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

Thank you Tessa and the Kissing Gate team for helping MEDSOC southampton to deliver another amazing Spring ball! We have worked with Tessa for many years now and she has always been very helpful and fantastic at her job. She will tailor the event to your needs and will go above and beyond to make it extra special. We are looking forward to working with Tessa and the Kissing Gate events team again next year!!

We approached Tessa to help plan our Yr 6 Leavers party. With a restricted budget Tessa not only planned every detail of the event but offered us a very reasonable rate, as was able to slot us in between larger events, providing the children with a sophisticated, yet age appropriate night of fun under the pole tent. Food and drinks were included as well as lawn activities and a very loud sound system! The grounds at West Hill Park provided the perfect space for 70+ exuberant 11 year olds, who we

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Kissing Gate Events in a styled Wedding photoshoot. I had the fun task of styling both the Bride and grooms hair ready for the event. All in all it was such a wonderful day. Tessa did a fabulous job in organising everything and bringing everybody within the industry together. It all looked so incredibly beautiful and was so much fun. It was a great experience, I highly recommend Kissing Gate and would definitely love to do it again! 🤍

I have seen several Kissing Gate events now from the perspective of a hired musician, from corporate functions to weddings, and they are always top tier. The presentation is immaculate, everything seems flawlessly arranged and they're always styled absolutely beautifully. The staff are incredibly polite and helpful and ensure everything runs smoothly. There really is nothing to mark down. A solid 5 star experience each time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a florist and event decorator I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Tessa and her team for a number of years now. We have a great working relationship and it is alway fantastic working with KG. They are definitely a high end event company and have a relaxed approach and the CAN DO attitude. My only regret is I didnt know about them for my own wedding ! Looking forward to many many more events together.😊

Our Christmas event was superb and so amazingly arranged. Tessa and her team put so much effort into putting the evening together and made everyone feel so welcome. From the location, to the food to the entertainment and overall experience, it was by far our best work event to date. For anyone considering Kissing Gate Events, I would 100% recommend and I hope we have something in our future where I can use them again

A rewarding and enjoyable experience. The Kissing Gate team listened to our wishes and thoughts, working with us to create a beautiful wedding from start to finish. Their care both in presentation and in food was faultless. We cannot recommend Kissing Gate Events enough. Thank you. Mr and Mrs Sharp.

Tessa and her team at Kissing Gate were absolutely amazing. We had the best day, attending my sisters wedding. Spending time at the venue the day before, setting up our tables and decorations was easy and fun, with Tessa on hand to offer her expert eye. On the big day, everything ran so smoothly, without a hiccup! The staff were amazing and very friendly. The food was fantastic. Tessa was always present, but without necessarily being seen - she made sure that everyone had everything they need

we wanted to book our wedding with Kissing Gate as soon as we saw them. we had our day at West Hill Park school the perfect venue for what we wanted, so many beautiful old buildings as well as the field for the outdoors marquee wedding we wanted. It was such a relaxed and fun day, the team were great throughout the set up and on the day. we could decorate exactly how we wanted and the team had so many good ideas from their years of expertise. The catering was great we loved our food it was so we
