We had our wedding in October 2024 at the Oak Barn Frame Farm and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue! From the moment we looked around the barn, we both knew it was the place for us. Having 3 barns meant we were able to keep our 50 guests entertained and still have beautiful spaces. We weren’t sure what to expect with dry-hire, but the barn is so beautiful it could be kept minimal if you’re on a budget, but being able to personalise it to how we wanted it made it extra special for us. The open fields, waterfall and sheep meant we got some amazing photos (from our photographer Matt Birchall) as well as the best memories. Chrystelle couldn’t have been more helpful, from her communication in planning, to the materials provided in the run up to the wedding, and her excellent organisation on the day meaning our wedding ran seamlessly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. The list of trusted suppliers was great too, and we used quite a few who were also great. The accommodation on site was an added bonus for us and family, and all of our friends and family commented on what a perfect venue we’d chosen. Being environmentally focused was also a huge bonus for us, as it really aligned with our values. Thank you to all at the Oak Barn for giving us the happiest day!

We recently had our wedding at The Oak Barn and it was the perfect place. The barn and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the fact you can spend the whole weekend there really makes the wedding feel special with plenty of time to set up and relax. The team are amazing, really supportive in the run up and during the weekend and ready to help with whatever might arise! Thank you for the best weekend ever.

We're so happy we chose The Oak Barn as our wedding venue! We got married here in August 2023. We fell in love with the venue from the first viewing. The setting is stunning, and the barn is modern but still has a rustic feel, which was perfect for us! The cottages on site are also beautiful. The team at The Oak Barn are a wonderful bunch - incredibly helpful and make you feel at ease throughout the whole process. I want to give a special thanks to Chrystelle, who was amazing in the run up to the wedding and on the day. She made sure everything was running smoothly and really kept us calm! It was one of the most magical days of our lives and we couldn't have wished for a more perfect venue.

It was a real pleasure to visit The Oak Barn again this time to perform for the newlyweds Abbie & Tom, the venue grounds are well kept and a beautiful setting for such a special occasion, the barn is a great space to host the evening party with a raised stage area for the bands to perform on, the staff are there to greet on arrival, friendly and helpful throughout and one of Kent’s finest wedding venues! We look forward to the next visit 🤘🙂 🥳

We can’t recommend Kayleigh highly enough, she’s absolutely fantastic. She listened (both to any thoughts and dilemmas!), provided excellent ideas and helped bring our vision to life. So personable and an absolute pro, thanks so much for bringing our big day to life, wouldn’t have been the same without you!!

I hired The Pretty Events Company to do the decor at my wedding. Kayleigh and the team did an incredible job, flawless communciation through out, Kayleigh was on hand throughout the entire planning process and the day turned out absolutely flawless. I am forever grateful

Words really can't explain how fantastic the service from Kayleigh was throughout the process in both the preparations for, and the day of, our wedding. Kayleigh has an amazing ability to make you feel like the only couple she is working for through the whole experience. She is fantastic at listening to the "vision", sharing ideas and advice, and executing to perfection. Her responsiveness, above all else, was so helpful and reassuring when handling lots of suppliers - it really does make the difference. My only regret is that I don't have another event to use her for! If i could give 6 stars I would.

Well what can we say? Kayleigh at Pretty Events was AMAZING! We can't thank her enough for the effort she put in to making the décor at our wedding at Hall Place just perfect. From the moment we met Kayleigh at her showroom we knew we had met someone who understood us and knew the look we were aiming for and she so delivered on everything. The chair coverings, lanterns and flowers in the room where we got married looked just as we imagined/hoped it would look and the main hall for our reception was just WOW, so much so that it actually left us speechless (which is a miracle in itself as Kayleigh will confirm as we do like to talk!). Nothing was ever too much trouble for Kayleigh and for that we will always be so grateful as our day was just perfect. If we ever need any décor for a party or future event then we will definitely be calling on Kayleigh as it will be like getting in touch with a friend. Thank you for everything Kayleigh as you are a star :-) Love Sam & Simon xxx

Professional service right from start to finish. The EMW team kept in constant communication with me in the lead up to my event and presented the various options in which I could personalise my event. They took care of everything from the catering, to dj hire to set-up and decorations. In the end, I was surprised at how well the event turned out and it exceeded my expectations. My guests were able to testify to this. For this I am most grateful to the EMV team for all they have done!

