Getting married in beautiful Kent

The county of Kent is always such a popular location for weddings, for many reasons…

With mile after mile of rolling countryside, beautiful coastline and historic towns, it is easy to see why so many couples choose a Kent wedding.

Put short – a Kent wedding means you are truly spoilt for choice. And that’s where the Hythe Imperial Hotel comes in.

For generations, we’ve been proud to host ceremonies and celebrations of all shapes and sizes – and today, we’re known as one of the best wedding venues in the region.

Not just for local newlyweds, but also couples who travel here to get married and stay with us at the hotel.

Let us show you why! It’s time to fall in love with our award-winning venue…

A coastal wedding venue – with character

Set right on the seafront in the charming old town of Hythe, our luxurious hotel offers something a little different from most wedding venues in Kent.

It really is the best of both. The Hythe Imperial has a dramatic setting overlooking the coast on one side, and surrounded by green countryside on the other.

Whether you’re imagining an outdoor gazebo ceremony in our gardens, a drinks reception on the terrace overlooking the ocean waves, or a glamorous evening celebration in the grand Imperial Ballroom, we can adapt beautifully to your vision.

Our hotel has bags of history, being founded in the Victorian era. But inside it’s both classic and modern, with newly-refurbished rooms and a unique character.

With so much space and plenty of options to choose from, it’s easy to plan your perfect Kent wedding and to make it your own…

Decades of wedding experience

Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting – and daunting – things you’ll ever do…

But with the right venue by your side, those nerves will vanish!

At the Hythe Imperial Hotel, we’ve been hosting weddings for many decades. That experience means we understand what really matters for our couples.

When you book with us, our super-friendly Weddings Team will be on hand from day one. Together, you can plan everything and make sure it’s just how you want it – whether you have a set plan in mind already, or are just beginning to explore your options.

Having this support really does make all the difference!

And as soon as you’ve found your perfect Kent wedding venue, everything will just click into place!

Our bespoke Kent wedding packages

It doesn’t end there. Our Kent hotel wedding packages are also the perfect way to stay on budget.

Rather than coordinating lots of separate suppliers and caterers, sending dozens of emails and making phone calls, why not leave things to us?

Our bespoke wedding packages in Kent include all the main things you need – in one affordable price.

Think of the essentials, such as your wedding breakfast, arrival drinks and for the toasts, an evening buffet and a stay in one of our beautiful rooms. All this is covered in our wedding packages.

You can then plan your special day around the package – adding touches to make everything uniquely yours.

It’s not just good for your stress levels – they’re good on your wallet too!

An invite to come and look around

No matter where you are on your wedding journey, there’s no substitute for seeing a venue in person.

You can spend hour after hour flicking through wedding magazines or browsing websites. But that doesn’t give you the true ‘feeling’ – only a venue visit does that!

From the sea views to the ceremony spaces and our reception rooms, visiting the Hythe Imperial Hotel helps bring your ideas to life.

And our Weddings Team would be delighted to show you around and talk through what your day could look like.

Whether you’re planning a wedding for this year or further in the future, we’d love to help you create a celebration to remember – right here on the Kent coast.
