From the moment my now husband and I walked into this venue, we knew it was where we were going to get married, and my word it didn’t disappoint. It’s been difficult planning a wedding throughout covid, but The Gardens really supported us throughout. Our day then finally came and it was the most perfect day. We are honestly so happy with how everything went on our day! Everything from start to finish was incredible and we didn’t have to think about a thing. Neither we or our guests were ready to leave! I’m so glad that the weather came out so our guests could fully enjoy the beauty of The Gardens. The staff, the food, everything was just spot on. Thank you so much!

The Gardens not only is breath taking venue, but the team are absolutely brilliant. Right from the moment of booking their communication was fantastic, using their online software made planning our wedding so easy and they were so quick to get back to any questions we may have had. No question seemed to phase them. On the day they were truly extraordinary, our guest kept commenting on just how professional they all were. They went out of their way to make sure they day went smoothly and went above and beyond in everything.

Where do I start when thanking this wonderful venue for the truly best day of our lives! We found the Gardens a long time ago pre-engagement when we visited the tipi’s restaurant. The minute I stepped in the door I knew this was the place I pictured myself marrying my best friend. Just under 2 years later there we were doing just that. From enquiry to execution of the day the team have been fabulous. All my questions were never too much for Jenny, Vicky, Lilly and Bex, there were a lot, I like to be organised. Nothing was ever too much for the team at the gardens which made me feel at ease on the run up to the big day. I have some very particular dietary requirements for medical reasons, but Vicky never worried about this, every accommodation possible was made to help me enjoy a wonderful day without the fear of being unable to eat or worry about what might occur if I do. For that I will be forever grateful, not only to Vicky but also to the Chef who bless his heart searched several supermarkets for a specific food I could eat to go with my evening meal. Thank you will never be enough! You made my evening extra special. Jenny and Bex, you were there for me every step of the way whether it be to discuss my mountain of DIY ideas, help setting up in the morning and opening early on a frosty November morning. Thank you for every reassuring word and bit of help you provided us to help us pull off the most beautiful and memorable day of my life. Harvey and the evening team were amazing helping us pick ourselves up after a veterinary emergency saying goodbye to our beloved dog part way through our wedding. Bex and Harvey kept the day going for us during our absence. Thanks to your help we were able to celebrate the rest of our day with our little angel in our minds. Harvey was on site the day before our wedding and was happy to lend a hand however we needed to set up for our magical winter wonderland and for that we are very grateful! Not only did it help us physically but with everything else going on it helped ease our worries about having everything ready for the big day with our minds already on other things. If you are looking for a venue, be it for a winter, spring, summer, or autumnal wedding you will never be disappointed when choosing the Gardens. I have always been a fan of Christmas time and therefore our wedding was always going to have a nod towards Christmas themes. Having the bonus of some pre-decorated areas in the breakfast tipi and the barn helped keep our wedding budget on track. Not only did this help with less DIY décor but it also gave us the cosiest atmosphere we could have hoped for! What more do you want on a frosty winter afternoon than a scrumptious home cooked meal in a tipi, surrounded by guests you love and snuggled up by the glorious fire pits. If you or any of your guests are worried about it being ‘too cold’, we had many guests worried about this, fear not it is wonderfully toasty in time for your ceremony, dinner, and reception. You need not worry about being cold, do not let this put you off a winter wonderland wedding at the Gardens. Let’s talk about wedding costs, weddings nowadays are very expensive and for what you get can often seem like a lot for not so much in return. When it comes to the Gardens this is not the case. We went with a winter wedding for reasons other than budget however knowing that it was in a comfier price range for us having it this time of year but just the icing on the cake. We had a gorgeous venue, stunning hub for the bridal party getting ready, wonderful staff happy to help however they can, a brilliant DJ, Scrumptious dinner and decorations all included in our budget. There aren’t many venues around that will offer you such a huge package for such a value price! All I have left to say is thank you so much to the whole team at The Gardens Yalding and please if you are reading this thinking of having your dream day here – do it! Go and book that show around, you won’t be disappointed, make your fairytale come true.

What a venue! I was the wedding photographer Naomi & Matt’s wedding at The Gardens and was VERY impressed. I see a LOT of venues, and it’s no wonder this is popular.The Gardens is a stunning place with masses of beautiful open space, lovingly tended with gorgeous colours, lights and run by a super team of people.On the day, it was HOT. The staff were out with fans, lots of iced water and always on hand to help all the guests. It was well organised, everything ran to time, and the food was superb. All the guests enjoyed themselves and the open space gave the couple a chance to escape for a bit too.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way. This place is superb.

We had our wedding here in August and I could not fault it. From the very beginning all the staff were so accommodating and so friendly. They are extremely organised which for any bride makes things alot easier the day of the wedding. It is an absolute stunning venue there grounds are just a dream and so well taken care of. The food was absolutely gorgeous also. 100% recommend this venue. Thank you to all the staff for making our day so special.

The Gardens is one of our favourite venues. It's full of festival vibes and fairytale fun! It looks beautiful in all seasons, from the whimsical wisteria in Spring, to the red leaves of Autumn. It really is the perfect place for a destination wedding. We have loved providing garden games here all year and can't wait to be back in 2024!

I got married at The Gardens earlier this month and honestly could not recommend them enough! From first going to look at the venue right to the very end of our day there was no question or request too big or too small. The team are fantastic and all such lovely people. Their expertise in the run up to the wedding, along with their frequent wedding showcases were invaluable in giving us the best day possible. On the day they truly looked after everything. My husband and I couldn’t believe how well everything ran and our guests all praised the venue from the look, the food and the service. Thank you so much to the whole team, especially Lilly, for making our day so perfect.

What a beautiful place to come and visit. Definitely won't be walking to get the place but you can drive there or get a taxi. Plenty of parking and they do private events, a restaurant is open doing the day. Plenty of friendly staff around, and competitive menu. Seating in garden area available and the garden itself is magnificent.

Absolutely superb venue! I’ve been to some wedding venues over the years and this one is definitely the best, great food and reasonably priced drinks at the bar, staff throughout the day were great and the gardens are lovely! Plenty of easy parking too!

My son and his partner Sarah were married here last Friday. An absolutely superb venue. A beautiful location and faultless, professional, but unobtrusive, service throughout the long day from all the staff involved. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.
