WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AT MARLEYBROOK HOUSE
Where is Marleybrook House?
Marleybrook House is a one-of-a-kind, exclusive-use wedding venue set in the village of Preston, just outside Canterbury. Centred around a beautiful 17th-century thatched farmhouse, once home to legendary star Eartha Kitt, the venue sits within 10 acres of woodland, paddocks, and gardens that are exclusively yours for the day. Oh, and it has a fairground!
Offering three ceremony spaces, including the romantic Walled Garden, the raised American Colonial-style gazebo, and the oak-framed barn, you'll have a beautiful ceremony whatever the English weather has in store for your wedding day.
