About Bewl Water

Bewl Water is a lakeside venue in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where The Boat House hosts ceremonies and receptions at the water's edge.

Bewl Water sits in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Kent, on the edge of the largest stretch of open water in the South East. Weddings are held in The Boat House, which stands at the water's edge with panoramic views across the reservoir and woodland on every side.

The Boat House is licensed for both ceremony and reception, so a couple can marry and celebrate in the same place. A ceremony can host up to 60 guests indoors or 80 outdoors, and the room can be dressed to suit the style of the day. Exclusive use applies to The Boat House, though not to Bewl Water as a whole. Catering is prepared by the on-site chefs, using local suppliers and fresh produce.

The wedding package includes hire of The Boat House, a three-course set menu for the wedding breakfast, half a bottle of house wine per person with the meal, a glass of sparkling house wine for the toasts, a canape and prosecco drinks reception, and an evening buffet for all daytime guests. Rooms for overnight guests are available at One Warwick Park Hotel or Salomons Estate.
