Nestled in the heart of the dramatic Sussex Downs, South Lodge is the perfect wedding venue for all seasons. From striking rhododendron displays in Spring to sun-soaked ceremonies in Summer, vibrant coloured parkland in the Autumn and roaring log fires in the Winter, whenever you choose to marry here your day will be simply unforgettable.
South Lodge boasts 12 beautiful function suites, suitable for weddings with anywhere between 10 and 180 guests in attendance. For those dreaming of saying their vows outdoors, the Wedding Pavilion is simply perfect. You can walk down the red carpet aisle, as your guests look on from white lawn chairs, and say ‘I do’ in the Sussex countryside.
When it comes to your reception at South Lodge, you and your guests are in for a treat. From drinks on the manicured lawns to a fine-dining feast, every moment will be unforgettable. The award-winning chefs will be on-hand to create delicious dishes made from the best local and seasonal produce, while the dedicated staff ensure glasses are topped up and everything is running smoothly.
We have created packages especially for those looking for inspiration and guidance, but with our flexible approach we are equally happy to create a bespoke day just for you. Attention to detail is key at this fantastic venue and our team will ensure that everything is just as you require, right down to the smallest touches.
The state-of-the-art spa gives you yet another reason to choose South Lodge. With a large pool area and an extensive list of blissful treatments, it’s hard to think of a better place to relax before the big day, or unwind after the event. Nail care and makeup application is also offered, allowing you to look and feel your best on the big day without having to set foot outdoors.
With so much to offer, South Lodge is a fantastic choice for your big day. To experience it for yourself, get in touch with the dedicated team and book a viewing.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you this year. We feel very lucky to have received your professional help and great experience in helping our day to be perfect. Both Cat Liz and the whole team were amazing so please thank them on our behalf. All of our guests also had a truly wonderful time and all said they couldn’t fault the amazing service from the moment they arrived and those who stayed at the Hotel were extremely impressed.
Thank you so much once again.

A few stand out of thanks are deserved for Lindsey and the brilliant coordination and attention to detail. For Cat and everything on the day she did to ease the strain (and what a shift she did), thank you! But also to everyone at South Lodge. Everyone was brilliant, considerate, helpful and nothing was too much. So to all of the team, would you please pass on our thanks for making the day so special.
Finally, we cannot say enough how amazing our day was and the memory created will be with us for a long, long time. A huge thanks to you and all of the team.

Faultless!
We want to say a very big thank you to you and all your staff at the hotel and spa for making our wedding such a very special occasion. The service was faultless, the staff charming and helpful, the food superb. We can not thank you all enough for making it such a special time. All our guests, particularly those that had stayed, all commented on the excellent quality all round.

Our stay at the hotel was so comfortable. What was also wonderful was the setting of the breakfast room the next day. Lovely!!
Just as a further note, we were so impressed with your masters of ceremony Mark. We could not have done without him. Also please thank Cat who was with us at the end of the evening and breakfast the next day. All your staff were just marvelous. All our guests have given us great feedback about the high quality service!
