Perfect Venue for our Perfect Day

When we came to view the chapel my husband to be cried the moment he walked in. We knew this had to be our venue and it did not disappoint! It is beautiful inside and out, Dee and her staff were incredible going above and beyond for us in the lead up and on our special day. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the Chapel and our day was perfect! Thank you for making our day amazing.

A simply stunning occasion

As best man for my best friends recent wedding, I cannot attest as heavily to the pre-communication, work and planning in the build up that went on for the perfect wedding that just took place this past weekend at All Saints, that being said however, the very fact I do not have much to say about the pre-comms is clearly testament to how excellently this was managed.

Working in events myself, I'm all too often drafted in to weddings and family events to help where I can, 'polish' where needed, have words where required. This weekend, genuinely is the first time I've felt like 'a spare part at a wedding'! Dariana and her team are absolutely superb, their organisation, their focus, their friendliness and their immaculate eye for detail are just some of the things I noticed throughout the build up and the day itself.

What really struck me also, was how thoughtful the experience was, and the politeness of everybody that was working at the venue during the day. Not with a forced 'I need to be, this is my job' attitude, but a genuine care and attention to make sure it really was the most special day.

A special word really must go out to the last minute change that was organised for catering when the couples original caterers dropped out. I've had my fair share of event catering over the years and very rarely is it anything above 'adequate'. Having worked around the world at some stunning venues, I will be honest and say this was perhaps the best catering I have ever experienced at an event, wedding/corporate/event all in. From quality, to quantity, to service, to variety it really was stunning, and I know that this was echoed across everybody that attended the day.

Dariana and her team have perfected the art of keeping calm, poised and organised, even when there's pressure. Thank you again for everything you all did for Philip and Lauren and the only reason I'd leave it as five stars, is that I can't write 6.

What a magical space!

I had the absolute pleasure of playing the violin for a wedding at All Saints Old Chapel yesterday and I had never been there before. I walked in and my breath was taken away! What a space! Not only was it decorated so beautifully but Dariana and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. The acoustics were gorgeous and I hope I get to go back again! To have a church space which is used as a venue for the whole day - it’s honestly magical! Highly recommend!

Best day ever!

My son and his husband held their evening reception at The Chapel in August and it was the most beautiful day!
Dariana and the whole team made the day so special, we built a relationship with the team in the run up to the wedding and completely trusted them with our family’s precious day. They gave us so much support to make the day just how my son and son-in-law wanted it, and nothing was too much to help us with. Dariana had suggestions and ideas to make it all the more special and helped solve any issues that came up along the way. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She calmed all our nerves on the day and made sure all our guests were happy. The team were all very professional and so warm and friendly that it felt like they were not just staff, but our guests on the day as well. We will be forever grateful to Dariana and the whole team for a day we will remember forever 💕

Wedding Reception

All Saints Chapel, Eastbourne

We had the pleasure of providing the DJ entertainment for a wedding at the beautiful All Saints Chapel in Eastbourne, and what a wonderful venue it was!

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. The chapel has such a lovely atmosphere and provided a beautiful setting for the couple’s special day.

The wedding reception was full of happiness, laughter and dancing, and it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves and celebrating together

Thank you to the team at All Saints Chapel for making us feel so welcome. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such a special occasion, and we would be delighted to return!

Highly recommended as a beautiful wedding venue.

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.

My friends wedding

The whole day was perfect, from the venue all the way to the staff. Dee and her team made the day very special, they were all so helpful and always had smiles on their faces. The wedding itself was lovely, it was beautifully decorated and the garden was perfect for when people wanted fresh air!!