I ordered some food for my 30th birthday gathering, and was very pleased with the food. All our guests loved the fried rice and the puff puff was gone very quickly! We are looking to order regular meals as well in the near future, as we’re very happy with the service & food.

We just had our wedding here. Laura and Sarah, and their team were all incredibly lovely, the dogs were very gentle and came to say hello. But they made sure we were all OK and helped loads with setting up etc. I cannot recommend this stunning venue enough!

Absolutely stunning venue in such a perfect location which made the ceremony and reception of our dreams. Laura and co helped us out so much and helped to calm us amongst all the stress! If you're looking for a relaxed, flexible venue that you can really put your stamp on, this place is perfection.

Laura's support and assistance throughout the day and pre-wedding day communication was really great. She helped ensure that our suppliers were well-coordinated for setup and teardown. Despite the rain leading up to the big day, the sun came out and our wedding day was perfect. It was very special to be married in a venue that was beautiful as it is. Dinner in the forest was especially stunning. Our guests enjoyed the day. Thank you Laura!

Absolutely stunning venue! Tucked away in the countryside. Could not of asked for a better venue and host! Had our wedding here on the 25th June 2024. From initial booking to the day off Laura (host) was absolutely fantastic, great communication from day one, and the support on the day. Highly recommend!

The team at Chic Weddings & Events are experts in their craft. I love how they effortlessly style a space to make it both beautiful but also practical for how a wedding reception should function. Fantastic work here at Marleybrook House.

Chic arranged the flowers for my wedding at Hayne House and created the most beautiful bouquets and archway. They listened to my many and ever changing ideas, helping to make it a reality and put it all together. They even created mistmatched bouquets in colours that were sentimental to each bridesmaid, yet tied in with my bouquet and including all the colours and flowers that I liked. Thank you so much, everything was absolutely beautiful.

If you’re looking for someone to style your venue and take all the stress away. Hire these guys now. We found them through our venue and went to one of these procecco and browse days. Well these guys formed my wedding. I found them, my rings and my stationary through there show room! I wanted an Autumn wonderland and they delivered! They came in the morning and when I went to check on them they needed no direction they knew what they were doing I could go upstairs and enjoy my morning stress free. When I came down for my ceremony I couldn’t believe it was the same room it looked amazing. The colours, the attention to detail, the neatness!!! Everyone of my guests were in awe and took so many photos infront of our arch! These guys know weddings. Book them tell them your vision and they will make it come true.

Chic Weddings did the bouquets, buttonholes/lapels & venue styling for my daughter & new son-in-law's wedding on 20th July 2024. The top table flowers & hand tied bouquets on each table were gorgeous. Lots of comments about the bride & bridesmaids bouquets which were absolutely stunning. The tables had silver crackle vases & tea light holders on them, & we had a sheer curtain backdrop against the window behind the top table to frame it. I can highyly recommend Chic Weddings, the team are warm, friendly & very helpful; they reply quickly to calls & emails, the whole planning process was smooth & stress free. Wonderful, thank you!

I recently completed the 1:1 course in Wedding Planning & Business marketing. I was very impressed with how the course was structured. I was given 8 books which I read before the 1:1 session which I found to be incredibly detailed & informative. The 1:1 session was engaging and I really enjoyed Pippa's teaching style. I found Pippa to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent about the wedding industry and how I could work to develop my business and succeed. I really appreciated the time Pippa took to help me work on my branding and develop a realistic business plan. I would definitely recommend the WPS and I feel confident to begin my journey as a wedding planner.

They are amazing!! I want to say a huge thank you to Pippa and the entire wedding planning team!! Our wedding day would not have gone HALF as smooth as it did without the amazing team for organising everything and being so helpful the whole way through! We wouldn’t have had the incredible day we did have without their help, I can’t begin to describe how amazing you all were. Everyone was talking about how perfect the day was and how smooth it all went, the team really were the cogs that made the day go so well! I would 10/10 recommend!!! Pippa came in and saved the day so many times!! Everyone was there the day before and the day after they set the venue and church up and we’re absolutely amazing, I cannot sing their praises enough!!! From delivering our wedding flowers to us in the morning, to actually making the bridesmaids bouquets& groomsmen boutonnières (pics included)!!!! And setting up the barn, they are all so amazing! And will make your day so special! All our love, Tommy & Kez Mack :) Photographer- Peter Reynolds Photography

I attended the course in May 2023. It was fantastic! Pippa and her team are so knowledgeable and you learn so much. I can't recommend this course enough if you're serious about a career in weddings planning. I did so much research into courses and you won't find a more comprehensive, more enjoyable course.

