The Best Wedding And Event Planners in Dover, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Laura is lovely and so accommodating. Hired a memory ladder, postbox and sweet cart for our wedding and they were all so beautiful and perfect for our day. Thank you for sharing these with us. Love Sarah and Paul xx

My husband and I got married here last month and it was just perfect. Charlotte made the whole process easy, from first viewing the barn, to booking our date, to advising us on suppliers, ensuring we had all the right cutlery and tableware and making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Charlotte thinks of everything, and was everywhere at once ensuring all our guests had a wonderful time. We got married in the church next door and ambled across the meadow to Odo’s. The barn made a beautiful reception venue and our guests enjoyed playing croquet on the lawn and toasting marshmallows by the fire in the evening. The meadow with its expansive views across the Romney marsh made a magical setting for our barn dance and we finished off the evening with a disco in the barn. Overall Odo’s barn is a versatile, stunning and extremely well-run wedding venue. Thank you so much Charlotte for giving us the most perfect wedding day. A 5 star review doesn’t really do you justice!

Odo’s Barn is a stunning age-old barn set in the heart of a sleepy village in Ashford. The Venue and Team were faultless. Odo’s Barn (a family owned Venue) managed by Charlotte meant that we received the very attention to detail you need when planning and organising a wedding. Being our ‘first time’ Charlotte was warm, welcoming and ever so accommodating. From visiting in 2023 to booking our wedding for September 2024 she and her team was simply ‘Perfect’. Odo’s Barn has a fantastic website (for vendor ideas / suggestions) through to a great point of reference for guests to use when planning on accommodation/cabs nearby. The venue is unashamedly original and under-stated with incredible pieces of furniture, lighting against a backdrop of wine bottles giving it an incredibly cosy feel. The outside area / terrace along with the meadow allowed our 150 guests to mingle without feeling packed into one space. Her team were professional and attentive whilst still giving an informal feel plus their wine and drinks selection were impeccable and they were also able to source some specific English Sparkling Wines and Beer. I’d happily carry on talking about how amazing a venue Odo’s Barn is however a huge factor to the success of our wedding was in-fact Charlotte who we considered an integral part of our ‘special day’. So thank-YOU Charlotte in creating what was the best day of our lives so far. Charlie and Phoebe

Where to start with this amazing venue? From the moment we walked into Odo's Barn we knew this was where we were going to get married. The barn itself is strikingly beautiful, its rustic look flooded with natural light and lit up with beautiful twinkling fairy lights – we fell in love. Odo's is surrounded by a large amount of outdoor space with plenty of places for guests to sit and chill and mingle with one another and for suppliers to set up - a large patio with quirky sofas and chairs, a huge courtyard with wooden tables and a giant swing and the long meadow overlooking the surrounding countryside. With two options of locations to get married inside and out – we opted to get married in the meadow which was simply stunning with plenty of picturesque places for photos opportunities. Access to the barn the day before and after was also a real benefit. Having piece of mind setting up everything up the way we wanted, whilst also being able to enjoy a picnic with nearest and dearest in the meadow building up the excitement of the next day. Charlotte, your passion for your business and love for weddings shines throughout all your guidance in the planning process but also your support on the day. You took away all the stress of wedding planning helping us with each step; recommending suppliers, supporting with decorations, regular catch ups allowing us to visit whenever we wanted to, organising the wedding party and generally being there for us with anything we needed. My words cannot recommend and thank Charlotte, the team and the barn enough - so make sure you view and consider the barn as your future wedding location! Our day was everything we envisioned and more – I will always hold the memories made at Odo's close to my heart! Love Mr & Mrs Calvert xx

Odo's Barn was the first and only venue we viewed - we decided there and then that this was where we wanted to marry. The Barn, the gardens, the moat and the views are all just so beautiful! Charlotte was a joy to deal with right from the start, from her amazing list of preferred suppliers to being full of great advice and knowledge during the wedding planning stage, and was always available to answer any questions we had. The big day itself was absolutely perfect. The Barn looked incredible, and Charlotte and her team all worked their socks off to make sure ourselves and our guests were looked after and that the day ran smoothly. We will treasure the memories of our amazing day at Odo's Barn forever, and it was worth every single penny. We're already wishing we could do it all over again!

