Broome Park Hotel Wedding

Broome Park Wedding Gallery

Just outside of Canterbury in the countryside village of Barham lies the stunning Broome Park Hotel, a venue steeped in history. Once home to Lord Kitchener, the venue is a listed building and is part of the Broome Park Golf Club, offering both history and luxury for your special day.

Broome Park is more than just a hotel—it’s a mansion house set within extensive grounds, including a picturesque golf course that adds to the venue’s serene charm. For couples who enjoy a round of golf, combining a day on the golf course with a wedding at this iconic country house could be the perfect experience.

One of the standout features of Broome Park is the Italian gardens, where many outdoor wedding ceremonies take place. While the pond’s waterfall is often dry, the setting is still breathtaking, offering a unique atmosphere for exchanging vows. The venue also features a spacious marquee, ideal for larger wedding receptions.

Nad & Lucas’s wedding at Broome Park was unforgettable, with over 300 guests attending. Despite the large number of guests and no formal seating plan, the event flowed smoothly, with everyone relaxed and engaged in deep conversation, truly enjoying the day.

Whether you’re looking for a historic venue or a scenic location surrounded by countryside, Broome Park Hotel offers the perfect blend of both. The venue’s rich history, its ties to Earl Kitchener, and the beautiful golf course make it an exceptional choice for couples looking to create lasting memories.
