The Salomons Events Team has taken first place in the ‘Best Events Team’ category at the Kent Wedding Awards [KWA] 2021/22.
It comes following one of the most difficult years for the wedding sector that has had to cope with lockdowns and other Covid restrictions.
Each year over 7000 couples choose Kent to get married, and the KWA celebrates the best venues in the county.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the Salomons Estate in Broomfield Road, which is run by Elite Leisure Collection, owner of the Times, had a record year in 2021, with over 60 weddings booked after many were delayed from the previous year due to the coronavirus.
This came after registars found themselves booked up in the summer following the high number of cancelled ceremonies last year due to the virus.
Salomons, which was the former home of Lord Mayor of London and one of the first Jewish MPs in the House of Commons, Sir David Salomons, has over 36 acres of sprawling gardens and woodland, and a variety of rooms and spaces including a Victorian theatre which can seat 220 guests.
Judges from the KWA said of the Salomons events team that they ‘were particularly impressed with their high levels of customer service and bespoke wedding packages’ at the estate.
Fiona Massingham, Events Team Manager at the Salomons Estate, said: “It’s a great accolade for the team to win the award after a difficult year.
“And is testament to the hard work and great customer service they’ve all put in over the last 12 months.”
