Please help - hall hire in kent

Hello

Not sure about venue's in maidstone as we are in Ashford. Have you tried www.akentishceremony.com

Which hotel were you originally looking at? i know there's a few in maidstone - a best western for one. there's also the king charles hotel in gillingham, though i have no idea about pricing.

have you also thought about a function room above a pub maybe? i don't know maidstone or medway very well but i'm sure you could find a fab pub with a function room for hire.

have a look at a kentish ceremony - i used that to find a venue.

Thanks for your replies.

I have looked on the website a kentish ceremony and emailed a few of the venues, including the King Charles Hotel - trouble is most actual hotels want you to have a package - which is what we need to avoid. May need to start looking at pub halls and social clubs.

Any more ideas greatfully recieved x

Hi,

I'm sorry I don't know Maidstone very well, I have only lived in Kent for just over a year. I hope you find something, I know in my village we have a hall, it has a kitchen and when decorated looks great, so they do exist !!

Will this link help ?

Good luck in your search ?

We had our engagement party at the King Charles Hotel and it was lovely. If I remember rightly we didn't have to pay any money for the hall hire but we just had to hire bar staff for the evening (something like £60 for one member of staff and if you had over 100 ppl you had to have 2 members of staff). Depends if you want them to provide food but we provided our own and we had a really good evening.

For our wedding reception we are going to Beechen Hall. It is in Walderslade (down from Bridgewood Manor). To hire it it costs about 310 for the whole Saturday (something like that). It comes with a kitchen and big car park and my SIL2B had her wedding reception there 5 years ago and she said it was fantastic (hence why we are using it!). So as long as you dont need it on 1st November then I would recommend that hall!

Hi. I know you prob have but have you checked with all of your local golf clubs. The one where I am having my wedding reception does not have a minimum guest requirement, and have also given us £100 discount for having the meal in a smaller room to be extended for the evening reception. I did not have to choose to have a full sit down either. I could have had a bbq or buffet for approx 10-15/head. (its in Ash though, so maybe a bit out of your way).

The only other suggestion I have, which I looked into was a pub called the Moat in Wrotham, where they would section off part of the pub, and part of the garden for you. They could either do a sit down for approx £20/head without drinks or bbq for £10 a head. Sorry, I dont know any in the areas which you asked for, but wrotham is not too far away from maidstone (is it?!)

Hi kentish bride

were getting married at upchurch river valley golf club next september ..its just outside medway (were in rainham) were not having a sit down meal either just an evening buffet (our budget just wouldnt stretch) they also have a nice veranda with seating for smokers that they decorate with lanterns . they dont charge for the hall just for the buffet and they provide all the linen, crockery and serviettes in your choice of colour etc.

it might be worth giving them a call the lady we spoke to was wendy the wedding advisor.

hope that helps
