The first step to planning your wedding
Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll ever embark on. But it can also feel a little overwhelming at times…
As a couple, you probably have lots of thoughts and questions. How do you choose the right wedding venue? What kind of décor will create the right atmosphere? And who can you trust to make your special day as magical as you’ve always dreamed?
We have the answer – attend a wedding open day!
At the Hythe Imperial Hotel, our wedding open days in Kent are the perfect opportunity for newly-engaged couples to explore our stunning venue, meet our wedding team, and visualise how your dream day could come to life.
Here’s why you won’t want to miss one of our Hythe Imperial wedding fairs in 2025.
Set on the picturesque Kent coast, overlooking the ocean, the Hythe Imperial has a fantastic setting for your wedding…
From the grand Imperial Ballroom to the intimate charm of our large gardens and gazebo, our venue offers breathtaking spaces to suit weddings of all sizes and styles, all year round.
When you attend one of our wedding venue open days, you’ll have the chance to tour the hotel, explore the reception spaces, and to get a feel for the venue.
What to expect at a wedding open day
They’re sometimes called ‘wedding fairs’ or ‘wedding open days’. But it’s essentially the same thing!
Our wedding events are designed to inspire and reassure. When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our expert wedding team, who will be on hand to answer your questions.
You can then tour the venue, with a glass of bubbly in hand, and see whether we’re the right venue for you.
We also invite some of hand-picked wedding suppliers to give you more inspiration – people such as florists, photographers and cake makers.
It’s your chance to gather ideas, speak with professionals and start building your dream day.
Attending a wedding fair in Kent can also help soothe any nerves you might have about wedding planning. By seeing our venue in person, meeting the team and seeing how everything fits together, you’ll feel more confident and excited about the journey ahead!
Inclusive weddings for everyone
At the Hythe Imperial, we firmly believe that love is love, and we’re proud to host weddings for couples from all walks of life.
Our venue is proudly fully inclusive and welcoming, offering a safe and celebratory venue for LGBT+ couples to celebrate their weddings.
From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, our team is experienced in working with all couples to create a day that reflects your unique love story.
