Tim C. Sent on 30/09/2024The Perfect Venue for us
Pelham House was the second venue we saw, and even though we had another couple of venues booked in, we decided Pelham was for us.
The building has such a natural beauty, and not just in the main rooms, every aspect of the house and gardens is beautiful. It is in an ideal location, an hour from London, and although it is in the central of Lewes you would never know it from the building as it's a bit set back with beautiful gardens.
The staff were great, there were a few things that happened behind the scenes on the day, but the staff handled it so seamlessly that we didn't know about it until the next day.
The food was amazing as well, the amount of people who said it was the best food they'd ever had at the wedding was crazy, and the amount of clean plates that went back to the kitchen spoke the truth. Not to mention how amazing the canapes were.
Emily was a lovely coordinator, and kept our day moving perfectly.
The hire, food/drink, and rooms were exceptionally good value, and the bar is well priced. I would say just outside London prices for pints etc. The only comment was the price of a 6 pack of beers for the groomsmen before the wedding was very overpriced, and I hope they change that.
I couldn't recommend Pelham more, they helped us have the perfect day.Pelham House's reply:
Hi Tim, Thank you so much for your lovely review and pictures! We're thrilled that Pelham House made such a perfect setting for your special day. It’s great to hear how much you and your guests enjoyed the food and how smoothly everything ran. Your feedback about the beer pricing is really helpful, and we’ll definitely look into it. Congratulations again and best wishes, The Pelham House Team -

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Pelham House—our wedding there was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the ceiling as you walk in is breathtaking.
The team at Pelham House went above and beyond to make our day seamless. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism, and they made the planning process feel so easy and stress-free. A huge thank you to Danielle, our incredible events manager. She was an absolute superstar from day one—so organized, calm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Danielle made us feel completely at ease throughout the planning and on the big day itself. Danielle kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could fully relax and enjoy every moment. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. A special mention has to go to Jonny, the bar manager, who was absolutely incredible throughout the day. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him—he was constantly checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely making us feel so well looked after. His kindness and attention to detail really stood out and made such a difference to our experience.
Our guests are still raving about the incredible setting, delicious food, and warm atmosphere. We’re so grateful to Pelham House for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever.Pelham House's reply:
Hi Chloe, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re over the moon to hear how special your day at Pelham House was, and your kind words about Danielle and Jonny really made us smile. They’ll be so touched to know they helped make your wedding feel so relaxed and memorable.
The photos you’ve shared are absolutely stunning and it’s such a joy to see the house and gardens brought to life through your day. We're so pleased your guests enjoyed the food, the setting and the atmosphere too.

Thoughtful, Inclusive, and Unforgettable
Pelham proved to be an incredible wedding venue, offering an all-in-one experience that made our special day seamless and stress-free. From the ceremony and wedding breakfast to the disco and hotel stay, everything was beautifully contained within one building—a true hidden gem in the heart of Lewes.
The food was a highlight, consistently praised by both our guests and ourselves throughout the day. To top it off, the weather was wonderfully on our side.
We deeply appreciated the venue’s inclusivity in hosting a gay couple. The diversity among the staff added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, making the day even more memorable.
One of Pelham’s standout features was the availability of two getting-ready rooms—an uncommon yet brilliant touch that made our preparations smoother. It’s rare to find such a thoughtful addition in wedding venues, and we absolutely loved it!Pelham House's reply:
Hi Jack, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're over the moon that your day at Pelham was everything you hoped for. It means a great deal to hear how welcomed and supported you felt—creating an inclusive, memorable experience is exactly what we strive for. The photos from your wedding are absolutely stunning and really reflect the warmth and joy of the day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! Best wishes, The Pelham House Team -

We fell in love with this venue from our first viewing! Absolutely stunning gardens, perfect backdrop for a wedding, friendly and helpful staff. The separate room away from the main venue for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready was perfect, as was the men’s room too! We attended a food tasting event before the wedding which we highly recommend doing, and the food on our wedding day and the morning after was absolutely delicious, all of our guests complimented it! We had the pizza option in the evening and had a pizza for myself and my husband in our room after the reception party.
Parking is very limited, but this isn’t a problem as it’s a very short walk from the station car park and the venue put on a shuttle taxi from the station to the venue.
We would highly recommend this venue!Pelham House's reply:
Hi Abbi, Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review and share your beautiful pictures. It was a pleasure to host your special day. Best wishes Pelham House Team -

Pelham house stole our hearts since the first day we walked into the venue!
The planning team were amazing from the day we booked Pelham to the day we got married!
They guided us through the planning and made the process so easy! They put us at ease throughout the day!
We felt it was good value for money getting married on a Monday with a midweek package. They were flexible with our menus choices within the package for food but less so for drinks.
The venue is beautiful inside and out and is maintained imaculately! We had access the day before and stayed for 2 nights which makes the day run so smoothly!
The only con is the bar is separate to the dance floor but we had beer and prosecco next to the dancefloor to compensate.
Would definitely recommend!
