The feel

WEDDINGS AT THE BARN …

a more personal Wedding Venue

The Barn is often described as a charming and intimate property full of oak beams, character and atmosphere.

The Barn really is a more personal wedding venue, with no duty managers or wedding coordinators – just the personal attention of Philippe, General Manager, who will design the food and drink offering to your personal requirements and offer your guests a choice of menu. Philippe has successfully managed The Barn for 25 years.

There are absolutely no reception venue hire fees and no ‘hidden’ costs whether you are enjoying the exclusive use of the entire premises and garden or simply the restaurant.

The venue is delighted to have been selected as winners in the Kent Wedding Awards 2019 having previously won this prestigious award in 2016 and 2013. On winning the latest award the judges described The Barn as “Really living up to their claim of being ‘A more Personal Venue’ The Barn was loved by the judges as being a venue that really cares about what they do. Judges loved that couples can have its exclusive use and benefit from the great, fully inclusive packages offered – lovely venue with transparent pricing supported with great testimonials”

The award winning Courtyard style garden looks stunning during the day and beautifully illuminated by night.
