Beautifully set in the Garden of England
When it comes to choosing your dream wedding venue it’s all about three words – location location location!
And the county of Kent, known as the ‘Garden of England’, is one of the most picturesque places in the UK to tie the knot. With its rolling countryside, historic towns and villages, plus miles of stunning coastline, Kent offers something for every couple.
But while there are many beautiful wedding venues in Kent to look around, one stands out for ticking more boxes than most – the award-winning Hythe Imperial Hotel.
Set in the charming coastal town of Hythe, our Victorian seafront hotel blends elegance and tradition with modern luxury. So whether you’re both dreaming of a romantic ceremony by the sea, a traditional church wedding followed by a glamorous hotel reception, or a relaxed outdoor celebration under our beautiful garden gazebo, we can make it all possible.
Let’s take a further look at what makes Kent and our hotel so special…
Kent weddings – coast, countryside and history combined
One of the biggest attractions of a Kent wedding is the region’s unique blend of natural beauty and rich heritage.
It’s a county steeped in history – with castles, cathedrals and centuries-old villages – bringing a timeless charm to any wedding day. It’s also incredibly well connected, making it easy for guests travelling from London or elsewhere in the UK or internationally.
But what truly makes weddings in Kent so truly memorable is the variety of landscapes available – from rolling vineyards and rural farmland to dramatic cliffs and beaches, there’s a backdrop to suit your style.
And with hotel wedding venues in Kent like ours offering convenient on-site accommodation, it’s easier than ever to create a full wedding weekend experience for your guests.
The best of both worlds – at one standout venue
Choose the Hythe Imperial as your hotel wedding venue in Kent, and you don’t have to choose between countryside charm and coastal beauty – because our hotel offers both!
Located directly on the Kent coast overlooking the English Channel, our stunning hotel gives uninterrupted sea views.
At the same time, it sits within its own expansive private grounds, complete with a pretty Victorian bandstand-style gazebo – making it just perfect for a romantic garden gazebo ceremony.
This unique combination makes it a dream setting for Kent coast weddings.
As a fully licensed civil wedding venue, the Hythe Imperial can host every part of your big day in one beautiful place – from the ceremony itself to the drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening celebration.
Plus, with 92 luxury bedrooms, including one of a kind bridal suites, it’s ideal for weddings with accommodation too.
So whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you’ll find everything you need right here, all under one roof.
