Garden & lake
Maidstone, Kent
The Orangery
Nine acres of landscaped gardens around a tranquil lake, with three ceremony settings — from lakeside woodland to a light-filled garden room.
Four settings.
One standard.
A castle, a priory, a country garden and an orangery, all in Kent.
Every Glow venue meets the same standard, and none of them look the same
Weddings at four Kent venues, planned and run by the same people.
Setting the standard, with elevated hospitality
We continually evolve our venues and our approach, rather than settling for what a wedding venue has always looked like — with a considered experience from your first enquiry through to the last dance, not just on the day itself.

Distinctively yours, exceptionally delivered

“From the first visit to the last dance, the team made planning feel easy. Every detail was thought through before we even asked.” — A recently married couple, The Gardens
