Something to Celebrate Supplement
2 For well-priced Luxury
Salomons Estate is a stunning Victorian mansion two miles from Royal Tunbridge
Wells. The estate is perfect for weddings, conferences, private parties and office
hire, and has self-catering holiday lets, a popular restaurant and bar on-site. There
are many gorgeous spots to get married here, including the historical Victorian
Theatre, the beautiful and spacious Drawing Room, the intricately decorated
Gold Room, or, for an alfresco ceremony, the south-facing terrace overlooking
the estate’s meticulously manicured gardens. Meanwhile, just a stone’s throw from
The Pantiles, luxury hotel One Warwick Park offers The Function Room. With
a stunning adjoining bar area, vaulted double-height ceilings, 15-foot windows,
exposed brickwork, and gleaming white walls, it’s the perfect blank canvas for more
contemporary style-forward weddings, allowing couples to completely tailor the
décor to their liking. The boutique four-star hotel and the 36-acre 19th century
grand country house are quite different to each other, but are both award-winning
destinations from Elite Leisure Collection in Tunbridge Wells, and they both offer
the most luxurious of weddings with their opulent surroundings, tailored packages
and excellent array of suppliers.
CAPACITY: The Function Room at One Warwick Park can accommodate up to
180, and Salomons Estate’s various options have capacities from 65 to 230.
PRICING: Getting married at The Function Room at One Warwick Park is
better than half price from Mondays to Thursdays in 2023, at £795 instead of
£1,650. And at Salomons Estate, a new package offers an all-inclusive summer
BBQ wedding for £4,400 from Mondays to Wednesdays this year. With 50 guests
minimum, this includes a dedicated coordinator, room hire, welcome drinks, a
delicious BBQ menu, table décor, bacon rolls for the evening and an overnight stay.

3 For historic splendour
The aptly named Landmark Arts Centre is a stunning grade II* listed
building that was originally a church so enormous it was nicknamed ‘the
cathedral of the Thames Valley’. Reminiscent of Notre Dame’s exquisite
ornate and grand architecture, it offers fairytale features, intricate carvings
and ornate archways for your backdrop. As well as hosting its fair share
of weddings, birthdays and other celebrations, the stunning Landmark
has also been featured in music videos and films – you can even follow
in the footsteps of Cate Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes as you take to the
dance floor, as it was used as a set for the film Elizabeth. The location
is very convenient in the heart of Teddington in south west London,
with a great selection of hotels all in walking distance, and easy transport
links to Surrey and London (30 minutes from Waterloo via train). But
it is also set amidst some of the most beautiful scenery of the region – a
stone’s throw away from the River Thames and the beautiful deer-filled
landscape of Bushy Park, London’s second-largest Royal Park. The unique
and intricate details of these buildings are enchanting with an undeniable
sense of grandeur – perfect for making a statement and creating a lasting
impression. Plus, as a charity, it’s priced at a very appealing budget. This
is a one-of-a-kind venue with remarkable features including stained-glass
windows, a raised dance floor and ornate ceilings.
CAPACITY: In the hall, there’s space for up to 220 for
seated wedding receptions and private events or up to
320 for conferences, concerts or performances.
PRICING: The main hall costs £150 per hour or for a
full day (Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm) it’s £1,080.
