Escape the world, enjoy our hospitality and rest a while. Just 35 minutes by train from London.
Our STUNNING, higgledy-piggledy GRADE II Listed wedding venue is set within the historic precincts of Rochester, kent
Celebrate with your closest friends and family, in our small but perfectly formed venue.
Just a stone’s throw away from Rochester Castle and Rochester Cathedral is The Vines of Rochester. Formerly The Old Archdeaconry, we have lovingly restored and improved this magnificent building to create a magical venue.
For those staying at the vines, each one of our guest rooms has a unique look and feel, inspiring rest and relaxation. From copper baths or views of the Cathedral, to quirky passageways that reveal hidden rooms, each suite has its own personality – all individually-designed with handpicked furnishings, textiles and fine linens - to ensure you and your guests stay is as comfortable as it is unforgettable.
When it comes to celebrating with your friends and family, The Vines will provide a warm welcome, professional and efficient service creating the perfect sense of occasion
Within the property, there are many areas for you and your guests to enjoy inside and out. With a well manicured garden your guests have plenty of space to roam. The beautifully designed 12 bedrooms will wow and inspire your guests during their stay.
We have a Nordic style ‘Tipi’ installed in the garden, this brilliant addition is the location for our wedding ceremonies. A fantastic & atmospheric location.
We offer two very different ways to celebrate your special day, a ‘festival’ style wedding day and a more traditional day with a wedding breakfast.
Festival Style Wedding

- live music, plenty of food & drink options
