We had never really considered a winter wedding. We were looking for something summery - think field with hay bails - festival vibes. But we visited East Sussex National as part of a wedding fair that they were hosting and we arranged a full tour, this was around Christmas time and instantly fell in love with the place. Everything just felt right. Tracey and her team were so supportive throughout, responding quickly to any question we had - never making us feel like we were asking a silly question! We had a number of meetings and opportunities to visit beforehand and everything was smooth and put us at ease. On the day itself, we couldn't have asked for more. The team on the day, lead brilliantly by Rachel, couldn't do more - from the waiters, to the bar staff, to the chefs, we couldn't have asked for more. Some beautiful touches in our room after the wedding really made us feel special. Thank you to the whole team who made our special day perfect.

hey, HDV Brighton was a great choice. I work in the industry and I know how difficult those functions are stressful and time planning and consuming. Dewi and his team were challenged with my requests, but nothing was too much trouble. The food was good and tasty, got to be honest, they exceeded my expectations, but it is important to keep it simple. They know what they are doing and got Jenny - my wedding coordinator on my side to liaise so it is easier. The room itself is sterile. no need to explain that you have to decorate it and light it up - it is add cost on your side, but it is worth it. Here the room in video how it looks.... enjoy and you should trust them and go for it. I have done my research due to the fact that I am a caterer myself and those are the best value to money and location / overall experience. other places are pricey and old fashion, too expensive and fancy food, You got to be honest with yourself and keep it simple, traditional and they can do the ceremony too... so why going elsewhere... well done guys at HDV G&E video for demonstration of the room layout - https://youtu.be/0RREcggiH14

We fell in love with this venue when we saw the space they had both Outdoor and Indoor. Being able to have our ceremony outdoor in the magical woodland, and still have an indoor space big enough for a sit-down dinner was perfect for us. The evening was spot-on as well, the fire-pits outside gave it the perfect chilled vibe we were after, and the Oast itself was a great for dancing.

Michelham priory is such a gorgeous spot for a wedding. We wanted something that was both classic and elegant, but also charming and laid back… a tricky balance! Michelham priory was exactly that. Chloe and Bryony at Blue Door were also so responsive from the very start of planning to the day itself. We can’t thank them enough. Flexibility was our only challenge (it’s a listed barn so certain instruments in the band aren’t allowed, and music has to be turned off before 11). We had an incredible day and it ran smoother than we could ever have expected. Thank you Michelham and thank you Chloe and Bryony! X

My husband and I had our wedding at The Bell on the 1st of November, and the entire day was perfect from start to finish. Everything ran so smoothly, and that was entirely thanks to the incredible team—from the early planning stages right up to the final moments of our wedding day. Becky, Jess, and the whole team were fantastic throughout the lead-up. They stayed in regular contact from the moment we booked, checking in, answering my endless questions, and offering constant reassurance. No matter what concern I brought to them, they always had a calm, helpful solution ready. As a very Type-A bride, I had a detailed guide about where everything should go and what I envisioned. They executed it flawlessly. They understood my vision completely and brought it to life even better than I imagined. The day itself was so well organised that I barely noticed the transitions between each part of the wedding. The team supported our guests, kept our wedding party energised and excited, and provided such warm, reassuring smiles throughout the day. Even the bar staff were amazing—on my way to the ceremony, when my nerves kicked in, they were right there to reassure me. I truly can’t thank the entire team enough for their hard work, positivity, and kindness. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Bell to anyone looking for their dream wedding venue. Yes, the setting is beautiful and has a wonderfully homely feel, but it’s the people who make it truly special. They create an environment where you feel safe, supported, and completely at ease—like the best version of yourself. Looking back, there’s not a single thing I would change. The Bell didn’t just host our wedding; they created an experience we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Every moment felt intentional, every detail cared for, and every interaction filled with warmth. To anyone considering this venue: trust the team, trust the process, and you will have the most magical, stress-free day you could ever hope for. We left not only with beautiful memories, but with real gratitude for the people who made them possible. Thank you, truly, for giving us a day that exceeded every expectation and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

After 26 year together we decided to get married. We had arranged to get married at Eastbourne Registry office and have our wedding breakfast at the Powdermill Hotel in Battle. Unfortunately they had to cancel as they had to shut down for refurbishment and recommended Horsted Place Hotel as an alternative venue. Our wedding was to be a small family affair with only 13 guests and Horsted Place managed to accommodate us on our requested date. We cannot fault the service we received, from initial contact, to the day itself. Everything ran very smoothly indeed. The wedding breakfast was fantastic with our guests commenting on how lovely the food was, the presentation, the service and the venue. Everybody enjoyed the day, especially us. Thank you for putting in the effort to making our day very special indeed. We would certainly recommend Horsted Place Hotel as a venue for your wedding. Claire & Steve
