What to know before you book

Always ask about the wet weather plan, and whether it is a space you would be happy to use.
Shade matters in summer. Ask about trees, umbrellas or a marquee.
Gardens change through the year, so visit in the same season as your wedding if you can.
Check sunset times when planning photos, especially in winter.
Ask whether a marquee is needed for the reception, and who supplies it.

Best time of year

Spring blooms and autumn colour are the highlights. Summer days are long and warm, and winter gardens still suit a short ceremony.
