I can’t believe it’s a week ago since our event, we had soo many compliments on the venue during the evening, many guests are local and so few knew the orangery was there or how beautiful it was as a venue, so huge congratulations to everyone for making the night so lovely.

We worked with the incredible events team at Port Lympne to plan a surprise party for my mum‘s 60th. Not only was the day absolute perfection with everything thought of including transport for our guests and shelter during the rain, but the team thought of absolutely everything for the day down to the logistics and timings as well as making sure the third-party suppliers like the florist and the band had ease of entry and set up. The day was perfect with incredible food and a wonderful safari experience for all 50 of our guests. I would not hesitate to book another event at Port Lympne, using the exact same team who were a logistical dream.
