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:

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.

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.

Akshay Sent on 18/07/2025Incredible 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!East Sussex National's reply:

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!

Joanna Sent on 15/04/2025Wedding 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!!

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.East Sussex National's reply:
