Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve has again scooped a prestigious accolade at the annual Kent Wedding Awards.
The renowned venue was crowned winner in the ‘Venue of the Year – Something Different’ category, marking the sixth time it has won the much-coveted award. The venue fought off very strong competition from entrants such as The Plough at Leigh and The Buttery & Glasshouse in Sevenoaks.
The awards, an important fixture in the South East wedding industry calendar, celebrate the very best wedding professionals and services that the county has to offer. Winners were announced at a glittering black tie gala awards event at the Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel.
Kent Wedding Awards judges
Truly something different! Combining the flavour of Africa in Kent with the sophistication and elegance of the venue. Port Lympne’s wonderful menus using locally-sourced products and the combination of elegance and creativity make their win truly well deserved.
Finalists
Port Lympne was also a finalist in the hotly-contested ‘Venue of the Year’ category – and one of only six venues to be shortlisted in multiple categories.
The venue’s setting remains unique within Kent: one where couples can wed surrounded by hundreds of rare and endangered animals, knowing that their event supports wildlife protection. Nowhere else in the county combines the allure of nature, the warmth of British hospitality and a commitment to conservation. In addition to a variety of onsite accommodation options and stunning wedding spaces, Port Lympne offers added extras such as dramatic safaris and once-in-a-lifetime animal encounters.
