Cooling Castle Barn is probably one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Kent – certainly of the ones I have visited. Not far from Rochester, Cooling Castle Barn is in Cooling; a small Kent hamlet. The Castle is owned by ex Squeeze keyboard player and TV presenter Jules Holland, I believe. The wedding venue is completely seperate from the castle, but does make for a lovely backdrop for couples getting married at Cooling Castle Barn.

Above is only one pretty area of this venue; the main hall. This is a fantastic size and looks wonderful when fully decorated. Even without adornment, the space is lovely.

The grounds are beautifully kept and a little summer house makes for a great area for outdoor ceremonies at Cooling Castle Barn.

These were taken in 2011 as a pre shoot for a wedding later that year. I prefer to visit venues that I have not visited previously, so I can get a feel for the place and work out where everything is in preparation for the wedding photography on the day. If you are getting married, please take a look at our wedding photography packages.
