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!

Alternatively, in the winter months, ceremonies can be conducted in one of the breathtakingly decorated ground floor rooms. The stunning venue can cater for civil weddings for an intimate ceremony of just 2 or up to 200 guests comfortably, all with the charming backdrop of the Reserve.
Eat
Our chefs understand the importance of great food, preparation and presentation. It’s our philosophy that the food should be of restaurant quality, despite catering for large parties. New menus are put together annually including a choice of two starters, mains and desserts. Couples can also arrange their own menu and chefs are happy to discuss menu options and arrange tastings. From formal wedding breakfasts to buffets, hog roasts and barbecues – the team are delighted to offer advice and arrange the perfect food for their special day.
The Aspinall kitchen and prep areas are also available for dry hire so that couples can bring in their preferred caterers.
Party
The Aspinall Suite, adjoining the Mansion offers the ideal venue for eating, drinking and dancing after the ceremony, no matter what the weather holds in store and for an unforgettable special touch, couples and their wedding guests can enjoy a VIP safari to The African and Asian experience. A variety of animal experiences can also be arranged, from meeting the tigers to feeding giraffes or black rhinos.
Picture Perfect
The beautiful landscaped gardens provide a stunning backdrop for memorable photographs with fountains cascading into ornamental ponds, colourful borders planted with vivid blooms, dramatic walkways and of course, the magnificent Trojan Steps – decorated with mystical Egyptian friezes. As dusk falls, twinkling and subtle lighting illuminates the Mansion and gardens, creating a magical atmosphere.