We had the pleasure of getting married here mid May and we had the most perfect day! We cannot recommend Winters Barns enough. From the first time we viewed the venue we fell in love with it, all members of staff are so friendly and every little detail has been thought about. The layout of the venue is brilliant, giving everyone with different wants a space, plenty of seating outside, tables for dinner in their own room, sofas by the bar which is right next to the evening reception room meaning everything flowed brilliantly without people getting lost in the space. Through the whole process we were kept up to date and had regular communication. The team answers all my emails and questions promptly and a massive thank you goes to Sophie our wedding coordinator who was absolutely fantastic and faultless! Everything was so organised ahead of the day which was brilliant peace of mind for us. On the day everything ran so smoothly with nothing being too much for the team to do. We had several comments from guests about how brilliant the venue and staff were. They helped set up the space and ensured everything was packed away at the end of the night ready for us to take away from the store room the next day. The accommodation is lovely, as was breakfast the next day (to make perfect it would be nice if a fried breakfast could be served but this may be a caters decision). We honestly cannot recommend Winters Barns enough!

It was great for my team and I to visit Winters Barns recently for a fun filled wedding day. The barn is decorated in a great rustic style meaning additional decor isn't needed and really sits well for sustainability and simplicity. We loved exploring the outside spaces and enjoying the pockets of space around the venue. Look forward to heading back soon

Went to my nieces wedding. The setting was beautiful. Everything in one place the ceremony, which, luckily, the weather was kind to us, and they could exchange their vows outside. The 3 couse wedding breakfast was tasty, the evening fish and chips or burger and chips was a welcomed alternative to a buffet. The service and attention to detail spot on. Would recommend 👌

Where do I start with Winters Barns?! I absolutely love everything about this place! The barns themselves are rustic and perfect for any couple looking for a countryside wedding. The gardens and fields surrounding the venue make the perfect setting for couple time. Not forgetting all the lovely staff! They make the day run so smoothly and they are just the kindest people. I really can't wait to return back to this stunning venue. Cheers, Tom

On Saturday I had the pleasure of working as the celebrant for Amy and Alex’s wedding, with Sian from Busy Brides Wedding Planners, and I must say what a joy it was. Prior to Amy and Alex’s wedding, Sian contacted me and other vendors, introducing herself and setting out detailed but easy to follow information about the day. She provided maps as to where to park, passes for the vendors for easy parking, and a schedule for the days event. Upon my arrival she took time away from her busy schedule to show me around and to introduce me to the venue staff who would coordinate the music. We had an informal briefing to ensure everyone was singing from the same hymn sheet with regards to entrance music, certificate signing and the bride and groom exiting the room. It was seamless!! Sian took the time to assist me with the positioning of the ceremony area for the best pictures and even took some pictures for me in preparation. The day ran so smoothly. I must say it was a delight to work with her and I hope there will be future events that we can collaborate with. Thank you very much

Sian is an incredibly warm-hearted, open-minded, and professional wedding planner who goes above and beyond. We found Sian via Hitched. After having a few virtual calls with various wedding planners, we immediately knew Sian was the right fit for us. Her can-do attitude and openness are fantastic, and she provided us with a wealth of great recommendations and excellent options for a variety of suppliers. She truly considers every detail. We highly recommend Sian, particularly for couples planning a wedding from abroad, as we did.

We found Sian through Hitched and she has been amazing throughout the planning process. We could not have done it without her. Our guests are still raving about how well the wedding was planned and how much they enjoyed themselves. She guided us through what was a difficult and emotional time, through all the ups and downs she gave us amazing advice and was incredibly empathetic, always with a dose of humour! She saw our vision, kept us on track and in budget! Sian did not let the rain dampen our day and the night time confetti shot was genius! She is worth her weight in gold.

