Couples in the Shire county have infinite choices when choosing their wedding venue thanks to the county’s number of beautiful towns.

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.

5.0 out of 5 rating

We can not praise this venue highly enough!! Obviously the venue in itself is absolutely stunning and for us was a truly wonderful venue and setting to hold our special day. However, the staff are also want makes this venue exceptional. Even from the start, meeting James who took his time to show us around and advised us that they could be as flexible on meals/seating as needed, was a refreshing change from some of the other places we visited. Afterwards we just dealt with Aaron who simply is an absolute star and a real pleasure to deal with! Aaron and his staff on the day were also remarkable and every single one of our guests commented on how professional, efficient and engaging they were. Everything about this venue and staff are amazing – we would recommend them to everyone wanting a memorable and faultless wedding day!!

We chose Pelham House for our wedding because of all the places we looked at it had the best facilities. There was room for all our guests to stay, the ballroom could seat 130 in comfort, and the gardens looked perfect for the photographs. In the event Pelham House completely surpassed all our expectations, and that was down to the staff. They were so helpful, so thoughtful, so considerate they really made our day. Everyone said it was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to - everything perfectly organised. I know we will never forget it - and we loved the bridal suite - so luxurious we hardly wanted to leave for our honeymoon in the Caribbean. I'm sure there are lots of other places to get married that are fine, but if you want the perfect day I'd recommend Pelham House every time.
