About East Sussex National

East Sussex National’s wedding offering centres on flexibility and choice, with a range of licensed ceremony spaces and reception rooms set within its extensive East Sussex countryside grounds. The resort holds a civil ceremony licence covering four indoor spaces, including the Pavilion Restaurant, which offers panoramic views; the Lynx Suites, ideal for more intimate celebrations; and the Clubhouse Ballroom. For warmer days, couples can also choose the outdoor Birdcage ceremony setting.

Couples are supported by a dedicated wedding team throughout the planning process and on the day itself, with packages that can be tailored to suit individual preferences. A range of suites accommodates both larger celebrations and more intimate occasions, while menus are designed to cater to different tastes, with food prepared to the resort’s 2 AA Rosette standard.

Following the ceremony and celebrations, guests can unwind in the resort’s spa and leisure facilities, which include a pool, sauna, steam room and gym. Luxury suite accommodation is available on site, with preferential rates for wedding guests, while dining options range from afternoon tea to multi-course wedding breakfasts.

The resort’s countryside grounds and varied interiors provide a choice of backdrops for photography and time spent with guests. Bespoke wedding elements can also be incorporated, with the dedicated wedding team working with couples to adapt arrangements and create a celebration centred around their individual priorities.
