Large weddings for 350 guests • Space to Celebrate, Together

Some moments are just too big to keep small.

When your wedding calls for a bigger guest list – to bring everyone together, honour your traditions, or simply celebrate on the scale it deserves – you need a wedding venue that can hold it all, beautifully.

Step in our idyllic waterside estate in Kent, just 60 minutes from London.

With two beautiful ceremony spaces for up to 260 and evening parties for up to 350, our stunning waterside barn wedding venue is designed for large weddings that still feel personal. With on-site stays for 75+ guests and meticulous planning from our expert team, The Ferry House brings big celebrations together beautifully.


 

Spring Barn Wedding Ceremonies & Receptions

New from April 2026, Spring Barn is meticulously designed with large weddings in mind, with ample room for up to 260 guests by day and 350 in the evening.

Its oak hammerbeam frame creates a stunning, open space with no vertical columns interrupting your guests' view, so everyone stays connected to the moment. Large bifold doors open to estuary views and fill the space with natural light, while the warm mix of wood, brick and polished concrete gives the barn a refined, rustic feel that works beautifully with any wedding decor style.

With everything in one place – your ceremony, dining, dancing and an in-room lounge and bar - your guests can move through the day without ever feeling removed from the atmosphere.

Oak Gazebo • Wedding Ceremonies For 260 Guests

If you’re imagining a large, outdoor wedding ceremony, our Oak Gazebo offers a truly memorable setting from April-October, overlooking the estuary, rose garden and surrounded by peaceful countryside.

Set beside Spring Barn and our waterside terraces, it creates an easy, natural flow from ceremony to celebration. With a laid-back, open-sky backdrop for your vows, the Oak Gazebo really brings a sense of calm, space and natural beauty to your day.

Large, Yet Intimate, Weddings

A big wedding guest list doesn’t mean losing that sense of intimacy, with time and space for both the joyful crowd and the quiet moments in between.

Our Secret Orchard and peaceful estuary shore are perfect for slipping away together to soak it all in – and our team will naturally build those pauses into your day.

You’ll also find plenty of spaces to celebrate with your guests in a more personal way, from waterside terraces and Spring Barn’s courtyard lounge, to your own 16th-century private pub. There’s room here for your wedding to feel big, but never impersonal.

Wedding Feasting

Great food and celebration go hand in hand – and with a big guest list, that lively, feasting atmosphere around the table becomes all the more special.

Our 2AA Rosette chefs have a wealth of homegrown, home-farmed dishes for you to choose from. Handpick your favourites at your Taster Evening, creating a quality three-course, three-choice wedding breakfast menu, complemented by canapés and carefully-selected wines.

You can also select from a range of exciting evening food options, late-night snacks and bespoke drink stations, each designed to impress, while keeping your guests well-fed, happy and the party going well into the night.
