couples are at the heart of everything they do. The venue is simply stunning it's a photographer's dream. The history of the priory really comes through with it's beautifully crafted architecture and grounds. I really love the style of the bridal suit, it's got a modern boutique look that lends itself to capturing elegant morning preparation images in a relaxed way. This is a dream venue I would urge any couples looking for an amazingly warm and elegant experience for their wedding to take a look.

My Wife and I got Married here. Beautiful estate with lovely gardens. Absolutely brilliant staff so friendly and want everything to be as perfect as possible. Delicious heavenly food. We had one of the best days of life here. Thank you so much for everything you done for us.

My wife and I got married here in September 2016. This venue was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad it did! From day 1 the team were professional and supportive. We had so many questions and ideas - all of which they were happy to discuss with us in the level of detail we wanted.Planning the day was a breeze with everyone involved from venue dimensions, decorations, food, drinks etc. every question was answered with detail and helpful suggestions. Libby and Rob were incredibly flexible and open to any ideas or suggestions we had for our very quirky wedding!

This venue ticks all the boxes with the chapel upstairs giving you a traditional feel, the beautiful bar with its checkered dance floor downstairs & pretty marquee all set in stunning surroundings. You feel like you’re a million miles away from anywhere. Everything is in-house so you don’t waste time & get stressed looking for suppliers. The florist gave me exactly what I wanted, the catering company was outstanding with people commenting on the food & servers never leaving you with an empty glass. & as for Zena & Libby-they made me feel so at ease in the build up that I didn’t worry about a thing. The day went exactly as I wanted it & that’s down to the professionalism & expertise of everyone involved with the Priory. They won Best Heritage Wedding Venue of the Year at the Kent Wedding Awards this year & it was completely deserved. A magical place that you can revisit for afternoon tea or stay in the B & B in the Edwardian Manor House. Highly recommended.

We got married here on the 8th July 2017. It is a truly magical venue, owned by the beautiful Libby Lawson who's laid back approach and can-do attitude won our hearts (and money!!). Nothing was too much trouble, and they were very accommodating with our special requests. Totally flexible, whatever we wanted, they did, no questions asked (or raised eyebrows!) and on the day they really pulled it off. All of our guests were very well looked after, the food amazing, they were always there but you'd never know it. A perfect example of total professionals, without the arrogance. Everyone has commented on what a spectacular venue it was, they were well fed and those who spoke to Libby loved her as much as we did. Please put your trust in the team here at St Augustine's Priory...we did and they exceeded all of our expectations and more. They really know what they are doing...and some! Thank you Libby, Zena, Rob and the team for making our special day really memorable for all the right reasons. You were fabulous. I hope to be able to visit the sunken garden to have another blessing in 10 years time! Photo by jasondoddphotography
