The Gardens wedding photography and film
The Gardens is a beautiful wedding venue. Watch real wedding films from The Gardens by Big Day Productions.
We've filmed at a lot of outdoor venues across Kent, and The Gardens has a quality of natural light that genuinely makes our job easier and the results better. There's a real sense of open space here, with the greenery doing a lot of the visual heavy lifting. It's the kind of place where beautiful moments just happen, and we're ready when they do.
Getting to The Gardens
The nearest train station is Headcorn, about 2 miles from the venue, with regular services from London Bridge and Ashford International. From Headcorn, a short taxi ride will get you there comfortably. If you're flying in, Gatwick Airport is your best bet, roughly 45 minutes by car depending on traffic. Heathrow is doable but adds time to your journey. There is parking on site, so driving is straightforward. Carpooling is worth considering if you're coming from the same area. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms get busy on weekends, so sort this before the big day to avoid a long wait.
