Plenty of couples come to us looking for an evening wedding venue in Kent without knowing the name for what we do. Ours is called a Twilight wedding: a late afternoon ceremony, then a party under the fairy lights, with none of the daytime formalities.
Your ceremony is conducted by the Kent Registrars, and our team helps you arrange it. Their fee is paid to the registrars directly. One small thing worth knowing: the bar closes twenty minutes before the vows, a standard registrar requirement at licensed venues, and reopens the moment you're married.
Catering is added your way, priced per head, with a great range of buffets from 50 guests. And the hour-by-hour journey above is a reliable guide: your final running order is agreed with our team at your planning meeting.

Magic in the Apple Barn
With love and excitement, The BarnYard FamilyRated 4.4 from over 970 Google reviewsWe had a Twilight wedding at the Apple Barn in June. The barn itself is so beautiful with fairy lights throughout, and the courtyard is great for photos and for guests to mingle. Tscharna was our coordinator and could not have done more for us, calming any nerves and keeping everything running smoothly. We went for the evening BBQ and had lots of guests praising their meal. Would definitely recommend The BarnYard.
Simply WOW. Such a beautiful and incredible venue. We had the Apple Barn for our ceremony and the pavilion for the breakfast and reception, and both were just truly amazing. All the staff went above and beyond, never rushed anyone, always helped where needed. Worth every single penny.
Fell in love with The BarnYard on our first viewing and knew it was 'The One'. We were shown around by the lovely Kirsty and she remained with us every step of the way, a touch that was really very special. Our twilight wedding in the Apple Barn was honestly magical.
We had our twilight wedding at the BarnYard and we couldn't have asked for anymore. It was beyond perfect. The staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Even if we had a million pound to spend we would have still chosen the BarnYard.
