Honestly, I cannot find a fault. We booked the Moat around 2 years before our wedding date, booked from a Wedding Showcase. Sat down with Amanda and spoke through what we wanted, paid the deposit and walked out with huge smiles on our face. When I tell you that smile still hasn't stopped. We got assigned Aimee for our wedding and oh my gosh she is just amazing. Constant check ins, made us feel sure in our decisions and if we needed too face to face meetings. She truly is such a lovely person and really made this whole experience a lot less stressful. We got reminders when we needed to pay, had a food trial & exclusive evening events where we could take our parents so they can see the venue. On the day I stayed in the room the night before (this is dependant on if there is a wedding the day before/events etc, you'll find out 3 months before the wedding) where I stayed with my mum and 2 bridesmaids. We went for a meal in the restaurant the night before with my dad, brother and our little dog (who always loves coming with us) where we really enjoyed ourselves! Then back to the room to start wedding prep! The rooms are just gorgeous, the door that opens through was perfect. It was the perfect get ready spot, everyone felt comfortable and cared for. We had yoghurt, fruit and granola in the fridge ready for the morning, water and orange juice too. Which is a nice touch. Aimee came in and checked on us around every hour and a half/two hours to make sure we had everything we needed. She is just a natural at this kind of stuff, coming in & having a little dance with us to help calm nerves. She helped with the first look and made sure the photographer got the perfect angles! Then the wedding time came, all the guests went into the ceremony room, my bridesmaids & myself in the tap room ready to walk down the isle. A quick pep talk from the staff & Aimee and off we went. Music was timed perfect, my dress was fluffed before I walked down which I didn't even think of doing & we got married! After the ceremony, we went back up to the tap room & got our first drinks as a married couple handed to us. Which were just perfect, they were exactly what we needed. Our guests were so happy with the service of the bar staff who seemed to just love their jobs! After our drinks reception we went back down to the ceremony room for our wedding breakfast which was beautifully laid out by the team there, the food was served promptly. I cannot fault anything with the service, the food was delicious, Miles was always around with bottles of wine to top up ensured everyone always had a drink, served with a huge smile! Speeches came & the microphone came out, even that was perfect - we had a little fault with one of them but was seamlessly swapped over for a new mic! Once food was done it was dancing time, the in house DJ they have Carl is also Amazing! Made sure we had music played that we wanted, but when I tell you our dance floor was NEVER empty - I mean it! We danced our hearts out, had fun and shared love with the entire room. Once it was all over, we went back to our rooms for the night. Then up for breakfast with our guests the next morning, which was also, amazing. I think the one thing you have to take out of this review is that I genuinely cannot find any faults, it was the perfect day. From the staff, to the venue, to the food, every single little thing was perfect. Thank you to Aimee and the team at The Moat for making our day, just so perfect. I keep getting people raving about it and that is due to your service and delivery, thank you.

Myself and my wife had our wedding at the holiday inn, it was short notice booking leaving it 6 months till the big day after the appleyard in Sittingbourne closed its doors from being booked a year prior the big day, the holiday inn supported us with the venue and food and supported every question that we had. We cannot thank the holiday inn enough for their service in a making our special day the most magical day to remember, we would like to personally thank Dani for everything that she did for us going above and beyond to make our day so special you really did save us

We have just got married at bearsted golf club and I can't speak highly enough of everyone involved.We had such an amazing day which exceeded our expectations From the moment we met Aimie she guided us through the whole process until the final day she was just amazing.On the day of the wedding our dream came true.Imaan and Phil who ran out day were very professional and nothing was too much for them.Anyone that was thinking about booking this team will go all out for you. Resh and Michelle.

Incredible venue, really relaxed country vibe. Amazing staff and management, who really pride themselves on being the best. We had hog roast and sides which was so good, our guest said was some of the best dishes they had tasted, could not fault the whole day and their attentiveness to making the day go so smoothly.

We had our wedding reception at The Coach in August 24 and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Gemma went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly—she truly couldn’t do enough for us and was so accommodating throughout the entire process. It was a joy to meet her each time to discuss the plans and food choices. Every time we visited the Coach we were made to feel so welcome by everyone and it’s amazing we get to visit and remember our special day any time we like! The food was incredible, the team were absolutely amazing, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our guests were full of compliments, and one actually said, “Omg, the DJ needs to do an announcement about the brownies—they’re so good!” The venue is decorated so nicely we only had a florist add some vases to decorate. We had a singer & a DJ - both so much fun! And the Coache were really helpful with everyone involved. Thank you to everyone at The Coach for making our day so special. It was honestly the absolute BEST and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ✨

We booked last minute and nothing was to much trouble. The service was great, they answered our enquiry right away and were always happy to answer questions. The guests loved all the food, we had so many compliments. Thank you again.
