Are you licensed for Civil Ceremonies and Partnerships?
Yes, we are licensed for ceremonies and civil partnerships to take place with three venue options including The Buttery, The Glasshouse or The Terrace (outdoor). When you book your wedding with us, we contact Kent County Council directly and book the ceremony for you so that you can sit back and relax!
