Pearlescent Anthuriums and Blush Roses at Preston Court

Preston Court is one of Kent’s most coveted wedding venues, known for its quirky take on a traditional barn venue – complete with a vintage carousel, festoon lighting in the courtyard, a beautiful lakeside pergola for intimate outdoor ceremonies and a swanky rustic bar. 

Breathtaking yet welcoming and relaxing all at the same time. We wanted to bring something different to a barn venue in Kent, our job is to bring couples fresh inspiration again and again!

Catherine & Léonard’s 50th Birthday & 20th Wedding Anniversary

Catherine & Leo live in Paris and have been married for 20 years.  They wanted to find somewhere magical and fantastical where they could celebrate their 50th birthdays and their wedding anniversary.  Alice in Wonderland became the theme and they really went to town with Mad Hatters, white rabbits, a flamingo themed croquet lawn and giant surrealist flowers in the garden.

Speeches were made from Juliana’s Island, a live brass band roved the gardens and barnyard and a first dance took place outside under the twinkly lights maypole.

Catherine & Leo stayed in the Wool Shed with the guests sleeping in bell tents nearby.  The next day they had a relaxed champagne brunch in the glamping village with an extended check out time.

The Lodge Barn gets a sparkly Christmas makeover

I am a big fan of Christmas and the rustic feel of Preston Court means it’s a great canvas for natural looking festive decoration.

This year I foraged in the garden and picked up holly with red berries, fir tree branches, variegated ivy, twisted hazel, hydrangeas and pine cones. I found some Hazel poles also from the garden and used these to create the formwork from which everything else could hang. I used a small amount of gold spray to pick out a little bit of shimmer on some of the leaves and then added some warm white fairy lights.

Baxter The Camel

Baxter the two humped camel comes to Preston Court. We did a rare, out of wedding season event to host my aunty Theresa and her husband Stuart’s wedding reception. Boy was Baxter a beauty. https://jacamels.co.uk/. Please check out Joseph’s Amazing Camels and ask to speak to Daisy. Their camels are incredibly well looked after and very calm and friendly.

Joseph and his daughter Daisy also make delicious chocolates, made from camel milk. I have tried them and they are really delicious. A really good idea for a Christmas present. The milk is really good for you as it’s high in anti oxidants which help to prevent damage to your cells, which can lead to certain types of cancers and heart diseases. Chocolate which is healthy AND good for you, who would have thought?
