We love our maypole – its just makes the barnyard come alive and brings everyone together. As the sun sets behind the carousel, your first dance can take place outside beneath all the twinkly lights. Last Friday we had 90 people under the maypole all dancing and a Blue moon to top it off. It was a very special moment.

2023 seems to be the year of the tradition and we LOVE it. Not only does it bring families closer together but it encourages creativity and this is so special.
We encourage all of our couples to cut their cake, throw the bouquet but also to welcome the couple into the Barn with applause and a lot of napkin twirling. We have a special Rumba song we play on the musical organ and it creates an unforgettable ambience for the entrance of the Bride and Groom.
Napkin twirling is a French Tradition and Preston Court has borrowed it. Its just perfect. Combined with the sound of the jazzy organs the atmosphere is just electric.
Get the whole FAMILY involved. Last weekend, the grooms grand mother who is 92 years old made 120 mint fancies which were given to the guests as wedding favours. The grooms father made their wedding cake, as this was their family tradition.
We have been gifted this jaw dropping sculpture, which was hand crafted using thousands of recycled biscuit tins.
We are proud to work with some wonderful local independent suppliers and Jonny from Songbird Wines is one of our favourites. Jonny has been in the wine trade for more than 20 years and really knows his what he is talking about. His focus is on quality wine created by boutique growers from Italy, Spain and France. He has a large range of wines from around the world, so will be able to offer something for everyone.
We are so lucky to have some cracking English wines grown in this corner of Kent, so why not support our small independent local producers and buy English wine for your event.
