Where to start, and what to say?! Quite frankly, nothing would be adequate but suffice to say, Thank you so much. From start to finish, everything has been brilliant. Every member of the team has been superb and on point, we have never felt any contact was disjointed. Whomever we dealt with knew exactly what was planned and happening. The lead up, and the day itself, was effortless. Although millions of couples have married before, we honestly felt like we were the only ones who had ever done it, we felt that special and exclusive by yourselves. Thanks not only to yourselves as a team, but to the chefs and staff at The Ferry House. Acknowledging those behind the scenes, housekeeping, reception, gardeners etc. For your recommendations; Scott, our excellent photographer, love him! Foremans Taxis, hassle free Karl the coolest D.J. who does what he does so well. Anyone involved with Mocketts farm
In case you are in any doubt, we had a brilliant time, as did our guests! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future Kindest regards Michelle and John - Mr and Mrs Mills!

We most liked EVERYTHING! We loved the day from start to finish. The whole planning process was made so helpful. Every single member of staff made us feel welcomed any time we've visited with a smile and that home feeling of the ferry house just couldn't be beaten. Visit the Ferry House first, you won't be disappointed! :)

We liked that everything in one place.Venue was outstanding. Warm cosy feeling. Effortlessly flowed. Food amazing. Dj epic. Decorations very festive. Drinks amazing. Everyone complimented the venue throughout the entire day. We visited during a wedding show case, immediately we knew this was the venue for us. It was rustic, warm, welcoming and everything we were looking for.

We love the Ferry House, have had lots of lovely meals there. For our wedding it was the perfect setting with the fairy lights and hops which was totally the winter vibe we were going for. It's such a cozy venue. The staff were all lovely too, there was no pressure at any point. We took a while to decide and asked lots of questions which were always answered quickly, but again never any pressure to book. Maxine was fantastic, she was enthusiastic about our day and at the same time totally got our chilled out and minimal fuss vibes. She always had helpful suggestions for us and made us feel totally at ease. Her constant reassurance of what would happen on the day was great. We just want to say a HUGE thank you to the whole team. Not just for the day (which was perfect in every way) but for every element of the planning. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful and it made all the difference to us. Every single visit we came away feeling happy and excited. We have memories to last a life time and it's all thanks to the amazing team.

I couldn’t fault how well every body was with replying to questions via email, how well things were explained and planned out. The care for our belongings and the time spent to make sure our day was perfect and how we imagined it. The decor throughout gives a warm cozy feel. The package offered was of a good standard and we feel we got a lot for our money.

Our special day tailored to our exact requirements, staff professional from original viewing to the day, cannot thank them enough, what they always say about a good place is the staff make the venue, and they sure do at the ferry house. Beautiful venue in picturesque surroundings worth every penny.
25th October 2024 Nicola and Mitchell
The staff at this venue elevate it to another level. Nothing was too much to ask them, they bent over backwards and went above and beyond at every request and question. And they do everything with a smile on their face, nothing feels like an issue. I know that weddings are something they do every day, but I could have believed this was also the one and only most special day of the staff’s lives, not just ours, because of the genuine excitement, care and support they had for us the entire way. The people working at the Ferry House are very, very special.
10th October 2024 Robert and Sophie
Everything was absolutely superb - from the gorgeous venue itself, to the amazing staff, from Maxine and Ellie during the planning/co-ordinating stages, to Vicky and her team (I’m sorry I can’t remember all of their names but I’m sure there was a Jess and Chloe who were super helpful and friendly). Every single one of you really did contribute to the perfect day for us.
The twilight package itself was perfectly tailored to our needs and requirements, whereas other venues didn’t offer the same accommodation to our needs (I.e. on site rooms, complete control over how we wanted to plan our day etc). The venue itself as said was absolutely stunning, and we really love how FHI promotes its own sustainability with its own food products and sourcing local Kent drinks etc. The barn in particular was a huge factor for us as it is just perfect and where we wanted our dream wedding to be.

Sam our host was so helpful and reassuring on the day. Made sure everything was perfect for us and talked us through step by step what was happening. Sam was absolutely amazing! Not one fault for anything, and when she was about to leave she made sure someone else was there to help us if we needed anything and introduced us.
27th September 2024 Keeley and George
The wedding team at The Ferry House Inn are beyond incredible! The service, attention to detail, planning process, little extra touches, just everything makes the whole experience easy, relaxing and effortless. With you every single step of the way, they go above and beyond with any request you may have, and the gorgeous touch of a date night whilst planning to Copper Rivet Gin Distillery completely blew our minds. You guys are just amazing and we are so grateful to you all for making our day the best day ever. Thank you so much. Love Mr & Mrs Jones xx

We loved how remote and rustic it was. It felt so homely and super chilled and was exactly the right vibe we wanted. We liked how stress free everything was from start to finish, the venue and the people were so helpful and lovely. Huge thank you to team, every single one of you was amazing! We also wanted to shout out to Beth and Maxine on the day who were so friendly and attentive, honestly the day could not have been more perfect.

