Study, Garden Room or Kentish Suite
Maidstone's registration base is Oakwood House, Oakwood Park, ME16 8AE. Three ceremony rooms are described. The Study is a panelled room for up to 15 people. The Garden Room, with a terrace, holds up to 40. The Kentish Suite holds up to 80. The house sits among mature gardens and tall trees, which are the backdrop suggested for photographs. It is wheelchair accessible, with free parking for wedding parties.
A room-by-room tariff is not printed on the council pages, so send the room name rather than a guessed fee. Tell the photographer the start time, and whether you are using the terrace and the gardens or leaving straight away. The ceremonies team is on 03000 414004. Lanes off Tonbridge Road are slow when the schools come out, so a late afternoon start needs a more generous arrival. Fifteen people in the Study and eighty in the Kentish Suite need different lenses and different time to gather. If the terrace is the portrait spot, say how long you have it, because the next booking may need the paths. A short signing is often one or two hours. The gardens are extra minutes you should add on purpose. If the party continues elsewhere, name that second address and the drive.
Which Oakwood House room holds 15 people?
The Study. It is panelled, so the photographs are close and indoor unless you step into the gardens afterwards. The Garden Room holds up to 40, with a terrace. The Kentish Suite holds up to 80. All three are at Oakwood House.
Where can the group stand at Oakwood House?
Wedding parties have free parking, and the building is wheelchair accessible. The gardens and tall trees are the setting suggested for photographs. Say whether you are staying outside or leaving when the registrar finishes.
Who confirms the Oakwood House time?
The ceremonies team, on 03000 414004. Pass the confirmed room and start time to the photographer once that reply arrives. Until then, a quote can only be based on the room you expect to book.
Can we use the gardens after a Study ceremony?
The gardens are the photograph backdrop for the house. Ask how long you may stay outside after the Study, because another booking may need the paths. Put that outdoor allowance in the hours you send.
What if the meal is away from Tonbridge Road?
Name the second venue and the drive at that time of day. School-run traffic on the lanes is a reason to pad the gap. The Oakwood House room and the meal are two stops if you want both covered.
