A Historic Manor House and Estate for Unforgettable Weddings
Tucked away in the rolling Kent countryside near Dover, Solton Manor is one of the region’s most exclusive and awe-inspiring wedding venues. With over 1,000 years of history, this Grade II listed manor house sits at the heart of a breathtaking estate, offering an array of indoor and outdoor spaces to make your celebration truly one of a kind.

The Manor House
Lovingly restored, the manor combines centuries-old character with modern luxury. Original features such as exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces create an elegant setting for intimate ceremonies of up to 50 guests or private dining experiences crafted by our expert chefs. With accommodation for up to 24 guests – including a romantic four-poster honeymoon suite and nine additional bedrooms – the manor is the perfect retreat after your celebrations.

The Getting Ready Room
Begin your wedding day in style in our dedicated Getting Ready Room, located just beside the Manor House. Bright and spacious, it’s the ideal setting for hair, makeup, and precious moments with your wedding party before you walk down the aisle.

The Dovecote Cottage
Once home to pigeons and doves, the Dovecote Cottage is now a stylish and cosy hideaway included in your wedding package. This charming retreat sleeps four in two bedrooms, featuring an open-plan living space, peaceful pond views, and a private deck complete with a hot tub — perfect for the night before or after your wedding.

Gardens & Grounds
The estate’s grounds offer endless opportunities for stunning photos and memorable moments. Stroll across the Venetian-inspired Ponte Vecchio Bridge or share a quiet moment at the Summerhouse by the ornamental pond. From the romantic meadow and manicured lawns to the historic moat and ancient ruins, every corner provides a picturesque backdrop for your day.

Outdoor Ceremony Spaces
Godric’s Garden
Exchange vows amidst the atmospheric ruins of an ancient church with manicured lawns and pond views. Up to 200 guests can witness your ceremony in this truly magical setting.
Finet’s Woodland
Tucked away within the estate, this secluded woodland offers a fairy-tale ceremony spot beneath a canopy of trees and birdsong — rustic, romantic, and uniquely Kentish.

Indoor Ceremony — The Old Stables
For a timeless indoor ceremony, the Old Stables exude rustic charm. Original beams, soft natural light and a warm, intimate atmosphere make it perfect for saying “I do” at any time of year, enhanced by romantic florals or candlelight.

The Dutch Barn — Reception & Evening Party
Celebrate in style in our beautifully converted Dutch Barn, which seats up to 200 guests. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sweeping countryside views, while exposed pillars and dramatic draping create a sense of grandeur. Enjoy an unforgettable feast by our catering partners, sip cocktails at the fully stocked bar, and dance the night away with an in-house sound system and dance floor ready for your after-party.
