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

Jane and Keith provided considerable support at the wedding of our daughter on 16 July 2022. As it was a three-day event at our house with 210 guests, there was a great deal to do. We did not employ a wedding planner and so Jane and Keith had to co-ordinate the various providers over the three days. This involved the caterers, catering implement suppliers, the suppliers of the extensive lighting for the grounds, security, photographer, band, DJ, portaloos, pre-arranged transport at the end of the evening, event timings and so on. It was a big job and they worked tirelessly, understood what was involved and were calm and energetic. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and indeed would certainly look to employ their services again.

Ricky and Nic did a disco for my wife’s 50th Birthday party and worked alongside a live band that also played. The night went without a hitch and the guys kept the party going highly recommend these guys if you are planning a party.

An incredible experience! They were super helpful, tailored a package suited to our budget, kept us updated before the party, and then arrived and set up and it was pure perfection to top of my little girls 1st birthday party ! Everybody said how incredible the set up was! From the pastel ball pit, to the hoppers and ride on cars to the soft play all set up My little girl had the best day ! A wonderful way to celebrate turning the big 1!

We booked Kent Occasions for a 30th Birthday celebration and we’re extremely impressed by Sammy and her team. Very responsive, reasonably priced and the the set up was perfect! Exactly what we had pictured and the sequin wall was beautiful, so many compliments from the guests. 100% would recommend Kent Occasions and use them again, thank you so much!

Sammy was an absolute diamond from start to finish. She was very quick to respond, as well as got every spot on. Sammy went above and behind and really made the most best proposal decorations I could have asked for. Thank you Sammy

Sammy was great - I had a last minute request and she was fantastic. The balloons looked fab for my mums 80th and we got a lot more than what we were expecting so mum was over the moon. I would definitely recommend!

Amazing service from Kent Events…. We contacted Jay back in January to organise my birthday party in July..he arranged marquee, toilets, 360 photo, catering (bbq-the burgers were insane), music, sax and bongos which were brilliant. Everyone had an amazing night.. they really took the stress out of organising a party… highly recommend them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve worked with Kent Event Packages on a number of occasions and have always found them to be organised, friendly and professional, always putting on a fantastic show and meeting the client’s brief. The DJs have always been brilliant and have created a great atmosphere for each event. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic company. Creative, professional, top notch customer service.

Jay and the team took the brief and responded promptly. They delivered solutions when we were faced with the briefs changes and worked hard to deliver an outstanding event to budget and to the right timeframes we faced.

Me and some friends went to see the Micheal Jackson event back in April, and it was excellent! Great atmosphere, food was lovely and looking forward to booking again.

We had Steve do the video for our wedding at The Vines in Rochester and couldn’t be happier with the result. He worked tirelessly to catch all of the small details and any bits we missed to produce a 2 hour video that included all the best bits of the ceremony, speeches and evening. We’ve watched it back a few times with friends and family and each time notice something new, we are very grateful to you Steve. He also worked great alongside our photographer so they both got the shots they needed. Thank you very much!

Confetti Vieos were our Wedding Videographer for our son's wedding at Dover College, a beautiful day capture by Steve. It was amazing to see what he managed to film on the day. Very professional and friendly.

A great experience so far, from seeing the packages for videography to speaking to Stephen who answered all my questions and made it easy to sign up with Confetti Productions.

Charlotte was just incredible from start to finish helping us on our wedding day. In the build up to the ‘big day’ she provided us with so many helpful tips that we hadn’t yet thought of and dealt with all our suppliers so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On our actual day Charlotte was a superstar and ensured we could relax in full confidence not worrying about a thing. Any hiccups were sorted within moments and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to run our day. Charlotte is not only a professional, keeping everyone and everything running smoothly, but a lovely person who was a joy to have with us on the day. We could not have had our day without her support. Everyone needs a Charlotte for their wedding! Thank you again for helping to make it so special for us.

