Thanks for taking a look at our gorgeous venue set amongst Kent apple orchards. The space in The Night Yard is really charming and we do recommend you take a look in person as the photos do not do it justice. Please do get in touch if you would like to visit us or if you have any more questions that we might be able to help with.

The most amazing place!The most amazing place!
When we discovered The Night Yard online we had a feeling it was going to be something very special. From visiting, we fell in love with it. The Night Yard offers the most amazing space and even with quite a lot of rain on the day on the day every contingency was thought of by the team! Courtney, Nancy and all of The Night Yard team were hugely supportive throughout our planning process and had an incredible list of contacts who could facilitate every aspect of what we wanted to pull together. It was clear - whether it be correspondence via email, conversations on the phone or as a face-to-face meeting - that the team knew what we were after. Their help and advice throughout was second-to-none. Our wedding was the most incredible day and so many people commented on how wonderful The Night Yard was as a venue. The Night Yard really really is a hugely special venue. Now, just to figure out how we can do it all over again!

We loved being able to do everything in one place and the staff were lovelyWe loved being able to do everything in one place and the staff were lovely
An absolutely stunning venue, that offers up the opportunity to personalise your wedding on every level: from lighting to furniture, from caterers to live music. The setting was particularly suitable for weddings with young children present as it is walled on all sides, so parents could relax. It feels like a secret hideaway, but is minutes from Canterbury train station so easily reached from London and the South East. We loved being able to do everything in one place and the staff were lovely.

I was the Independent Celebrant at today's wedding at the night yard and I wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it was to work with Charlotte and her team. Nothing was too much trouble and Charlotte ensured the couple and their guests had an amazing day. I'm looking forward to working there again soon. Many thanks Charlotte.

We got married at The Night Yard last weekend and can't speak highly enough of the venueWe got married at The Night Yard last weekend and can't speak highly enough of the venue
We got married at The Night Yard last weekend and can't speak highly enough of the venue & Charlotte and her team. The setting was everything we imagined it would be (relaxed, fun, informal, lots of different "spaces" for people to use and hang out in) because it was the right balance of a blank canvas and guidance/advice from Charlotte on what would and wouldn't work. It was a genuine reflection of us and what we wanted our wedding day to be like. Charlotte herself was a superstar on the day, keeping everything on track but so subtly that we almost didn't notice she was there! And of course the bar staff were brilliant, which was just as well when our party practically drank them out of gin...! Thank you so much to all of the team for helping us realise our expectations of the day & for ensuring it all ran so smoothly that we really got to relax and enjoy it. If you are looking for a gorgeous setting in the middle of Kent, where you have an effective blank canvas but a team to match a more structured and restricted venue & guide you with recommendations etc so that you can switch off and enjoy your day, the Night Yard is the place for you!!We got married at The Night Yard last weekend and can't speak highly enough of the venue & Charlotte and her team.

Thank you to The Night Yard for making our special day exactly that!Thank you to The Night Yard for making our special day exactly that!
Wow, where can I start, we had our wedding at The Night Yard last weekend and it was more than I could have ever asked for for my wedding day. I have such high praise for Charlotte for being such a big help from the start, she went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect and exactly how we wanted (including being an absolute star in giving us a hand with our lively 5 month old son!) All our guests keep commenting on what a wonderful time they had and everything down to the catering and bar staff working with The Night Yard was spot on. It truly was a magical day and I didn't want the night to end.