Everything ran so smoothly and was very well organised by the venue. Good communication in the whole build up, everyone was more than happy to answer questions and just made the whole process and day very relaxed. Plenty of parking and accommodation options. Lovely scenery and all of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Trust the wedding team with sorting the day out and enjoy just getting ready.

Ami and Kallan
We would like to thank every member of staff at the ferry house, our guests commented on how friendly and helpful they were throughout our three days and the time they took to ensure myself and my husband were ok was just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they had a solution for everything. One of my decorations would not go as planned so they pulled together and came up with an alternative for us which worked fantastically and we were so grateful. The person doing my cake didn’t show so they came up with an alternative again and no stress was brought to myself or my husband. We are so grateful and pleasure with our experience at the ferry house and we will never be able to express our gratitude. So many of our guests have said they cannot wait to return with their families because of the fantastic food and service. Thank you again, we will never forget our wedding day and we cannot wait to return. Warmest regards, Kallan and Ami Henry

We were well informed of what we needed to do, and the timeframes for certain milestones in our planning. Ellie and Maxine were very professional, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. The day itself was perfect and we cannot fault the venue and staff with their attention to detail. We heard many compliments from our guests about the setting, the food and overall service. Everyone is really friendly with every interaction. Regardless of which member of the team we were speaking with, they all knew what our wedding profile was. The website with all the planning resources such as recommended suppliers was also very organised and supported us. We’re so glad and happy to have picked FH as our venue and look forward to coming back and experiencing your lovely food and hospitality again!

The Ferry house is an absolutely amazing , our wedding day was magical. Our guests all said what a beautiful venue. The food is outstanding and all the staff are very helpful. From the first planning meeting up to the day of the wedding. Nothing was too much trouble if I had a query they was always at the end of email. Myself and the bridal party stayed at the cottages the night before, this really added to the excitement of our wedding day. The rooms at the Ferry house are decorated to a high standard and are very comfortable. The food is amazing. We would highly recommend this venue. Our wedding day was perfect.

Chelsea and Scott
From start to finish the team have been so incredible and helped us feel relaxed. No request was ever too big and we were so incredibly happy with our decision to marry at the ferry house. We met Georgina at the open day in Jan 23 who was so incredibly friendly, supportive and helpful. The venue was truly unique and we both immediately fell in love with the barn. The hops and fairy lights really made it stand out as well as the incredibly beautiful gardens.

I’m not sure I can just choose one thing I liked most, our day was perfect and don’t think there is a thing that I would have changed. The venue was stunning, the food was amazing all the staff were so helpful. I honestly can’t thank you all enough for making it the most perfect day. The open days were super easy to book and having a tour around with one person was lovely The venue was always decorated beautifully, clean and tid The food was amazing- I really wanted a nice meal at the wedding not the typical (not very good) wedding food. So it was lovely to try the canapés before hand as-well as the cake! Your website is lovely, easy to use and it’s nice to know how much roughly a wedding is going to cost before visiting the venue as being honest that is one of the biggest factors in deciding on a venue! Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to everyone at the ferry house. Our day was perfect and honestly better than I ever imagined it would be. I wish that we could do it all over again!

Communication with The Ferry House was fantastic throughout planning our wedding. The team were always quick to answer any questions and made sure that everything was organised. Every single member of the team we talked to was helpful and kind. We are absolutely certain picking The Ferry House was the right choice. I am genuinely so grateful to the FH team- they all made our day so wonderful. I always imagined that there would be some stress being a bride but the FH made sure that wasn’t the case A HUGE thank you to Maxine who was there on the day and was just wonderful.

Lisa and George
I don’t even know where to start - the Ferry House was the perfect venue for our big day. Nothing was too much trouble and they made the whole planning process so easy. I have worked at weddings myself and know how venues can sometimes be difficult and reluctant to help with certain things but not the Ferry House! They decorated the venue with my diy decorations without any issues, they answered my constant emails (crazy quickly!) and even put up with me doing everything last minute! The actual day itself, they were so helpful, excited for us and just made us feel amazing! The venue is just absolutely gorgeous - nearly every guest came up to us on the day to tell us how amazing it was and they honestly felt it was the best wedding they had been to! All thanks to the Ferry House. If we could do it all again we would both choose the ferry house again in an instant.