The hardest thing about this review will be keeping it short. We cannot say enough about Charlotte and Katie. Their enthusiasm was there right from the start, from the very first meeting. They finished our thoughts and sentences and we had an immediate reassurance that we were in capable hands. We are very detailed orientated, we had done most of the planning ourselves before we brought Charlotte and Katie on board and that’s probably our biggest regret, not finding them sooner and bringing them on board earlier. Their experience, attention to detail and organisational skills were self-evident and they asked about details that no one else had thought of except us. Other than us (the bide and groom) they were the only people to have EVERY single detail of the big day (and remember them). We knew we could completely trust them to manage the set up and running of our special day. They understood our whole vision and the part that every supplier played in our day. We can honestly say that we had brilliant suppliers, but there were so many jobs that fell outside of the venue/ florist/ stylist etc that without Black Sheep, those jobs wouldn’t have got done and our day wouldn’t have been as special as it was. The day before the wedding, we realised that there were DIY jobs that we weren’t going to get done, so we asked the girls if they could do them and they agreed without hesitation. We felt guilty at the amount we asked them to do, but they really took it all in their stride, they were completely unfazed. No idea how they did it all in the time. They did not stop working from the day before our wedding, all the way through our wedding, right through to every bag, crate, box and fairly light being packed up. They even kept the staff at the venue on their toes, prompting them to clear plates. No job was ever too big or too small for Charlotte and Katie. They were always there when they were needed and they made it look effortless, but we know it absolutely wasn’t. The wedding industry can be greedy and grasping, but Katie and Charlotte give everything they’ve got and then a bit more. They were determined to make our day as stress free and perfect as possible for us. They went above and beyond what we expected, even our guests have commented on how much they did throughout the day. Katie & Charlotte won’t let you down, the relationship between them is special and they are a formidable team. Nothing we can say in any review will express our gratitude for all they did for us, we are so sad that we don’t get to do the wedding planning over again, except this time with Black Sheep involved from the beginning.

Where do I begin?! Charlotte and Katie were amazing from the day we met them! Throughout the planning process they were on hand to answer any questions, gave advice on ideas and provided us with recommendations of suppliers (which we used and loved!). They shared our enthusiasm for the day, complimented each other with the knowledge, skills and expertise they both brought and were two amazing ladies who we felt we could completely trust with the planning and running of our special day. They were brilliant setting up our venue the day before and morning of the wedding (and packing up at the end of the night too!), were busy liaising with suppliers, setting up and dressing areas and were a genuine friend to the bride during stressful moments! During the day, Charlotte and Katie did not stop! They had planned the day perfectly and even with the unpredictable British weather (heavy rain in August!!) the changes they made to the running of the day seemed effortless and unfazed them. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, so much so that I wouldn’t even know where to begin to list everything! They both really understood the vision we had for the day, were honest with what would and wouldn’t work and gave us ideas we would have never thought of. Charlotte and Katie were both professional and a friend at the same time. We are so grateful and felt very lucky to have them be a part of our special day. There is not one thing we would change about our day and so much of that is down to these superhuman ladies!

I don’t even know where to start in saying thank you to Charlotte and her team for helping us on our wedding day. From start to finish, Charlotte made sure every single detail was checked and looked after. Throughout the whole build up, she was reassuring and positive - putting us totally at ease. On the day, she ensured everything was set up to the highest quality and that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. There is no way we could of had our day run without a glitch without Charlotte and her team! I cannot thank her or recommend highly enough!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. 5 stars doesn't feel enough. Our venue was absolutely transformed by Becky with beautiful flower displays. Becky listened to exactly what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. She even sent us flowers in the post ahead of our wedding so we could use them to decorate our wedding cake. All the flowers were arranged perfectly and we had so many compliments about the decor. Thank you so much!

We contacted Becky at Your Beautiful Day to dress the venue for our wedding at the Barnyard. We went to meet her and ran through some ideas. When we arrived at the venue and saw it for the first time after Beckys team had dressed the venue, it was absolutely beautiful. They did an exceptional job and we would both like to thank you for everything. We highly recommend them.

