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

Trading boundaries could not be a more perfect wedding venue! We cannot praise the whole team enough, with a particularly big thanks to Oli, Jenny and Cara. We chose the venue two years before our wedding, and from start to finish, Oli and Jenny went above and beyond. Through their exceptional care and expertise, they made the journey feel special every step of the way. They could not have been more accommodating, with their meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the day was tailored to perfection. Their excellent communication always made us feel looked after and confident that our day would be everything we dreamed of. We loved the atmosphere and diversity of the venue. It felt exotic with its beautiful Indian marquees and décor, while still embracing the charm of the English countryside with its lawns, decking and courtyard. On the day of the wedding, Jenny gracefully coordinated everything to ensure a seamless experience. Despite the typical English weather threatening our outdoor ceremony under the stunning trellis, she pulled out all the stops to make it happen, and we could not be more grateful. The layout of the venue worked perfectly for us, offering the use of the entire space while maintaining an intimate feel with our guests. The bar’s proximity to the dance floor created a fantastic vibe, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the special cocktails that Oli thoughtfully organised. I highly recommend booking the rooms surrounding the courtyard, which are absolutely exquisite and beautifully presented by Cara. Having the chance to enjoy a lovely breakfast with friends and family the following morning was a magical way to conclude our celebrations. The staff were absolutely incredible and the entire team brought such a friendly and relaxed vibe to the day! We can’t thank everyone enough for going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Our deepest thanks for making our wedding day even better than we could have imagined and exceeding all our expectations.

What can I say about this venue. Oh my god this venue was everything I wanted, needed and more. We first visited Devils Dyke Farm in 2024, two and half years before we actually got married and fell head over heels for it. Just walking into this venue was perfect. The views, even in February, were stunning. I don’t think you will find any other venue with stunning views like this in Brighton or Sussex. The grounds are amazingly well maintained, with lush green plants and colourful flowers all around. One of the more unique parts of this venue is the fact that it has part of a disused railway in the gardens. A piece of track still remains and it’s such a beautiful touch to an already stunning venue. All our guests when they first arrived literally had their breath taken away at the sight of the view and the first thing they were doing was going to take pictures. And that was just the outside. The inside is a very beautifully decorated marquee with clear panelling across the side so you still have access to the beautiful views. If the weather allows, these screens can be lifted and the photos we got from here were brilliant. The venue has an amazing sound system which can localise sound to just the dance floor so those who are unsure about loud noises can still be inside the venue without getting stressed by the noise and still be a part of the day. There are also disco lights and a huge disco ball which again adds to the party vibe. The bathrooms are very nicely decorated and they have disability and changing facilities which again really helped all our guests feel comfortable on the day. Beautiful surroundings and amazingly decorated. The venue is of course stunning but what really makes this venue are the owners Lindsay and Mike. Our wedding would not have been a success without them. We regularly visited the venue for open evenings and days with family and friends who wanted to see the venue in the lead up to our big day and every time Mike and Lindsay remembered who we were, they remembered my dad which was such a small detail but made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. Any questions we had they answered them. Anytime we had a crazy idea like getting a mechanical rodeo bull in for our guests, they made it work. They had the professionalism of a big business but the compassion and hospitality of a small family business. Where wedding venues nowadays act like cold, manufacturing, machines at times, they add a much needed warmth to this industry. You can tell they have put everything into this venue and that again makes this place so special. They also have bought in an amazing wedding day coordinating Grace, who matches their energy and enthusiasm about this venue and provides an excellent experience. She checked on us throughout the day making sure we were happy with everything and coordinated our vendors politely and with respect for their work. I am so thankful they bought in Grace as she greatly added to the day and made everything so special. We will really miss emailing Grace, Mike, and Lindsay about changes to our plan and updates about the day as even when we were telling them issues we were having with getting certain licenses, they were still warm and ready to help. Big shout out to Mike as well who set up a TV for my dad’s speech! We could not recommend this venue enough, every detail was perfect. All our guests said this was the best venue they had ever been to for a wedding and a few people asked if they could steal it for their weddings. I want all my friends/ family to have their wedding here just so I can go back and experience this beautiful place again. Please please book this venue I promise you will not regret it. Thank you to all the Devils Dyke Farm team for your amazing work and dedication. We miss you and you’ll see us at open evenings again!

"Just the most beautiful Jacobean Manor House with idyllic manicured gardens that go on and on! We were lucky enough to have an small wedding (50/70) in the main building last May, just renovated with a new room to enjoy, we had stunning weather to fully enjoy the gardens and have canapés and pimms in the rear secret gardens. The wedding coordinator Astrid is very helpful and very organised, you will be in safe hands. It’s a dry hire venue with a choose of caterers, we used Souperfood from Tunbridge wells and honestly it was the best food any of our guests had ever had at a wedding before. Just stunning place!!"

Crockstead fields is set in a beautiful rural location, on a large site with ample space for lots of guests. They also provide a large field for guests to camp on-site, and the whole day from ceremony to afterparty happens in the same location. The team at Crockstead were always accommodating of our ideas and encouraged us to do it our way; they helped us organise our day in the months preceding and ran through the details with us on consultation calls. Our wedding was very music-focused, and the team were able to provide a stage for our band, had their own PA, and found us a supplier for silent disco equipment which allowed us to party into the wee hours. The bar was well-stocked and fairly priced. Overall we had the most incredible weekend with our guests, which was largely down to the magic of the site.
