The Garden Gazebo sits just beside the Oak Lodge and is the closest ceremony spot to your getting-ready room, making it a perfect choice for a relaxed summer wedding. Don’t worry about your dress being revealed beforehand – no guests can see into the Oak Lodge garden area. So you will get that moment when you reach the moongate and everyone sees you at the same time.

Vows With Views

Its home to picture perfect backdrop of the rolling hills of the Kent Countryside.

Your guests take their seats on rustic wooden benches and watch your ceremony unfold centre stage,

With uninterrupted views of the fields stretching out behind you. It’s serene, scenic, and effortlessly romantic.

The Gazebo area offers plenty of space for live music as you walk down the aisle. Whether it’s a singer, saxophonist, or harpist, the music flows beautifully in this setting.

Styled Your Way

When it comes to styling the Gazebo, our couples have complete freedom to personalise it however they wish. This could include adding beautiful flower arrangements to the gazebo itself and the moongate entrance. A white aisle carpet leading from the benches to the Gazebo adds an elegant touch to your entrance, while flowers and lanterns lining the aisle help create the perfect, romantic setting for your ceremony.

When it comes to styling your ceremony area, why not consider booking one of our trusted suppliers? They can help bring your vision to life on the day, making your ceremony truly unforgettable.

Weather-Proof Romance

The Garden Gazebo is a weather-dependent ceremony area, which is something to keep in mind when making your decision. However, please don’t let this discourage you from choosing it, as it is a beautiful and popular setting for your ceremony. If the weather isn’t on our side on the day, we can seamlessly move your ceremony to either our Water Terrace Ceremony Area or the Wisteria Room, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
