VENUES


Southend Barns Wedding Venue

Southend Barns is a one of a kind wedding venue just 10 minutes from our doorstep. Their attention to detail and personal service make every bride glow with confidence in the lead up to their day. We often have the joy of sharing the morning with our brides in their stunning Bridal Suite (The Milking Parlour) or the rural country inn The Blacksmiths beautifying them for their wedding. Full of rustic charm and romantic touches, Southend Barns is a wedding venue like no other.

Goodwood House

Imagine a tree lined drive, set in the heart of immaculate parkland dotted with ancient cedar trees. Arrive at Goodwood House’s historic portico to be welcomed by liveried butlers ready to welcome you to this magnificent stately home with its views across the South Downs and Sussex countryside. This wedding venue is luxury in the country with the wedding accomodation at the Goodwood Hotel making this an ideal place to begin your hair and makeup preparations.
