Kent Brides

MrsW2b2016, 7 May, 2014 at 15:19 Posted on Planning 0 26

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if there are any other Kent brides out there?

I'm in Ashford and just starting on my wedding planning journey so would be good to share knowledge/suppliers etc.

Hope to hear from some lovely people soon

    I am a Kent bride, although I live near the border and am getting married in East Sussex.

    I haven't booked any local suppliers yet though, my TOG is coming from East Midlands!

    I live in Essex, but am getting married in Ashford Smiley smile

    At the House Meadow in Biddenden to be precise.

    Our TOG is also based up in the midlands though, but aside from that everyone else is fairly local so if you need any supplier recommendations just ask ?

    The secret garden in Mersham is beautiful we looked here but struggled with numbers for what we wanted at the time, we have now chosen Hayne Barn House near Hythe

    Yea I love it there, we only have 50 in the day and another 30 at night so it's the perfect size for us, wanted a country garden relaxed wedding and it fit that perfectly, oh haven't looked at Haynes Barn, happy wedding planning :-)

    Hello! I'm a Kent bride too. Getting married in Nettlestead Place and the reception is at The Plough in Leigh, near Tonbridge. I haven't booked much yet but am meeting with the chair cover lady next week and we're going to scope out florists then too. Really need to find a good hair and make up lady as the one I wanted to use is going travelling in January so won't be around for the wedding. Our friend is a photographer and he's offered to take photos for us so that's one main thing sorted!

    We visited Plugh at Leigh as a potential venue and I absolutely loved it (probably more than H2B)! However, we were swayed by Salomons where for the same price for the venue we would also get our wedding night accomodation free and heavily discounted for close family. Everyone talks about how fabulous the food at Plough at Leigh is. I'm envious.

    Hello Miss B 2 be Mrs H! I'm so glad I've found someone else having a reception at the Plough! It's gorgeous isn't it? I'm really hoping the weather is good so we can make use of the garden. Really looking forward to hearing all about your wedding - less than 2 months you must be so excited! Are you having a sit down meal? We've decided to go for a hog roast. Thanks for flower and make up recommendations - I'm going to look them up ASAP! x

    Hi all...

    We are not having a sit down meal at The Plough, we are having an informal dinner buffet instead. Have heard great things about the food there too....yum!

    As for glitterballdisco - no we didn't book and extras. I really wanted confetti but not allowed it inside the barn at The Plough! Shame!

    Hello ladies ☺

    I've now booked our venue yay! We're getting nature at The Orangery in Maidstone (won venue of the year at the Kent Wedding awards ☺)

    We were going to get married in Jan 2016 but the gardens there are so stunning we decided to put it back by a couple of months to 3rd April so we can have a spring wedding....just hope the trees blossom in time!! Xxx
