All Saints, The Old Chapel an amazing venue

We can’t recommend this venue enough if you want a spectacular experience, wonderful ambience steeped in history to such attentive staff and Dee, our wonderful event manager.
We didn’t have to worry about a thing as Dee had everything under control to the finite detail.

We thoroughly recommend this spectacular venue for those seeking luxury yet clockwork simplicity!
Thank you Dee and her team.

Beautiful wedding and magical evening!

I recently attended a wedding at this venue, and it was absolutely stunning! They are known for their incredible candlelight concerts, and it truly added a magical atmosphere to the evening. The decor was gorgeous, every detail was flawless, and everything ran so smoothly. Dariana was amazing, so professional and warm. This venue is absolutely a place I’d come back to! A perfect 5 star experience from start to finish!

Does that feel better?

A Dream Wedding at the Most Stunning Venue



Our wedding day was truly the most perfect day, made even more unforgettable by the breathtaking beauty of All Saints Chapel. The venue completely exceeded our expectations and delivered that undeniable wow factor we had hoped for.

A special thank you goes to Darianna, who was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life with flawless execution. Her professionalism, warmth, and expertise ensured that every detail was taken care of, and the entire day flowed seamlessly. Nothing was ever too much trouble—she handled everything with calm and care.

The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests. The staff were courteous, attentive, and clearly well-trained, contributing to the smooth running of the entire event.

Even the transitions between rooms were managed effortlessly, creating a natural flow that kept the energy of the day just right.

We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will forever be grateful for the role All Saints Chapel played in making our wedding day so magical

Mr & Mrs Paton

We would like to start off with how beautiful and stunning this chapel is this was the first venue we saw and straight away fell in love with it, a lot of our guests commented on that they didn't know this place was in Eastbourne and said it takes your breathe away as soon as you walk in.

At first communication was brilliant towards our wedding but as time drew in closer to our wedding date the communication wasn't so good, which we felt was disheartening, we asked a lot of questions as we did not know a thing about weddings and some responses we got were 'wedding season has started I'm very busy il get back to you' which wasn't nice, or no reply to a few messages.

The day before our wedding day which we had the set up and rehearsal baring in mind we only found out few days before that dariana was away until the day before set up, but yet we walked in for our set up/ rehearsal and there was stuff everywhere we ended up having to move tables and decor before we could even set up for our own wedding, which I must say was upsetting as we had thought we'd walk in set up do the rehearsal and then it's done but that wasn't the case it was very stressful.

However all of that being said our wedding day was just perfect! Dariana pulled it out the bag on the day as we put our heart and soul into every detail of hand made decor, she made sure the little things we did were scattered around so a part of our hard work was everywhere which was a beautiful touch, she was running around taking care of everything and everyone she did an amazing job on the day, the food which we had the grazing table with some finger buffet people loved it! It was amazing rens kitchen did a fab job! Dispite a few hiccups of butter portions not coming out until someone asked for them or our vol au vents which we brought in morning of didn't come out until we asked where they were, there wasn't any non alcoholic drink which we believe we asked for, but didn't realize until day after that there wasn't any but these hiccups are minor and did not ruin our day whatsoever.

All we would say is that dariana does a fab job but we did feel within our experience of our wedding she needs some help from other colleagues as we only saw her on her own all the way up to our wedding and in communications, so then not everything is on her as running that chapel must be extremely stressful, we don't mean that disrespectfully as we all know in our jobs that it takes a team to run things smoothly and we felt if she had that extra pair of hands it would be so helpful.

Our wedding day is a day to remember full of laughter, memories, tears and was everything we had dreamt of, so thank you to dariana & the team she had on the day with her, rens kitchen for the wonderful food!

Fantastic venue

“All Saints the old chapel was an outstanding choice for my friend’s wedding. There was only 14 weeks to put together the most fantastic day. Dariana and her team were exceptional, consistently demonstrating professionalism and promptness throughout the entire process. There were a lot of ongoing alterations as it was a large wedding. Communication was effortless, and Dariana worked with us every step of the way, from the booking and planning stages, to on the day requirements. Their dedication and support made the wedding day truly special. All Saints and its grounds created the perfect atmosphere for my friend’s celebration.”
