    Above and Beyond

    We had our wedding here in October and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From our very first visit we knew this venue was something special, and the team made the entire planning process feel smooth, organised and completely stress-free.

    Our coordinator, Claire, was exceptional. She was incredible every step of the way and always on hand to help with anything we needed. Her organisation, attention to detail and support meant everything ran so seamlessly on the day, and we truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.

    We also had young children in our bridal party and the staff were amazing with them, making them feel comfortable and included throughout the day. It meant so much to us that they were looked after so well.

    The venue itself is stunning and created the most beautiful setting for our wedding day. Everything looked incredible and ran so smoothly from start to finish. We are still receiving so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how well the whole day was organised.

    Thank you so much to Claire and the entire team for making our wedding day so special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate such an important day.

    Highly recommend

    I cannot recommend TOKB enough, from our very first contact with them enquiry right through to our very special day they were amazing! Their attention to detail, professionalism, care, love, and responsiveness was outstanding. They think of every little detail making the journey enjoyable and stress free allowing you to soak in every milestone of your journey and big day! Nothing was too small for the team and everyone at TOKB was truly amazing and lovely! If we could do it all again we wouldn’t change a thing, they made our day perfect!

    Picture perfect venue!!

    When we came to visit TOKB for the first time, we simply fell in love with it! The staff, the venue itself & the food is all just amazing, there is nothing bad to be said about anything!
    This is a definite venue to add to your viewing list at the minimum! You won’t regret it!
    Thank you Claire for making our day so special, we’re sad we can’t relive it over and over again!
    Lots of love, The Watsons xxx

    4th of May

    Visited OKB and instantly knew its where I wanted to get married! Me and my partner went to book a date but it gets booked up fast and I now know why! We managed to secure the 04/05/25.

    From there we were invited to tours and taster evening which was just amazing (so much food).
    They have a portal which you organise your wedding on and its so easy to use but if you have any questions you can call and ask or email.

    The staff… they make this place! Nothing is too much to ask and everyone is super helpful! We dealt with Chloe and Elsie and both were amazing on the lead up to the wedding and Elsie was just superb on the day! Cant thank her enough for all her help and patience.

    I honestly can’t do the OKB justice in the review as there is just so much to say! The venue is gorgeous, they can help you with recommended suppliers which is really helpful.

    The venue is just beautiful and all my guests complimented it, there is also beautiful rooms to get ready/stay over in with a breakfast in the morning.

    We had the best day of our lives! And thats all down to these guys! Book you will not be disappointed.

    Best Day Ever!

    We had our wedding at The Old Kent Barn and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Everything was incredibly well planned and organised from start to finish. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It made for the most amazing setting for our ceremony and reception. We felt completely supported throughout the planning process and on the day itself. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience.

    Happiest Day of our lives and all thanks to the old Kent barn

    We would just like to give a huge heart felt thank you to all of the team at The Old Kent Barn.

    We had our special day on a sun filled day on 3rd January 2025 surrounded by all our family and loved ones.
    Our wedding was brought forward with 6 months due to doctors advice to my wife.

    They couldn’t of been more helpful. Helped us through every step of the way and guided us through the entire process.

    This was an absolute god send to my wife who is regularly in and out of Kings College Hospital.
    The team took all the stress and worry from us and were always on hand in with any questions.
    They were absolutely awesome. They are extremely well organised and ensured everything went well.

    Our fairy tale wedding became a reality and we owe this to all the team.

    We’d like to give an extra special shout out to Chloe, our wedding co-ordinator. You were awesome!
    If anyone is looking for a venue for their special day then look no further than The Old Kent Barn.

    You made our fairy tale wedding a reality and we’ll be forever grateful to you all.

    Best day of our lives, perfect venue

    Myself and my husband married at the stunning Old Kent Barn in October and had the best day of our lives. The staff were amazing throughout the whole process from securing a date all the way to end day after the big day. Our wedding coordinator in particular Claire was just amazing and so helpful and resourceful. We would highly recommend the venue to anyone!

    Fantastic venue

    We got married at TOKB and it was flawless from the very first moment we’ve signed to the wedding day itself.

    The whole process was very smooth and they have thought about every little detail. Their portal is very comprehensive and they help you to plan your wedding and make sure you cover every aspect of your day.

    They really do go above and beyond and they run the wedding almost military style (in a good way!). They make sure you are on track without being pushy. Everything is done seamlessly and in the background. You never know they are there!

    The venue is fantastic and there’s very little you need to do to decorate. It’s just down to individual themes and table decorations. It allows you to take great photos as the venue and the gardens are beautiful.

    The food was great. The portions were massive and it tasted great. You won’t be leaving the wedding being hungry.

    All in all, they have thought about everything, including the tiniest details. Even at the end of the night, the have made sure that there was some evening food left for us in our bedroom.

    We’ve had a great wedding at TOKB and we are very grateful to the venue and the staff for making it perfect.

    The BEST of the best when it comes to weddings! More than just a venue!🤍

    I would recommend TOKB to every single couple out there! They are more than just a venue - the staff here cater to you as if you are family, and gave us the wedding day of our dreams! Each staff member goes above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect, and you get a wedding coordinator who basically ensures everything on the day goes smoothly. They took all the burden of the stress so my partner and I could just be present and enjoy our day. I’m so glad we chose the Old Kent Barn, as my partner and I know not every venue is as thorough and caring as them (from stories from our friends and family about their weddings). Thank you TOKB - we love you!!
