Fabulous location

Kingston Manor sits in the middle of a remote Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the south coast on the Isle of Wight, and has spectacular views. The medieval house makes for a magnificent backdrop, and the location is quite unique -- it's tucked away and hardly anyone knows it's there. It will feel like your own world.

Lots of space and flexibility

You will have exclusive access to the large gardens and the magnificent party barn for 2 days leading up to your wedding party, plus 2 nights in the wedding cottage included in the hire price.

We give you lots of flexibility, via our party planners, to choose how you run your day and how you set up your party.

The barn ​space is large and adaptable, and can be zoned into an indoor ceremony area, a seated dining area, bar area, , dancing area -- or you can keep it as one space in its huge and magnificent splendour.

It has room to seat 200 but can just as well be designed around smaller numbers from 50 upwards. The barn opens out onto gardens on both sides, making it light and welcoming.

If you prefer, you can set up a marquee on the lower lawn and dine overlooking the lake, then dance all night in the barn.

Variety of different spaces during your day

The gardens are expansive, and different areas can be brought into play for different stages of your day -- the arbour for an outdoor ceremony, the formal garden lawn for welcome drinks, the courtyard garden for the evening before and after the meal, the lawn on the far side the barn for a late-night pizza or snack van, or anything else you dream up. There's lots of space for adult or children's games on the lower lawn, or add nothing -- the gardens in themselves are lovely on their own.

Services offered

We have two planners to choose from, and you can opt to use their services for every last detail, or do some of the planning yourselves. Either way they'll take care of the setting-up beforehand, and coordinating everyone on the day.

We give you great freedom of choice on decor and dressing the venue.

During the planning stage, whether it's the party planners or us (the owners), there's always someone on hand to help things along.

And at the end of the night, you can retreat into the very cute and cosy private cottage at the edge of the gardens, also included in the hire price.

Exclusive

We hold a maximum of 8 weddings a year, from April to October, which means the venue remains fresh and exclusive.

There's no restriction on dates.
