    We held the first ever wedding at Swarling Manor and were bowled over by the family's utter commitment to bringing the whole estate back to former glory. We were delighted to return on our 25th anniversary to see it having gone from strength to strength with a professional wedding planning team in place and yet keeping the rural English vibe. If you want an amazingly peaceful, romantic and beautiful setting with gloriously mature grounds with long walks and vistas yet easily accessible from Canterbury city centre... then this is for you. We cannot recommend this wonderful setting and team highly enough. A whole network of local artisan suppliers is now in place in this part of Kent to support any event

    Absolute stunning venue, really doesn't need much if any decoration at all. Perfect for those that want to with the perfect blank canvas to add any colour or style to. An absolutely huge thank you to Jess and the whole team. We had such an amazing day everything seemed to run so smoothly. Even the next day when we went to collect our belongings the clear up team were so lovely. Thank you again to everyone involved in making our postponed wedding an wonderful day with so many fantastic memories.
