Stunning venue, excellent staff, outstanding experience

We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out. The venue is just stunning - a beautiful castle, lovely grounds, and overlooking the sea. We had a very small wedding of 15 guests, and we were treated like royalty. We had access to the full castle and spent the day wandering between different sections, enjoying every single one. The food (we had a BBQ) was delicious, and the staff were wonderful. It was all coordinated by Joy who was a pleasure to work with. She spent the day seamlessly coordinating everything behind the scenes, whilst looking after and playing with our dog which was such an appreciated touch! We stayed at the cottages on the castle and they were fantastic. Not only big and full of character, but it also made logistics so much easier having our guests at the location. The new castle bistro (the Naughty Dog) also meant everyone had a place to meet, drink and eat inbetween wedding events.

The best thing about the castle is that it caters for all types of weather. So no matter what you get on the day, you'll still have an incredible experience.

Finals things: the photos you'll get will be outstanding. What a backdrop! And the prices are extremely reasonable. We highly highly recommend this venue.

Gorgeous venue that could decorate to our own style

Great venue, beautiful and so many amazing comments from our guests. The different rooms and spaces made it more and gave the variety we wanted

The team also worked very well to be flexible with last minute changes to make it work and I can’t thank them enough for that

The views are stunning

Book this for your wedding - you won’t be disappointed!

So we got married in the church (next door) and hired out one of the rooms in the castle for our reception.

I can’t fault the service. It was spectacular and really made our day special. I don’t think I’ve ever had service like that where the staff are so professional, personable and just amazing all round. We were aware that we didn’t hire out the venue or anything like that specifically for our wedding - it was a room in the castle so we didn’t really expect much. But the staff made us feel like we did. They even roped in some of the gardeners to pull smoke bombs for one of our pictures! The staff made every effort. Laura and Mike were great and went beyond expectations. We just have no complaints at all with anything. It was an amazing day.

The castle itself is picture perfect and for us was the perfect setting. It’s rich in history and the attention to details is incredible. There’s multiple rooms of varying sizes. We had a small wedding so hired out one of the smaller rooms but it looks like they can cater to a wedding of any size. We also stayed in one of the cottages within the castle grounds along with the guests which were equally perfect.

Pretty much every wedding I’ve been to the food has been mediocre at best. But the food here was great. Everybody really enjoyed the food. The kitchen obviously know what they’re doing so kudos to them.

This is honestly the best place to have your wedding. You’re in very safe hands with the staff here, the castle is gorgeous (and the views!) and the we couldn’t think of a better place to do it.

Thank you for the special day!

Faultless from start to finish!

Our wedding day was absolutely faultless from start to finish! The wedding team were so helpful and knowledgable throughout the planning process and our coordinator Dan looked after us for our wedding day - thank you Dan!
Lympne Castle is such a beautiful venue, and we can't wait to visit again once the castle bedrooms are ready!
Love, Sarah & Tom

From start to finish, the staff at Lympne Castle were amazing. Professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful. We planned our own wedding, and although I feared it would become overwhelming, Kate made it so easy for us. The day came off without a hitch and everything was just beautiful, from the venue to the food. I am so grateful to all the wonderful staff, Kate and Mike, Joy, and all the sweet and charming servers. You made our wedding perfect!

May Wedding

Lympne Castle could not have made our wedding day more special, it was a beautiful and intimate occasion from start to finish. We got to decorate the chairs as we liked and having the rooms to get changed in made it very easy in the end. The food was good and the staff very helpful, especially Mike and Laura. Everything was thought about and all ideas welcomed and accommodated where possible. We had the best day and would repeat it in a heartbeat to soak it all up again. The castle was a little bit of history that made the start of our adventure even more magical. Thank you to everyone at Lympne Castle.

Our dream wedding day

Lympne Castle was truly perfect in every way. The Bridal Suite is stunning and was such a great space to enjoy the morning with my bridal party. We were lucky enough to get married on the lawn outside, the view is unbelievable and our guests were wowed! Our wedding breakfast was held in the Great Hall and genuinely felt like something out of a fairytale. The food throughout the day was amazing and the staff were so attentive and accommodating - especially our wedding coordinator Kate (we can’t thank you enough!!). I’d recommend Lympne Castle in a heart beat and our guests still talk about how magical the venue was - can we do it again please?! Love, Mr & Mrs J

Hi Jane, I can't believe it's been just over two months since your wedding! Hope you and Karl are enjoying married life.
We'd love to do it again too - let's start planning your first anniversary party soon!

Breath-taking wedding venue

I could not imagine anywhere else more perfect for a wedding. It was our first and only venue viewing, we fell so in love with it that we booked a date there and then. We loved that our ceremony, reception and accommodation (we used the cottages) were all within the grounds plus the added bonus of the new bridal preparation room. We also had the benefit of Christmas trees and log fires which made our winter wedding particularly festive in the castle setting. The building and views are stunning - our guests were in awe! Aimee, our coordinator was first class in communications, expertise and ensuring the preparations and day ran to schedule. Nothing was too much trouble for her, even helping the grooms party with their buttonholes, a kind and personal touch. The staff were fabulous too and made us all smile with their lovely comments about our celebrations. The brilliant chefs offer an impressive menu, catering for all dietary choices and it is both delicious and beautifully presented. Lympne Castle had everything we could have wished for and more, it is a truly special venue, one of a kind.

Best Wedding Venue - Look no further

Lympne Castle is the most perfect wedding venue. Not only is it absolutely stunning, has roaring fires, beautiful grounds and views but you get the whole venue exclusive which for us was a big bonus!

From the moment we booked it as a venue we were assigned a wedding coordinator - ours was Aimee and she was fantastic! Anything we needed she was super quick to reply and so helpful. We visited the castle lots and went to one of their dinner nights (which I highly recommend.) Our wedding day couldn't have been as smooth as it was if it wasn't for Aimee and her staff they made everything so easy for us and she even held my umbrella and helped me across to the church in the morning.

Everything that the staff do is perfect - the food is superb and the whole venue flows nicely for guests. If you are thinking of getting married here look no further or even for a party - it's a fantastic venue and you won't be disappointed.

An amazing venue with fantastic staff

well what can I say!! an amazing venue with fantastic staff. From beginning to end we were given so much personal service from everyone at the castle but Aimee was amazing!!! from small little touches around the castle to making me and my now husband feel calm before the big moment...Aimee must have had a Mary Poppins bag as she had everything we needed on hand from sewing kits to mints, scissors and glue and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you for making our day so special ...even to the last touch of a hug goodbye this morning .
