Venue Testimonials

Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve is a beautiful place for weddings or other functions. Amazing hand-painted walls of animals and jungle settings inside, with a bar and open fire. Gorgeous views too. Segway tours are available and, of course, lots of wonderful animals.

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Port Lympne, and we still have friends tell us that it was the best wedding they'd ever attended! Our wedding coordinator was well organised and even went above and beyond to hire some vintage crockery for our wedding breakfast as a surprise. The added extras of a safari for the guests and giraffe feeding just added so much fun and made it that extra bit special.

Steph & Andy

I attended a wedding at this impressive country venue. The views and gardens were wonderful, and of course, it is attached to the Aspinal Zoo. You can rent a golf buggy to drive around the extensive grounds. As a wedding venue, it had everything you need for a romantic weekend.
