Rustically Elegant wedding venue

We got married at Kingston Country Courtyard. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it - the venue is spectacular! We did our research and they were very reasonably priced (especially in March!) All the reviews we read talked about the staff and how helpful they were - we couldn’t agree more. Julie met us several times across the period when we were planning our wedding and couldn’t help us more. We emailed her lots of questions which she was amazing at answering quickly. Ed (the chef) met us too on the food tasting evening to go through food intolerances, and served us with incredible food that we wouldn’t have known was gluten free. On the day, the whole team was amazing, Tony and Ed ran the venue and were really helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. We got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful the venue looked - we now have so many happy memories of Kingston Country Courtyard! We will definitely be back to stay!

The Best Day Ever!!

The team and facilities at Kingston Country Courtyard are fantastic!
From our first visit, we knew this was where we had to get married. The grounds are stunning, and the main venue is beautiful, with so much space and opportunity to dress it as you wish. Plus having so much accommodation on site meant we could have our family stay together for 3 nights and make the wedding last even longer!
During the whole run up to the wedding and on the day, my husband and I (and our guests) were blown away by how helpful, professional and friendly the whole team were. They went above and beyond with helping us to create our dream day and we honestly can not thank them enough.
For anyone thinking of looking at or booking Kingston Country Courtyard, we can assure you, you will not regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
