Preston Court

Preston Court is a listed Georgian manor house and magnificent 17th century Kentish oak Barn, surrounded by ornamental lakes and woodland, set in 550 acres of stunning secluded private estate. This is a new, family run venue for weddings, set in the heart of the Kent countryside, yet within easy distance from London. Couples have three choices for their wedding ceremony - the enchanting 12th century St. Mildred's Church which sits within the estate at Preston Court, in the gardens on Juliana's medieval moated island in a pretty garden folly, OR in the fantastic Kentish Barn. Receptions can then follow on in the fine oak barn.

A Preston Court you can, of course, enjoy the traditional white wedding but we can also offer you something a bit different.  There is a beautiful Victorian Carousel and some 1920's Art Deco mechanical fairground organs here which are available for hire and add that extra ‘WOW’ factor.  We have a range of themes, plans and decoration ideas which can be tailored as desired. Themes such as 'Rustic Romance,' 'Country house,''Rural Charm,' 'Vintage Fairgound,' 'Medieval Banquet' are perfect for this setting. Choose from a selection of fabulous caterers.

      Super gardens, super service!
      Despite the inclement weather we still managed to use the gardens and have our photographs taken, armed with umbrella's. Our family & guests loved it and all said how lucky we were with finding the venue.

      Beautiful Grounds
      We were lucky to find this one as we really wanted somewhere where we could have a vintage theme and an English country garden party. We were really lucky with the weather and we managed to have a Champagne reception on the lawn in front of the manor house. Lovely!

      So much charm
      A hidden gem of a wedding venue. We loved the flexibility you allowed us in planning our day. The vintage ice cream van was a real crowd pleaser and the children loved the peacocks.

      Thank you for making our wedding feel so special and
      Preston Court is a real corker of a venue and really is as it says in the description. A true family farm with all the charming characteristics you can imagine, the birds and natural wildlife are incredible. Peacocks and even gorgeous foals in the paddocks nearby. Thank you for being so relaxed and allowing us to decorate the barn with wild flowers and beautiful swags.
