“Did you know one of Rochester’s most beautiful wedding venues is hidden just a few steps from the High Street?
Unless you’ve been lucky enough to attend a wedding there, there’s a good chance you’ve never even seen inside The Vines of Rochester.
Tucked away behind Rochester Cathedral, this beautifully restored Grade II listed building (formerly The Old Archdeaconry) is now an exclusive-use wedding venue, complete with boutique bedrooms, stunning gardens and even a Nordic-style tipi for outdoor ceremonies. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from Rochester Castle and the High Street, yet feels like a hidden retreat.
We’ve been thinking about filming a full behind the scenes tour of the venue, showing you inside the house, the gardens, the ceremony spaces and all those hidden corners that most people never get to see.
Is that something you’d like to watch? 👇
If enough people are interested, we’ll reach out to them to see if they’d be ok us coming and filming something to give you a look inside one of Rochester’s best-kept secrets.
