Wedding Brochure & Video TourWithin The Harty Estate sits The Ferry House – home to your exclusive wedding venue spaces. In perfect harmony with the wild beauty of the landscape, it’s expansive yet intimate. Each part of your day flows naturally into the next, so your wedding finds its own easy rhythm, from ceremony to celebration.
Seclusion, character and the feeling that you’re a world away, in a place that’s entirely yours.
Come and take a look around.
Rustic and refined, with exposed brick, oak beams strung with fairy lights and traditional Kentish hops draped overhead. Four sets of French doors open onto the terrace, the gardens and the estuary beyond, while a polished concrete floor adds a quietly modern touch. The Hop Barn welcomes between 10 and 130 guests, making it a beautiful setting for an intimate ceremony or a larger celebration.
Walking into Spring Barn will stop you in your tracks. A rare hammerbeam oak frame rises to a cathedral-like ceiling, while large windows face the estuary, flooding the barn with natural light and water views. Designed with no vertical columns, every guest has an uninterrupted view as you say 'I do'. Spring Barn accommodates 130 to 260 guests for ceremonies, and is available as a package extra for smaller celebrations.
Set upon a waterside terrace, the Oak Gazebo looks out over the Rose Garden, wild meadows and the Swale estuary - the water carving little channels through the wetlands. It's an open, natural setting that feels quietly spectacular, made all the more special with the people you love gathered around you to hear your vows. Available for wedding ceremonies from April to October, the Oak Gazebo can welcome between 15 and 260 guests.
A space as spectacular as your wedding deserves. Make a grand entrance to your wedding breakfast through a glass walkway into the soaring oak-framed room. In the warmer months, the large feature windows can be folded back completely, opening the barn up to the outside and the magnificent estuary views beyond.
The in-room bar and lounge keep all your guests together, while the dance floor does the rest. Outside, the festoon-lit courtyard with its fire feature is the perfect spot to spill out into as the evening gets going.
Spring Barn seats up to 260 for your wedding breakfast, with up to 350 for the evening party.
The Hop Barn is a beautiful, characterful room - relaxed and country-chic, with glimpses of the estuary peeking in. Step through the French doors onto the waterside terrace, where you'll find the Rose Garden and, if you fancy it, a firepit to gather around as the evening gets going.
The space also flows naturally into a welcoming lounge and the estate's 16th-century private pub, full of period character and glowing fires in the winter.
The Hop Barn welcomes 15 to 70 guests for your wedding breakfast, and up to 130 for the evening party.
Relaxed and intimate wedding celebrations can be held in the estate’s 16th-century private pub. It can host 20 guests for a seated wedding breakfast, or up to 50 for a relaxed, grazing-style meal.
Full of period character, with exposed beams, Kent hops and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's especially magical in winter with the fires blazing. It’s the perfect setting for couples who love a relaxed, quirky wedding vibe and the charm of a historic pub.
Make a Wedding EnquiryAt the heart of your drinks reception is the estate’s 16th-century private pub, full of heritage, character and a warm, sociable vibe. Drinks can be served indoors from a welcoming fireside table, or outdoors from a waterside vintage drinks cart, setting the tone for easy, relaxed mingling.
Imagine music drifting between inside and out – perhaps with live performers – while guests wander into the Rose Garden. Here, vintage lawn games add a playful touch to the afternoon, or if you’re leaning into a more rustic look, hay bale seating can be arranged to complete the scene.
With views stretching across the meadows and estuary, the atmosphere is warm and unhurried – a lovely bridge between ceremony and celebration.
The morning of your wedding should feel as special as the day itself. At The Harty Estate, each of you has your own beautiful space to get ready in, with your wedding party around you – add a brunch platter and bubbles and the celebrations have already begun.
The Garden Lodge sits in a relaxed corner of the estate, on the edge of the Kitchen Garden. It’s a peaceful, private space, tucked away from the rest of the venue so you won’t be seen until you’re ready to make your entrance.
The perfect place to settle the nerves and start the fun.
Inside, there’s a lounge area, three illuminated hair and makeup stations, a hair washing chair, a beautiful dressing area and a private terrace. Handcrafted and beautifully finished, it has a striking aesthetic that makes it a wonderful place to spend your wedding morning.
The Courtyard Lounge sits at the back of Spring Barn, opening onto its lovely courtyard. Warm and relaxed, beautifully finished in blush tones with its own intimate character – everything you need close at hand.
The room includes handcrafted hair and makeup stations, a VIP station, hair washing sink, dressing area and lounge, with a private wet room and accessible WC just next door. Indoor routes connect directly to the ceremony spaces, so when the moment comes, you’re ready.
A beautiful landscaped wedding garden overlooking the estuary. With a romantic rose arch tunnel, festoon lights and a planted stone bench curving around a fit pit, it's a tranquil spot to catch a moment as newlyweds, play vintage lawn games with your guests and capture beautiful wedding photographs.
Spring Barn's festoon-lit courtyard is the perfect spot for guests to mingle and soak up the evening atmosphere. With comfy seating and a striking feature fireplace, you can tuck in to a little extra fun with our optional s’mores toasting experience.
Take a romantic stroll down to the water's edge and press pause on what is a busy and exciting day. The estuary is a stunning backdrop for your photographs, especially at golden hour as the sun sets over the water and a vast skyscape opens up around you.
Waterside meadows, with their swaying grasses and estuary views, offer a naturally beautiful backdrop for your wedding photographs. From the soft greens and golden highlights of summer to the pale light and delicate textures of winter, every season brings its own beauty.
he rolling fields of our family farmland offer a rustic, open canvas for your photographs. Perfect for sweeping seasonal portraits - yellow rapeseed in spring, golden barley in summer - showing the charm and character of the Kent countryside throughout the year.
Just the place for wedding photographs that are a little different. Wander among the beds and poly tunnels of our Kitchen Garden for intimate, playful shots and a chance to see where your seasonal wedding ingredients are grown.
Set between the Rose Garden and the Kitchen Garden, the Orchard is a quiet spot to sneak away together and enjoy the occasion with your favourite drink. Vintage furniture, natural soft textures and earthy tones make for a beautiful photograph backdrop.