My partner and I choose Sian for “on-the-day” co-ordination for our Civil Partnership Reception. I had the time to do a lot of the party planning myself but very soon realised that I would need help in the run up to the reception and on the day. I am so glad I found Sian to do this for me. She is super organised, a great communicator, has loads of energy and lots of experience and ideas. She had worked with our venue before which was a bonus. Sian also found a great DJ for us who was exactly right for the age group of our guests. It was great to know there was someone in the background if I needed any advice in the lead up to the party. Sian also managed all the supplier co-ordination during the week before our big day which gave me much needed down time. I hadn’t realised how important this would be. On the day she made sure everything ran smoothly and was always on hand if we needed anything. If you are looking for a top-notch wedding co-ordinator – look no further.

What a blast we had at Marleybrook House on our wedding day! Not only it's a lovely venue but it is fun as well ! The team is amazing, they've been so helpful from the very start, listening and replying to all of our queries. The guest loved the venue and were so surprised and thrilled discovering the funfair! And loved that there's a studio to get ready there in the morning.

Wow! The most extraordinary yet GORGEOUS venue in Kent! From the three beautiful ceremony areas they offer to the magical fun fair in the evening! It truly was the best day of our lives and it is all down to Marleybrook. Our planning experience and wedding day at Marleybrook house was perfect from start to finish. We cant thank Kris, Janie and the rest of the team enough for making our day pure bliss. We wouldn’t change a thing and anyone getting married at this wonderful venue are extremely lucky. Mr & Mrs Epps Xxx

We had the best day ever at Marleybrook House! The venue is beautiful, so many spots for photos. The staff were amazing, so relaxing and kept everything running smoothy despite the change in ceremony area due to the bad weather! The funfair is amazing and our guests all said it was the best wedding they had been to. They guided us every step of the way and it couldn't have been any easier, we couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you so much Janie and Kris for our beautiful day from the new Mr & Mrs Gilleece ❤️

Me and my new husband got married here 26/07/2024 😍 and what a dream come true it was! The venue itself us absolutely beautiful 😍 we cannot thank you and your staff enough for helping is have a perfect start to our happily ever after. The staff are always there to answer any questions we may have had and helped us make sure our day run smoothly throughout ❤️ This unique venue was absolutely perfect for our disney themed wedding we cannot recommend marleybrook house enough to anyone that are looking for that special touch you any of your events ❤️ we have had so many of our guest tell how much they enjoyed our day and how much fun they had thank you again it was pure magic 💕😍❤️

Kiera and Callum’s wedding was my first visit to Westenhanger Castle and it felt like being in a fairytale. There is so much to like about this venue. The stunning manor house and surrounding grounds create the perfect environment for couple portraits. I really loved working at this venue and I can't wait to return and photograph another wedding here!

We couldn't be more happy that we chose Westenhanger castle as our venue. We had the most amazing time, the staff were so organised they thought of every little detail and were beyond accommodating along the way and on the day. They made us feel so special and were always friendly and made everything run like clockwork. The building, grounds and gazebo is just simply stunning and looked so beautiful in autumn. Thank you !

What can we say…this venue is nothing short of exceptional. With such beautiful grounds that are taken care of with such precision, you just couldn’t wish for a more beautiful setting for your special day. The food was also delicious and we had so many guests comment on how it was the quality of restaurant food vs typical wedding cuisine you might expect. Such a lovely touch to allow your guests a menu choice too. But actually above and beyond the venue itself is the people. Our interactions throughout with Jackie, Tania and Vicky were just phenomenal. We were treated like the only couple to ever get married there. Nothing was too difficult and every proposal we placed their way was accommodated as very best they could. On the day itself, Jackie could not have been more perfect. Her calmness and attention to detail of every aspect of our day was ticked off so perfectly. Westenhanger Castle will forever have a special place in our hearts and our only disappointment is given it’s an exclusive wedding venue, we can’t go back every year haha! If you’re looking for that place for your special day, quite simply…go here.

This venue is a truly remarkable backdrop for your special day. We didn’t view before our wedding day (crazy I know) and we were not disappointed. Beautiful maintained and eclectically styled. Perfection.