The venue is just beautiful, the additions of the improved outside furniture and glass fencing really are fab, giving brilliant views across the estuary. The new getting ready room was amazing, we felt lucky for it to be ready for our day! The staff really do go the extra mile, being so helpful and attentive without being over the top or false. We really felt that the venue was interested in our wedding and wanted to make sure it went exactly as we wanted. The area is just beautiful, right on the waters edge drew us to you as we love being by the sea. We have been visiting the Ferry House for the past 20+ years, but we were so pleasantly surprised when we came to look around the venue considering it for our wedding. You really have thought of practical and personalised things; our favourite drink at the end of the aisle, time away together in the wedding garden, slices of cake brought to our room. Many other venues didn't consider these things. Also being able to stay with out friends and families in such beautiful surroundings was another positive, so we didn't need to travel at the end of our day and it elongates the wedding being able to have breakfast together the next day.

Graham and Vicki
The Ferry House and our wedding coordinator Maxine were not only professional but friendly, approachable and always there to help. The venue was stunning and all staff were amazing. The food was outstanding with both the wedding breakfast and the hog roast in the evening and all our guests agreed. I had been to a wedding a few years ago and fell in love with your venue then, so when taking my now husband to show him, he also fell in love with this stunning place and we booked our wedding straight away. Maxine was amazing, she listened to what we wanted and organised everything with what we asked for, she was friendly, approachable and would always reply promptly to my emails. The Ferry House and all their staff are amazing and I would definitely recommend your venue to others.

We absolutely loved the venue, the staff there was friendly & helpful with our needs. The food & drinks were fantastic. The planning and wedding day went smoothly for us. We cannot fault The Ferry House as they made our day special for us. We fell in love with the rustic barn and the location was beautiful, unique & quiet. The powder room was beautiful to get ready in. The accommodation rooms were a high standard and guests have enjoyed staying there.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day so perfect. It was everything we imagined and more. It was decorated beautifully and the food was amazing. We had so many compliments about the venue and all staff being so friendly. I want to make a special thank you to the chefs who made my sisters meal, with all her allergies, I have never seen her eat so much while out. The care and attention to detail let her eat without fear. Your staff members worked incredibly hard to ensure no detail was spared and everything was just as we had asked for. The meticulous organisation from everyone at The Ferry House made our day perfect. To say your venue knocked our socks off is an understatement. We weren't the least bit disappointed by the experience and would recommend your amazing facility to anyone who asks. From the moment we arrived we had the time of our lives. We both want to extend our sincerest thanks, from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to coming back and dining with you for our Anniversary.

There was nothing the team weren't willing to do to help us make this our dream day for us and our guests. From start to finish, Sam & All of the team before and during the day were there for us, quick to respond to all queries and requests and just made the whole process a joy and stress free at every turn. Sam was our primary point of contact from our very first impromptu visit to the venue, right the way through the day itself. She was quick with responses, clear with timescales, gave a full professional handover and follow up whilst on leave to the team, and made sure to check in on her return and was already fully up to speed with all the changes. A star all the way through who made it so easy for us. Just a huge thank you to everyone at the Ferry house for making our day the best it could be and for being so accommodating with us and our suppliers!

Without the team, it would be just another barn wedding venue, minus the stunning views! The team really make this place so special, they are always so friendly, super helpful and welcoming! We can’t say enough good things about them! Maxine was amazing! She couldn’t do enough for us, always so lovely to deal with and made the lead up so stress free! She’s brilliant at what she does, kept us organised and on track and also gave us advise when we needed it! Thank you all, every single person who works at the ferryhouse! All of you are so amazing and clearly love what you do! There wasn’t a single person we met that wasn’t friendly or willing to help! You guys make this place great!

The 2 day wedding option. A fantastic opportunity to celebrate with our family and closest friends and spread our wedding over a few days. We had time to relax and settle into our stunning rooms (and be pampered with a massage from Katy) in the afternoon before spending the evening eating delicious food in the barn with our guests. The staff at The Ferry House took the stress out of our wedding day and everything ran smoothly. The personal touches and little gestures (postcards in the rooms and signage in the barn) from the team made us feel like we were special and they just couldn't do enough to make us feel comfortable. Our Ferry House DJ was awesome too, our Garage set was out of this world and the Take That medley at the end was fantastic, especially the sneaky last song that topped the evening off - thank you. Having two 'getting ready' rooms was such a treat. The Garden Lodge is stunning a wonderful new addition to the whole establishment. Maxine was fabulous! No questions were too silly or too much to answer. As our journey progressed and the wedding got closer Maxine was available for telephone calls and emails and really helped us feel as ease. On the day, nothing was too much trouble. Maxine and Beth made sure both Dave and I were ok and had everything we needed with regular check-ins.

