- NN & M01/02/2025Fantastic time we have experienced at BHP Fantastic time we have experienced at BHPBoth Natalie and I want to express our gratitude to yourself and your staff for the fantastic time we have experienced at BHP since our first visit to arrange our wedding back in April 2024. The wedding coordinators have been nothing short of first class and we could not have wished for a safer pair of hands in Wendy and Neil, who have guided us through our journey. In the lead up to the day as well as on the day, they have been fantastic. Every time we visited, we were greeted as friends and nothing was too difficult for them to arrange or offer advice. All the staff we interacted with on both the day before the service (as we stayed overnight) and the day of the service displayed impeccable manners and service. There are too many people to mention, but all the reception girls (Debbie, Michelle and Ina), along with Joshy, Ben, Drew and Chris in hospitality and Fallon on the wedding day itself, could not have been more welcoming, polite and helpful. With the help of all your staff, our wedding day went without a hitch and we cannot thank you guys enough. There were many compliments from our guests on the Hotel itself, the delicious food served as well as the professionalism of all the staff on the day before and day itself. We can’t wait to come back and stay to enjoy your hospitality once again.

- MMr & Mrs Grove14/09/2021Our Wedding on Tuesday 7th September 2021Our Wedding on Tuesday 7th September 2021Dear Emma, I hope this finds you well. Pete & I would like to thank all the staff involved in making our wedding day such a perfect day. Emma, you were amazing throughout with dealing with all the date changes due to Coronavirus, your organisational skills were fabulous and we didn’t have to worry about anything as we knew you had it in hand. Even coming in on your Saturday off to meet with us and finalise everything, we cannot thank you enough. On our actual wedding day, Jane was really lovely and looked after us so well whilst we were having our make-up done in the garden room. Ella was amazing, she was so attentive and looked after our needs perfectly; as did the bar staff and the gentleman who did our wedding music during our ceremony (sorry we cannot remember their names, but please pass on our thanks). Even the two ladies on reception were lovely, we believe that it was one of the ladies first day, again, we cannot remember their names but they were so helpful and took a wonderful photo of us all on the steps of Brandshatch Place, they also helped with the taxi that was picking up our parents, one showed the taxi driver to the disabled area so the parents wouldn’t have to use the steps and the other lady took the flowers….so helpful. What was really nice, when the staff finished their shift they came and said goodnight and wished us all well, such a lovely gesture, thank you. The next morning when we arrived for breakfast, the lady who served us (Caroline or Catherine…sorry we tried so hard to remember everyone’s name! Her daughter works on reception) was again, so attentive, my goodness we had a breakfast fit for a king 😊. If we have missed anybody, please accept our apologies. We just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts you made our wedding day absolutely perfect. With love & Best Wishes Dear Emma, I hope this finds you well.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
The best weddings we host are those where couples choose ‘exclusive use’ of Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa. It allows you to truly make the venue your home for the duration of your celebration, using it as a blank canvas to create something completely personal, unique, and unforgettable.
We’ve seen some truly beautiful transformations. One wedding, in particular, dressed the front veranda and terrace courtyard steps with an abundance of flowers, candles, and fairy lights—creating a breathtaking atmosphere. As evening fell, the entire space looked simply magical.
Exclusive use gives you the freedom to bring your vision to life in every detail, and we’re here to help make that happen.
Warm regards,
The Wedding Team
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
One piece of advice we always love to share—take a moment for yourselves as a couple on the day to pause and reflect on everything that’s happening.
The day goes by so quickly, so try to soak it all in together, even if it’s just for a few quiet minutes. Those little moments often become the most special memories.
Warm regards,
The Wedding Team
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
A lovely personal touch that always stands out—having a couple’s pet dog as the ring bearer.
It brings real character and warmth to the ceremony, and often ends up being one of the most talked-about and memorable moments of the day. At Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, it’s exactly these kinds of thoughtful, individual details that help turn a wedding into something truly unique and reflective of the couple themselves.

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
At Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, the popular Boardroom bay window offers an elegant indoor option with plenty of natural light and character, while the front lawn provides a beautiful outdoor setting for warmer months and finer weather.
This flexibility means your ceremony can always feel perfectly matched to the season and your vision for the day.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
At Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, we treat every couple as our VIPs—because on your wedding day, you truly are the stars of the show.
Our team goes above and beyond to ensure you feel celebrated, looked after, and completely at ease from the moment you arrive. It’s all about creating an experience where you can relax and enjoy being in the spotlight, while we take care of every detail behind the scenes.
What’s your favourite canapé?
Caramelised onion and goat’s cheese crostini is a beautifully balanced canapé—rich, sweet onions slowly cooked down until soft and golden, paired with creamy, tangy goat’s cheese on a crisp toasted base.
It’s the kind of bite-sized option that works perfectly for wedding receptions and drinks receptions, offering a warm, elegant flavour that guests tend to remember and go back for.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Bacon baps are always a winner—simple, satisfying, and exactly what guests tend to crave after a few hours on the dancefloor.
They work brilliantly as a late-night snack at weddings, especially after the energy of the evening has built up. Warm, comforting, and easy to eat while still chatting or celebrating, they’re one of those crowd-pleasing touches that often get remembered just as much as the main meal.
At Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, it’s these thoughtful late-evening additions that help keep the celebration going right through to the last dance.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The Georgian mansion house at Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa retains many of its original architectural features, bringing a sense of timeless elegance that blends beautifully with its more contemporary interiors.
Set within the Kentish countryside, the venue is surrounded by landscaped grounds that change with the seasons, offering a naturally picturesque backdrop all year round. This combination of historic character inside and scenic outdoor space makes it a setting with plenty for guests to explore and enjoy, whatever the occasion.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
At Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, the team is highly flexible and takes real pride in helping couples bring their vision to life.
There’s a strong focus on collaboration, working closely with each couple to shape a wedding day that feels personal, thoughtful, and true to their ideas. That supportive approach is what allows so many unique and memorable celebrations to come together so smoothly.
