Celebration of Life & Wake Venue in Kent
Every life is different, and we believe every farewell should feel personal too.
Whether you are planning a traditional wake, a celebration of life or an intimate gathering with close family and friends, we will work with you to create the occasion you feel is right.
Our aim is simple: to take care of the details so that you can concentrate on being with the people who matter most.
Food Arranged Your Way
Food and refreshments can be organised entirely around your wishes.
You may prefer a relaxed buffet, afternoon tea, light refreshments or something more formal.
For those wanting a more bespoke experience, private chef service can also be arranged, allowing a menu to be created especially for your gathering.
Waiter and waitress service can be provided, helping everything run smoothly and allowing you and your guests to simply be together.
Every Detail Handled With Care
We understand that arranging a celebration of life can come at an emotional and difficult time.
That is why we will approach every detail with kindness, sensitivity and care.
From the layout of the room and food arrangements to flowers, music and the atmosphere you wish to create, we will help make the gathering feel personal to the person whose life you are celebrating.
It may be elegant and traditional.
It may be relaxed and informal.
It may be filled with photographs, favourite music, stories and laughter.
There is no right or wrong way to remember someone.
Beautiful Surroundings for Family and Friends
Loyterton Sanctuary offers a peaceful alternative to a busy hotel, pub or function room.
Our countryside surroundings provide space to talk, reflect, share memories and spend meaningful time together in a setting that feels calm and private.
We welcome families from across Kent and surrounding areas, as well as those travelling from further afield.
Accommodation for Up to 12 Guests
For families travelling some distance, or for those who simply do not want to rush home after an emotional day, accommodation is available for up to 12 guests.
Staying overnight can give close family and friends valuable additional time together in peaceful surroundings.
