10
UNIQUE WEDDING VENUES IN KENT
A
Kent Wedding Photographers guide to choosing your dream wedding venue in Kent
As a Kent boy born and
raised, I never really understood the whole ‘Garden of England’ thing. Just
wander through Chatham or Gravesend on a Friday night and you’ll know what I
mean! But when I became a Kent wedding photographer, I finally got it. Because
there are so many amazing wedding venues in Kent, steeped in history and surrounded
by beautiful countryside. There’s so much diversity on offer it’s actually a
challenge to pick just one! So what’s the best wedding venue in Kent?
Well it all depends on
what you want. We’ve got stately homes, rustic barns, secluded woodlands,
fields of teepees, beachfront hotels and even a chapel on a farm! So whether
you want luxurious, relaxed, romantic or all-out-crazy, there’s a Kent wedding
venue for everyone. And as a Kent wedding photographer, I’ve been to my fair
share.
So I’ve put together a
list of my top 10 unique wedding venues in Kent based on my own experience, all
with their own character, their own pros and cons, and their own little
idiosyncrasies that give them that little nudge into the extraordinary.
Beacon
House - Whiststable
Located practically
right on the beach, Beacon House is my favourite all time wedding venue. I grew
up surrounded by sea air, and I felt right at home here. In fact, it's more
like a home than a wedding venue. The house itself would most likely be chosen
to film a new Mama Mia movie (if it wasnt set abroad of course!) It's rustic
design, small homely details and unique gardens make it the perfect venue for
intimate weddings.
The exterior of the
house has space for outdoor dining, perfect for the wedding speeches whilst
overlooking the ocean, and for of course, an outdoor ceremony. Of course having
only been here once, one could say the wedding guests and couple on the day
would have been the overriding factors which make this venue my favourite, I
can'y say for sure but until I am it reigns supreme on my venue list.
If you’re dreaming of an
outdoor wedding, The Old Kent Barn is probably one of the best wedding venues
in Kent. Nestled in beautiful countryside, with a picturesque wedding gazebo, a
lovingly tended rose garden and loads of cool outdoor spaces, it’s a
one-stop-shop for an awesome summer wedding. As far as I’m concerned, if
there’s ever a moment with a dog posing on a gazebo, it’s gonna be a good day.
But even if the weather
doesn’t play ball (and let’s face it, it might not), you could spend the whole
day indoors and you’re still onto a winner. The luxurious bridal prep room is a
perfect space to get ready with your bridesmaids in the morning. And the barn
itself feels modern and clean, but still manages to keep its rustic charm. Huge
windows flood your reception in natural light, so it’s nice and bright and airy
and just perfect for photos.
And last- but by no
means least- the food rocked my world.
