Lynsted Park

Lynsted Park near Faversham, Kent, offers an exceptional, private location for weddings and receptions. With only a limited number of days available for events, it’s a hidden gem of a place to get hitched. The wonderful grounds also make the perfect venue for other special events like birthdays, anniversaries and renewing vows.

Bar, Preferred Suppliers & Ideas

Bar & Drinks

If you are paying for a Reception at Lynsted Park, we supply the bar hardware and staff  –  it’s all included in the cost.  The drink itself is additional and we ask that drinks are purchased through us, though it is possible to provide your own, with a corkage charge.  We offer a wide range of soft and alcoholic drinks, and are more than happy to order in specific things that you would like.

If you would like a paying bar, or to pay for everything, or something in between, we can arrange this for you.

Professional refrigeration and ice are best set up 24 hours before any event and we organise all this and provide the glassware.   Our team of experienced staff will ensure that drinks flow smoothly from start to finish.

Obviously you don’t have to worry about clearing up and recycling, which is a good thing, as an event of 100 people can involve more than 1,000 glasses!  Our drinks prices and packages are very reasonable and we are happy to discuss any aspect of them with you.

Wedding Planner:
Available through events@lynstedpark.com. Nicky is a highly knowledgeable, independent wedding planner.  If you know you are going to be very busy or if being responsible for coordinating multiple details fills you with dread then she is the answer.  She is not only kind, honest and objective but importantly, one phenomenal organiser.

If you wish to use your own suppliers we would just ask that we meet them so that they are familiar with the layout and facilities available at Lynsted Park and that all health and safety requirements are in place.  We are, of course, very happy to talk through any aspects with you.
