Description
Description
Bignor Park is a fabulous, family run wedding venue, epitomising rural elegance in the heart of West Sussex. Tucked quietly away down a half-mile drive, it is a majestic hidden gem with understated style, and romantic charm.
At Bignor Park, we believe that your wedding should be all about you as a couple and your dreams for your perfect day. So, we provide the stunning ‘blank canvas’ and inspirational ideas, and your imagination will decide the rest, ensuring that your dream wedding will be unique and unforgettable. We will be there to help you every step of the way to create the best day of your life in our beautiful venue.
We also believe that you should have the time and space to enjoy it all, so our wedding bookings are limited to twelve couples per year, and all our weddings have exclusive use per weekend with access two days prior to your day to allow you plenty of time to set up.
Our Civil Ceremonies license is outside at the Greek Loggia, part of eleven acres of beautiful grounds incorporating formal gardens, sweeping lawns, the temple and zen pond. Receptions in the rustic and quirky Stables include the Courtyard and Quadrangle, or a marquee or tipi tent reception on the Croquet Lawn makes the most of the panoramic views.
Bignor Park offers a magical setting for your perfect day - we look forward to welcoming you.
COVID lockdown reassurance: during the two lockdowns when wedding venues had to close due to government restrictions all of our wedding couples (bar one) asked to postpone their weddings and we found new dates for them at no added venue hire fee cost. The couple who were unable to reschedule were refunded their venue hire fee in full.

- EEllie and Quintin03/03/2022Our perfect wedding venue - truly a hidden gemOur perfect wedding venue - truly a hidden gemFrom the moment we drove into Bignor Park back in August 2019 and met Louise for the first time, we knew that it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Nestled in the South Downs, it truly is a hidden gem and a blank canvas; with the Loggia, Quadrangle, and Zen Pond to the beautiful South Lawn, manicured gardens and Stables, we had the flexibility to truly make our day our own and make our vision for our wedding a reality. Louise was our main point of contact and we were so grateful for her kindness, patience, expert advice, flexibility, reassurance and hands-on approach over the eighteen months running up to our wedding. We couldn't have done it without her! When we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, she was really supportive and proactive, making herself available via a phone call or email if we needed her. We would recommend Bignor Park to anyone! Don't hesitate to book.From the moment we drove into Bignor Park back in August 2019 and met Louise for the first time, we knew that it was the perfect venue for our wedding.
