We both feel in love with this venue it has so much chacter and charm. We just knew it. was the place The High Rocks offers four function rooms
but we where looking mainly at The Bell Room (pictured oposite) The room has two entrances one leading up from reception and one from the gardens. It also has it own bar and toilets. The size is nice and intamate for the estimated 50 guests at this time. The stone walls wooden beams and vine covered windows all add to the romantic feel of this room.
We are also considering The Presidents Suite ~(Pictured Left). Overlooking the valley and gardens, this light airy room provides a wonderful atomosphere. It has a dance floor, private bar, clockroom and toliets with easy access to the loby and gardens. This room has a min Number of 80 pepole. But On secound visit we deicded was a much better room for our uses and after talking to the owner about the cost of catering and drinks we discovered it was within
our budget to invite all 80 Guests for the whole day rather than 50 for the day and 30 in the evening. So After some more number crunching we decided to book The Preidents Suite For Our Wedding

Picture's we took of the venue

more to come I assure you!!
The Venue is also on a old restored steam train line
So offers something speacil for the Bride's arrival
and has it own station at the bottom of the Garden
The Decision Makeing:-
Its been a really hard job to decide on a Venue with so many loverly places to get married we had no idea where to begin.
We are looking at a varity of Venues. In the Tunbridge Wells Area of Kent as we both have family in that area. We are proberly going to have a civial Cermonay at a hotel for two reasons 1st we like the idea of having it all in one place so pepole can go off and have a rest to recharge during the day and 2nd niether of us are very reglious. but this decistion isnt final yet. As "walking down the aisle" of a pretty little church before the reptiotion still has tradtional romantic fell we like too. so many destionsThese are the places we settled on to find out more with links to there websites (where they have them) with a breif reasons why they where ruled out
