Cooling castle barn brides? Advice wanted?

No CCB brides?

Im a CCB bride!!

getting married june 2013 so not sure if i can help but you never know!

what sort of things r you thinking of?

I think we're going to have a look there so will keep you posted.

Are you both marrying there, or in a church?

We are having both the ceremony and reception there.

Its a georgeous venue, although obviously I am a little biased ? Are you set on a date?

Its a good venue with a solid reputation.....worry not....

We are getting married 22nd May 2013. Were having both our ceremony and reception there. We did originally book Cliffe church but have now decided due to having alot of elderly and young guest that it will be a much more pleasent day if we have both at cooling. So excited, we love then venue. We visited there on the 22nd of may this year and it made us so excited, it was a beautiful day and the staff were just as lovely as when we first booked. Here's a few picture's I took whilst we were there.

Not really. We're a bit limited in terms of when as we have so many other weddings next year (where OH is in the bridal party).

We are hoping September but we shall see.

Do you know what accommodation is like in the area?

There are a few B&B's close by and a pub in the village with a few rooms. Or there are these hotels that CCB recommend

Bridgewood Manor Chatham (20 minutes Drive) Ramada Encore Chatham Historic Dockyard (15 minutes Drive) Holiday Inn Chatham (20 minutes Drive)

sorry for the wierd format I copied it from their list.

They also have the 15 rooms at the venue that are a combination of twin, doubles and family rooms, and the bridal suite.

Ahh, id have loved to get married here and did have it on my short list, my family lives in Kent but we are 3 hrs away now so decided against a wedding back 'home'

We looked at this venue and fell in love with it!! But they were fully booked untill 2014! (few week days remaining still)

Its a stunning venue xx

Oh dear, that won't work as we want to marry next year.

Ill cross that off my list then!

There are several weekday dates left in sept 2013 but no weekends. We booked our day August 8th 2011 and all the Saturday's for all of 2013 were gone and most of the sundays. Such a lovely venue xx

Not a bride- we're photographers and we shot a wedding back in december 2011- its a stunning venue and looks beautiful lit up - it's also a great venue for winter weddings- I don't think you'll regret booking there!
