From the stunning venue ,the relaxed atmosphere, oh the food !! And the chocolate brownie stack wedding cake WOW ! Sleeping in our own wedding bell tent, the horse box bar and toilets. And Tessa’s constant support. We just had the best day, really didn’t want it to end. What an amazing day. Thank you all xxx

We are really looking forward to our Wedding Day which is just over 3 weeks away now. We were first recommended Kissing Gate by my sister who is a photographer based in Hampshire because we were looking to have an outdoorsy wedding. She gave me Tessa’s number, and from our first phonecall, we clicked and I just knew we were very like minded people. Sam and I have found the whole planning process much more manageable as we trust Tessa will do a great job. We can’t wait for our big day, and will share photos!

I worked with Tess on a large corporate party for 600 people back in July. The setting of West Hill School was just perfect with loads of space and great facilities. Tess and her team transformed the space with their stretch tents and bars and we bought in all the inflatables, entertainment and activities. Together we created a cool festival environment for the guests and helped by gorgeous weather, the event was a huge success! Tess and her team went above and beyond to ensure guests were happy from producing delicious catering, keeping the bar well stocked and providing excellent service throughout! I'd highly recommend Kissing Gate Events to anyone and look forward to working together again!

Tess organised the most beautiful memorial celebration for my husband's life on the lake. She took all the stress away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and fitting for Sam. My son decided to sell biscuits for charity the day before and Tess ordered extra biscuits and even built him a stand to sell them from which is something he will always remember. We created a cocktail together to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK and Kissing Gate matched the money we made- an incredible gesture. The food was amazing- we had afternoon tea. Thoroughly recommend Kissing Gate Events.

I cannot express enough how amazing Tess and her team were on our wedding day. From start to finish every need and want of ours was catered for. Tess was there for us every step of the way and was always there to give us professional advice from her obvious experience. The team were so attentive and professional, the day went absolutely perfect and we couldn’t of wished for any more than what we had. It’s truly was the most magical day. Our guests had the time of their lives and so did we! The amount of compliments and love kissing gate events got was unbelievable. Our guests were just amazed by the venue and the vibe it had. We can’t Thankyou you guys enough for being so amazing and making precious memories that will last forever.

We would highly recommend Kissing Gate events and would really like to thank Tessa and the team for helping to make our wedding day such an amazing experience - one which we will treasure for the rest of our lives. The setting of Thornton Woods was just perfect for us and our guests; the marquee created an airy open feel which was ideal for both the hot summer day and for our love of the outdoors. The outside space meant the children could play, while the adults had plenty of room to catch up and celebrate. The food was scrumptious too! From the planning stages through to on the day coordination, Tessa was integral in providing ideas and recommendations when needed during the planning stages and ensured on the day that everything went smoothly so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. A truly wonderful day - thanks again - Zoe and Rob x

Kissing Gate Events organised the BEST alternative Prom Event for my daughter and her friends on the beach. They had a luxurious evening with food and drink and a comfortable area with throws, low tables, music and a fire pit where they had delicious food cooked for them. All they had to do was turn up, look glamorous and enjoy their evening. Set in the most gorgeous of locations, everything was perfect.

Went to a wedding fair here yesterday and had such a good time I didn’t want to leave. Not only were the surroundings breathtaking but all the venders were so friendly and helpful. As for the people running the event I again couldn’t fault them, super friendly, helpful, welcoming and pulled off an amazing event with a constant smile on their face. Honestly s
