We had the most incredible wedding day at East Sussex National, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for such a special occasion.
From the moment we arrived, everything was beautifully organised and the whole team made us feel so welcome and looked after. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and plenty of gorgeous spaces for photographs, giving us so many wonderful memories to treasure.
A very special mention has to go to Rachel, who was absolutely magnificent from start to finish. The amount of organising, coordination and direction she managed throughout the day was incredible, and yet she never lost her personality or warmth. Despite everything she had to juggle, Rachel was still able to have a laugh and a joke with us and our guests, making everyone feel completely at ease. She struck the perfect balance between being incredibly professional and organised while still being friendly, fun and genuinely herself. She really did go above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything she did to make our day so special.East Sussex National's reply:

We had the most perfect day. Tracey worked so hard to meet our requirements during the months before our wedding and Rachael made sure everything went smoothly on the day. We were made to feel very special, nothing was too much trouble. We had a beautiful suite and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We would highly recommend the East Sussex National.East Sussex National's reply:

Fab wedding hosted at East Sussex National
Really enjoyed having our wedding at East Sussex National. Rachel was our co-ordinator on the day who couldn’t do enough for us and was so helpful and a joy to have on the day. The food is lovely and everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff are quick with the service too. The package is good value for money and the communication in the lead up with Tracey is great. They make you feel very special and the bridal suite is amazing. I would recommend having your wedding here!
It would be great to have the microphone PA system included in the package as we did need this for the speeches and ceremony (which was outside) and for us to be able to choose what bottles of wine we wanted on each table as there were some tables who did not drink red / rosé which were therefore not drunk.East Sussex National's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing East Sussex National to celebrate your special day.
We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your wedding and that Rachel was there to make sure everything ran smoothly. We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely comments to her and to Tracey, who will be thrilled to know that you felt so well looked after throughout the planning process.
It’s fantastic to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the food, service and bridal suite, and that you felt our wedding package offered great value for money. Most importantly, we’re so pleased that you felt truly special on such an important occasion.
Thank you also for your constructive feedback regarding the PA system and wine selection. We really appreciate you taking the time to share these suggestions, and we’ll certainly pass them on to our wedding team for consideration.
Thank you again for recommending East Sussex National. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and hope to welcome you back to the hotel in the future! -

Megan Sent on 18/08/2026The most perfect wedding day!
Our journey started with Tracey. Tracey was the most helpful, supportive and kind person when it came to wedding planning. She answered all my questions quickly, waited for my responses patiently when life got busy and looked after us. Planning was easy, even when things out of anyone’s control went wrong, Tracey had us covered.
On the wedding day we had the lovely Rachel looking after us. She was super friendly, supportive and positive. She looked after myself (the bride) in the morning as I wanted to do things myself and settled David’s nerves. Rachel supported throughout the day and did everything she could to ensure we had the best day.
All of the staff at ESN were amazing. We want to make a special shout out to the amazing Elmira who worked on our bar. She had the biggest smile and was so friendly to both us and all of our guests.
The lovely gentleman who took us down to the golf course for our photos in the evening was also amazing.
Our day ran smoothly even when things ran late(due to David wanting to see planes), it did not affect our day at all.
Highly recommend to anyone looking to get married. Everything you need in one place with perfect places for gorgeous photos, beautiful rooms and delicious meals.East Sussex National's reply:
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review!
It was such a pleasure to be part of your wedding journey, and we’re absolutely delighted to hear that you felt supported and looked after from the very beginning through to your special day.
We’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to Tracey, Rachel, Elmira and the rest of the team — they’ll be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated their care and support. It sounds like you had such a wonderful day, planes and all!
Thank you again for choosing us to be part of such a special occasion, and we wish you and David a lifetime of happiness together! 💕 -

Holly Sent on 06/08/2026Our dream wedding day at East Sussex National
My partner and I had the most wonderful wedding day at East Sussex National. The reception room was beautiful, the food was delicious, the grounds were stunning and our honey moon suite was perfect. Tracey is always on hand to answer any queries and makes the experience of planning the wedding fun and stress free. Tracey and her team were very accommodating, and liaised with any third parties involved with the wedding on our behalf. I cannot thank Rachel enough for the running of the wedding on the day. Rachel is kind, professional and showed a genuine interest in myself, my partner and our guests. Rachel went above and beyond to make our day memorable. We have received multiple comments from our guests about how amazing all of the staff that were involved on the wedding day were.East Sussex National's reply:

Mia Sent on 31/07/2026A memorable summer wedding
We got married at ESN in July 2026. From coming to visit the venue soon after our engagement, the team were welcoming, friendly and professional. We had to reschedule our original wedding date due to falling pregnant and this wasn’t an issue and was easily done.
Upon our final meeting, there was some slight confusion on what was included compared to our contract, but again this was quickly resolved.
The facilities at ESN, especially the spa are health club are clean and relaxing. This was especially helpful in calming the bride before the big day!
The bridal suite was large, clean and luxurious and provided a comfortable stay. Rachael, our wedding co-ordinatior for the day was very accommodating and always ensured we were happy, and well fed and watered!
The outdoor ceremony area was beautiful, especially with the amazing panoramic views ESN have to offer. There were a few minor teething issues prior to the ceremony regarding delivery vehicles, but this did not affect the ceremony itself.
The lynx roundhall was were our wedding breakfast and reception was, being newly decorated made it even better, there was plenty of room for our 80 guests, DJ, Dancefloor, chocolate fountain and cake table. Louisa, our bar attendant for the majority of the night was amazing and Amy was lovely too!
There were amazing photo opportunities within the grounds of ESN which have turned out amazing.
We look forward to visiting ESN in the near future and also plan on returning for our 1 year anniversary.East Sussex National's reply:

Ben Sent on 31/12/2025Perfect Winter Wedding
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.East Sussex National's reply:
Dear Ben & Victoria,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted that your visit to our wedding fair led you to discover East Sussex National and that you fell in love with the venue - even changing your plans to a winter wedding!
It’s lovely to hear that Tracey and the team supported you throughout the planning process and that Rachel and the team looked after you so well on the day. Your kind comments about our staff and the special touches in your room mean a great deal to us.
Thank you for celebrating your special day with us. We wish you both every happiness for the future and hope to welcome you back to East Sussex National again. -
