We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day! Not only was the setting absolutely stunning, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make everything run seamlessly. From the very beginning, Becky was an absolute superstar. She made the entire planning process feel effortless—always organized, responsive, and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. No question was too small, and her calm, friendly presence gave us so much peace of mind throughout the lead-up to the big day. And a special shout-out to Jack, who made our wedding morning so memorable. His energy, warmth, and attention to detail helped set the perfect tone for the day. He made sure everything was in place, kept us smiling, and created such a relaxed, atmosphere. And we can’t forget Mark—our amazing toastmaster! He was hands-down the best we could have asked for. Professional, charismatic, and on top of every detail, Mark kept the day flowing effortlessly and ensured everything happened right on time, all while keeping spirits high and the atmosphere joyful. Every member of the team went out of their way to make sure we and our guests were taken care of. It truly felt like we were in the hands of people who cared just as much about our day as we did. We’re so grateful we chose this venue—it gave us memories to last a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Lydia & Thomas xx 29.05.2025

We were so thrilled we chose Horsted Place as our wedding venue. Right from the beginning, the dedicated events co-ordinator was extremely helpful and professional. We had an intimate and non-traditional wedding, but Horsted Place were incredibly relaxed and flexible, catering to all our needs perfectly, including some complicated dietary requirements. The venue itself is beautiful, a lovely romantic place to marry, and we felt extremely well looked after on the day, with lots of extra little touches to make us feel special. The food is wonderful - all our guests complimented it, along with the venue. Staff on the day were fantastic and went above and beyond to look after us. It was also made very easy and convenient for our external suppliers. All in all, we would thoroughly recommend this incredible venue for an unforgettable celebration.

We recently had our wedding at East Sussex National, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From start to finish, Rachel was absolutely incredible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, caring nature made the entire day stress-free and enjoyable. The venue was stunning, the service impeccable, and everything ran so smoothly on the day thanks to Rachel and the amazing staff. Our guests were blown away by the food, the setting, and the overall atmosphere. We received so many compliments about how well-organized and beautiful everything was. We also had several out-of-town guests stay at the hotel, and they all spoke highly of the accommodations and hospitality. Rachel and the entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. We’re so thankful to have chosen East Sussex National and would recommend it to any couple looking for a top-tier venue with exceptional service.

Trading boundaries could not be a more perfect wedding venue! We cannot praise the whole team enough, with a particularly big thanks to Oli, Jenny and Cara. We chose the venue two years before our wedding, and from start to finish, Oli and Jenny went above and beyond. Through their exceptional care and expertise, they made the journey feel special every step of the way. They could not have been more accommodating, with their meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the day was tailored to perfection. Their excellent communication always made us feel looked after and confident that our day would be everything we dreamed of. We loved the atmosphere and diversity of the venue. It felt exotic with its beautiful Indian marquees and décor, while still embracing the charm of the English countryside with its lawns, decking and courtyard. On the day of the wedding, Jenny gracefully coordinated everything to ensure a seamless experience. Despite the typical English weather threatening our outdoor ceremony under the stunning trellis, she pulled out all the stops to make it happen, and we could not be more grateful. The layout of the venue worked perfectly for us, offering the use of the entire space while maintaining an intimate feel with our guests. The bar’s proximity to the dance floor created a fantastic vibe, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the special cocktails that Oli thoughtfully organised. I highly recommend booking the rooms surrounding the courtyard, which are absolutely exquisite and beautifully presented by Cara. Having the chance to enjoy a lovely breakfast with friends and family the following morning was a magical way to conclude our celebrations. The staff were absolutely incredible and the entire team brought such a friendly and relaxed vibe to the day! We can’t thank everyone enough for going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Our deepest thanks for making our wedding day even better than we could have imagined and exceeding all our expectations.

We can't thank Bluebell railway enough for all there support and planning and effort that went into making our day so special it was stress free and a special day that all of us will remember for the rest of our lives we wanted a different wedding and that's what we got!!

A HUGE thank you to Nicola, Peter and Viki for all their hard work both during the wedding day and the planning/lead up. Right from our very first contact with Nicola we were impressed by the way she worked and particularly liked that she had clear boundaries of what they do and don’t offer/recommend as this can really help with the overwhelming amount of decisions that there are to be made around organising weddings. The shared spreadsheet was also a really helpful way to keep track everything decided/discussed in the in person meetings and via email. The day could not have run smoother and we felt completely relaxed throughout the day knowing that were anything to happen Nicola was on hand to manage it. The venue itself is gorgeous! The main Barn is beautifully designed and decorated without being too specific so you can still add your own touch to the space, the gardens are immaculately kept by Peter (not a blade of grass out of place) and the guest accommodation was equally stunning. If you are thinking of having your wedding in Sussex I could not recommend Hendall Manor Barns more highly!

Going into our wedding, my now wife and I had some idea of what we wanted for our wedding day, a venue away from the hustle and bustle of civilisation, a rustic but well equipped barn, picturesque surroundings for as far as the eye could see. We thought we were being too picky, and that such a venue only existed in our imaginations. That was until my wife stumbled across Home Farm Stables. From the pictures we were excited, and so we quickly asked to meet the owners to take a look around. Lucy and Barry met us in the court yard of their wedding venue. It had been easy to find, and we were impressed by how close to Uckfield it was for our guests to find transport, but somehow felt like it was a hundred miles to the nearest person. We greeted them, and immediately knew this place was special. They were warm and welcoming, but interested and excited in what we had planned. As we started walking around, a cynical man could think this was all part of a sales pitch, but as you will read below, this was far from the case. The venue itself is stunning, the barn is rich with character, set in front of bright fields which blur into lush forrest. The facilities are excellent, more than ample for any decently sized wedding, and everything is nicely accessible those less able. As you leave the barn, and enter the fields beyond, your view is dominated by a wise oak that almost seems too perfectly shaped to be real. Lucy and Barry suggested we should have our ceremony beneath the enormous canopy of the tree. We were thrilled. Throughout the planning of the wedding, Lucy and Barry maintained a level of enthusiasm that kept us excited for our wedding, rather than anxious over the details. They kept up the that initial energy that had drawn us in on the first meeting, contributing a plethora of ideas and suggestions which we adopted for our day, and it wouldn't have been the same without them. Wandering back up the field, we passed along side the pig sty and cottage that come with the venue. Again, everything is wonderfully equipped, and beautifully furnished. In front of the pond, near the cottage, there sat a repurposed horse carriage, Barry suggested we could have cocktails from it after the food, and we did. They were excellent. We also decided to have Glamping tents set up in the field, which Lucy and Barry helped organise. This was completely painless too, with our guests turning up to drop off their belongings straight into ready prepared bell tents. Our wedding day was flawless. It was, and always will be, a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. This was in no small part due to the perfect venue, and the perfect hosts. This venue is a MUST SEE! It is the perfect place to celebrate, and enjoy the best days of your lives.

We loved every aspect of the venue, from the isolated location to the many features it provided. From beginning to end, Jez and Tara were very cooperative and flexible, if it meant needing to see the venue for the 5th time or asking numerous questions, they were very accommodating. The venue was stunning inside and out, featuring a lovely fire pit for when it gets cold in the evening, a spacious gardens area for all our guests and even a mini barn which we used as a photos booth. The inside was brilliant as well, with lovely ceder beams, thus giving it it's name (I presume) and a very simplistic concrete floor, which allowed us to decorate however we pleased. All in all, a wonderful venue and amazing for the price too.
