Information For Cave Hotel
A stylish sanctum that seamlessly blends a high-end contemporary look with a laid-back and welcoming approach, Cave is not just a venue, and getting married here is a truly holistic experience.
Arrive at least a night before your wedding to make the most of everything we have to offer to ensure you're fully relaxed and rested. After dinner, head to the tranquil hydrotherapy pool and sauna to unwind before heading to your room for the best night's sleep of your life.
Waking up in the uber-luxe Bridal suite, make your way to your private wraparound balcony and take in the panoramic views of Kent's rolling countryside. Finally, your big day has arrived and what better way to toast it than with a glass of perfectly chilled Champagne as you prepare to dazzle your waiting guests.
Our beautiful pergola is a magical setting for your ceremony, every part of which can be tailored with our dedicated wedding team to reflect your personality as a couple. Whether you want whimsical and romantic, or vibrant and modern, your wish is our command.
After saying ‘I do’, our magnificent marquee, with a starlit ceiling is a completely private area and the ideal space for you and up to 100 guests to be wined and dined.
In line with our ethos that a wedding should be all about faultless food, fantastic company and a joyful shared experience, the marquee is a blank canvas for you to decorate however you choose; anything goes!
Forget stuffy, sit-down three-course dinners, Cave wedding menus are an exciting sensory journey of colourful sharing dishes, delivering huge international flavours that everyone will love getting involved in. The antithesis of a traditional wedding menu, its all about pairing incredible flavours with fine-dining flair and ultimately sharing an impressive feast with your friends and family.
Accommodating up to evening guests, the undercover terrace is also exclusively yours for the day, with plenty of casual seating for your friends 150 and family to sit back and be utterly wowed by your personalised firework spectacular that will finish your night.

Words can't describe how perfect the day was, it was what we dreamed of and more.
We are so thankful to Megan for all your hard work you have put in over the last few years helping us get everything to where it needed to be.
A massive thank you to Yas and the team on the day, 1st class service. They were more than happy to help with everything on the day and very accommodating especially with the amount of children running around.
We were the last ones to leave the marquee and it allowed us to reflect on what a wonderful night it was and it was everything we could have wished for.
We will be highly recommending the Cave for all.
Hopefully we will see you all again soon.
Once again thank you all so much.

Hi Megan & Abbie,
Just wanted to say thank you to you both for such an amazing day. Everything went so smoothly and we really couldn’t believe how special it was.
Can you pass on my thanks to everyone that was in that day and Yasmin and her team as everywhere we went there were smiling faces and just a great service.
You have both been brilliant and it’s really appreciated.

Wedding Review
Where to start….. from the moment we turned up on the Thursday until we drove out of the car park on the Saturday, it was something special. I could try and name everyone who made our day (few days!!) so perfect but it was honestly every single person who we met, from reception to the deck for dinner and breakfast to the bar on the evening and the chefs on the night, was 100% the best food anyone has ever had at a wedding and everyone has messaged to say so! Just everyone there, thank you.
Please pass on the BIGGEST thank you, those words don’t even seem to express just how grateful we are. It’s the only time we will experience that day and if you didn’t have the staff you do, it wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was. Myself and Jack plus all of our family and friends have only had the most amazing and positive things to say. So many people have said it’s the best wedding ever which is an even bigger compliment from some of the oldies because, as they said, “trust me, I’ve been to a few” haha.
Please say a special thank you to Yas and all of the bar staff that night, I’m trying not to swear but bloody brilliant!! And to Paulo, absolute legend, enough said!
Megs we really can’t thank you enough, we had a vision and yes, ours was a very clear and precise one which other venues would have (and did!) not bothered with but from the moment we met you couldn’t have been more accommodating. Really you just took it from my brain, upgraded it and absolutely brought it on the day!!
We had the most special, perfect, magical, dream come true day and the Cave will always hold a piece of our hearts for that reason. We will back so soon and every year on 12th August for sure.

We have just returned from our wedding at The Cave and couldn’t recommend it more highly to other couples looking for a wedding venue. The hotel rooms are amazing, (we had the Bridal Suite), the food is excellent and the attention to detail by the staff was second to none.
We had a couple of teething problems with some of our suppliers and the the staff quickly stepped in to help us.
Yasmin, the events manager is an amazing asset to the Hotel, she couldn’t do enough to help our day go smoothly and nothing was too much trouble.
Adam was also very helpful and approachable behind the bar.
All in all a great day at a great venue with great staff

Wedding at Cave Hotel and Golf Resort
My Husband and I chose the Cave Hotel to be the venue for our reception for our wedding 2 years ago and last weekend the day finally arrived. We can not recommend this place enough, from the beginning our wedding coordinator Maddie and her team did an amazing job helping organise everything and nothing was ever too much trouble especially after having to postpone due to COVID. We had the best day and Adam was an absolute star making sure everything ran smoothly! So many lovely comments from our guests and the place looked incredible. We also stayed in the bridal suite that night and wow, what a stunning room! Definitely worth a visit!!

