Wedding Showcase Weekend
13 & 14 June 2026
The All New Commissioner’s House & Gardens
Join us for our first wedding showcase following the extensive restoration our historic Kent venue, The Commissioner’s House and Gardens. Prior to our official opening date we’re inviting couples seeking to view our spectacular venue to join us on Saturday 13 June and Sunday 14 June for an exclusive pre-opening preview.
Step inside The Commissionerโs House; having held centuries of celebrations, laughter and love stories, it will be reopening its doors this summer for you to tell yours. Our meticulously restored house becomes your home for the day, offering an elegant canvas for each chapter of your wedding โ whether youโre looking for an intimate ceremony, or a reception fit for a commissioner.
Be among the very first couples to experience our newly restored venue, gaining inspiration for your wedding day as you walk through our historic hallways – all brought beautifully to life with venue styling from Idyllic & Co. This event will give you the opportunity to chat with our team about your future plans and meet a selection of our recommended suppliers, alongside exploring everything The Commissioner’s House has to offer.
