The Ferry House Reviews (122) Write a review Perfect day Venue Service By Mike and Sue, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 Mike and I would really like to thank Victoria and her team in helping to deliver the perfect day for us. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. The food and service were both excellent and their chef was very accommodating to the needs of our guests. All our guests did comment that The Ferry House Inn is a beautiful venue in a unique setting and we would like to once again thank you and we hope to see you all soon.We all loved it Venue Service By Emma & lee, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 Everything went perfectly, the staff were excellent, the food was amazing and everyone loved it, there was a great choice of food as well. Every recommended supplier i.e. toast master and DJ were brilliant and we were not disappointed. Victoria was excellent in helping us arrange everything and her support was brilliant. The day was very well organised and perfect. Firework display was great value for money and they looked very professional and added a massive wow factor highlight.Fell in love Venue Service By Richard and Gemma, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 My friend told me about it and said lets go have a nose, after months of viewing different venues around Kent including castles, hotels, halls I thought what have I got to lose? First impressions when arriving were really good, amazing views over the estuary, beautiful outside seating areas. We decided to have lunch in the bar before our meeting, we were not disappointed the food was delicious and good value for money. All of the staff were friendly and inviting. Once our lunch was over we were greeted by the wedding coordinator who took us through to the barn and in that moment not only was I blown away I cried as I knew that this was the venue for us! Two days later I took my fiancé back and he too fell in love ! We then spent many an afternoon coming for lunches and drinks with friends and family! Sure enough two years flew and it was our wedding day and it was most definitely the best day of our lives, all of the staff made our vision and dreams of our day come to life! There is no doubt that The Ferry House Inn will continue to go from strength to strength which is evident to see within the last three years the popularity and great reputation of such a beautiful place! From start to finish nothing has been too much trouble even with endless emails of questions and requests from me! We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and patience with us!Beautiful venue Venue Service By Edward and Joanne, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 The Ferry House Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only was the venue beautiful, the staff were amazing and did everything you could want. Our whole experience from our first quote to picking up our things after the day was fantastic.Will recommend!! Venue Service By Rachel, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 ?We would not hesitate to recommend The Ferry House Inn as a wedding venue to anyone who would listen! The staff are both professional and friendly, the atmosphere throughout our wedding day was so relaxed and the food incredible. We couldn't have asked for more.Fab! Venue Service By Ashley & Dan, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 ?We had our wedding reception here, following our ceremony at the beautiful church around the corner. Fantastic reception venue. Beautiful barn which serves as gorgeous rustic dining/reception area, which in its basic form is perfectly lovely, but once styled in the wedding decor it was just breathtaking! We also hired the 9x9 marquee with the LED dance floor, and giant LOVE letters for the evening part, it looked fantastic and created a great space for people to dance. This meant we got a private wedding bar in the barn, this kept all the guests in one part of the venue, creating a busy party atmosphere. The wedding coordinator Kelci was fantastic, from booking over a year in advance, right up to the day she was so helpful and knowledgable, she gave us lots of good advice which we followed, and the result was a wedding day so far beyond all of our expectations. The staff on the day of the wedding were fab, the service was impeccable And ran like a well oiled ship. The food was perfection, with many guests commenting that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. The rooms above the venue were lovely, and we rented all the mocketts farm cottages too for the weekend, which were fab. We can't recommend The Ferryhouse Inn highly enough. So thank you to all at the FHI for helping us to have the very best day of our lives Ashley & Dan xxxxxPerfect venue Venue Service By Christine, on 29 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2018 ?We have wanted to be married for 5 years, but with 2 children we had neither the money or time to plan our wedding. We came across The Ferry House Inn by recommendation and after we visited, we knew we had found our venue. The price list is very clear and detailed; meaning we could tailor our wedding to suit our preferences (and budget). Leading up to the wedding, we were supported by Emily, (our wedding planner) along with the other staff members to ensure everything went perfectly. We had to make some short notice changes and The Ferry House were very accommodating. We are very pleased with how our wedding went and the food was delicious! We have already recommended it as a venue for a friend's wedding. Couldn't be more happy.
