Answers to common questions about planning a small wedding in Kent
Which Kent venues specialise in intimate weddings?
Kent has a strong tradition of barn conversions and oast house venues that are naturally suited to small, intimate weddings. The county also has several licensed manor houses and coastal properties that offer exclusive use for groups of 10–60.
Can I have a small coastal wedding in Kent?
Yes — Kent's coastline, particularly around Whitstable, Folkestone, and the Isle of Thanet, has venues that can accommodate intimate coastal ceremonies. Check that your chosen venue holds a ceremony licence if you wish to marry on-site.
What do small wedding venues in Kent cost per head?
Per-head costs in Kent vary widely, but you can expect to pay £80–£180 per guest for an all-inclusive package covering venue hire, catering, and basic coordination. Barn venues outside the main towns tend to offer the best value.
