    Amazing Wedding Fabulous Venue

    From start to finish the staff at Cottesmore were engaged with us ensuring every query & question was answered, nothing was too much trouble always at the end of the line & prompt email response. Cottesmore is a beautiful venue & we were overwhelmed on our day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding we thoroughly recommend this beautiful venue 😍

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Laurendah and Ian,
    We are so delighted to hear that your day was perfect, we can't hope for more than that for our couples.
    It was a absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day, both with helping you with your planning and having the privilege of being here on the day.
    You made our venue look so lovely, your flowers were especially beautiful and really were a feature of your day.
    It was a great addition to have a singer here, it always adds a little extra to have live musicians.
    Thank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review, it is always so nice to hear that our couples have had ana amazing day.
    We wish you a long a happy marriage and hope to see you next time you are at Cottesmore.

    Fantastic Venue

    I can highly recommend Cottesmore to anyone looking to get married. The reason I loved Cottesmore the most is how well everything flows. No getting kicked out of a room whilst it’s being set up for the next bit, they have a room for everything. Another huge plus is that the bar is in the same room as the dance floor (as they simply open up the doors to reveal the dancefloor for the evening) The staff are fabulous. I mean literally every member of staff at our wedding (& even the wedding tasting night too) were efficient, kind & super helpful. Jackie & Julie the event organisers are great. They are really knowledgeable, helpful & accommodating. They also always respond within very short timeframes. The biggest shoutout has to go to Kerry in reception. She is just awesome. The. venue has 27 bedrooms which is again another great feature allowing so many of your guests to be able to stay on site. She made organising accommodation for the wedding night so straightforward (when I can assure you it’s really not that easy to organise when you have to move rooms around etc to suit everyone)
    Now for the food… we received so many compliments about the food! The food was delicious! Multiple times we were told it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We truly had the best day. A huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the whole team at Cottesmore.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Lori and Nick

    Wow—thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and detailed review of your wedding day. It honestly sounds like the day couldn’t have been more perfect! I loved reading about how smoothly everything flowed for yourselves and your guests and how the Cottesmore layout worked so well for you. It’s those little details that make such a big difference.

    It’s especially lovely to hear how amazing the staff were. Kerry does a fantastic job with the hotel bookings and we genuinely all care about making every couple’s day special. I am delighted you found it reassuring to have such a supportive and responsive team by your side throughout the planning process.

    And the food! Hearing that so many guests said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had is such high praise—what a wonderful memory to have.

    Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. It’s clear how much love and joy went into your day, and your words will mean a lot to anyone considering Cottesmore for their own celebration.
    Please come back and visit us again but for now best wishes from all of the Cottesmore team.
    Warmest regards Jackie, Julie and Kerry, Alyssa, Luke and the chefs.

    Our wedding day

    My husband and I (feels strange saying that now) had the most amazing wedding at Cottesmore, we had ours in May 2025 and not only did we have the most amazing day, the weather was on our side and had the first ceremony of the year outside! It was absolutely beautiful. The organisation through the start to finish was absolutely brilliant and our coordinator Julie made sure all our needs were met. The grounds are scenic for amazing photos. Nothing could be faulted. We highly recommend at least viewing cottesmore before you make any other choices.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Amy and Brian
    Thank you so much for such a heart felt review. As you say, our first outdoor lawn wedding of the year and I am so pleased it all went to plan. We have been so lucky with this years spring weather but you just never know on the day.
    It looks like you will have some stunning photos to capture your special day for years to come.
    I am delighted to hear that Julie was a real support to you, not only in the run up to your wedding at the planning stage but on the day too. Thank you so much for highlighting this.
    From all of us at Cottesmore we wish you a very happy marriage and future together as a family.
    Warmest regards

    The best day of our lives!

    I couldn’t recommend the Cottesmore more for an all day wedding venue. We had our ceremony and reception here and the day ran so smoothly with so many staff members there to help at all times.

    I believe the value for money is amazing for how much food and alcohol our 93 guests got during the day. Constant smiles all day and no one was dissapointed.

    Jackie and Julie in the events team were extremely responsive and helpful whenever we needed any help or to answer any of my many questions leading up to the day!

    Luke, the bar manager, was amazing and even set out tables up the night before so our wedding morning was stress free.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Emily and Callum,
    We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had an amazing wedding day with us here at Cottesmore and that everything ran smoothly for you. It is also great to hear that you felt our venue offered good value for money and that your guests enjoyed your day. You certainly made the Barn Room look stunning with your fresh flowers along the aisle and the bagpipes to welcome your guests were a lovely touch. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we are always so pleased to hear that our couples had the day they had hoped for. It was a privilege to have been part of your big day and we wish you a long and happy life together.
    Kind regards

    Superb from start to finish!

