Perfect, stunning, incredible!

We have booked Alfriston for our wedding and we are so so glad we did! There really was no other venue that compared to it! We have found it to be much more affordable compared to other venues, and you get much more included! Janie is so friendly and helpful with everything and happy to answer all of my questions. You get exclusive use of the venue and the bedrooms are so beautifully done. We will be forever grateful we found Alfriston Gardens ♥️

Brillaint and gorgeous venue!

Alfriston gardens has just been completely renovated and looks absolutely gorgeous! We got married at the end of September and were the second wedding to be held there. The duo of Janie’s who’s fantastic and gets things done and helped me up to and including the day but Dean who runs black pepper (catering) for the venue was just as helpful.
They helped up with the order of the day, tasting recommended other suppliers too. Janie helped when one of the decorations hadn’t arrived the day before and I had nothing to worry about.
Would highly recommend this venue as it’s gorgeous and the team are fantastic. We had the best day!
