    Fantastic venue

    We got married at TOKB and it was flawless from the very first moment we’ve signed to the wedding day itself.

    The whole process was very smooth and they have thought about every little detail. Their portal is very comprehensive and they help you to plan your wedding and make sure you cover every aspect of your day.

    They really do go above and beyond and they run the wedding almost military style (in a good way!). They make sure you are on track without being pushy. Everything is done seamlessly and in the background. You never know they are there!

    The venue is fantastic and there’s very little you need to do to decorate. It’s just down to individual themes and table decorations. It allows you to take great photos as the venue and the gardens are beautiful.

    The food was great. The portions were massive and it tasted great. You won’t be leaving the wedding being hungry.

    All in all, they have thought about everything, including the tiniest details. Even at the end of the night, the have made sure that there was some evening food left for us in our bedroom.

    We’ve had a great wedding at TOKB and we are very grateful to the venue and the staff for making it perfect.

    The BEST of the best when it comes to weddings! More than just a venue!🤍

    I would recommend TOKB to every single couple out there! They are more than just a venue - the staff here cater to you as if you are family, and gave us the wedding day of our dreams! Each staff member goes above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect, and you get a wedding coordinator who basically ensures everything on the day goes smoothly. They took all the burden of the stress so my partner and I could just be present and enjoy our day. I’m so glad we chose the Old Kent Barn, as my partner and I know not every venue is as thorough and caring as them (from stories from our friends and family about their weddings). Thank you TOKB - we love you!!

    Just incredible!

    We chose TOKB as our wedding venue and never once regretted our decision. They have been incredibly supportive through our plethora of questions and thoroughly looked after us from enquiry and beyond the big day. Every single member of staff works extremely hard - from grounds keepers to kitchen staff to bar staff to wedding coordinators - you name it! Nothing is too much trouble for anyone there as they purely want you to have the most special experience with them. I cannot recommend them enough!

    The Old Kent Barn was the most perfect venue!

    The Old Kent Barn was the most perfect venue! From the moment my now husband and I went for our first viewing right through until after the wedding the staff at the venue have been amazing - Ashleigh was our wedding coordinator and could not have been more helpful and on the day she was an absolute star and went well beyond her role in helping do things to ensure the day ran smoothly. The venue is STUNNING and the staff set everything up for you so that you can have the most relaxed wedding morning! Our guests could not speak more highly of the food - it was delicious and the chefs team were really accommodating with special requests and dietary needs and allergies etc! My husband and I had the most special wedding day and I highly recommend The Old Kent Barn, you will not regret choosing this as your wedding venue!

    Really just perfect!

    We got married at the Old Kent Barn this week. From the minute we first enquired, to the tour, booking, planning, and wedding day were all perfect and so well organized. The staff all go above and beyond and we could not have been any happier. They make the planning process so easy, and we're always there is we needed assistance. The venue is gorgeous, so well maintained, the gardens especially are always being worked on and are gorgeous, we especially loved the pond and ducks!! I would not have changed a thing. The food was brilliant we went for a BBQ and had SO many compliments from our guests, the canapes, deserts and evening food were all amazing as well. Thank you so much for making our day perfect.

    BOOK THEM! Don’t think twice about it.

    A week on from our wedding and I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no sufficient words to describe our experience at the barn.
    From the minute we booked, the team have been brilliant. They are so responsive, they never leave you waiting for an answer when you email. They are positive, supportive and, most importantly, kind!

    I have listened to the podcast ‘The Unfiltered Bride’ for most of the wedding planning and they encourage booking a ‘day of’ coordinator as wedding venues don’t provide the support you need. I can promise, with all my heart, you do not need one at TOKB. I had worried that we’d made a mistake not booking one, but boy did they prove me wrong.
    They had at least two people checking on us throughout the morning as well as someone else for my husband, who helped with ties and getting them ready. Yes they were there to coordinate everything from the venue POV, but I did not feel ignored or that I was missing an extra person to help. They were on hand to help get me into my dress, to make sure my bridesmaids were ready. If you listen specifically to episode 74 of ‘The Unfiltered Bride’, everything listed during that episode as something a ‘day of’ coordinator does, is everything the team at TOKB did.

    The food at TOKB is sublime. We had the hog roast for wedding breakfast and pizza for the evening. Our guests loved everything about it all, including the canapés. They took all dietary requirements we had in their stride and no-one went hungry.

    I could gush about them for hours, they really are excellent.

    Perfect wedding venue

    The quality of what the team delivers at the Old Kent Barn is superb. The level of planning and detail, coupled together with the quality of execution, is as good as it gets in the wedding industry.
    The food, the service, the people... everything we could have asked for was perfect.
    We totally enjoyed our wedding day at The Old Kent Barn as everything went exactly as we would have wanted. Every guest we spoke to after said the same: "an amazing venue and the best wedding they had been to".

    Mr and Mrs Clucas 27.6.24

    The most perfect venue for our most magical day. The team could not have done any more for us, big shoutout to Ashleigh our co-ordinator who is a DIAMOND. I could go on and on about this place but truly has stolen mine and my husbands heart as our forever happy place. You can see why they are an award winning venue. We will be back as promised and bring our fur baby this time.

    Best wishes, Mr and Mrs Clucas xo

    TOKB It The Only Venue To Get Married In

    What can we say these guys were the glue on our day, any fiasco was dealt with and no request too much. They are not the cheapest given but let me tell you into each wedding day a little rain may fall…. This place is your umbrella! They really have you covered and they know what they are doing! We had a ruined wedding cake and a swollen wedding finger…. From finger lube before walking down the aisle to cake rescue they did it all ! The venue is pure magic , the food, the service and the feeling that they are family makes them worth every penny!
