A Fun-Filled Wedding at Marleybrook House in Canterbury, Kent

Featuring our beautiful Chilham Bride, Ellis, wearing Justin Alexander.

We’re so excited to share the gorgeous wedding day of our lovely bride Ellis and her new husband Duncan, who celebrated their marriage at the ever-popular Marleybrook House on 29th May 2025.

Set in the Kent countryside, Marleybrook House is known for its whimsical charm and vintage funfair – the perfect setting for a relaxed, joy-filled day with plenty of laughter, fun, and memorable moments. Surrounded by family, friends, and glorious (if slightly unexpected!) sunshine, Ellis and Duncan’s celebration was nothing short of magical.

Here’s what Ellis had to say about their special day:

“Our wedding day was amazing – a beautiful ceremony, incredible venue, and everyone’s highlight was the funfair! We were lucky with the weather as it poured in the morning, but the sun came through for us just in time.
We’re both food-obsessed, so we were thrilled that the food was delicious – we had a chilled-out BBQ, pizza, cake and even a crisp wall! With so many children at the wedding, Marleybrook was perfect – the fair and the play park kept them entertained all day. It was honestly an unforgettable day!”

Ellis found her dream dress at Bridal Boutique at Chilham in August 2024- the stunning ‘Cady’ gown by Justin Alexander. This soft tulle A-line dress features a delicately embellished bodice of silver crystals, sequins and beading that adds a real sense of luxury and elegance to an effortlessly wearable silhouette.

“Buying my dress at Chilham Bridal was so chilled out. Carly was lovely and really helped me to look through lots of different styles. She made me feel so comfortable but also gave great advice – and that’s how I found my dream dress!”

Ellis, you looked absolutely breathtaking- it was such a pleasure to meet you and help you on your dress journey. We’re so happy to have played a small part in your incredible day.

To Mr & Mrs Forbes- we wish you a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and more delicious food!

With love,
The Chilham Bridal Team xx
