Testimonial - 6th October 2018
Joanna & Tom
We just wanted to send you an email to say thank you for your help in making Saturday an amazing day for us! Although we had rain, everything that we could control went so perfect and smooth. Nikki and Jonathan were amazing and so professional and our guests have had only good things to say about them. Barry the DJ was also great and I appreciate that he stuck with the cheesy, pop and 80s brief that we gave him and the Girls Aloud songs were great! Thank you for all your hard work in the run up to the day and for making sure everything ran smoothly and to plan. You are amazing at your role and we both appreciate your time and effort massively! So thank you again to yourself and the whole team at Port Lympne as our day was above and beyond what we expected!

We had the most amazing day! Absolutely perfect. The weather was incredible and the hotel and grounds just shone! We were so so happy and couldn’t have dreamed it would go so well. Thank you to you and your whole team - amazing. After the first hour of sheer panic I was able to relax and enjoy the whole thing - from the ceremony onwards I had the best time and Maz did too!
