Can you host legal ceremonies?

Currently we cannot hold civil ceremonies, however we can host wedding celebration blessings.

How many weddings will be booked on our day/over our weekend?

We only ever hold one event per weekend, this means you have exclusive access to the venue.

What are the time restrictions for us to set up?

Does the venue have heating?

Yes we have a marquee heater to ensure the venue is kept at a comfortable temperature for your day.

Are there any restrictions for the photographer?

We allow the same access to your photographer as we do for you and your guests. However, with prior arrangement we are happy to discuss any other locations on the estate for the photographer to use.

Does the price of your venue include VAT?

VAT is currently non-applicable to Kenton Hall Estate venue charges.

Are there any other costs I should be aware of?

We try to be as upfront as possible so that there are no hidden costs or last minute shocks. We will be clear about what we can and can’t offer within the price agreed.

Do you have accommodation available at Kenton Hall Estate?

We have Luxury Glamping accommodation available in the woodland on Kenton Hall Estate. The Yurt and The Shepherd Hut (each sleeps 2) have luxury private shower-rooms! We also have Lodge Tents, the site can accommodate 20 guests in total.

Can you recommend local accommodation for our guests?

We are lucky to have great local accommodation in the form of B&B’s, hotels and self-catering. Please contact Emily for a list of local accommodation.

Do you allow fireworks and wish lanterns?

As Kenton Hall is a grade II listed house and the venue is located on a working farm with livestock, unfortunately we are unable to allow wish lanterns or fireworks.

Do you allow candles?

Candles are permitted provided that location/amount is discussed with us in advance. We encourage the use of electrical LED tea lights inside the marquee and these do look fantastic.

At what time will our guests have to leave the venue?

We ask that all events are finished, with music off at 11.30pm and guests leave the premises by 12 midnight.

What is the booking procedure?

To confirm your booking we ask for a deposit of £950 and then further payment prior to your day along with a security deposit.
