Goodnestone Park

Quintessentially British, this breathtaking, family-owned Georgian estate was frequently visited by Jane Austen, who began writing her first novel ‘Pride and Prejudice’ after a stay in 1796. 

Just over an hour from London, Goodnestone Park offers a true destination-style wedding experience, inviting couples to gather with family and friends for the entire weekend in understated luxury, with accommodation for up to 28 guests throughout their stay. The beautiful, hand-crafted Orangery, built especially for Goodnestone Park by industry experts LPM Bohemia seats up to 130 guests for your wedding breakfast from March – October, while the historic Old Dairy provides a more intimate setting for up to 70 guests from November to February.

Ceremonies take place on the sweeping lawns and terraces, or at the Church of the Holy Cross reached via a short walk from the mansion through the magnificent gardens.

Set within 2,000 acres of the Kent countryside, Goodnestone Park is an exclusive-use Georgian country house, steeped in history and reimagined for unforgettable wedding weekends.