Jade and Samuel
We were looking for a space that we could imagine ourselves getting married in, we didn't want a "wedding venue", or a space used for weddings, we wanted somewhere that blended well with the original purpose of the building but felt special, the Ferry House hits the nail on the head with that! All staff from gardeners to waiting staff to the events coordinators were friendly, professional and polite. It made us feel so comfortable throughout our whole wedding process from originally looking around to checking out the day after the wedding.

Just Thank you ... For someone who likes everything just so ... I cannot thank you enough for making my dream wedding come to life. Every detail you nailed. We cannot wait to visit for a night away!Maxine was incredible, she went above & beyond to make our day magical. Last minute changes no problem, what a credit to you she is. Also Ellie thank you so much for all your contributions.

We loved the weekend package and how remote and beautiful the area was, having the Friday evening and Sunday breakfast included made the weekend feel very relaxed and like we had all stepped away from normal life to pause for the weekend. Our guests all loved this as well and everyone kept commenting on how amazing the whole weekend was and thanking us for bringing them to such a beautiful area. Having the Friday night also meant we had more time to spend with our family who had travelled far to be there which meant we didn't feel as guilty staying on the dancefloor all night! We both work in sustainability focussed jobs and, I personally have a passion for sustainable food. There were very few venues which offered anything of that nature so when we saw the Ferry house we had to come visit! A massive thank you to Maxine, Sam and Beth and everyone else who made our weekend come together so perfectly. We couldn't have asked for more!

The dream venue - the team at the ferry house couldn’t have made our day more perfect. The service on the day, the help throughout the entire wedding process, the flexibility of the entire staff to accommodate my bridezilla requests - cannot fault them in any way. I want to do it all over again and would always choose the ferry house! The entire time I was planning my wedding, I felt confident knowing that if I had a question, The Ferry House would be prompt and helpful when dealing with my query and they made every meeting a pleasure to attend!

We decided we wanted a winter wedding, in Kent, and somewhere with accommodation and dog friendly. I’d never heard of the ferry house until we were looking for a wedding venue. But it was the first and only place we looked at. Once we’d seen it, we knew this is where we wanted to get married. Everything! From the moment we first saw the Ferry house to the moment our wedding day came to end. It has been perfect. The staff, the venue, the food, the atmosphere. Maxine was our coordinator on the day. She was amazing. I felt completely comfortable from the moment we met when I dropped off the decor a few days before. She was down to earth, yet professional. The wedding was amazing. She managed the day perfectly. Thank you Maxine.

Now that we're finally catching up on life, we just wanted to send the BIGGEST thank you to the whole team. Our day was perfect and that is thanks to all of you. There is nothing that we would change. From the team beforehand replying to my 1000's of emails, to the team on the day, who helped calm my nerves and then had to deal with all of the crazy, drunken guests (they had a great time!). You all deserve a medal. It's been the little touches throughout that made everything so amazing. We can't wait to go on our gin tour and return for our anniversary meal. Honestly, thank you so much again!! We are now looking forward to the official photos and video so we can relive the whole day again. Best wishes, Emma & James Mr and Mrs Coles (AHHHH!!)

This venue was honestly a picture postcard dream come true and the staff that work their absolutely match this with their level of service. From initial meetings through to our big day the event teams efficiency, attention to detail and just all round attentiveness to us was more than we could have hoped for. On the day everything was beyond smooth and the food was exceptional. I'm still now (nearly 3 months on) having people comment on the quality of their meals! If I could do it all over again I would still choose The Ferry House. Forever grateful!

The planning team are so helpful, never made you feel you was being a pain or to much. Our planner changed on the day, but we was kept informed and everything went as planned, not as planned but BETTER! We couldn't have asked for more. I was so nervous before walking down the aisle, about crying - Victoria said 'tongue on the roof of your mouth' it worked - things like this, advice and everything going to plan and being where it should - all just made the day amazing, we were able to relax and just enjoy every moment!

The views from the Gazebo made for a beautiful backdrop. A good sized dance floor allowed for a great party, and a special mention to the DJ Carl, the dancefloor was never empty! And the organisation (and friendliness) of the staff allowed for a smooth and very enjoyable day! Couldn't be happier with our choice have this as our wedding venue!

