Twilight Weddings in Kent

A later-in-the-day celebration

Twilight weddings in
The Apple Barn

A rustic barn of oak beams and original character, wrapped in thousands of fairy lights, with an enclosed CourtYard glowing under festoon lights. A later ceremony that flows straight into an evening party, with none of the formal meals, speeches or table plans. Up to 85 for the ceremony and 95 more for the evening.

Two ways to
say “I do”

A Twilight wedding still gives you a beautiful choice of ceremony, inside the fairy-lit barn or out under the CourtYard sky.
