The Ferry House Full Description
We offer bespoke and package weddings, tailored to each couple, so you can have your perfect day, exactly the way you want it. Our dedicated Events Team will take a personal approach to your day and will be on hand to ensure the big day runs smoothly.
Our barn wedding venue is licensed to hold civil ceremonies in both the Oak Barn, or for outdoor ceremonies, in the Oak Gazebo for 180 guests . To follow the ceremony, you have the choice of hosting your wedding breakfast in either the Oak Barn, seating up to 70, or our Event Suite seating up to 180.
For the main event (or as we see it, the food!) we offer varied menus to suit all. As members of Produced in Kent, we are proud of the quality of our ingredients; the beef is from our own family farm, the game is from our family shoot and we grow all our own fresh produce onsite in our kitchen garden. The Ferry House restaurant was awarded Kent Dining Pub of the Year in 2014 and in 2018 and has recently been awarded it's second AA Rosette.
Our Evening Reception options include barn only receptions for up to 100 guests, barn and dance floor options which include an additional private wedding bar for up to 180 guests or our entire Event Suite is available to use all day to host the wedding breakfast with a dancing area screened off during your meal which is then revealed in the evening. This option also includes the private wedding bar from after the ceremony, and is suitable for up to 250 guests.
To end the day in style and comfort, we have 11 4* B&B rooms on site for you and your guests; including our Bridal Suite with a super king-size sleigh bed, spa bath, lounge area and views across the wedding patios, gardens and estuary. Wake up to an award winning local breakfast and reminisce on the day before. Just off-site, we also have Mocketts Farm Cottages, a complex of five 4* self-catered cottages available to book for 53+ guests. The perfect ‘next-stop’ for family and friends to stay or to make a weekend of things!

A dream wedding - relaxed vibe, great food and an intimate setting.
We found the Ferry house to be an amazing venue, which was enhanced by the friendliness of its staff and setting.
We found the food to be sublime, and the DJ Karl ensured the dancefloor was never empty.
There are a number of gorgeous rooms to stay in and is remote enough to be very peaceful afterwards!
We would definitely recommend the exclusive venue hire as allowed for a perfectly intimate celebration.

Everything and more
The Ferry House staff have been amazing. It was everything we hoped for and more.
Every single guest felt that they well looked after, they felt welcome from the moment they arrived.
The pamper room is an absolute charm to get ready in.
We were an intimate wedding, we didn’t want evening food or a big dance party after (we evening full of laughter and drinks), they worked with us to make it as special as it was. I was called a relaxed bride, that was only possible because I knew the staff had everything in hand.
Would definitely recommend the venue.

To the incredible staff of The Ferry House,
Where do we even begin to express our heartfelt gratitude? From the very moment James and I set foot in The Ferry House, we were met with warm smiles and a sense of belonging that instantly captured our hearts. It was clear to us that this was the venue where our dreams would come to life.
Throughout the entire planning process, your team made everything seamless. At every step of the journey, we had someone by our side to help, guide, and support us. Your kindness, care, and exceptional dedication were evident in every interaction we had. You all went above and beyond, ensuring that we felt supported and at ease on our big day.
Words cannot adequately convey the depth of our gratitude for providing us with the most incredible wedding day. Our expectations were not only met but exceeded in every possible way. The flawless execution, the breathtaking grounds, and the exceptional food left us in awe.
More than just a venue, The Ferry House became a warm and welcoming home for our families and friends. Your staff’s outstanding hospitality and the homely atmosphere captured the hearts of everyone present.
The beauty of the grounds was matched only by the incredible dedication of your staff. Each and every one of them is outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. We truly couldn’t have asked for more.
Choosing The Ferry House as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, you made us feel special, and that feeling continued every minute of our wedding day. We are simply blown away by everything you did for us, and our hearts are filled with love and appreciation.
You made us the happiest couple in the world, and our wedding day was beyond special and unforgettable. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for hosting the wedding of the year and for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
With all our love and gratitude,
The Pantings

The venue made it possible to dream!
We had the most amazing time at our June wedding. It was bespoke, quirky and unique although we had all of the formalities we wanted. We had a 3 day event and hosted a Western themed Sten Do the night before in the beautiful oak barn featuring a bucking bronco and a line dancing session complemented with our Harty Hog Roast. Of course we all dressed for the occasion and I wore my white veiled cowboy hat and white boots! We hosted a full 70 guests at the Mocketts Cottages across the two nights and they took full advantage of full party mode making this so much fun, (even if a little stressful for me!). The staff at the Ferry House made me feel so at ease over the whole time and the complimentary wedding coordinator was brilliant! (Cowboy) hats off to the team! Despite the rain and wind in the morning of our wedding day, we decided to still do our vowels outside in the Gazebo. Just on queue of saying our vowels, the most amazing sunshine broke through the cloud! It was blissful. Our live music provided by the Redfords duo for the ceremony was so emotional for us and reflected our personalities- forever memorable. Later the full Redfords Band helped us to dance the night away. With such professional renditions of such a mix of music from motown to R and B and dance, many guests commented to us they had to keep reminding themselves this was live music and not a dj they we hearing. Our venue was dressed by Chic events and the beautiful trees used in the Marquee filled the space and gave a magical fairytail effect featuring hanging tealights really complimenting the rustic, kentish theme of the Ferry House. Since the wedding numerous friends have said this was the best wedding they have ever been to. I feel so blessed that we had a wedding that was beyond what we could ever imagine. All thanks to us finding the Ferry House which then made it possible to dream of what our perfect Wedding could be.

So many beautiful weddings, I am not sure I could pick just one!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Relax and try to enjoy the planning!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Every wedding has so many personal touches I'm not sure I could choose just one!
Describe The Ferry House in 5 adjectives
Relaxed, Beautiful, Homely, Unique, Romantic
Where’s the best photo spot at The Ferry House ?
Oooo this is a hard one! We have quite a few different areas for photos. Personally I have two favorite 'must-have' photo spots and that is by the water and in our secret orchard. Photos by the water are always beautiful and always different depending on weather, timing & tide. We had the most amazing shot of a couple by the estuary between the sunset and a rainbow. LOVE! The Secret Orchard is also a must! We leave the grass and flowers wild and there are always some amazing shots in there.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Ferry House ?
Did we ever say that Jude Law stayed here not long ago whilst filming?!
What’s your favourite canapé?
Oooo has to be the mini burgers with beef from our family farm.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
It has to be our Signature wedding cake! Chocolate brownie wrapped in malted white chocolate cheesecake...
What is The Ferry House most unique feature?
Has to be our food ethos. We have an extensive kitchen garden where we grow 60% of the fresh produce on our wedding menu. Our beef is all reared on the neighbouring nature reserve and game is all shot on the Harty Estate. We even serve gin that is made from the grain from our farm!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
The part of the business we are the proudest of has to be our team! We genuinely are a Ferry House family and without everyone in every department being passionate about the part they play, we would not be able to pull off the amazing weddings that we do. Plus we have a great sense of humour...
