Weddings at Preston Court

Ceremony Locations

3 places to tie the knot.

The 17th century ‘Kentish’ Barn can be used for civil marriages, the renewal of vows, naming ceremonies and civil partnerships on every day of the week.

 

This is a simple but enchanting open-framed wooden building which can seat up to 120 people for ceremonies and receptions. There is a maximum capacity of up to 150 guests in the evening.

 

The space is versatile and can be decorated and themed to your requirements, while we also have an number of suitable plans and table dressing ideas.

Licensed for outdoor weddings and blessings, this romantic island sits within the front lake at Preston Court.

 

Walk up the isle by crossing the pretty iron bridge.

 

Then have your intimate ceremony underneath the stunning wedding pagoda, craddled by an ancient yew tree.

 

Guests can watch the ceremony from rows of seating on the adjacent lawn.

Why not have a church wedding?

 

It’s now possible to marry in a church where you are not a member of the Parish.

 

St Mildred’s Church directly adjoins the gardens and farm at Preston Court, being less than 100 meters from the Kent Barn where receptions and celebrations can be held.

 

This gorgeous rural church has pre-Saxon origins and is surrounded by open farmland.

 

Church of England weddings are available at St Mildred’s, including to those with no prior connection to the parish, after agreement with the Reverend & Church Wardens. For further information please contact the Church Administrator, Shannon Pemberton on 07505 331832, or you can email [email protected]

  • Beautiful Preston Court Wedding... In August I had the privilege to 2nd shoot with the lovely Eliza Claire, Michelle & Peter’s beautiful wedding.
