Kent is home to some of the most romantic wedding venues in the world. From the fairytale turrets of Leeds Castle and the rustic elegance of The Old Kent Barn to the sweeping coastal views at The Ferry House, the “Garden of England” offers a stunning backdrop for any “I do.”
However, many of Kent’s most beautiful venues are tucked away in rural locations with narrow lanes and limited parking. Coordinating the arrival of dozens (or hundreds) of guests is a logistical puzzle. At Kent Taxis, we specialize in making sure the only thing you have to worry about is your vows—not the traffic.
1. The Bridal Party: Arrive in Comfort
While many couples choose a vintage car for the “grand entrance,” a modern executive taxi is often the best choice for the rest of the bridal party.
- Space for the Dress: Our executive MPVs offer the legroom and door width needed to ensure bridesmaids and family members arrive without a single wrinkle in their attire.
- Multi-Stop Coordination: We can arrange for multiple pickups—from the hair salon to the hotel and finally to the ceremony—ensuring everyone stays on the same timeline.
2. Guest Logistics: The Rural Venue Challenge
Venues like Winters Barns in Canterbury or Odo’s Barn in Ashford are breathtaking, but they aren’t always easy for out-of-town guests to find.
- Station Pickups: Many of your guests will likely arrive via the high-speed rail at Ashford International or Canterbury West. Pre-booking a fleet of Kent Taxis ensures they aren’t left waiting on a platform in their wedding finery.
- The “Designated Driver” Solution: Weddings are for celebrating! By providing a dedicated taxi contact for your guests, you ensure everyone can enjoy a glass of Kentish sparkling wine without worrying about the drive home.
3. The “Midnight Run”: Getting Everyone Home Safely
The party often ends late, and in rural Kent, “flagging down” a cab is impossible.
- Pre-Booked Return Shuttles: We can coordinate a series of late-night pickups to take groups of guests back to their respective hotels or local Airbnbs.
- The Couple’s Getaway: After the final dance, let us provide a quiet, comfortable executive car to whisk the newlyweds away to their honeymoon suite or airport hotel.
4. Top Tips for Stress-Free Wedding Travel
To ensure your day runs like clockwork, consider these three tips:
- Share the Number: Include our phone number and WhatsApp link on your wedding website or “Details” card.
- Assign a “Transport Lead”: Give the Best Man or an usher the task of being the point of contact for the taxi company on the day.
- Buffer for the Lanes: Kentish country roads are beautiful but slow. Always add a 15-minute “buffer” to your travel times to account for farm traffic or narrow passing points.
