Anyone from or getting married in Folkestone/Hythe/Dover/Ashford?

Bluesilver15, 6 October, 2014 at 11:43 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hiya,

We're getting married at Lympne Castle but we live in Sevenoaks, over an hour away.

I want to use suppliers local to the venue as I think that will be easier and will cost less in transport, but I don't know the area very well and don't want to use any cowboys!

Can anyone recommend local suppliers? DJ's, florist, photo booth hire, mini bus hire, chair covers, centre piece hire etc etc.

Thanks for any help you can give me. x

    We're getting married in Ashford Smiley smile

    Although, like you, we're about an hour away so not aware of too many suppliers in the area! Do your venue have a recommended list at that that could help you asa starting point?

    Florist wise, we have ours booked and are using Belle Fleur

    And we also looked at Frida and Sophia

    Hope someone else is able to help. Lympne castle is stunning though!

    Thanks. Will check out the florists.

    Have looked at the recommended supplier list, but was hoping for some reviews too.

    I love my venue and it was much more reasonable than I thought it would be. I never thought I would find that kind of venue in my budget!

    E-mailed Iain at Glitterball and had a really quick response, which is better than most.

    Do you mind if I ask what he is charging and what is included?

    I am getting married abroad but live in thanet I have a list of suppliers for my uk reception that are fantastic!

    Venue decor - Hayley at sweet-heart-events.co.uk also on Facebook

    Flowers - Victoria flowers (her website is under going a refurb) but again on facebook www.victoriaforflowers.co.uk

    my cake maker is superb and a lovely lady in ashford - on Facebook gills cakes and cupcakes

    i love lympne castle it is stunning! And one of the places I was considering for our wedding. I went there for a Fayre and met some lovely suppliers so may be worth emailing them for a list of their regular ones too. I recommend all the ones I have listed as the ladies are lovely and so efficient. Also sweet heart stationary do stunning designs but iv forgotten the ladies name! That's who were using and we found her at lympne castle wedding Fayre. I can't help with tog as ours is a family friend from Birmingham but they had some wonderful portfolios on show there so again they can give you names
