Lewes Castle Wedding!

We can't thank Bryony and Chloe enough for their hard work in planning our spontaneous wedding! It all came together like a dream and the day was more than perfect despite only a five week lead up!

Chloe, you have our enormous gratitude and admiration for the enormous amount of hard work you put in on the day- you were up and down those castle steps so many times with everything from cheese to outfit changes! You were such a well organised and calming presence and we can't imagine the day without your fantastic professionalism and attention to every last detail. We gasped when we walked through the castle entrance as you had literally made our vision come true and created a colourful fairytale! All our guests were blown away by the beauty and magicality of the castle and that was totally down to you! The weather being on our side was a huge bonus and we were so grateful that you managed to make us feel so assured in the lead up that even if the weather was bad we would still have a wonderful day. You left no detail to chance and that really shone through. Thank you also to Rosanna for her great help. Basically we could not have dreamt up a happier, sunnier or more beautifully planned day and it will shine in our memories forever.

Bryony thank you for agreeing to take us on and for all of your advice and help in the run up, it was invaluable. Your experience and knowledge is amazing. We would highly recommend Bluedoor Weddings without a single reservation.

Many many thanks!
Charlotte and Paddy

The best day!

We got married at Firle in April 2024 and from the day we booked the venue, we knew we were in safe hands with Bryony! Bryony is hugely knowledgeable and was on hand for any and all questions in the run up to the day. Blue Door Weddings have a great list of recommended suppliers which makes the planning less daunting! We also booked Bryony for on the day management which we were so grateful for. It meant we could truly relax and enjoy every bit of the day.

Bryony and Chloe were such a joy to work with in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. They were always available for quick questions when we were in planning mode and they know Firle inside out. I’d book them again in a heartbeat x

Our day ran so smoothly thanks to Blue Door!

When we booked a DIY venue we didn't quite realise how much work went into running the day, and that's where Blue Door came to the rescue. We booked them for the on the day management package and then after a think and a chat over email, also agreed to hire two day staff through them to supplement Chloe (our day manager) on the day. We couldn't have asked for a better day - Chloe and her team were amazing, attentive without being pushy, did everything so seamlessly we didn't even notice (they moved 80 chairs from the ceremony to reception and no one even noticed them doing it really!). They worked so hard and we are so grateful as we didn't have to worry about a thing, they took care of everything from timings to rearranging floral decor to clearing a space for the dance floor. I've attached a photo of Chloe walking me to the ceremony, she was a lovely calm yet excited presence in the morning. Blue Door also sorted lots behind the scenes for us such as when the bar was coming to set up, and being able to share some of the admin load in the weeks before was such a blessing as I was feeling a bit burnt out at that point! So pleased with the service we received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thanks again Chloe, Bryony and the staff x

Bryony’s knowledge and experience is invaluable

We just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you so much for all your help in making our wedding day so special! Your experience and intricate knowledge of the venue was utterly invaluable and we will be forever grateful for your guidance. We hope you will share our fond memories of the day.

We learnt one lesson which we will pass on to all of our newly engaged friends: Open bar = yes. Shots = no!!!!

Couldn't have done it without you

We had the most perfect day and wouldn't have changed a thing. As well as helping us plan the wedding, Bryony made our dream come true with having our dog there on our special day.
Bryony and Chloe were amazing, they were so attentive and helped with every aspect. Even when I asked if we could have espresso martinis very last minute, Bryony made it happen and everyone loved this!
Blue door Weddings know this industry so well and it was so nice to relax knowing this and it all went perfectly. Thank you so much!

Fantastic service and great wedding investment!

We got married at Firle Place in June 2024 and were lucky to have on the day management from Bryony and Chloe. From the moment Bryony showed us around Firle it was obvious she has a wealth of experience and offers really sound advice in the whole wedding planning journey. Bryony provided us with a list of great suppliers (who we didn't have to choose but we did as they were all really good quality). In the lead up to the wedding Bryony answered all of our questions promptly and would always come up with a good solution if we weren't sure on something.

In the lead up to the wedding there were lots of ifs and buts due to potential rain, with a last minute change of plan to move the reception inside - this was dealt with really well by the team and made us feel a lot more comfortable. It meant so much to be able to relax on the day knowing that Chloe and Bryony had everything in-hand.

Highly recommend the Blue Door team - you won't regret it!

5 stars! Highly recommend

We hired Blue Door Weddings for partial wedding planning leading up to our wedding day at Montague Farm, and also for on the day management. We had meetings with Bryony some weekday evenings, she was really flexible around our work schedules.

Bryony and the team were great - they really know what they are doing! Bryony took a lot of the stress out of the wedding planning process. Having the team on our wedding day was so valuable - Bryony did a great job at coordinating the day and making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. We had some special requests (arriving in a horse and carriage, and bringing our dogs) which Bryony and the venue were so flexible and helpful with.

Fantastic!

Bryony did the on the day management for our Easter weekend wedding and she really went above and beyond for us. She was so helpful with any questions we had in the lead up and she made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day so we didn’t need to worry about a thing! She’s super knowledgeable and knows some really amazing suppliers too. Would definitely recommend! 😊

An excellent experience!

The team at Blue Door were wonderful from our initial venue viewings all the way through to our on-the-day management and even post-event. If you're thinking of getting married in Sussex or in the South, we'd highly recommend choosing Blue Door Weddings to help plan and manage your big day!

The Stress Reliever!

Bryony was straight to the point and so helpful throughout. She took the time to have calls and a physical walkthrough before the day so we knew what else was needed and she knew where everything was.

Bryony knew the venue so well and gave some really helpful tips while still listening to how we were looking to celebrate our day.

My god, did it pay off! The day was seamless and her staff were superb throughout. The tables and chairs were all moved swiftly and I didn't see any empty glasses, cans or rubbish around. At the end of the evening, everything was packed away neatly so it was easy for us to deal with the next day.

A massive help and I couldn't recommend them enough. Really took the stress away so we could just enjoy and celebrate our day. Thank you!!!

A seamless day thanks to Blue Door Weddings

We got married at Firle Place in October 2023. From the day we booked our date Bryony and Chloe were super helpful with all the questions and queries we had. We also hired Blue Door Weddings for on the day event management and Bryony was a dream. I enjoyed our wedding day seamlessly and I felt so chilled and had full trust in Bryony and the team as they ran the day so smoothly. We highly recommend Blue Door Wedding in every capacity 🥰

Perfection!

We would like to thank Bryony and Chloe for helping us have the most perfect wedding day. From the first time we visited Firle Place (through Blue Door Weddings) we knew it was the most idyllic venue for our wedding, despite the Georgian Riding School being under construction and it being the only venue we had visited.

Every time we visited the venue, Bryony was so incredibly informative and helpful in offering advice to create our dream wedding.

The Georgian Riding School, Firle Place grounds and St Peter’s Church are simply stunning. They have character but feel new, fresh, spacious and light, providing the perfect canvas for any wedding. Bryony was so easy to communicate with through our wedding planning process and offered advice in the lead up to our big day. On the day she was there to support with suppliers and help our day run so smoothly and nothing felt like it was too much.

We had a traditional church wedding with simple white and green flowers and foliage which complimented the venue perfectly. In the evening we had an Afro-fusion party which worked perfectly at Firle Place. We are so greatful to have had such a perfect venue for our perfect wedding day and are very thankful to Bryony and Chloe for all of their management and support throughout. Thank you. Love Zoe and Whegba xx
