My husband and I were among the first couples to get married at Hidden Acres, and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue! We had 100 guests during the day, with an additional 20 joining us in the evening. On the night before the wedding, 14 of us checked into the Farmhouse. The rooms were spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable! The afternoon before the wedding was spent adding our personal touches to the marquee, followed by an early night. Waking up on the property made everything feel so special. With three master bedrooms, both the groomsmen and bridesmaids could get ready in separate rooms, which made the morning even more relaxed. Sneakily watching our guests arrive from the house was a delightful experience! The ceremony lawn is absolutely stunning—sweeping countryside views and a perfectly flat lawn made for a picturesque setting. The venue provided chairs, a PA system, and a sound engineer, which gave us peace of mind knowing everyone could clearly hear the ceremony. Afterward, the venue brought out lawn games, and our guests had plenty of seating and shade. At 3:45, we were called to the marquee, which was bright, airy, and perfect for our reception. The sides could be rolled up to allow for extra airflow, which was a welcome relief on the warmer afternoon. The venue provided all the tables and chairs. We provided corkage-free drinks from 1-5 pm, and at 5, the venue’s fully stocked bar opened with all the popular drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly, and Sarah ensured everything ran smoothly. It was such a relief knowing all the details were being looked after so we could truly relax and enjoy the day. Sarah’s meticulous planning helped us prepare for every detail in advance. We opted for paella catering, which was fantastic! The day felt magical, and the sunset over the meadow created breathtaking photos that we’ll cherish forever. We partied until 11 pm, when quiet hours began. Then we gathered around the campfire for the rest of the evening, continuing the celebration in a more intimate setting. The venue also provided three bell tents, allowing more of our friends to stay on-site. Additionally, we had free access to the props and styling shed, we choose a range of rugs, pillows, milk churns, and lanterns to add that touch. A massive thank you to Hidden Acres for allowing us to be one of the first couples to marry here! The day was organised with military precision, and it was, without a doubt, the best day of my life.

The Vines was perfect for us, to be able to hire the pub, the accommodation and the paddock. As a dry hire, Cami and Ian allowed the flexibility that we needed to create our day, our way. The couldn’t do enough to help. All our guests loved it and loved the relaxed nature of the day. Many people stayed on the Friday night as well as the Saturday of our wedding. Being able to stay, meant that people could relax and really enjoy the wedding. Beautiful setting and great facilities, many guests said that they would return to stay at The Vines. Thank you to The Vines for helping us to have the best day of our lives and for our guests to state that it was “the best wedding they have ever been to”.

Recently got married at Woodmancote Place. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, everything you could want from an outdoor venue and more. Hannah was absolutely fantastic. Made what could have been a very stressful process seem simple! Easy to speak to and get hold of, always has an answer to any question, no matter how ridiculous! Flexible with seeing the venue and setting up for the day. Hannah was there every step and helped coordinate suppliers which made planning so much easier. We had the most amazing day at Woodmancote Place and wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Peter and Fran made our wedding day truly unforgettable and we feel so blessed to have shared our journey with them. Designed and decorated perfectly, Ripple Court Estate is one of a kind with an exclusivity you won’t find anywhere else. From the moment we saw it, we knew we couldn’t get married anywhere else. What we loved most about this venue was the adventure it offers through the day. Leading our guests through the many pockets of beauty created an adventure for everyone to experience. From the walled rose garden, to the jaw dropping Georgian Manor House and finishing in the stunning walled gardens. Every moment being greeted by wonderfully helpful and friendly staff who consistently ensured we had everything we needed. Ripple Court really is the perfect place to get married. It’s more than just a venue, it’s an experience you will never forget. We will forever treasure the time we shared here alongside two absolutely fabulous hosts. Thank you Peter and Fran for making our wedding day perfect. Lots of love, Jasmine and Elliott xxx

I came in as the event manager and coordinator for my friends; the bride and groom, however not needed as Jenny takes care of every element of your day. She is a joy to work with. The venue is exceptional. The decor is stunning and every detail has been well thoughtout with a lot of love and care. It has many beautiful settings yet still a size that feels intimate and keeps your guests nearby while they enjoy the grounds. The beautiful high-end double marquee and the dance party room with a fully equipt bar means there is more than enough space even in the wet weather. The out door ceremony space is that of a midsummer night's fairytale. All the team at TB, especially Jenny and Oli were so accommodating during the planning, throughout the day and days after so you'll always feel looked after every step of the way. I highly recommend hiring the sound and lighting team if you can. They are real pros, find solutions to meet your needs and will bring your event to the next level. Definitely worth every penny. Every member of the TB team were warm, fun and friendly and gave exceptional service. Trading Boundaries is a true Sussex countryside treasuretrove and you will be so pleased you chose them for your special day. Your guests will certainly have venue envy!

We married at the Wellington Arms in Stratfield Turgis on May 11, 2024. We had our ceremony outside in the rose garden, which looked stunning on the day. Our day was perfect and all our guests had a great time. Jemma and her team did a fantastic job organising everything in the lead up and on the day. The food was delicious and the service was great. Everything was taken care of and was perfect. A big thank you to the team at the Wellington Arms for making our day so special!

Wow! what can I say?! I can't rave about Naldretts enough - we had our dream wedding on the Great Lawn. It was SO special to have a blessing as the sun was setting and to have all our friends and families around us surrounded by your beautiful gardens and woodlands. Seeing the deer grazing in the parkland as we re-said our vows to each other was quite simply one of the best moments of my life. I'll never forget it - thank you so much for providing the wedding setting of dreams xxx

The team made it a breeze start to finish. Simply trust them to do what they know best!

We got married in Las Vegas just us two and came home to have the most amazing party with our family and friends at Oad St. I cannot explain how long we were looking for a venue that had all the beauty of a wedding venue but was flexible to hold just a reception. But when we found Oad St we knew we had found the perfect venue. The whole planning journey was great, Summer was always thinking what we were thinking and often answered our questions before we even asked. The venue is absolutely stunning and the layout was perfect, no one felt excluded from the party even if they wanted to sit down. Oad St went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect evening and the party exceeded our expectations. We had asked for specific drinks to be available on the night and there were no problems with that at all, the bar was fully staffed and the girls were all so lovely, no one was waiting around for drinks. All of the food was ready and laid out beautifully for when guests arrived and everybody loved it! Not your typical party food, much more sophisticated but still perfect finger food. Our guests kept telling us on the night and the days afterwards that they had the best time, how stunning the venue was and how much they loved the food! We couldn't of asked for anything more, and it was the perfect way for us to be able to celebrate our marriage with our loved ones. We cannot recommend Oad St enough! Mr & Mrs Eldridge
