Philpots Manor is a beautiful Grade II listed sixteenth century manor house nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, once home to Lord Mayor of London, Sir Thomas de Philipot, and thought to be an original part of the Hever Estate.

This unique venue is available for exclusive hire for your special day and offers unique facilities including log fires, Italian marquetry and oak beams in almost every room.

The Dining Room has a 16th century coffered ceiling and stained glass windows where you can enjoy your wedding breakfast in the peace of the Kent countryside. This room has a seating capacity of 40.

The Civil Ceremony takes place in the Tudor hall which has a galleried landing where your guests can view the whole proceedings. You may prefer to use the landing to house a string quartet or an atmospheric jazz band - depending upon your taste.

The Hall looks delightful when decorated with fresh flowers designed by our personal florist. We can organise this for you as well as musicians and a full bridal outfitters who will custom make everything for the bridal party. We can also arrange for a beautician, hairdresser and even an aromotherapist to visit you at the Manor on the day.

There are two other reception rooms, one of which has a fully licensed bar for your own exclusive use. In the summertime, you can enjoy the extensive grounds, which are totally private and exclusive to you for your wedding.

Our dedicated chef works throughout the day preparing every morsel of your chosen menu from the first canapé to coffee and petit fours, by hand, to the standard that has earned him a prestigious reputation for excellence. Importantly, it is beautifully and tastefully presented and efficiently served by our well trained, friendly and hard working staff.

Our bridal suite is exquisite. With its four poster bed, open fireplace and en-suite bathroom, it is the perfect place to finish your wedding day.

    

There are a further two bedrooms at the Manor where your specials guests can stay the night. Other guests can travel to a nearby hotel by mini-bus for which we have arranged discounted rates.

We have some of the oldest and most attractive gardens in Kent with a range of outdoor furniture and patio heaters to keep you and your guests comfortable, making it perfect for photographers to capture every moment on a balmy summer's day.

In winter, we welcome guests with roaring log fires throughout, that compliment the house's lavish feel perfectly. When all your guests have gone, you can retire to your suite, where you can relax by firelight in the privacy of your bedroom.

Our Manor House offers the grandeur of a stately home with a warm, welcoming and sincere atmosphere.
