We saw Kew Gardens on Saturday. Oh. My. God. It's possibly the prettiest wedding venue we've seen so far, and also - of course - the most expensive. Three times as expensive, to be precise, and it doesn't include things such as furniture, plates or glassware for the reception as other venues can do.
If you had a budget of £30k+, I would highly recommend it, especially for Spring/Summer weddings. The flowers in bloom with their smells, the wildlife roaming around (lots of geese) and the light in the glass Conservatory would be truly memorable. I can imagine even rainy days being highly romantic.
I can also imagine feeling fairly upset that you couldn't afford such a gorgeous place! No wonder it is completely unbooked for the month we were looking at - in contrast to Pembroke Lodge.
You really have to ask what is included in the price at the venues you look at - and always ask if the price includes VAT. We thought Kew wasn't SO bad - until we realised that VAT added an extra £3k to the price!