We booked our wedding nearly 3 years ago now, when we first visited the venue we knew it was our place! We always feel welcome and at home! Our wedding had been moved from the previous year due to Covid and I couldn’t be happier with the service me and my Husband received. Maddie was our point of contact and was easily accessible and answered any question we had. Nothing was an issue, we wanted to mix and match menus and they were accommodating. We even got to taste a few of the menu options before our wedding.
I stayed in the penthouse the night before which was perfect to get ready in, I would really recommend this. My husband stayed down the hall in a signature suite and on our wedding night we had the bridal suite. All rooms are stunning and we always feel right at home.
We had our ceremony inside the restaurant as the weather wasn’t great then our reception and evening in the wedding marquee. We had our own separate area and bar. The venue was simply stunning and I can not thank Yaz and Maddie for everything they did for us. It’s all the little things and checking that we are ok and if we need anything that really makes it extra special!
I can’t wait to come back and celebrant our 1 year wedding anniversary!

Wedding day 2022
We got married here on Thursday and the staff both front of house and back of house did a brilliant job. They went above and beyond and made our day run smoothly. Thank you to Yas, Abbie and Megan for helping and planning our wedding and making it the day we have always dreamt of
The venue is beautiful and lovely for a wedding. We wanted to get married outside but due to it being very windy we got married inside and it was just as beautiful. The marquee where the wedding breakfast and evening reception was was the perfect size for the amount of guests we had.
The food was so tasty. Especially the mains. All guests enjoyed the food. And All guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The breakfast the next morning was also very good- i loved the Nutella and biscoff french toast and the pitmasters breakfast!
The front of house staff were very attentive and always there if you needed anything.
The rooms were lovely and the beds so comfy. The pool, sauna and steam room is very relaxing and lovely to be in. You can even order drinks to here too.
I couldn’t fault my stay at all. It was absolutely fantastic and i highly recommend booking your wedding here or any event. Or even just to stay here. Will definitely return for a hotel stay soon.

Our Wedding Review
We recently had our wedding reception at Cave Hotel, firstly I want to say a massive thank you to Megan who helped us get ready on the morning and brought us anything we needed to our room (Bridal Suite), to Yas for going above and beyond and making sure the day went to plan - even when our dance floor which we hired through another company didn’t arrive, she made sure we got one literally last minute through another company - Angel! To Maddie for being our point of call for everything wedding and keeping us up to date with the amazing changes happening throughout the couple of years since booking at the Cave, to the amazing reception team for looking after us and for going the extra mile, nothing was a problem and they were happy to move mountains for us and any guests staying there we saw. Thank you also to Paolo who was very kind and helped me unload my car after a very long journey, and took everything to where it needed to be, and also to Sergio, both who were brilliant with us and made us feel very welcome during our stay there.
We had our reception in the marquee, the whole of the outdoor area and parking around the marquee was allocated to us as well which was really handy with the kids wanting to run around outside.
The marquee, as marquees go is really nice, it has its own full size fully stocked bar and it’s own toilets, large outside seating area and is away from the rest of the hotel guests. We had KC weddings and events come in to decorate the marquee for us and our 65 guests, the Cave provided the food, for which they do different packages or you can hire the entire hotel at a reasonable price. We previously went in for a food and wine tasting session in their Firepit restaurant at the hotel, which was lovely. The food was amazing (as was all the food at the hotel whilst we stayed) and they catered for allergies and vegans too.
The service we received throughout our entire day/night and our stay here was 5*, every member of staff that works here goes above and beyond, it’s not just a job to any of them, they generally care and are passionate about what they do.
We first looked around here when the hotel was being built, we had a feeling it would be perfect for us, and it was, just driving up to the hotel you get a sense that it’s something special and we really wanted that wow moment for our family
and friends, everyone said it was the best wedding they had been to, and everyone was on cloud 9 with happiness, so thank you to everyone at the Cave Hotel for everything, we’re so lucky to have such special memories of our wedding at this amazing place. I would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding location, and by the sounds of the sort of stuff they’re planning with the expansion of the hotel and grounds, it’s going to be even more spectacular!
We can’t wait to come back for our first wedding anniversary.
