Micro weddings and elopements are set to be a big trend this year, so Kent's Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve has launched a new Elopement Package for 2024. Ideal for couples wanting the intimacy and simplicity of it just being the two of you, no guest lists or table plans, just heartfelt vows and love.
An enchanting and unique setting draped in history; Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve is Kent's largest wildlife reserve set within 600 acres of magnificent private parkland. With picture-perfect panoramic views, the reserve's centrepiece the Grade II listed Port Lympne Mansion, is surrounded by 14 acres of landscaped gardens and is regarded as one of England's finest country homes.
The package includes: a ceremony in the stunning Moroccan Courtyard, or in the decadent Spencer Roberts room inside the mansion, a romantic three-course dinner in the beautiful Garden Room Restaurant and bottle of Gusbourne wine. There's no need to source a photographer, the package includes two hours with a local wedding photographer to capture every magical moment. You will enjoy an overnight stay in the magnificent Bridal Suite on the night of the ceremony, with a champagne breakfast. A private ranger tour of the iconic Port Lympne safari will follow your wedding day.
Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve offers a very special place for 'just the two of you' to elope and run away in the most romantic fashion! As well as incredible scenery, a truly historic venue and very wild neighbours, Port Lympne's passionate and dedicated team are ready to work with you to create an unforgettable, intimate occasion in the heart of the Kent countryside.
The elopement package costs £2,500, visit venue's website www.aspinallfoundation.org/port-lympne/weddings to find out more.
