Providing a picturesque and private venue for your wedding ceremony and reception all under one roof, London Golf prides themselves on outstanding catering and attention to detail. Set in the heart of 700 acres, a clubhouse for all seasons awaits you from the impressive one-mile driveway – a real wow factor from the start.

Port Lympne Aldington Rd, Lympne, Hythe CT21 4LR 01303 883747 www.aspinallfoundation.org/port-lympne/weddings Port Lympne has been voted the ‘something different’ Kent wedding venue of the year in 2016, 2017 and 2018, so if you’re looking for a wedding that is something out of the ordinary (and yet still incredibly romantic and utterly memorable) Port Lympne should be your first choice. Port Lympne’s Grade II listed mansion and perfectly landscaped grounds are licensed for civil partnerships and vow renewals too, and of course the views across the largest wild animal park in Kent are unparalleled. Leeds Castle, often called ‘the loveliest castle in the world’, is the ideal romantic setting for your dream wedding day. You can celebrate inside the castle itself – the state rooms with impressive views across the moat, or the stunning 1920’s drawing room are available, or you can choose to hire (exclusively) the 16th- century Maiden’s Tower. Both are beautiful. And both will give you memories to treasure. If you prefer the idea of a fairytale outdoor setting, you can be married in the private walled garden of the Maiden’s Tower. 92
