Winter Wedding Venue

dreamy February weddings at The ferry house

A cosy barn venue with candlelit warmth, stunning frosty landscapes, and the magic of a winter sunset as your backdrop. A February wedding offers romance, intimacy, and seasonal charm—without the peak-season rush. Think rich winter florals, atmospheric lighting, and special details like whisky stations and early evening sparklers. Here are some of our favourite unique touches that make February weddings so magical.

romantic winter light

There’s something undeniably dreamy about winter light. In February, the sun sits lower in the sky, casting a soft, golden glow—the perfect backdrop for your day. Say ‘I do’ beneath twinkling fairy lights, then dine by candlelight as the evening settles in. A twilight ceremony is pure magic, with the sunset pouring through the French doors at just the right moment. And as you steal away to the estuary, the fading light creates the most breathtaking, intimate photos—a quiet moment just for you, before the celebrations continue.

cosy, intimate spaces

While the terrace may be quieter in winter, the private pub offers a cosy retreat for your guests to mingle before the ceremony. With roaring fires, low lighting, and hops hanging overhead, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed drinks reception. The warmth and character of our countryside pub creates a welcoming atmosphere that adds to the magic of your day. The Hop Barn also provides a stunning indoor backdrop for your couples’ shots—offering those dreamy, romantic photos you’ve been envisioning.

Seasonal Tipples

A February wedding is the perfect excuse to indulge in some seasonal drinks that will keep your guests warm and cosy. Imagine serving up a comforting glass of Winter Pimm’s—with a twist of winter fruits and spices—or even setting up a whisky station featuring local spirits, some distilled from grains from our own family farm, giving your guests a taste of the Kent’s finest.

winter wedding extras

A February wedding is the perfect time to add little touches that make lasting memories. With more time indoors, our vintage photo booth offers fun photos, boomerangs, and videos, plus all the images as keepsakes for you. For something unique, an audio guestbook lets guests leave messages, stories, and advice, creating a personal memento to treasure. These thoughtful details keep your guests entertained and make your winter wedding even more memorable.

picture perfect moments

With longer evenings, February is the perfect time to enjoy a sparkler moment before your first dance. The glow of sparklers lighting up the night creates a magical, intimate atmosphere that’s perfect for stunning photos. As your guests gather around, the winter light adds a soft, romantic glow, making these moments feel even more special. It’s the perfect way to celebrate before stepping into the next chapter of your day.

Winter Landscapes

In the colder months, The Ferry House grounds take on a quiet, untouched beauty, offering a truly enchanting setting for a winter wedding. The estuary is wrapped in soft morning mist, while meadows, dusted with frost, glisten under the low winter sun. Even in winter, nature plays its part in setting a romantic scene. Whether it’s the gentle movement of the water, the crisp air across the open fields, or the golden glow of sunset across the Secret Orchard, every element comes together to create a breathtaking seasonal backdrop – one that’s just as magical as the warmer months.
