The Moat Made Our Wedding Truly Extraordinary
From the moment we booked our wedding at The Moat, we felt completely taken care of. The entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely magical, and we couldn’t have asked for better service and attention to detail.
The venue itself is breathtaking, offering the perfect backdrop for our celebration. From the start to the finish, the staff were exceptional, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to enjoy every moment without a worry. Aimie, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely instrumental in making the day stress-free. Her professionalism, support, and attention to every little detail made all the difference. Even when we showed up with a mountain of boxes, Aimie and the team handled it all without hesitation, nothing was too much trouble for them.
The food was beyond impressive, our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The chefs nailed the presentation, quality, and quantity, everyone was full heading into the evening festivities, where the bar staff kept everyone’s glasses full and spirits high all night. The venue’s décor was stunning, striking a perfect balance between our specifications and The Moat’s rustic charm. And the staff executed it all with remarkable efficiency and care.
We were also thrilled with how seamlessly additional venders like the photo booth and casino tables were incorporated into the day. The team handled everything with ease, making sure that the extra elements didn’t disrupt the flow of events but enhanced them.
On top of all of this, the on-site accommodation was perfect, comfortable, convenient, and easily accessible. The team even went above and beyond by packing everything up for us after the wedding, so we could easily collect our things the next day. It’s the thoughtful touches like this that truly set The Moat apart.
The care, kindness, and dedication we experienced from the team made us feel like we were their top priority. A month later, our guests are still raving about how incredible the day was, and it’s clear that none of it would have been possible without Aimie and the amazing team at The Moat.
If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, look no further. The level of care and professionalism they provide is unparalleled. They’ll take your vision and make it a reality, and probably even better than you imagined. We’ll forever be grateful to them for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. -

The Moat was the first wedding venue we went to look at and we knew immediately it was the one for us!
The barn is beautiful, rustic and the fairly lights and hops make it feel cosy and welcoming.
The team were incredible at organising everything including food, music, order of the day etc. The food was SO YUMMY and they went out of their way to cater for me being coeliac, and nut/lactose allergies for our guests. They even left a gluten free pizza and some of our wedding cake by our bed for after the party when we went back to our room!
We stayed in the on site hotel rooms the night before and the night of the wedding which are also beautiful- newly decorated and modern, ideal for the wedding party getting ready together with lovely big mirrors and even a mannequin for the dress.
We were SO chilled out the whole weekend- we had dinner and drinks in the pub the day/night before and then continental breakfast in our rooms whilst we got ready.
I honestly could not fault anything at all.
Aimie was an absolute legend throughout and put all our worries aside and ran with all the ideas we wanted. Zoe then took over on the day and despite being very pregnant ensured everything went perfectly!
We had the most amazing day and I know 2 of the friends that came have already recommended the venue for family friends looking for a wedding venue.
So many of our guests have been commenting on how beautiful the barn is.
Thank you guys so much, we've made memories to last a lifetime and wish we could do it all over again! -

We got married at The Moat on the 22nd March 2025, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. From start to finish, everything ran seamlessly - thanks to all of the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. Aimee and Amanda, the wedding coordinators, were especially helpful throughout the entire process. Their support, organisation, and calming presence made all the difference and helped everything come together so beautifully. The venue itself looked absolutely stunning; every detail was perfect and the atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for. We’re so grateful for such a perfect day! -

Perfect day , with dedicated staff
We had the most perfect day in December for our wedding! Very well organised , nothing too obscure or too much trouble for the team here. Amy was the lady running our day and despite never meeting her before it all ran smoothly and our requests were met regardless. The food was delicious and plentiful and everyone commented on how wonderful the whole day was. The venue itself is so beautiful and decorated so well that we really only added very few decorations ourselves as it was already so beautiful. - saving us a lot of work which was also a big reason for picking this venue! We stayed at the venue and the rooms were spotless, comfortable and convenient. Even the next day all our belongings were carefully packed and ready for us upon departure. -

Beautiful wedding venue in Kent
From the moment we walked into the Moat at the beginning of 2023 we knew it was the place we wanted to become Mr & Mrs. We were bowled over by the venue’s sheer beauty. It provided us with everything that we were looking for, rustic, charm and authenticity.
The staff quickly became friends, nothing was ever too much trouble. The wedding team catered to our every whim and never once got fed up of our endless questions or requests.
They helped to bring our vision to life which made the day even more magical.
We got married at Christmas and the venue was decorated perfectly, there was no need for us to add any further decoration which meant we kept the wedding looking simple and classic.
Just pop along to one of their wedding showcase events or contact the wedding team, you won’t regret it -

This was the perfect venue for our wedding. The team that looked after us were incredible. The organisation of everything throughout made it all so easy and relaxed. They catered for many different options so we were able to enjoy our wedding exactly as we wanted. And on the day it all went brilliantly. We particularly appreciated how the team had scheduled moments for my wife and I to enjoy by ourselves, to take a breath and absorb it all.
Everyone commented on how fabulous the venue looked. It required minimal decoration, which worked well as we needed to make a small budget go a long way. The rooms and bridal suite on site were also a wonderful addition, that added to the whole experience. A massive thank you from us to Amanda and the whole team! -

Wedding Sent on 10/11/2024Best wedding ever!
We cannot recommend The Moat enough....the truly pulled off the most incredible wedding for us. From our first visit, through all the planning and the day itself we had exemplary service, care, warmth and organisation. They made everything so easy, were willing to go above and beyond and put us at ease.
Special shout out to our coordinator on the day, Amy. When we arrived the day before to drop off our stuff she was so knowledgeable, helpful and calm as well as bringing such a positive vibe. All our family and guests commented on how wonderful she was.
The space is just so beautiful and all the facilities (including the hotel rooms) are top notch. The food was particularly spectacular, we had the family style service and everything was delicious, hot and plentiful.
The team at The Moat liaise with all your vendors and make everything so easy including the registrar people, band, photographer etc.
It's the perfect venue if you want somewhere that's going to make planning straightforward but at the same time not feel like it's just a cookie cutter wedding venue that pumps out weddings on repeat. The place is somewhere we'll always go back to as a pub for years to come and it's got a lot of character and charm. It was also comparably great value, wedding prices are usually extortionate but I think their rates are very fair.
We had the best day of our lives and highly highly recommend The Moat to anyone looking for a venue in the area. -