We originally met Becky at an open day at The Barnyard, she was super friendly and approachable and for us the added bonus was, she loved our dog! We booked an initial consultation with Becky to discuss potential ideas and options and we booked immediately. Becky was so patient and helpful, she took so much time to talk through all of different aspects and helped us come to a decision on all of the decor aspects we would have at our wedding. Becky had lots of photos and videos that she was able to show us examples of different decor aspects and set ups. Becky matched the colours of the faux flowers to my bridal bouquet which was so appreciated. Becky was wonderful with communication and was always on hand for any questions and had no problem changing a couple of things in the lead up to the wedding. Everything look absolutely stunning on the day and we are thrilled we had Your Beautiful day as our Venue Stylist. We highly recommend Becky, she's fabulous!!

We had Your Beautiful Day decorate our wedding venue for our big day in September and we are incredibly happy that we did! Becky and Hannah worked with us to create the perfect set up for it all. Our theme was not a typical one (oscars theme) at all and some suppliers we told about our theme turned their noses up at it but Becky certainly didn't, she did whatever she could to make it something big! Our end result was so worth the wait, we LOVED it! The centrepieces were so awesome and just what we wanted, gold table cloths made it amazingly glam and the balloon ceiling decorations just topped it all off! If you're looking for someone to decorate your event and capture the essence that you aren't even sure you want, then Your Beautiful Day are definitely the ones to go to!

A stunning wedding venue located just outside Ashford, just off the A28. The manor house is a great backdrop for a wedding, with the ceremony taking place outside and - weather permitting - the meal on the patio area. Makes a great relaxed feeling for a wedding. Evening party has a great space indoors. Plenty of parking available. The staff are super friendly and happy to help.

Me and my dad had a summer evening party here and the venue was perfect! Roby and colleagues are extremely welcoming and flexible to plans, allowing you to craft an event however you would like. Everybody kept complimenting on the venue and the grounds, it is stunning! would recommend to anyone :) x

I photographed a wedding at Kennington Hall in July 2022 and have been meaning to leave a review for quite a while. The whole day ran smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for any of the team at Kennington. The couple had a fantastic day, everything went really well. The grounds at Kennington are very large and open, this meant the couple could have lots of photographs taken in beautiful surroundings, you would never know that Kennington is less than 10 minutes off the M20.

There’s so much I could write about Kennington hall and Roby. Our whole experience from the initial email inquiring - to picking up our wedding things the day after was just impeccable service. We were originally meant to be getting married in Greece and it hurt that we couldn’t, but as soon as we saw Kennington hall I knew it was meant to be. Roby’s relatable personality also sold it for us. We booked practically straight away and the process was easy, efficient and well organised. Whatever we asked for Roby was able to help, advice and reccommend, she is really well linked into the wedding industry. She also is a fabulous make up artist and on the day of the wedding she had everything sorted organised and running smoothly as well as doing my make up and some of bridal party, if that isn’t organised and professional then I don’t know what is. The business it’s self is way more than a business, you can feel the family-run vibe and it just makes it so much more hospitable and you feel like your not under as much stress unlike chain-franchise venues. The work that went into the wedding itself was a lot, we had a marquee from an outside company but Kennington hall moved all of their furniture/bar/etc into that marquee with no fuss and everything was just done. Being a bride, your bound to feel stressed but I can honestly say I did not feel stressed with anything that Kennington hall were organising. I am so thankful to have chosen this venue, a lot of the guests have asked me if we would mind if they used it for their events aswell, and I think that says a lot about the venue. Of course I reccommended it one hundred times over, it’s perfect. The wedding day was as hot as Greece, and I know that Kennington hall can’t control the weather (if they could I’m sure they would lol) but it just made the venue look even more beautiful in all its glory and they made sure to have plenty of water and make shift things to keep wasps away. Bring on the anniversary parties at Kennington hall!
