Best Venue in Kent and probably the UK!
The venue itself is stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding, but what really sets it apart is the incredible team behind it. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day.
We genuinely believe that without their support, organisation, and attention to detail, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the day as much as we did. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt completely looked after from start to finish.
The food was also outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests. A huge thank you to the chef and the entire team for delivering such an amazing experience.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone involved and would not hesitate to recommend The Old Kent Barn to anyone looking for a wedding venue. If you choose to get married here, you're in very safe hands.
The Old Kent Barn is fantastic!
They were attentive, flexible and well organised. They endeavoured to ensure the day went off without a hitch, and we really got the impression that they were passionate about that endeavour.
The venue itself is also beautiful, seeing my wife walk through wisteria arched aisle made the whole ceremony almost dreamlike and picturesque.
We have, and will continue to, recommended them to family and friends.
Always
James and Melissa Mangan
Best day ever!
Simply the best
Service of a difference
Couldn’t have wished for more
Above and Beyond
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

From the very moment we booked, the staff were so helpful and supportive. There was never a single stressful moment in the whole planning process because they were always on hand to answer questions and help with every little detail. Their communication and care made everything so easy and enjoyable.
On the big day, the service was completely faultless. Everything ran so smoothly, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. The food was incredible, all of our guests are still talking about how delicious it was!
Every single detail was thought of, and we truly had the most perfect day at the most perfect venue, surrounded by the most amazing people who made it all possible. We can’t recommend The Old Kent Barn highly enough it was everything we dreamed of and more!
Best Day Ever!
Happiest Day of our lives and all thanks to 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.
