Tea for Two – A Time to Celebrate

A perfect match: Afternoon Teas at Bilsington Priory and Elope Weddings in Kent join forces.

Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, Bilsington Priory has long been a place where time stands still, history whispers from ancient walls, and romance feels utterly timeless. Now, this enchanting location becomes even more magical with the exclusive collaboration between Afternoon Teas at Bilsington Priory and Elope Weddings in Kent.

A Celebration of Elegance and Intimacy

This unique partnership brings together two local favourites, each celebrated in their own right for curating beautiful, meaningful experiences. By combining the charm of Bilsington’s afternoon teas with the personal, stress-free style of elopement weddings, couples can now enjoy a seamless celebration that blends timeless tradition with modern simplicity. Imagine exchanging vows in the serene, private grounds of Bilsington Priory – a 13th-century monastery steeped in history – followed by a quintessentially English afternoon tea served in the elegant priory dining room or al fresco in the beautiful mature gardens. It’s romantic, intimate, and effortlessly beautiful.

The Details That Make it Special

Every element of this collaboration has been thoughtfully designed to offer couples a relaxed yet luxurious experience. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Exquisite Afternoon Tea: Think freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, delicate finger sandwiches, and artfully crafted patisserie, all served with fine teas or a celebratory glass of fizz.
  • Curated Elopement Packages: With Elope Wedding’s signature approach, couples enjoy beautifully styled micro-weddings with all the essential elements covered: celebrant-led ceremonies, floral arrangements, photography, and now, an unforgettable tea experience.
  • A Setting Like No Other: With its ancient stone walls, historic fishponds, and sweeping views across the Romney Marsh, Bilsington Priory provides a backdrop that’s as stunning as it is serene.

Why This Collaboration Matters

In an age where more couples are choosing meaningful, smaller-scale weddings over traditional big affairs, this partnership couldn’t come at a better time. It’s not just about cutting stress – though it certainly does that – it’s about creating space for what truly matters: the love between two people, celebrated with elegance, intention, and joy.

Whether you’re planning a spontaneous elopement or a romantic vow renewal, the combined team at Afternoon Teas at Bilsington Priory and Elope Weddings in Kent is ready to make your day unforgettable.
