Everything we dreamed of
I instantly loved the venue and clicked with the coordinators and I knew this would be where we got married!
They were so accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had a perfectly tailored package to us.
Every single member of staff throughout the whole day was brilliant and knew exactly what they were doing.
I felt at ease the whole time as I knew we were in safe hands with Emma and her team.
It was the happiest day of our lives!!!

Best day ever!
We had previously stayed at The Bull Hotel a few years ago and instantly fell in love with its relaxed and rustic feel. When it came to planning our wedding we knew that the Buttery and Glasshouse would be the perfect place for our big day! The venue is stunning, perfect for couples wishing to have their ceremony and celebrations all under one roof. The Buttery has an intimate feel with its beautiful beams, whilst the Glasshouse is contemporary, light and airy but the two just work exquisitely together. There are a selection of wedding packages on offer which cater for every need. From our initial enquiry right up to our wedding day itself, our co-ordinator Emma was amazing, she was on hand throughout the planning process. On the day itself Emma and the team ensured that everything ran seamlessly. We had a fantastic wedding day in April 2024; the venue looked amazing, the staff were very well organised, friendly and attentive, also the food was delicious! A big thank you to everyone for helping us to make our dream wedding a reality. Would highly recommend the Buttery and Glasshouse to anyone who is planning their wedding day.

Perfect and Exceptional
The venue was beautiful in a great location. From start to finish the day was seamless and everything pieced together perfectly. Emma and Chloe worked tirelessly all day to make our wedding day so much more than we could have ever have imagined or wished for. Emma was attentive, meticulous, professional, caring, down to earth and patient - nothing was too much for her and she made us feel welcome and relaxed. Having our wedding at the Glasshouse and Buttery was the best decision we could have made and the team did a phenomenal job in helping us make some very treasured memories.

On July 27, 2024, my husband and I were married at the knot at The Bull Hotel in Wrotham. When we were looking for a venue, we visited several establishments without saying why we were visiting, so we had lunches, afternoon teas and Sunday dinners. The aim of this was to experience the feel and service of the establishment before we got the big sell from the wedding coordinators. The moment we walked into The Bull Hotel we knew it was the place for us, from the atmosphere and feeling we got, to the excellent service we received when enjoying our Sunday lunch. Only after we had finished our meal did we ask to make an appointment with the Wedding Coordinator. Bearing in mind that this was a Sunday lunchtime, we were told that the Wedding Coordinator Emma was in today clearing up from a wedding the previous day and that they would see if she could see us now. Emma joined us at our table and from the moment we met her we knew we were going to work well together. The tour of the venue was exceptional, Emma’s explanation of each part of the building from the ceremony room in the Buttery to the Glasshouse and where the disco would be in the evening was full of detail, but not overwhelming. Over the course of the next two years the experience we had in dealing with the Wedding Coordinating Team including Emma, Chloe and Leigh Ann was outstanding, their listening skills and understanding of what we wanted, added to their attention to detail were exceptional. Moving forward to the weekend of the wedding, from the moment we arrived the day before the wedding they literally could not do enough for us. Everything we had discussed was there and ready, they had coordinated with other suppliers like the Cake designer, Photographer, Florist etc. so everything was arranged and all we had to do was add our little touches that we had brought with us, like wedding favours, some colour specific decoration, table names and place setting name tags etc. On the day of the wedding itself, they treated not only us but all of our guests like royalty and made every one of them feel relaxed and special. The extra special attention they paid to some of the older generation with mobility issues was extremely heartwarming, nothing and I mean nothing was too much trouble. I am a bit of a control freak and work controlling Process and Procedures so have very exacting standards but had absolutely no problem letting the team handle everything and for this we were rewarded with a day that went like clockwork and a day that was enjoyed by everyone. Although I am writing this it comes from not only me and my husband but from the guests that we had at the wedding, as we have received so many fabulous comments since the wedding, not only on how much our guests enjoyed the day but also on The Bull Hotel and their staff (all of them). As you can imagine from this review, we would not have any hesitation in recommending The Bull to anyone, they make a special day ‘Fantastic’ and memorable for the right reasons.

Absolutely beautiful venue!
We recently got married at The Buttery and Glasshouse after being recommended the venue by a friend/previous bride. It is the perfect venue for those couples who want an intimate vibe where your marriage and celebration can all take place under one venue. The staff were incredibly welcoming throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to meet all our expectations for the big day. Leigh-Anne was very informative during our initial consultation and answered any queries we had during the booking process. Our wedding coordinator Catherine done a fabulous job in the lead up to the day and made sure my husband and I felt at ease about everything, from the structure of the day to all the finer details. On the day, she was friendly and approachable to all our guests and made sure the day ran smoothly. We highly recommend The Buttery and Glasshouse
to all future couples; it is absolutely beautiful! Ciara & Chris xx

