About Riverhill Himalayan Gardens
A totally unique venue with stunning walled garden for your ceremony and arrival drinks (complete with fountains), secluded, pristine lawn for your marquee and fabulous gardens and views for your guests to enjoy. Dry hire only for a relaxed, informal, personal day.
Riverhill Gardens is a beautiful historic Gardens, dating back to the 1800's. We have the most amazing views across the Weald of Kent as well as over 12 acres of Gardens for your guests to enjoy.
At Riverhill we offer ground hire only so you get the perfect backdrop for your day whilst being able to build and create a very personal and unique set up. Every couple we have here puts their own unique stamp on Riverhill & we love to see what people do.
We are now taking bookings for ceremonies and receptions or receptions only (ceremonies from 2:30, reception arrivals from 3:00) for 2023 and beyond.
Say your vows in the romantic serenity of our stunning Walled Garden. You will exchange vows under the vaulted wooden roof of our Himalayan Hut, surrounded by climbing roses and vines. After your ceremony (or when you arrive with us if you are having just your reception here) enjoy drinks on the terraces of our beautiful Walled Garden. Your guests will be wowed by the central water feature with fountains and the carefully manicured terraces. With seasonal blooms and views across the Weald of Kent it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of your guests.
Most of our couples stay in the Walled Garden for a couple of hours, sometimes choosing to take some time out in the rest of the Gardens with their photographer, before processing along the Rose Walk and down to the Old Tennis Court Lawn, where your marquee goes up. With far reaching views & perfect lawn it is large enough to fit a marquee for up to 250 guests on it. With room left over for games or seating.
We only take a small number of weddings each year at Riverhill to ensure that our lawn remains pristine and our couples feel special and important.

FAQs
You will have exclusive use of certain areas of our Gardens; the marquee lawn and the ceremony space you chose will be closed off just for you & your guests. The rest of our Gardens do remain open to the public until 5pm, so after that the entire Gardens will be just for your use.
Yes we are, we have three Ceremony spaces to choose from: our lovely, romantic Walled Garden with sculptured lawn terraces and fountain centrepiece or our intimate Summerhouse or you can choose our indoor option - the very elegant Garden Room. We are licenced for 120 guests for the ceremony.
Yes. Both our Walled Garden and Summer House are outdoors with gorgeous views. When you hire Riverhill for your ceremony you also have use of our Garden Room as an indoor alternative incase the weather is not too good on the day. We try to be as flexible as possible on this to try to ensure you get the day you really want.
No. Please feel free to source your alcohol from wherever you like we will not take any corkage.
Yes. We are a dry hire venue so you need to choose your marquee and caterer from our 'Recommended Suppliers' list. These are all people who we have worked with previously and are confident to recommend. We find this gives everyone greater peace of mind. If you would like to use someone else we ask that we get to meet with them first and we do charge an 'off list fee'.
You hire Riverhill for a four day period. So from 8am on Thursday (for a Saturday Wedding) the marquee lawn is yours, until 5pm on the Sunday. We give you the gate code and you and your family and suppliers can come and go as you please and really enjoy the set up period. If you are using the Garden Room for your ceremony you can also start decorating from the Thursday. Our Walled Garden and Summer House are both natural beauties so don't really need anything adding, but your florist can deliver to those areas on the morning of the ceremony. We try to be as flexible as possible so if there are things you would like to do please just ask.
We ask for music off at midnight. Guests to have left by 12:30, all suppliers etc by 1:00. Riverhill is a family home so we need to have a curfew!
No. Live music is great, just needs to wrap up by Midnight please.
I'm afraid not, we have cattle in the neighbouring fields.
Absolutely, please make it petals or biodegradable.
Yes, in jars and disposed of carefully please.
No. We have no on site accomodation here.
No.