    What a great venue , from the initial call to the actual day! Complete professionalism from Jackie and Julie , nothing was an issue and plans were made without any problems. we were invited for a lovely tasting evening so we could decide on food and drink , any special requests were dealt with and any allergies catered for . Kerry in reservations dealt with all room bookings and looked after our guests .
    On the day everyone remaked how lovely the food was , timings were spot on and the evening flowed with no issues at all. Rooms are beautiful and the breakfast is superb!
    We would recommend this venue to any couple .

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hello Andy and Sian
    It has been our absolute pleasure to help you with some of the planning and to be on your wedding journey with you.
    You had thought of everything and it was so lovely to see it all come together on the day. It works so well when a wedding party take up most of the hotel rooms. You can all get together at breakfast the next day to smile and share those special moments of the day you all had.
    We are so pleased that it was a 'magical day' as you mentioned and that all of guests celebrated with you in style.
    Until we see you again, we wish you many years of happy times together.
    Warm regards Jackie, Julie, Kerry and all of us here at Cottesmore.

    April wedding

    We had the absolute best experience holding our wedding at Cottesmore! From the very start, the Events team were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their communication in the lead-up to the wedding was fantastic. Every question was answered promptly, and we felt completely supported every step of the way.
    On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. We even had guests tell us how relaxed the day felt with no time pressures. The coordination was flawless, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing which is exactly what you want on your wedding day! A huge thank you to the Food & Beverage team as well for our menu tasting and on the big day. The food was delicious, and several guests told us it was the best meal they’d ever had at a wedding.
    A special mention from the bride too to the Beauty Therapists for her bridal party’s treatments. It was just what everyone needed as a pre-wedding destress.
    There was an issues when it came to guests booking their hotel rooms, but the Events team handled it well. Everything was sorted out eventually, but it was helpful that we didn’t leave far from the venue so could pop down instead of sorting logistics over the phone.
    We’re so grateful to everyone at Cottesmore for helping to make our wedding day so special. We’d wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful location, a dedicated team, and a truly unforgettable experience.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Ceri and Jack

    We are over the moon to hear that you had the best of days and thank you so much for taking to time to let us know of your experience.
    There is so much to plan and think of before your wedding, we just try to make things as easy as possible for our couples. I am so pleased that you felt you could relax and enjoy your day, with everything taken care of by our team.
    We have a very skilled team of chefs who love preparing the perfect wedding breakfast and take pride in what they do. You picked a delicious menu for your guests to enjoy and that memory will stay with them along with all the other special moments of your day.
    Our beauty salon is such an oasis of calm isn't it and the perfect place to relax and get pampered with your Bridal party the day before. I hope you had a lovely chill out in the pool and hot tub too.

    It is always the personal touches that stay in our minds and I thought the video reel you made for our TV screen was a lovely touch and brings your story to life as a couple with the images of you both across the years. You really did think of everything.
    We hope that Cottesmore will become your happy place for many years to come.
    Best wishes for a healthy and happy future together and don't forget you are always welcome back anytime.
    Warm regards Jackie and Julie and all of us at Cottesmore.

    A gorgeous winter wedding!

    Julie and Jackie and the entire Events team at Cottesmore were brilliant. From the initial planning stages, they were responsive and supportive of all our wishes and gave us plenty of helpful suggestions, which took all the stress out of the planning such a big important event.

    On the wedding day, Julie was so efficient at making sure everything was perfect and did everything to ensure our day was everything that we could could’ve hoped for!

    We opted to have a winter wedding, but this was not a problem as the event space was very able to accommodate our guests inside as it was a very cold day. Despite this, we did still get to use the gorgeous Courtyard for our photos, as needed.

    The catering staff on the day were very professional and made our guests feel so at ease and catered to all our dietary needs.

    The food and drink provided was outstanding and we feel that this venue was very good value for money.

    Highly recommend Cottesmore as a wonderful wedding venue!

    Hi Sarah and Dan,
    Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are absolutely delighted that you had such an amazing day. It is always so nice to hear that you felt that you were helped with your planning, we do try to make it as stress free as we can!
    A winter wedding is always very special and I am so pleased that you had your photos in the courtyard, I loved your fur jacket, a great idea for January.
    We would love to see some photos, I am sure they will be stunning.
    Thank you again for choosing Cottesmore as your wedding venue, it was such a pleasure to be part of your wedding day and we wish you a long and happy life together.
    All our best wishes

    Excellent Venue and Professional Staff!

