A Christmas Wedding at the Castle

We are beyond grateful for the wedding of our dreams coming to life at Lympne Castle. We fell in love with this venue on our first visit and cancelled all our other venues as we could simply not have had our wedding anywhere else. Joy, our wedding planner at the castle, brought every detail to life with such care and attention to detail. The food was incredible with big portions that are often not found at weddings, including the fantastic Focaccia bread that everyone devoured instantly. Every guest said they have never seen such a beautiful wedding venue and we will certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you to all the team and staff who worked at our wedding! Lily & Ethan.

Cindy & Lewis 12.12.2025

We got married on 12.12.2025 at the castle and it was the best day of our lives.
From the very start Joy helped us and was on board with our vision and nothing was too much or too different she absolutely made it happen with the team and the day was so very magical and special.
Everything ran smoothly and we couldn’t fault a thing it was just perfect!
The food was exquisite and views were amazing and the accommodation was perfect. Joy was just amazing and I would highly recommend booking your wedding at the castle. Also I would recommend a Christmas wedding the magic is just there and there are already so many decorations that the venue have already got. Was just beautiful and 3 weeks later everyone is still talking about magical the day was!

Lympne Castle - Amazing

I cannot put into words how amazing our day was, not only because of the venue itself but because of the staff and the wedding co-ordinates that helped us throughout the process and on the big day. Everything ran smoothly and nothing was ever to much to ask. The food was unbelievably good and the venue was beautiful inside and out. It’s a place we and our friends and family will now never forget.

Our perfect day...

The service we received from our first enquiry was amazing. We were informed of all our choices and Joy was so helpful and flexible as we weren't having a formal day.
The day itself, couldn't have gone better, from my arrival through to the end of the evening. All of the staff were not only professional, but friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I was having a quiet moment with a friend, just sitting out from the party, and one of the guys happened to come up as he was about to go home. He offered to get us some water, which was very kind and very much appreciated! This reflected how special we were both made to feel during the day. Thank you to everyone at Lympne Castle.

Hi Kerry, I hope you & Dave are well and enjoying married life!

We look forward to welcoming you back to the castle / Naughty Dog soon ✨.

Thanks,
Joy

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.
