The Gardens is a breathtaking English country garden wedding venue in the quaint village of Yalding in Kent, between Maidstone (7 miles) and Tunbridge Wells (11 miles). It’s around 40 miles from London, roughly an hour’s drive through rolling fields and picturesque countryside.
The Gardens is a horticultural masterpiece, with 12 acres of grounds divided into 16 landscaped gardens, each with its unique theme and style for your exclusive use. You’ll enjoy endless photo opportunities, from tumbling vines and whimsical forests to their grand Victorian greenhouse donated by Prince Charles.
Exclusively yours for your wedding, you will enjoy a choice of three stunning ceremony locations. From the wooden gazebo with panoramic garden views to their two indoor ceremony areas in the barn, create your dream day with expert support at every step.
The bespoke Nordic tipis adjoining the barn provides the perfect location for your unforgettable wedding breakfast. Draped in fairy lights and warmed with fire pits, you’ll enjoy an exceptional, locally sourced menu designed with their talented in-house catering team. As the sun sets and The Gardens transforms into a twilight oasis with endless festoon lights, you can dance the night away in the barn with your guests.
You’ll be supported by a dedicated wedding coordinator who will be by your side throughout your planning journey, and you’ll also enjoy access to their exclusive online wedding planning tool that’s dedicated to reducing time-consuming wedmin.
The Gardens was the most beautiful and perfect location for our wedding and we could not have been happier to have picked it for our special day. The team went above and beyond for us, and it was clear that it was their main aim to make sure everything went smoothly. In the lead-up to the wedding, everything was handled in such an efficient and professional way that we were so much less stressed than we could have been. The most picturesque, stunning location for our ceremony surpassed anything that we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful to everyone at The Gardens for making our dream wedding a reality.

We got married at The Gardens on Sunday 25th July 2021 and it was the most wonderful day.
The gardens are picturesque, the tipis are stunning, and the food was exceptional. Not only is the venue such a beautiful place, but the staff are incredible. Jenny was our wedding coordinator and she truly is amazing, she guided us every step of the way and I don’t think it would have been the day it was without her, she is knowledgeable, kind, and outstanding at her job.
Thank you to everyone at The Gardens who gave us the best wedding day ever!
