Nestled on the Swale estuary with stunning water and countryside views, The Ferry House offers exclusive-use weddings, award-winning dining, on-site accommodation, and expert planning support.

Set along the stunning Swale estuary, The Ferry House is the ultimate countryside escape for your dream wedding. With sweeping views of the water and surrounding fields, it’s the perfect mix of relaxed rural charm and modern comfort. Whether you’re planning a cosy, intimate celebration or a big, fun-filled party, we’ve got everything you need to make your day unforgettable.

You’ll have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to saying “I do.” Tie the knot indoors in our rustic Hop Barn for up to 130 guests, or head outside to the Oak Gazebo in our wedding gardens for a ceremony surrounded by nature, for up to 200 guests. And from April 2026, we’ll be opening our brand-new Spring Barn, an amazing space designed to make your wedding even more magical, seating up to 260 for your ceremony.

For your reception, celebrate in style in the Hop Barn for up to 70 guests or the Event Suite for 180, and from 2026, the Spring Barn will become the main reception space for up to 260 guests. With two bars, a cosy lounge, and wedding gardens, there’s plenty of room for you and your guests to relax and party the night away with 350 guests.

We’re all about amazing food here at The Ferry House. Our 2AA Rosette-awarded chefs create mouthwatering menus packed with fresh, seasonal ingredients—most of which are grown, reared, or sourced right here in Harty. Think beef from our family farms, game from our estate shoot, and produce from our 1.5-acre kitchen garden.

Whether you fancy a formal sit-down meal, something more relaxed like sharing platters, or a totally bespoke menu, we’ll make sure your wedding feast is one to remember.

Weddings go by in a blur, so why not make a weekend of it? We’ve got 11 4-star B&B rooms that can sleep 22+ guests, including a gorgeous honeymoon suite for the happy couple. Wake up to a hearty breakfast the next morning and relive all the fun from the day before.

Got more guests? No problem. Our nearby Mocketts Farm cottages can sleep up to 53, so everyone can stay close and enjoy even more quality time together in the countryside.

Every wedding at The Ferry House is different because we believe your big day should be as unique as you are. Whether you’re planning a small ceremony for 2-30 of your nearest and dearest, or a two-night celebration with everyone you know, we’ll help you make it happen.

Decorate the venue however you like, add your own special touches, and let our friendly wedding team take care of the details. From your first enquiry to the morning after your wedding, we’re here to make sure everything runs smoothly—and with our new wedding planning portal launching in 2025, organising your big day will be easier than ever.