We got married in October 2024, we knew we wanted an Autumnal themed wedding and what better venue than Crown Lodge! It has such an intimate and cosy feel as soon as we viewed it, we just knew this was the one for us. Special mention to Kylie, she was incredible from start to finish, talked through everything with us, there was no pressure, and everything was very relaxed. Kylie was always there on the other end of an email with very quick responses to any questions. Kylie was there on the day coordinating and everything ran so perfectly! All our guests commented on how well the day flowed, saying they didn’t feel rushed, and everything was smooth. We were hoping for an outside wedding but the rain that morning meant we were inside, HOWEVER, they set everything up so beautifully I am so pleased it was inside, it was so cosy we couldn’t have wished for anything better. Plus, we were lucky enough to have the most amazing sunset in the evening! The views at the venue mean you can get beautiful wedding photos. If you’re looking for a venue who takes care of YOU and your wedding day, this is the venue to choose, I wish I could give 100 stars and do it all over again! Photos are by Olly Knight Photography.

Wow! What an amazing venue this is and we are both so sad that we don't have an excuse to see it again! My partner and I wanted a twilight wedding and as soon as we saw the venue, we knew it was the one for us! The rustic décor' and fairy lights made you feel like part of a fairy tale. Kylie was a dream and she made sure that we were 100% happy with all of our decisions! She also made sure that our day flowed nicely, so that we didn't have to worry about a thing! The original plan was to get married outside in the gazebo, however the english weather put a stop to that, but Kylie and team ensured the inside ceremony area was dressed beautifully and I was so delighted when I saw it, walking down the aisle. The venue was a fraction of the price compared to others that we viewed, and the flexibility allowed us to find the caterers that created the food we love. I couldn't recommend The Crown Lodge enough, and they have certainly made our dream wedding happen! Thank you so much, Nicky x

There's something quite special about the Crown Lodge. As a wedding photographer myself and a lover of the outdoors, you always crave a stunning setting to play around with. Well, views for miles from up on the Downs (with some of the best sunsets) and nestled under a woodland canopy giving lovely cabin vibes really does tick all the boxes. It's a great venue for weddings and one I can totally recommend as a photographer. Ps. Make sure you take advantage of golden/blue hour... it's a must!

We got married at the Crown Lodge in May this year and it was the most magical day! From the initial meeting to the day itself, the team were so helpful and accommodating. Any questions or queries we had were answered promptly and nothing was too much trouble. The venue is simply stunning and as soon as we arrived for our venue visit a year before, we knew it was the right place immediately (even on a cold and misty winters day, it was beautiful). Kylie was incredibly helpful and we couldn’t have wished for a better co-ordinator for our wedding day. From helping us to set up, to chatting with friends and family, she made the day run smoothly and without a hitch. We honestly cannot thank you enough. We had so many comments on the day from our guests of how perfect the venue was (the views over the downs in the sunshine are amazing) and we were so lucky to have a sunny day in order to be married outside. We keep reminiscing about our wedding day and wish we could do it all over again!

I can’t really find the words to describe how amazing our day was…but I’ll give it a good go! Pip and Kerry went above and beyond for us. It’s the most beautiful venue and all of our guests were stunned at how picturesque and perfect it all looked. It really is a hidden gem of a venue, made even better by the staff. Being able to use the beautiful, surrounding orchards for our couple shots has given us perfect photos that we will cherish forever. The range of caterers who we could choose from was amazing, and they did anything we wanted - we went for a Mexican themed meal! We made the day personal to us by decorating the tables ourselves and adding little touches throughout the day which made it even more special. We were able to bring in whichever suppliers we wanted, and we definitely made use of that! We also took advantage of The Night Yards prop hire which was so handy. If you’ve been lucky enough to find The Night Yard in your search for a wedding venue, don’t hesitate to book it - you really will have the most wonderful, surreal experience. Thank you so much to Pip, Kerry and all of The Night Yard staff - you make it so special, we love you!! Mr and Mrs Froggett-Newman x

We chose The Night Yard for our wedding reception on the 18th of August 2023, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The serene garden and captivating glasshouse provided a dreamy setting that had our guests in awe. A massive thank you to Pip, Verity, and Kerry. Your dedication and attentiveness did not go unnoticed. Pip’s creative touch, Verity’s organizational prowess, and Kerry's helpful presence were instrumental in making our day seamless and unforgettable. We highly recommend The Night Yard for its stunning backdrop and a team that goes above and beyond to ensure a successful event. Thank you for making our wedding reception not just a celebration, but a beautiful memory etched in our hearts.

