The best day of our lives!
Everything about Crown Lodge was perfect for us. Excellent communication and planning with Stephanie the owner and Kylie the operations manager. They were very accommodating for all our needs, had great ideas and inspiration for flowers, catering and table arrangements. The venue was the perfect size, rustic inside and out with views of the downs, wonderful for photos.

Incredible venue, phenomenal staff!
We had our dream wedding day at Crown Lodge. Kylie was incredible and so helpful, we’re forever grateful. One of the reasons we chose crown lodge was because it was the only venue that allowed us to bring in our own caterers, which meant we could express our Jamaican heritage in our choice of food. Kylie and the staff at Crown Lodge went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure that the day demonstrated who we are as a couple. In the end we had steel pans and a Jamaican buffet complete with a traditional drum to cook Jerk meats!
The venue itself is so stunning and picturesque that hardly any decorations were needed! Kylie was our main contact and she was absolutely incredible, we were sad to see her leave on the evening of our wedding.
We are so happy, the day couldn’t have gone any better and we have memories to last a lifetime.
Thank you to all at Crown Lodge for helping us create our dream wedding day!❤️

Our big day
Our big day was held at Crown Lodge and we had the best wedding day! We enjoyed ourselves so much and did not wanted to end the celebration. We fell in love with Crown Lodge immediately and knew that this venue would represent us 100%.
Unfortunately our ceremony could not be done outside and a the little dream of the bride walking down the aisle, getting married in the gazebo crumbled. Although it was sunny and not rainy the registrar decided to do the ceremony inside. I must say, I was very upset about this, arriving and getting this news. I knew this was not the venues decision but still couldn’t believe it. Kylie was just brilliant, she checked in with me, making sure that I was ok and asked me throughout the day many times if I was good and if there’s anything she can do for me. Kylie is an absolute gem and makes the spirit of the venue. Because of her I could actually let my hair down and ignore the fact that I could not have the ceremony I really wanted. Her reassurance was well needed and lifted me up in the moment. I just want to also mention that everybody else who was there and helped did an amazing job and all our guests still mention how amazing all the girls of Crown Lodge was and what a stunning venue it is. We seriously had the best wedding day and things definitely happen for a reason. We highly recommend Crown Lodge ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Dream Wedding
Kylie and the team went above and beyond what was expected, we truly felt looked after from the moment we first emailed to enquire all the way through to the day after. Our guests cannot stop singing the praises of the venue and location. We were incredibly lucky to have been able to have our wedding and such an incredible venue whilst at such a great price.

I recently got married at The Crown Lodge in Kent, and it was absolutely perfect!
I recently got married at The Crown Lodge in Kent, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is gorgeous, with stunning views and beautifully decorated indoor spaces. The staff were amazing, ensuring everything went off without a hitch and making us feel so special throughout the day. The ceremony area in the small woodland behind the crown lodge is breathtaking. Our guests raved about the delicious food and the overall ambiance. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our big day. Highly recommend The Crown Lodge for a wedding you'll never forget!

Crown Lodge is the perfect venue for a rustic, woodland wedding. The Lodge itself is beautiful- rustic and that real cosy cabin feel. The surrounding trees are an amazing backdrop and the North Downs gives amazing views and beautiful photo opportunities.
The staff at Crown Lodge are amazing. From planning our day, to the day itself- they were with us and shared our vision every step of the way, making us feel relaxed and at ease.
We would definately recommend Crown Lodge as a perfect wedding venue.

An amazing day made better by an incredible team at Crown Lodge
Kylie and her team at Crown Lodge were simply amazing all the way through. From the planning stage Kylie was really helpful and very understanding of exactly what we wanted for our day and was always available if we needed anything. On the day of the wedding they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and made us feel really relaxed and looked after. We had some issues on the day with the (external) catering company arriving late but the team at Crown Lodge were able to get stuck in and help prep and serve the food to keep everything on track even though they were not obliged to do so, they really did save our day. I would highly recommend this venue.

Perfect wedding day
Myself & My husband booked about 2 years ago with Crown Lodge, we went and fell in love at first sight, it's set in a beautiful location and the venue is so peaceful. We met with Steph at the time and she was so helpful, answering any questions we had & providing us with advice and help throughout. We started dealing with Kylie who is just as fantastic as Steph, the ladies both have a very clear passion for weddings and making sure the couples have the best day. They were always on hand to help us.
Leading up to the wedding Kylie was on the ball with reminding us of things we needed to arrange and helping us with getting the final preparations in place for the right time.
On the day both Steph and Kylie were there to make sure nothing went wrong & if it did we didn't know anything about it. They kept our glasses topped up & out guests happy. They coordinated with all of the suppliers to make sure everything was where it should be when it needed to be.
We really couldn't have had a more organised and special day. Thank you!

A beautiful venue, stunning location and an amazing team behind it all!
We had our wedding here in May 2023 and couldn’t have asked for more from this venue! The location is absolutely beautiful, looking directly over the Kent Downs. The venue itself is very pretty, rustic and understated - which didn’t go unnoticed by our guests! We had several people ask us how we found such a lovely, hidden venue in such a stunning location.
Kylie, our designated event organiser, had been amazing in helping us plan the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. If we had any queries, she was quick to respond and gave helpful advise - which is really needed when you don’t know where to start with wedding planning! The staff really looked after us on the day of the wedding and we could see they really genuinely cared in ensuring we had the most wonderful day! We really can’t thank Kylie and the team enough, we feel so lucky to have found such an amazing place to say our ‘I do’s’!
Kylie & the team - thank you so much!!!

Loved The Crown Lodge!
We loved our Wedding at The Crown Lodge! We originally were meant to be married back in November 2020 but with covid we pushed it back to October 2022, and wow! The Autumnal colour scheme we chose worked so well with not only the season but the venue also. I loved the woodland feel and used that to decorate. Stephanie was great and gave us lots of tips and ideas and Kylie was fun and reassuring and helped us loads when we were feeling let down by family. I would always recommend The Crown Lodge, it’s just beautiful!

Perfect Venue
We would recommend Crown Lodge over and over again for any event, not just weddings. We got married in September in Wye Church and after headed over to Crown Lodge and we had the most perfect day.
From the first enquiry, Stephanie, Kylie and the team were incredible and nothing was too much trouble. The team were so friendly and professional and just put us at ease every step of the way.
On the day they were so efficient and just made sure the day ran as it should, which it did perfectly.
If I could do it all again, I would choose Crown Lodge every time. We wanted a rustic, woodland themed wedding and we felt like this venue was made for us, the amazing staff were just the cherry on the cake!
Thank you Stephanie, Kylie and all!! Xxx
