Feel Like Royalty in East Sussex

Couples hosting a wedding in a stately home or manor are sure to make a statement. In East Sussex, you can expect red-bricked walls, high ceilings, manicured lawns, lavish furnishings, and exemplary service, to name just a few. The venues here are built for aristocrats, where nothing is too outlandish. Take advantage of the venues’ sweeping staircases, bay windows, and grand pianos for stunning a photography shoot you won’t ever forget.

How to Choose the Right One for You

The only problem with stately manors in Essex is having to choose between them. Be sure to book a guided tour with an event planner to get a good sense of each venue before deciding. Bring a list of questions with you so you can weigh up the pros and cons ahead of placing the deposit. Many stately homes in East Sussex offer all-inclusive packages, rental items, day-of coordinators, and on-site accommodations to assist with a low-stress planning experience. Consider other vendors arriving on the day, too; does the venue have ample space for catering, DJs and live band facilities? Decide what’s most important to you before confirming your stately home wedding venue.