We got married at the night yard earlier this month and had the most incredible day! Can’t thank Pip and Kerry enough for all their help. The venue has so much character and really is so beautiful

The Night Yard in Canterbury is a stunning venue that provides the perfect backdrop for a luxurious wedding. As a high-end wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of working at this venue and I must say, it never fails to impress. The venue's unique aesthetic provides an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness, with its amazing countryside location. This makes it an ideal location for capturing stunning photos of the bride and groom and their guests. Working as a wedding photographer at the Night Yard is a true joy. The venue staff are extremely professional and accommodating, and they go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day of the wedding. They understand the importance of the wedding day, and they are always there to help with any requests or questions that arise. The venue also offers ample space, with stunning grounds and a great courtyard that provides the perfect backdrop for stunning romantic portraits. The Night Yard's attention to detail is what sets it apart from other wedding venues, every aspect of the venue has been carefully considered to create a truly magical atmosphere. In conclusion, working at the Night Yard as a wedding photographer is an unforgettable experience. The venue’s aesthetic, combined with its attention to detail, provides an unparalleled opportunity to capture stunning images that the couple will treasure for a lifetime. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding location that truly sets the standard

A massive thank you Olly & James , what an incredible venue. We recently just had our wedding here and honestly it was perfect. From our initial viewing all the way up until the big day we can’t fault the communication, the organisation or the staff. You made our day so special. Everything was very relaxed, and upon setting up no question was too much. If you are looking for a chilled out, outdoor wedding 💒 with a stunning inside barn area this is the place for you.

Reach Court Farm is such a beautiful wedding venue nestled in the countryside near St Margaret's Bay. The venue has plenty of photo opportunties through the surrounding grounds and the venue staff are very kind and accommodating. I hope to be returning back to Reach Court Farm again soon.

If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, and they’ve got your date available, go ahead and book it! My wife and I got married on 26/05/2024 and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day. James and Oliver made the process of organising everything so easy in the lead up, and the whole day ran so smoothly. The venue is a beautiful space come rain or shine and our guests loved every minute at Reach Court Farm. The venue offers a range of preferred suppliers and we found them all to be of an amazing standard and quality, especially the catering- providing options to suit all budgets. The venue staff were attentive, friendly and incredibly helpful. James and Oliver were always on hand to accommodate our own personal touches for the day, from decor and ceremony preferences to coordinating over a three piece band we hired to play outside. There are spectacular, scenic views nearby for photographs in both fields and the beach which is a 5 minute drive away- we took advantage of both of these on our big day!

10/10!! We had our wedding at RCF on 15/08/24 and it was more than we could have hoped for! James and Oliver were so helpful and accommodating with everything we wanted to do and went above and beyond to make it happen! Would highly recommend this venue all our guests were commenting on how beautiful the setting was and I want to do it all again!

A excellent local wedding service with a great range of cars, my son enjoyed he’s prom night in the mustang.

I used Quadriga Cars for a photoshoot recently where we were given a Mustang to work with, it was an incredibly impressive car and a brilliant part of the shoot. I can't recommend them enough for any special event or wedding especially if you're wanting something a little out of the ordinary. :-)

I had the Elenor mustang as my wedding car. A great adrenaline shot before you tie the knot! Very professional friendly service, would highly recommend especially if you’re a petrolhead!

I came across Shaun's Mustang in 2014 and immediately knew I had to have it as my wedding car. Whilst, at Indian weddings, you're more than likely going to see a supercar or a white limo; I wanted something different and iconic and the Mustang ticked both boxes. When I pulled up to the venue with Shaun and my best men, the reaction was priceless and, even today, my wedding photographers talk about the car. Shaun's a great guy and will always go that extra mile for you and his fleet of cars are a class above the rest.
