FAQ's about Wedding Venues in Kent

Kent is a treasure trove of different wedding venues, with more choice in Kent than any other county. Historic castles, barns, farms, country houses, city hotels and even a safari park, it really is quite hard to beat when it comes to choice.

Kent offers excellent accessibility from London, via the A2, M20 and regular trains from St Pancras, Tower Bridge and Victoria, making it a really convenient location for couples in the South East. Its proximity to London, with many venues within an hour by train, allows friends and family to easily travel to venues in Kent without the need to stay overnight.

Yes, if you're interested in showcasing local ingredients and promoting sustainability at your wedding, Kent is a fantastic location. It's known as the Garden of England for a good reason, and there are also many vineyards producing local wine. Many wedding venues in the area either produce their own food and wine or partner with local farms and vineyards. Even if you choose a dry hire venue, their team often collaborates with local caterers and drinks suppliers who prioritise using locally sourced produce and supporting local farmers.

London prices are higher, both for the couple paying for the venue hire and catering, and for guests buying drinks at the reception. Kent venues tend to offer packages, with a good barn wedding in Kent costing around £15,000 to £19,000 for 80-100 guests including the ceremony, venue hire, catering and drinks. Catering and drinks make up around 50% of the cost. Accommodation is from £150 per double room in many standard Kent wedding venues, but much higher in luxury options such as Port Lympne.
