    The New Mr and Mrs Crowe

    The East Sussex national is a lovely wedding venue, we had our wedding outside in the bird cage which was lovely, lovely photos on and around the grounds. Food you have plenty of options and we enjoyed everything in our once in a lifetime package. Tracey is amazing and so was Rachel ..they will help you with anything. The bridal suite is AMAZING absolutely beautiful and we throughly enjoyed our wedding from start to finish.

    Incredible Wedding Venue

    We recently held our Hindu wedding ceremony and reception at East Sussex National, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The location is absolutely stunning, especially for an outdoor ceremony — the backdrop, birdcage and the seating created the perfect setting for our special day.
    A special thank you to Tracey and Vivek for going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend East Sussex National for anyone planning a wedding — especially if you’re considering an outdoor ceremony. It was everything we hoped for and more!

    Wedding May 2025

    We chose East Sussex National for our wedding after visiting due to the beautiful grounds and affordability for the amount of friends and family we wished to celebrate with.
    The lead up to the wedding was good, we had a few bumps along the way as we found a lack of flexibility in some areas.
    They could be slightly more accommodating during our visits, we were offered fruit juice but were not offered an alcoholic drink on the house which seemed slightly strange with how much we were spending.
    In terms of the wedding day, Rachel the manager was extremely helpful and helped us with whatever we needed!
    We had a wonderful day and enjoyed celebrating with all our loved ones.
    The rooms at ESN have been upgraded and that was a lovely plus, we had a beautiful luxury suite with late check out! This suite was used for the bridal party to get ready in the morning, with ample space it was perfect!
    Thank you to the ESN team!

    An Unforgettable Wedding at East Sussex National – Thanks to Rachel and the Amazing Team!

    We recently had our wedding at East Sussex National, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From start to finish, Rachel was absolutely incredible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, caring nature made the entire day stress-free and enjoyable.

    The venue was stunning, the service impeccable, and everything ran so smoothly on the day thanks to Rachel and the amazing staff. Our guests were blown away by the food, the setting, and the overall atmosphere. We received so many compliments about how well-organized and beautiful everything was.

    We also had several out-of-town guests stay at the hotel, and they all spoke highly of the accommodations and hospitality.

    Rachel and the entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. We’re so thankful to have chosen East Sussex National and would recommend it to any couple looking for a top-tier venue with exceptional service.

    Wedding Day

    We had a fantastic experience from start to finish at the ESN planning our wedding! Tracey was incredibly warm and friendly and really quick to respond to any queries we had in the planning of the wedding. On the day Rachel who looked after us for the day was also fantastic! She organised the running of the day really well, always keeping the bride and groom well informed about what came next and checking on our wellbeing at all points of the day. And also made suggestions about photography and worked tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly. She also had a trainee with her on placement who was great too, checking in on me before the day started to check if I needed anything. Rose petals in the room afterwards with towel art, a complimentary late check out too. Everything was fantastic!
    Only things we might improve would be a little more clarity about booking the rooms under the special code for the wedding as we seemed to miss this. Also assurances that kids would be able to swim at the designated times advertised as this was a big reason to choose ESN as our venue as we had families attending who wanted to use the pool with their kids.
    Otherwise everything was perfect! Thank you for the most special of experiences. It was also very reasonably priced too. Food was very good and the evening buffet was enormous!!

    Small wedding

    During the booking process, which was a couple of months before the date. the communication was very good and nothing seemed too much trouble. Suggestions were made to us that really helped with the planning of our day. As the venue has hosted many weddings, we were grateful for any guidance.
    The day went very well and all the staff were very professional and kind. We would recommend the venue to other couples but, as ours was very small, we can just recommend based on our experience. It was so lovely to have so much help to make the day special, which it was!

    November wedding

    Incredibly professional and reliable. Communication was great, taking us through every detail. On the day our coordinator was incredible, kept everything running smoothly and handled all our requests promptly. As the weather was good we even got to have photos taken out on the golf course.

    October wedding 2024

    We had our wedding at the ESN this October and found it so easy and straight forward to organise thanks to the lovely staff at the hotel!
    We had our whole wedding catered for there and they sorted everything for us even giving us name of decorators near us etc.
    Throughout the day everyone was so helpful and courteous helping solve any issue that could pop up, nothing was too much trouble!

    If I was getting married again I’d definitely go to them again but hopefully won’t need to.
