Please can you pass on my words and let all the staff know how happy we are with everyone .Absolutely Loved It Venue Service By Amanda Gardener, on 22 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Aug 2019 We got married here in August and we absolutely loved it. The whole process went so smoothly and the building itself is beautiful. One of the main reasons we were drawn to this place was the food options - we were quite reluctant to have a traditional 3 course sit down meal, however the Darenth offers Afternoon tea, pub meals, 3 course meals and the one we chose which was a sit down BBQ. So many guests complimented the food & said how different and unique it was compared to other weddings they had been to.Magical Day Venue Service By Amanda & Lewis, on 31 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Aug 2019 I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everyone who helped with our wedding on Tuesday - we had the most magical day and it went so smoothly!
