The Venue: Chapel House Estate
Callum and Jena got married at the simply stunning Chapel House Estate, nestled in the Kent countryside, amidst gorgeous orchards and lush paddocks. This beautifully restored venue has the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern elegance to make any couple feel extra special on their day. Offering exclusive use of the venue, Chapel House Estate accommodates all sorts of weddings, from big to small, traditional to unique, and they don’t restrict you on which suppliers you use. Plus, it has the amazing benefit of having everything onsite, from prep, to ceremony, to reception, to staying the night, to breakfast in the morning! They even have a helicopter pad!!
Getting ready happens either in their cute little hide-away lodges, the converted 1290 Chapel with honeymoon suite, or the Chapel Cottage.
You have the choice of marrying either inside or out. If you choose outside, you will find your guests amongst blossom-laden trees in spring, meadow grasses and wildflowers in summer, or trees ablaze with rustic colours in the autumn. You’ll marry under their hand-crafted oak-framed gazebo, the perfect place for your I-do’s.
Indoor ceremonies are in their Old Malt Granary which boasts high ceilings, exposed beams, original brickwork, and a large window to let in natural light. The room also offers views of lush gardens and an ornamental pond.
Take drinks in the festoon-lit walled courtyard and start your celebrations in the airy and spacious Thorne Barn. Eat at sprawling banquet tables with access to a patio and fireplace outside.

The Outfits
Jena & Callum chose to go black tie for their wedding day at Chapel House Estate. Callum looked fabulous in a crisp tux and white rose boutonniere, mirrored by his groomsmen, and beautiful bridesmaids in black dresses complimented Jena’s gorgeous off-white satin gown. A gentle curl in her hair cascaded down and looked stunning with a simple square neckline, with accentuated skirt and oversized bow at the back. She held a bouquet of mostly white flowers, with some gentle pops of colour, matching the florals that adorned the venue.
Come the evening, Jena changed into a white mini dress, but kept things bridal and nodded to her day-gown with a floor length over-sized bow at the back! Stunning!
The Speeches
All the speeches were fabulous! Callum’s loving words to his new wife were so emotional! Luckily, I could hide behind my camera, so no one cold see the tears! Uniquely, the bride’s sister did a wonderful speech, in which she produced a framed leaf that had come all the way from New York’s Central Park, from the tree under which Callum proposed to Jena! Such a thoughtful and unique gift!

The Party
The crowd didn’t disappoint! Everyone was throwing their shapes on the dance floor and enjoying cocktails from the bar! A live band provided the entertainment and they definitely got everyone going! What a gorgeous celebration of two people’s love!
