Step into a place where every detail feels magical. At Preston Court, history, beauty, and playfulness come together to create moments that feel larger than life.

Meet the Owner
Hello! I’m Anna-List Brain, and I am so glad you found us. Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll ever take, and I know just how much heart goes into finding a place that feels "right." At Preston Court, we’ve always believed that weddings should be a perfect blend of elegance and pure, unadulterated joy. When my family and I look out over the estate, we don’t just see a venue; we see a place where stories begin. Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet moment under the trees on our island or a whirlwind ride on the vintage carousel with all your favourite people, our goal is to make sure your day feels exactly like you. We take great pride in being a little bit different—a little more magical, a little more whimsical, and a lot more personal. From the first time you walk through our barn doors to the moment you head off as newlyweds, my team and I are here to make sure every detail is handled with care, warmth, and a bit of Kentish charm. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and hopefully help you bring your dream wedding to life here at the farm. Warmly, Anna List Brain
Wedding Tips from Preston Court
Make sure the wedding venue you choose 'feels' like you.
Dont over complicate things. Simplicity is key.
Visit at least 3 venues in person and take your time - often you will find that 'the one' wasn't that on paper initially.
