Elmley Nature Reserve

Based on an island, with rustic luxe accommodation and wild sweeping views, Elmley is a unique destination wedding venue, just over an hour from London.

Elmley is a privately owned 3,300-acre estate in Kent, and the only National Nature Reserve in the UK where you can get married.

Exclusively yours for three days and two nights, you will have the time and space to celebrate your wedding exactly how you want. Settle in with pizza and drinks in the courtyard, wake up to morning yoga with incredible views, or go for a wild swim in the dipping pond…giving you the chance to really enjoy this most special time with loved ones.

At the heart of the reserve sits Kingshill Farm, home to our breathtaking Victorian barn, a choice of indoor and outdoor ceremony locations, and a collection of beautifully styled accommodation with wilderness views. With space for up to 150 guests for your ceremony and dinner, or 200 for the evening party, you’ll also find no corkage for daytime drinks, no curfew, and a late-night fire pit for after-hours celebrations under the stars.

We host just a small number of weddings each year, meaning we can really get to know you as a couple and the wedding you dream of. You’ll be supported every step of the way by our dedicated and experienced team. And with a curated list of trusted caterers and recommended suppliers, we can help you to get started with planning your most special day.

Weddings at Elmley are wild, luxurious, and entirely yours.