Excellent venue and amazing service
What an amazing wedding we had on 4th October 2023.
From the first time we dropped in for a drink to take a look at The Bull Hotel, to our initial meeting, to the wonderful wedding open day visit with family, to our actual wedding, the staff and service has been fantastic.
We didn’t want a DJ or sit down 3 course meal including wine. Nothing was too much trouble. We used their wedding packages as a guide, discussed everything at our initial meeting and they gave us a bespoke price for exactly the elements we wanted.
We were blessed with great weather for October. Our civil ceremony was at 4.30pm in the Buttery, with cocktails and canapés on the terrace and a delicious smokehouse buffet in the glasshouse, followed by cakes and a sweetie table.
For entertainment we decided to have a caricaturist The Artful Doodler and magic and mind reading by Robert Fox.
Despite being a Wednesday family and friends decided to book all the rooms and we gathered together for a delicious breakfast the next morning.
The Glasshouse and Buttery is a fabulous all year round wedding venue that is light and airy and gets a 10 out of 10 for service, location, comfort and the best cosmopolitan cocktails 🍸

Perfect venue with a amazing wedding coordinator
This venue is so perfect everything you need in one place, the buttery is a beautiful little building with beams and stone walls, there’s a large terrace area for the drink’s reception and gives everyone chance to stretch their legs before the wedding breakfast, ours was served in the stunning glass house which is so open and inviting it’s simply beautiful.
The food we choose was Texan smokehouse as we didn’t want the fuss of asking guests what they wanted to eat on a traditional type menu, everyone enjoyed the food and commented on how lovely it was and how we had found the perfect venue. The hotel rooms are all very welcoming and modern.
The staff can’t help enough and the wedding planner was on hand all day making every step go by without a glitch even though our guests were somewhat confused about wedding etiquette and order they still got everything to run smoothly, they came over to check how everything was going and if I needed anything, helped me with my dress, just went above and beyond for us.

The Perfect Day at the Bull
We got married at the Bull Hotel at the end of April and we cannot recommend it as a venue more highly. The venue is perfect if you are looking for somewhere where everything is in one location. The Buttery has a lovely rustic quality for the ceremony while the Glasshouse is light, airy and modern and perfect for the wedding breakfast. Having the pub as well is such an asset as it gives people multiple options in the evening- especially for those who want a sit down and a quieter chat.
The food was exceptional - everything was absolutely delicious. But what makes the Bull such a very special venue that will always remain dear to our hearts is the team. Leigh Anne is quite simply a joy to have as your wedding coordinator. She is one of the loveliest people I have ever met and she and the team will do everything in their power to help create the day you want. We cannot fault our experience with the Bull and we wish them every success for the future as they thoroughly deserve every accolade and award they win!

A dream from beginning to end!
We got married at The Bull in late October, and would wholeheartedly recommend it as a wedding venue. From the initial enquiry in December 2020, up to the day itself, Leigh Anne was on hand for any and all questions we sent her way! We had the perfect amount of communication and check ins along the planning process. The service we received from Leigh Anne, Dionne (who co-ordinated the day like a dream), Stacy, and the rest of the staff on our wedding day went absolutely above and beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful for all the help and support they offered us throughout. We were able to use The Buttery and The Glasshouse as blank slates to decorate to our heart’s content for our Autumnal theme, and the venue lent itself so well to our cosy and intimate celebrations. The food was incredible, so all our guests were very impressed and well fed!
Thank you – we had the most wonderful and totally relaxed wedding day, with so many fond memories to treasure thanks to your amazing work.

Perfect day
We had our wedding here in October and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to have it. Leigh Anne and Dionne made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The location is just amazing and is so beautiful in our photos. The food was, in the words of our guests, “the best food they have ever had at a wedding”. Nothing was too much for any of the staff they saw to our every need. We stayed the night before with our family and had a lovely meal as a start to the celebrations.
The rooms are spacious impeccably clean and very comfortable.
My grandmother is in a wheelchair and they made sure throughout the day that she was able to take part in everything and were there with the ramps whenever needed.
I would 110% recommend this as the perfect location for a beautiful and memorable wedding. They also do a mean Sunday roast as well.
Thank you Dionne, Leigh Anne, Sacha and Martin and all the rest of the staff who made our special day just perfect in every way.

‘WATTS’ a Wonderful Wedding Venue!
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of getting married at The Bull in July 2021. We cannot thank The Bull staff enough for their attention to detail and unparalleled level of service throughout the weekend. We’d like to extend a special thank you to Emma, Harry, George, Em, Leigh Anne and the whole team who continually exceeded not just ours but our whole wedding party’s needs.
Prior to booking our wedding, we knew of The Bulls excellent food menu, however, what was provided on the day well and truly surpassed our expectations, catering exceptionally for both Vegan and Meat options.
The hotel rooms were perfect for our preparations and guests all enjoyed the convenience of staying on site. The ceremony and reception venue allow for a truly intimate wedding experience - Everything was seamless from start to finish.
We honestly couldn’t have wished for anything more, and would recommend The Bull to anyone booking their special day.
Thank you again, to all The Bull Team!
All our best,
Mr & Mrs Watts

Wonderful wedding venue
We always wanted a smaller wedding, which is what attracted us to The Bull. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we visited. Our wedding ended up being half the size we originally planned, due to Covid, but it was still amazing. The Buttery is beautiful, and you really can customise it to fit your theme. The indoor and outdoor space is great. The team there are amazing, very responsive to queries and they were really supportive (when lockdown after lockdown left us wondering whether it’d ever happen). The food is amazing. We went for the smokehouse option as we had a fairly informal wedding, and we had so many compliments about the food!