What an incredible week spent on the Elite Course with the Wedding Planner School. As an aspiring wedding planner the course was just the thing I was looking for x1000. We were lucky enough to stay in the grounds of Leeds Castle for a week which was a magical experience whilst getting to know my course mates, who were all really supportive of one another. The daily classroom sessions (theory and practical) went into great detail and there was lots of opportunity for questions and discussion. In addition, the opportunity to work on a real wedding towards the end of the week was brilliant and gives you great insight as to what you can expect. All in all, the course was the perfect springboard for my next step towards becoming a wedding planner. Thanks to Pippa and Amber for everything you continue to put into it!

Emma helped us with hiring waiting staff for our DIY wedding and after patiently discussing our needs, she provided us with an amazing team of four. Arriving on site whilst we were in our ceremony, they worked unsupervised to provide an excellent service to our guests who were full of compliments for them. We had brought some flowers back with us from the church and they were incredibly helpful in artfully displaying them around the marquee. No job was ever too much and they worked with complete professionalism. Thank you Emma and team.

Emma was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Nothing was ever too much trouble, she was always at the end of the phone for advice, had amazing ideas and was so patient with the various Gov. restrictions and date changes for our wedding. She made sure it was the happiest day of our lives and was exceptional throughout. This is the third time we have used Evoke Events for parties at our home and I would never turn to anyone else! Thank you so much again Emma and team xx

Working with Emma Warburton, Founder and MD of Evoke Events, was a breath of fresh air and a real pleasure from beginning to end. Emma and her team provided an exceptional service for this high profile event discerning exactly the vision we had in mind with fresh ideas, being very pro-active, fast acting precise decisions when required and nothing was too much trouble. Needless to say our event rolled out seamlessly which we were so pleased with and very thankful for. We cannot thank Emma and her team enough and very much look forward to working with her again.

Evoke helped me organise the disco, photo booth some drapes and extra lights for the venue. Emma got everything perfectly timed so each part was installed at a set time on the day so it was minimally disruptive to the wedding party, the draps add that extra special touch to the room, the mirror photo booth was a major and DJ was spot on. All in all Evoke events added those finishing touches to what was a memorable special occasion. Highly recommended and when my other daughter gets married I will use Evoke events again. Thanks Emma💕

Mulberry events were a friend of the The Ravenswood wedding venue where we got married at the beginning of June and I am so glad that we opted to work with them! They took the stress out of decorating the venue, from the pre wedding meeting where we got to have a look at all the decorations they had to offer to setting them up on the day so it wasn't something we had to worry about. The staff are great, quick to respond and made it such a fun experience all round! Thank you to the whole team! Sophie & Chris x

My fiance and I had the most wonderful experience with Alice at the Mulberry showroom. We highly recommend going for the FREE(!) 2 hour session. During this we were guided through designing our table decor and viewing the huge variety of options for the rest of the wedding day. We are so pleased with our decisions and feel that we are in the safest hands with the Mulberry team!! The biggest thank you from Jody and Matt x

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for styling our wedding venue, it looked absolutely fantastic and made the already gorgeous venue look even better! You guys were a dream to work with and so helpful and kind throughout the whole wedding planning. Everything came together so well, it felt seamless! It was also so exciting turning up to the venue in the morning seeing it all ready, I felt like I had an exclusive sneak peek!! The showroom visits beforehand were also incredibly helpful to help us bring our vision to life and made picking and choosing everything a lot easier. It was also incredibly helpful having a sample of the napkins so we could take it to our other suppliers and match our colour scheme perfectly!

Mulberry provided the decor for our wedding in June this year at Highley Manor and we were absolutely blown away with how gorgeous the set up was and had multiple compliments from our guests saying how it looked like a fairytale. The team were amazing to work with throughout, so professional and responsive and full of amazing ideas. We really enjoyed our visits to the workshop, where they have so many items for inspiration it's like a cave of wonders! Thank you so much for all your help, would definitely recommend to anyone!
