Couples looking to hold their wedding at Oakwood House in Maidstone can now select and book any available date from April 2023 onwards.

Oakwood House is currently undergoing a major renovation which will offer a choice of three beautiful new ceremony rooms and will replace The Archbishop’s Palace as the county Register Office for Kent.

Just a short distance from the town centre, Oakwood House is a grand Victorian mansion set among mature gardens and tall trees, providing an intimate setting and stunning backdrop for wedding photographs. The building is wheelchair accessible with free parking on site.
