​
How do I pay my first wedding deposit and by when?
​
The first non-refundable deposit of £500 will be due on booking and confirming your wedding date with us.
This can be paid by debit card or credit card, in person, via payment link or bank transfer.
The second deposit of £500 will be due one year before the wedding with the third deposit of £1000 due six months before the wedding. The final balance will be due by at least one month before the wedding date.
Please note that the balance updates will always be shown on your event sheet and your deposits and balance payment will be made from this.
​
​
What are the next steps after wedding deposit has been paid?
​
You will receive e-mail confirmation of your wedding, the booking process and a copy of your booking on an ‘event sheet’ which will show all your wedding details, pricing and payments made to date with the outstanding balance showing.
A meeting can then be arranged for a mutually convenient time between yourselves and the Wedding Co-ordinator to discuss your wedding day arrangements, any questions you may have and give you an overview of a typical wedding day here at the Weald of Kent.
The event sheet will be e-mailed to you when any amendments are made to it, so that you are kept updated at every step.
If you would like to have another meeting to clarify anything for your wedding day, this can be arranged at a mutually convenient time with the Wedding Co-ordinator .
As we strive to make your wedding day as perfect as we can for you, it is important that we have all your information and requirements so that they can then be detailed on your event sheet. Please remember if it is not on your event sheet, we won’t know about it.
​
​
Do we book the wedding ceremony?
​
No, the wedding co-ordinator will do this for you after your deposit has been received and the wedding confirmed. A copy of the wedding ceremony confirmation will then be e-mailed over to you.
​
You will then contact the Registrar on the number given on this confirmation to arrange a meeting with them and pay their deposit.
​
​
What is the maximum number of guests I can have on a table and is there a minimum number?
The maximum number of guests per table is ten and the minimum would be 6. You can have a mixture of tables for 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 guests and a maximum of 10 guests on the Top Table. There can be a maximum of 3 tables in a row in the room and how many rows you will require will be dependent on your numbers, e.g. Top Table, a row of 3 tables, a row of two tables and a row of 3 tables.
​
​
What bits and pieces do we need to supply for the wedding tables?
You will need guest name cards. Table confetti (if you are having this), favours and any centre pieces if you are not having our ornamental martini glasses with lit floating candles.
You may also want to bring in a guest book and pen, post box and any other items that are pertinent to your wedding. These can be left with us in the week preceding the wedding which we will be pleased to put out for you.
​
​
Will we have to find our own way around on the actual wedding day?
No, one of our dedicated Wedding Managers will look after you and guide you through every step of the day. They will offer advice if needed and make sure that everyone is where they should be at the right time.
​
​
Where are we able to have photographs taken outside?
​
Photographs can be taken on the bridge between the two lakes, on the area of grass just in front of the Clubhouse bar for group photographs, around the Clubhouse on the patio area and on the right hand side of the Weald of Kent as you drive in off the main road along the line of Poplar trees.
A golf buggy can be hired in advance for a cost of £50.00 and used for your photographs. If this is required, please let the wedding co-ordinator know and this can be arranged for you.
Please note that all other areas are golfing territory.
​
​
What music do I need for the wedding ceremony?
You will need four separate sections:
-
A selection of music or songs whilst your wedding guests are arriving and being seated
-
One piece of music or song for the Bride’s entrance and walk down the isle.
-
Two or three songs or a longer piece of music for the signing of the Register
-
One piece of music or song for the Bride and Groom’s exit
We can download your wedding music for you, just let us know the artist, title of the song and if it is the original version (please note that we can’t download from You Tube)
​
​
Do we contact the disco after confirming our wedding with you?
No, the Wedding Co-ordinator will book the disco for you and the DJ will then make contact with you to confirm the booking. He will, at a later date, send you a form to be filled in and returned, detailing your playlist for the evening, first dance, etc.
​
Can I offer my guests a choice of menus within the package?
Yes, if you would like a choice two starters and two desserts for the carvery or a choice of two starters, two main courses and two desserts for the set menu there would be an additional surcharge for this. We would then supply you a link to input choices. Additional charges
​
What do I have to do to make sure there are hotel rooms available for my wedding guests to book for my wedding day?
The first step would be to e-mail the hotel of hotel@weald-of-kent.co.uk and let them know how many rooms in total (up to 26 rooms) you would like to reserve in the hotel, giving your name, wedding date.
The hotel will confirm this and give you a room booking link to give to your guests.
Your guests can then click on this to then book their hotel room.