    Cottesmore was simply the dream choice for our wedding reception for many reasons: its beauty and dreamy, lush outdoor greens and lake, the professionalism and flexibility of the events team, their comprehensive wedding package and catering and finally its surprising affordability in comparison to all the other venues in Sussex which we explored!!

    As a bride who had an eye for detail; wanting a beautiful venue, great food and ample space for our guests to have privacy and yet enjoy a good party: I will certainly recommend Cottesmore!! The accommodation, recreational and spa facilities available were an added bonus and hugely complimented by our out of town guests.

    Also the value of a supportive events team can never be overemphasised!! Jackie and Julie were exceptionally great at anticipating and meeting our needs! Nothing was too much for them! There were No hidden costs or terms and conditions set to catch the couple out!! (Something very common with other wedding venues!!). The couples needs were at the fore of every support provided!

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hello Ify and Fede,
    Thank you so much for your amazing review. We couldn't be happier that you had the wedding day that you dreamt of and are absolutely delighted that you felt that Cottesmore offered you good value and clear pricing along with being a beautiful venue for your wedding day. It is always great to hear that you felt that our stunning grounds added to your enjoyment, you certainly made the venue look beautiful, your choice of colours was so lovely for an October wedding, your styling was so well thought out. We must say that you and your guest also looked stunning and your change of dress in the evening was very special.
    It was our absolute privilege to have been part of your planning, you are such a lovely couple, and to see it all come together so wonderfully on the day was just lovely. The addition of our onsite accommodation is indeed a great asset and we are so pleased that your guests enjoyed their stay with us. We wish you a long and happy life together and do come and see us next time you are at Cottesmore.
    Kindest regards

    Julie and Jackie

    Amazing Wedding Day

    We loved having our wedding here! The events coordinators are fantastic and all of the team here are lovely and thoughtful which really made our day special. This beautiful venue has a relaxed and characterful ambience. You can choose to get married inside or outside, we chose inside and it was an outstanding venue. We loved riding on a buggy to the lake for private photos. The food was fantastic with amazing feedback from our guests. We love the courtyard for private pre and post wedding drinks where there are also the hotel rooms for the guests. Overall, we can't recommend this venue enough and hope many more couples enjoy their wedding here.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Dear Miles and Michael
    It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know you both over the last 2 years during the planning of your special day.
    We loved your colour scheme which was perfect for early Autumn and to see you both walk down the aisle was quite a moment.
    The golf buggy to the lake is such a fun thing to do and it gives you that breather after your drinks reception before you return for your wedding breakfast. We can't wait to see the photos!
    We are delighted to hear that you had a fantastic day with your family and friends and we look forward to seeing you around the club making the most of your Country Club membership.
    We wish you many years of happiness together,
    Warm regards Jackie, Julie, Helen and the whole team.

    Fantastic wedding venue!!!

    Cottesmore is a fantastic venue, which allowed us to have the perfect wedding. We had 150 guests with many of them staying on site, which was important for us. The venue has 25 rooms (B&B) and 7 self-cateted lodges. Our guests (and us) were very happy with the cleaniness and quality of the accommodation. The room itself remained spacious with 150 guests with ample room for more people. The event room is a great asset to Cottesmore, having the bar, tables and dancefloor in one room means, less splitting up of guests in the day for maximum interaction between everyone. The bar is well stocked with reasonable prices. Prior to the day, the events team helped us plan the details and bring the day to life. This included help with arranging the accommodation, food/meal choices, an area for the coaches to park which took our guests to the church and back, courtyard drinks, etc. The flexibility of the venue meant we could have confetti cannons in the courtyard and shot as a 'sip and sit' as guests took their seats. The food and beverage team were incredibly helpful on the day and ensured that all welcome drinks were ready for our guests, shots for the sip and sit, wine, water and toasts for the speeches and wedding breakfast. They were on hand all evening to ensure quick service at the bar too. Overall, we honestly couldn't have asked for more from Cottesmore as a venue, plus it's hard working staff. I would highly recommend having your special day at Cottesmore.

    Cottesmore Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Hi Harry and Natalie
    Thank you for such lovely comments and we are thrilled to hear that Cottesmore was just perfect for all you had planned for your wedding day. With your guest numbers, the lodges do really give you that additional accommodation to go alongside the hotel rooms.
    I have great memories of meeting the coaches on arrival and seeing all of your guests making their way to the courtyard for the drinks reception. I think they enjoyed your onboard cocktails!
    We loved your black and white theme, which was stunning with the Tuxedos and Bridesmaids dresses. The Fresh white flowers with green foliage in the Challis made for a beautiful reception room.
    You both put a lot of thought and planning into your big day and you should both be very proud of yourselves.
    We do hope to see you here again in the future and it was a pleasure to see if all come together.
    Warm regards Jackie and Julie
