The BarnYard Venue Reviews

Words from real BarnYard couples

With love and excitement, The BarnYard Family

  1. We had our wedding at the BarnYard in September and it was the most magical day, the perfect venue and setting for what we were after. We had so many compliments from guests on the venue being stunning, beautiful Kent countryside, gorgeous outside ceremony area and idyllic orchards.

    Kate Spice September 2024 · Traditional

  2. Simply WOW. Such a beautiful and incredible venue. We had the Apple Barn for our ceremony and the marquee for the breakfast and reception, and both were just truly amazing. All the staff went above and beyond, never rushed anyone, always helped where needed. Worth every single penny.

    Mr & Mrs Munson February 2024 · Apple Barn

  3. Thank you all so much for turning our dream wedding into reality. Our guests still rave about how incredible the day was and how breathtaking your venue is. We wouldn't change a single thing about it. Everything was beyond perfect, and we are forever grateful.

    Jamie Paddington June 2024 · Arboretum

  4. The service on the day was absolutely impeccable. The staff truly went above and beyond to help us achieve our dream, from extensive planning to helping me surprise my groom, helping me walk in my dress, and coordinating between the live pianist and our music. I truly wish we could do the whole thing again.

    Jessica Shaw October 2023 · Traditional

  5. Fell in love with The BarnYard on our first viewing and knew it was 'The One'. We were shown around by the lovely Kirsty and she remained with us every step of the way, a touch that was really very special. Our twilight wedding in the Apple Barn was honestly magical.

    Mr & Mrs Stone June 2024 · Twilight

  6. What a fantastic wedding venue, so twinkly and beautiful! It was amazing that the catering was included, they were excellent with all our dietary needs, and everything was so delicious. The whole process couldn't have been easier. Choosing them was truly an easy decision!

    Rebekah Edwards August 2024 · Signature

  7. We had our twilight wedding at the BarnYard and we couldn't have asked for anymore. It was beyond perfect. The staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Even if we had a million pound to spend we would have still chosen the BarnYard.

    Acer & Hayley December 2023 · Twilight

  8. The venue was what I had in my head, my dreams came true. Best day, best team, best venue. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
