E-lope offered us everything we wanted and more, our intimate wedding was picture perfect and Sam and the team made sure everything was absolutely stunning. It was intimate, personal and romantic - exactly what we wanted. We opted for a twilight package and it was so magical, we wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you E-lope x

When looking for a wedding venue we wasn’t sure what we wanted. We knew we wanted something small and intimate. I found the Westenhanger castle on the internet and had to convince my wife-to-be on how lovely it looked. When we got there in person we both fell in love with the castle and the surroundings. The girls that work with the elopement team have been a pleasure from start to finish. While being there they made us feel welcomed and at home with the castle, they understood our needs and delivered everything as we expected and more. They have been with us from start to finish showing us and helping us to have the most spectacular day. We were so happy that we chose this place and the team that helped us throughout. Thank you so much.

Faultless. Seriously outstanding. Everything the team created for us was perfection. They listened to all our ideas and made them all come to life in a far better way than we had ever imagined. Our small ‘big day’ was seamless, you can tell that these ladies really do have a talent when it comes to arranging the perfect intimate wedding day. From start to finish the team really did go above and beyond for us, so much so I have made sure to let every one of our family and friends know of the incredible team at E-lope and that we seriously cannot recommend them enough! Thank you to you all at team E-lope for making our day so stress free and incredibly special!

Team E-lope we’re absolutely AMAZING! The most beautiful, stress free, romantic wedding we could ever ask for. The team themselves are lovely, making you feel calm and relaxed on the day, and their beautiful service, food and decor is just like anything I have experienced before. When booking, we knew it would be good, but we had absolutely no idea just how much fun we’d have, and how beautiful the day would be. Cannot thank them enough! A memory to be treasured forever

The quality of this elopement service is second to none, with a price tag that feels £10,000 TOO cheap. The E-Lope Team consistently bent over backwards to make every little detail perfect for the big day, with every aspect covered with a very high degree of professionalism. These are people who genuinely care about their craft and it reflects in the service provided. From the coaching on what will be done and said, to the personalized cake and floral arrangements, rest assured every part of this ceremony was perfect and most importantly, stress free. They were even able to cater a completely vegan wedding, with absolutely delicious food that we'd go out of our way to buy. We really couldn't have asked for better for the price point. Therefore, the experience created for us by E-Lope Kent will forever have a place in our hearts and for that, we will be forever grateful. Thank you.

We had a beautiful and happy wedding day thanks to the E-Lope team. They were friendly and kind, really put us at ease and gave us a day full of lovely surprises, from the picturesque venue we’d never seen before to the stunning flowers and styling. Neither of us are all that keen on photo sessions but Fleur made it intimate and fun, and got some lovely pictures of us being ourselves. Everyone has commented how happy and relaxed we look in our photos, which is how we felt on the day. Thank you E-Lope!

Firstly, I just want to say to anyone that has found these women you will honestly not regret booking them. To say I felt no stress on the lead up to my big day is an understatement - everytime I had the slightest worry about anything, Sam was absolutely amazing at ensuring those feelings disappeared (even if that meant answering my texts at all hours of the day). From the initial moment of contacting Sam and her team, I felt completely at ease with giving the biggest responsibility of planning my day to Sam and her amazing team. The added element of surprise of not seeing any of the finer details like the flowers or the cake until the big day made everything truly special to see on the day. I would never have thought that my ideas of my big day could be brought to life by a team of people, but my god... believe me when I say the day was exactly as I envisioned, down to even the little details like the table runners and presentation of the Afternoon Tea! I truly cannot believe that the day was as beautiful as it was and I can only thank Sam and her amazing team of absolutely brilliant people for giving me the wedding day of my dreams. If you have read this far into the review, there is more than likely a small part of you wishing for an intimate wedding so trust me when I say, you will not regret booking these fantastic people. Sam, thank you again for bringing my special day to life ❤️

We cannot say enough about Team E-Lope; without doubt, they put the "Special" into our Special Day. It genuinely was more than we hoped for. From the initial email to our Wedding Day they made it so easy but also so Wow!!!! Sam, Tania, Fleur, Ruth, Serena, we cannot thank you enough. Your attention to detail is exquisite and your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious. Our cheeks literally ached from so much smiling. You were like an extension of our family and we didn't want to leave! An intimate wedding at Castle Westenhanger with E-Lope is the new way to get married; it's personal, it's so very special and so are the lovely ladies behind it all. If you're reading this because you're contemplating an intimate wedding, just do it, it will be the best decision you make.

E-Lope Kent made our elopement wedding the most special day it possibly could be and we truly wouldn’t change a thing! With only a couple of months to plan, they absolutely pulled it out of the bag and every detail was perfect. The cake was delicious, the decor was stunning, the photos came out wonderfully and the whole day ran smoothly. We didn’t feel even a drop of stress from start to finish! We actually wrote about our experiences eloping with the company, on the e-lope Kent website. Thank you SO much team! We will be forever grateful.
