About St Martin's Priory

A Grade II listed Jacobean Georgian wedding venue, St Martin’s Priory is nestled within private gardens and offers you seclusion throughout your day. Picture a drinks reception on the Tudor lawn and stroll through the Rose Garden admiring the views of the historic Canterbury Cathedral from the top lawn, a stunning backdrop for your wedding photography.

For an intimate wedding breakfast, our historic Frederic Mason Room offers a warm and charming setting for you and up to 40 guests to enjoy a traditional wedding breakfast. For larger parties, our gardens offer the ideal backdrop for a marquee reception and we can provide a bespoke wedding breakfast, based on your requirements.

During the summer months of July and August, we are able to offer 5* University accommodation for your guests. Providing peace of mind for those travelling from afar. Our accommodation is set within the heart of the city centre with picturesque views of Canterbury Cathedral and is just a short walk from St Martin’s Priory. We can offer group discount and early weekend check-in (available on request). The guests will be able to stay in a whole flat together.
