Getting Married in Folkestone?

Are you from Folkestone or nearby? Why look for for venues further than your doorstep when there are some great choices literally around the corner. Closer venue means you travel less, your guests get to your venue much easier, it’s really easy to deal with and you can potentially save some money along the way.

The venue is probably the most important part of your wedding planning which is why most couples book the venue first. Once you have this sorted you can then look for more local suppliers to the venue. The venue will, to a degree, set the vibe for your wedding and also have a massive role in what your photos might look like.
