BOOK IT!!!
I can’t thank the orangery enough for making our day perfect. I constantly asked weird questions, had stupid requests, and even dropouts and table plan moves on the day and they didn’t even bat an eyelid, they made everything so easy and I am forever grateful. Our day was perfect and the venue is absolutely stunning, all our guests were in awe and I just can’t say enough good things about everything and our team on the day (shoutout Beth Jon and Harvey!). They really are a dream venue with a dream team and everything is just so easy and stunning and ultimately all I can say is if you are thinking about it, book it!!!

The best day ever
We had the most wonderful wedding at The Orangery. Not only are the venue and grounds SO beautiful the staff (in particular Beth, Joe and Callum who were our team) could not have been more helpful throughout the whole planning process and the day of! They really do go above and beyond to make you feel so special. We had so many compliments from our guests on the venue. It was worth every penny!

The best day of our lives
There is so much I could say about this venue, I do not know where to start. The venue and staff are simply amazing. The support we received when planning our wedding was way beyond expectation. The staff are professional and go above ad beyond throughout the planning and on the wedding day. I did not have one concern on the day as everything was handled by the orangery team. The food was outstanding. The venue is a little gem in maidstone and I want to go back, offers so many options of where to have your ceremony and so many locations to take amazing photos. The bridal suite is a must for all brides. We love this venue and if we ever do a renewal of our vows in the far away future we will be back at the orangery. Big thank you to Beth and Bryony absolute gems

Honestly the best place to get married.
We celebrated our wedding on Monday at The Orangery and it was the best day our lives. The venue is stunning. You have to see it to truly appreciate how amazing it is. We were looked after by Beth on the day and she was INCREDIBLE, so attentive, friendly, just all round amazing. As were all the rest of the staff - from morning to night who were constantly checking in on us making sure we were fed, watered, and comfortable. The food was also incredible. They were all there when we needed them but blended into the background when we didn't. From creating our doughnut wedding cake with our little Mochi dog topper on top, to making sure all of our other items were correctly placed, you really helped make sure that we could spend the day enjoying ourselves to the max. I know that both of us were very nervous in the morning and it was so nice that we both were checked up on and made to feel so welcome. We honestly had the best day! The lead up to the wedding was so pain free and we would be happy to recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a magical place to get married.

A perfect venue in every way
We got married at the end of August at the beautiful Orangery in Maidstone. When first looking at venues, we had never stepped foot in the Orangery, when we walked through the gates the stunning scenary hit us immediately. Looking around, there are so many opportunities for beautiful photos. Living in England, we also wanted to make sure that the inside was just as pretty, and it is. The Garden Room has twinkling lights and is so bright and inviting. We could see ourselves getting married here. As the day drew closer the team were there every step of the way, we sent lots of questions and received really fast replies, nothing was too much trouble. The day was everything we wanted and more, our event organiser - Natalia, was superb. Such a lovely lady. We wouldn't have changed one thing. The sun shone so we were able to marry in the Lappa. We've received so many comments about how stunning the venue was. We highly recommend The Orangery to anyone looking for a wedding venue, we wouldn't change a thing.

Couldn’t have been more perfect!
From start to finish we had an excellent experience with the orangery. Weddings can be super stressful (so I hear) but honestly the team at the orangery took every stress away from us. They filled us with confidence from the moment we booked and we had no doubt everything would run just as we imagined. And it did. The grounds were stunning and the wedding went amazingly! Thank you so so much. Highly recommend.