To the incredible staff of The Ferry House, Where do we even begin to express our heartfelt gratitude? From the very moment James and I set foot in The Ferry House, we were met with warm smiles and a sense of belonging that instantly captured our hearts. It was clear to us that this was the venue where our dreams would come to life. Throughout the entire planning process, your team made everything seamless. At every step of the journey, we had someone by our side to help, guide, and support us. Your kindness, care, and exceptional dedication were evident in every interaction we had. You all went above and beyond, ensuring that we felt supported and at ease on our big day. Words cannot adequately convey the depth of our gratitude for providing us with the most incredible wedding day. Our expectations were not only met but exceeded in every possible way. The flawless execution, the breathtaking grounds, and the exceptional food left us in awe. More than just a venue, The Ferry House became a warm and welcoming home for our families and friends. Your staff’s outstanding hospitality and the homely atmosphere captured the hearts of everyone present. The beauty of the grounds was matched only by the incredible dedication of your staff. Each and every one of them is outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. We truly couldn’t have asked for more. Choosing The Ferry House as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, you made us feel special, and that feeling continued every minute of our wedding day. We are simply blown away by everything you did for us, and our hearts are filled with love and appreciation. You made us the happiest couple in the world, and our wedding day was beyond special and unforgettable. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for hosting the wedding of the year and for creating memories that will last a lifetime. With all our love and gratitude, The Pantings

The staff were very knowledgeable and were able to advise us on how to make our day run smoothly. Everyone we dealt with was approachable, kind and helpful - Sam, Georgie, Ellie, Beth, Kim, Vicky - thank you all! We really enjoyed the tasting evening and it was great to be able to bring our parents to this. The staff did a fantastic job with putting up our decor and bringing it all to life. The wedding day itself was absolutely amazing - we have had many comments from guests about the fantastic food and beautiful venue!

Hayley and Jack
The whole experience from start-finish was faultless. The staff could not do more for us and every request was handled amazing which helped create our perfect wedding. The response times for emails was perfect and did not add on any unnecessary stress when planning the big day. The location of the venue right on the water is amazing with the most incredible views. The venue inside was very relaxed and we felt that because it was so naturally beautiful it did not need too much decoration which was a massive positive for us.

Lucy and Rachel
The venue looked perfect on our wedding day. The staff arranged everything exactly how we wanted it to be, it couldn’t have looked better even if we had decorated it ourselves! Every aspect of the day went flawlessly, staff were always available to help us and we felt really relaxed because everyone made us feel so at ease (in the lead up to the wedding day as well as on the day itself).

We loved lots of things. Firstly the professionalism of your team in checking and double checking the details for the event. Their support when we had any issues and nothing was not too much trouble. It felt intimate and the team were so discrete they were 100% part of our day though. I cannot thank them enough.

We just want to say thank you to everyone at the Ferry House, from the very first viewing to the showcases, round to breakfast the next day. Everyone was amazing and friendly, we had the homely magic the entire time which not only put us at ease, but made our guests more comfortable too. You all should feel so proud of yourselves for what you all achieve to every couple.

A fully guided experience making it as easy as possible for us along every step of the way Extremely helpful staff throughout the whole process and made us feel supported and calmed our nerves. The venue is visually amazing and all of the staff take it to another level! Another simple, but major thing was how well we were welcomed every time we visited. Every member of staff welcomed us in such a friendly manner and immediately offered us drinks whilst we waited. It made us know we’d made the right decision every time we came back. The biggest instant appeal was the gazebo with the surrounding scenery. The next big factor for us is that we wanted an outdoor wedding, however in the scenario of rain we could move into the barn which is also a beautiful setting. Most other venues either had a lovely outside or inside but The Ferry House is the only one we found where we loved both options. Couldn’t have asked for more. Tors kept us sane in the final few weeks where everything felt so overwhelming. She provided us with helpful lists of tasks that needed doing leading up to the day which meant we didn’t miss anything. On the day, Tors was fantastic, so supportive and calm and truly guided us through every step making us feel comfortable.

Firstly our wedding coordinator "Sam". She was amazing from start to then our special day. It was lovely meeting Sam in person for all our meetings and also getting back to us so quickly with any queries we had. The Ferry House team as a whole were all so lovely, such a lovely team and nothing was ever to much trouble. It was the little gestures that went a long way for us. Our wedding day went perfect and everything I could imagine and that was a massive thanks to the Ferry House Team. When choosing our wedding venue, we visited more than one but by far the Ferry House was our dream venue. I can not put into words how lovely all the staff are and so accommodating. The location was a big winner, its a hidden gem.
