The Old Kent Barn at a Glance

For couples searching for The Old Kent Barn wedding videography, the strength of the venue is not just how it looks, but how naturally the day can move from preparations to ceremony, speeches and evening celebrations.
Getting Ready at The Old Kent Barn
The Old Kent Barn is designed to keep the whole day feeling looked after. The on-site dressing room and boutique accommodation mean the morning can unfold in one place, with details, family moments and anticipation all becoming part of the story.
From a wedding videographer perspective, this matters because the best films are built from atmosphere as much as events. The build-up, small reactions and quiet conversations all help the final film feel true to the day.
Ceremony, Confetti and Drinks
Couples can choose between the landscaped garden ceremony setting and the oak-framed barn. Both options give the film a clean, elegant look, with the gardens adding movement and colour when the weather allows.
These moments are often where a wedding video starts to find its pace. Guests relax, the couple can breathe again, and the real reactions begin to happen without being forced.
Wedding Breakfast and Speeches
The barn works well for wedding breakfasts and speeches because it feels polished without becoming impersonal. It has enough scale for a full celebration while still keeping reactions and emotion close to the couple.
Evening Celebrations
As the evening begins, The Old Kent Barn becomes a strong party space. The polished barn interiors, gardens and accommodation flow make it easy to capture the celebration from first dance through to the final moments of the night.

There truly are not enough words to describe how incredible Ryan and Talking Fly are! For two people who aren't the most comfortable on camera Ryan made us both feel so comfortable through the entire day. We have just received the trailer and full film and we are both absolutely blown away! It is absolutely unreal. Ryan captured our day better than we could have ever imagined. The way he edited my morning video together with the wedding video was seamless and it just kept getting better and better. Ryan, thank you so much for what you did for us and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We could not have asked for more. For anyone reading this wondering whether to book Talking Fly or not, please do not hesitate, just book them! Thanks again!
Ryan at Talking Fly was recommended to us by family members who used him previously for their weddings - after seeing how wonderful the videos came out we had no doubts on whether to use him for our wedding in September. The booking process was so easy and professional, and in the run up to the wedding he regularly would check back in to confirm timings etc, and really made the planning process much easier and stress-free. Our honest review of Ryan is that he is truly the best in the business. On the day, he was so warm, fun and easy going! We have never been in front of a camera so wasn't sure on how we would feel, but after 5 minutes you either didn't know he was there, or felt as though you were sharing the space with a friend. He took all our ideas on board and the videos came out better than expected. We booked for a: 1 minute Instagram reel, 3 minute video, then a 1.5 hour documentary. We are so pleased we picked this package as we now get to watch back so many elements of the day, and get to relive them whenever we want. Everything about the video is perfect. The quality of it is second to none and we would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone. Thank you again, Alice & Chay xxx
Our wedding video is everything we had dreamed of having! Ryan and his colleague captured every moment of our day which we got to re-live all over again. Ryan helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera during our wedding day. But not only being amazing on the day, all the in between Ryan always kept us updated before and after the wedding, the editing process to the full edit we were kept in the loop throughout. Ryan is fantastic and i would recommend him to everyone. We can’t wait to show everyone our videos and re watch them every year! Thank you so much Ryan! From Amy and Joe xx
