We have some truly exciting news to share…

The Ferry House at The Harty Estate has been named Best Wedding Venue in Kent at the Kent Wedding Awards 2025.

It’s an incredible achievement that reflects the dedication, passion and expertise of our team – and we couldn’t be prouder.

To add to the celebrations, we were also recognised as a Highly Commended Finalist in the Kent Wedding Venue – Heritage category, celebrating the rich history and rustic charm of the venue.

A Testament to Our Passion for Weddings

Winning ‘Best Wedding Venue in Kent’ is more than just a trophy on our shelf. It’s a testament to what we stand for – creating every wedding like it’s our only wedding – a day that’s truly the best of your life.

Thank You to Our Couples & Team

This award wouldn’t be possible without our incredible couples who trust us with their wedding day.

An enormous thank you also goes to our hardworking team. Their dedication and expertise creating seamless, joyful weddings is what truly sets The Harty Estate apart.

A Year of Exciting Changes

This award comes at an exciting time for us, with April 2026 seeing the grand opening of our new Spring Barn.

With an stunning ‘hammerbeam’ style oak frame, cathedral-like ceiling detail and estuary views through impressive feature windows, it marks a new era for The Harty Estate and our couples.

What Makes The Harty Estate Special

The Harty Estate sits in a remote and unspoilt corner of Kent, where the Swale estuary meets wild wetland meadows and open farmland – just an hour from London, but genuinely feeling like a world away. We’re a family-owned estate and we’ve been looking after people at their most important moments for over 25 years. That care runs through everything – the warmth of the team, the food that begins on our own estate, the accommodation that keeps your guests close, and the planning that makes sure the day unfolds exactly as you hoped.

We love what we do here, and we’re grateful every time someone chooses to share their day with us.
