English Wedding member The Ferry House is delighted to reveal a new, second ‘readying room’; The Garden Lodge, just one of a long list of exciting developments at their waterside barn wedding venue in Kent.

In a secluded spot of their 1.5 acre Kitchen Garden, it’s the ideal space – far enough from the venue that you have privacy to help settle any big day nerves, but close enough so that you still feel part of the action. Enjoy brunch platters of freshly baked pastries, a selection of homemade rolls, sweet fruit picked from your garden surrounds and a fruit juice or few glasses of fizz on the terrace – perfect for that bit of calm and fresh air before you say ‘I do’.
