Stately Home Wedding Venues in West Sussex

Susan and Quinn’s Catering are amazing. The service from initial meetings through to the day of the Wedding. No question was too big or small, with Susan taking everything in her stride and making us feel so comfortable in the decisions we were making. She was on hand with ideas to make the day feel even more special and her staff were faultless - from after ceremony drinks, canapés all the way through the wedding breakfast and evening reception. They were always on hand, so helpful and polite and always putting the guests first. We have had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they had been to, partly due to the service and the quality of the food - dare we mention the sweet chilli sausages?! The amount of requests we have had for where they are from….. we had people queuing up for canapés as they came round (yes, they were that good) and the BBQ platter and trio of desserts went down an absolute storm - we all ate like royalty! We couldn’t have asked for anything more from our day, with Slindon, Susan and her staff (plus the food) being a huge part of that! The venue is incredible, Susan is so generous with her time and knowledge and her staff are amazing. From what could have been a very stressful build up and day Susan helped us breeze through it. She has all the contacts you could dream of and we couldn’t have made it such a special day without her!

I cannot explain how happy I am that we chose Cowdray House for our wedding venue. We did um and ah as it was right on the edge of our budget, but it was worth the stretch. It was a joy to be there, we were able to make a real weekend out of it which is a great option when weddings fly by so quickly. We were able to play a fun game of separate the bride and groom the day before across the various rooms in the house, which between the indoor heated pool, the bowling alley and the beautiful drawing rooms involved a number of successful rotations. The Cowdray team were phenomenal. There was nothing too much trouble for them to help us with, be it: helping us move from room to room as we enjoyed the house, laying out the picnic food we'd brought for the day before beautifully (we'd originally assumed we'd just sort it in the kitchen ourselves), letting us use/move/decorate Cowdray's more obscure sculptures on the day, lining up wellies of different sizes for all our guests to go for a walk, or checking in with us / always being at hand nearby to answer any questions. A truly lovely bunch. We now need another excuse to go back here!

Thank you so very much for making our day so special - right from the first time we visited until the last day. Everyone worked so hard to ensure our happiness and we could not have asked for more. The food was exceptional, just as we knew it would be. Enda [Butler] made my nephews' day by driving them back to the Hotel. It's clear everyone at Goodwood cares so much for other people.

Me and my husband got married at Bignor park in June 2024. What can I say about Bignor, it was simply the perfect venue for what we wanted. When looking for venues I wanted one where I could be there the day before to set up how I wanted the place to look. Bignor allow you access two days before your wedding to set up and two days to take down. Bignor Park is very much a DIY venue where you can hire in the things you need and with doing that you can have the wedding you want and have it look the way you want it to look. It's very much NOT a wedding venue factory. They have only 12 weddings a year. When hiring Bignor you also get the most amazing Co-ordinator, Louise. She is worth her weight in gold, honestly. We had the best day of our lives, getting married there. We could pick what food we wanted, what table and chairs we wanted, how the day planned out. (We did a first look before the ceremony) There are so many beautiful spots at Bignor, so many beautiful photo opportunities.
