Located in the heart of the Sussex Downs, South Lodge is a stunning wedding venue oozing with charm, history and character. This 19th-century Victorian country house is home to a choice of stunning spaces for your big day, along with a luxury spa, 88 individually decorated bedrooms and 93 acres of countryside.
This West Sussex wedding venue is a beautiful setting for your big day at any time of year. In spring the surrounding gardens are home to striking rhododendrons which provide a vibrant backdrop to your celebrations and your photos. In the summer months you might choose to say ‘I do’ at the venue’s outside Pavilion, overlooking the 93 acres of gorgeous grounds. In autumn - as the leaves turn - the gardens are awash with a rustic colour palette. While in winter, log burning fires and glowing fairy lights make for a magical setting.
When it comes to planning your wedding at South Lodge, the dedicated events team are experts when it comes to special celebrations and can help you plan your day to perfection. Those looking to host their ceremony onsite will be pleased to know the venue is fully licensed and offers a choice of spaces for your nuptials. The Wordswoth suite is perfect for larger celebrations with space for 80-130 seated, the room is flooded with natural light and also has its own private terrace. Smaller ceremonies might be better suited to the intimate and cosy Glyndebourne suite which - despite its smaller size - still has an impressive aisle to walk down and make your grand entrance. From April to September couples can also choose the outdoor Pavilion for a gorgeous celebration surrounded by acres of natural beauty and a view of the impressive mansion. The Gladstone suite is then a beautiful space for your evening celebrations where you and your guests can dance the night away until midnight.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your staff for making my wedding the most amazing day. We did eventually have it outside as it stopped raining and the sky was brilliant sunshine. The day was amazing from start to finish.

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all you did for Becky and Lloyds wedding last Friday. Everything went so smoothly thanks to your professionalism and attention to detail. I know you do this all the time, but you made us feel very special. Please say a big thank you to all the team, they worked so hard and made everything seamless. It will always be the most special of days and we hope to visit again one day soon.
Becky & Lloyd
From when we first met you Emily up until Sunday afternoon when we had to drag ourselves away from South Lodge... we really didn't want our wedding bubble to burst, we have had the most amazing time! Our families said so many times to us over the day and in the days since the wedding what a beautiful venue South Lodge is and how brilliant all the staff were. The food was so so good (thanks to the chef and his team) and the Tartan Twist mocktails were a real hit.
Elspeth & Nigel
We cannot thank you personally enough for all your hard work in organising our wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect and I could not pick any fault in what you have done for us! You are an absolute super star and south lodge should be honoured to have you working for them. I also would like to pass on my thanks to the “C&B” team. They were fantastic and even got involved with us partying at the end of the night it was amazing. They were fantastic and even got involved with us partying
