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. Practical points: choose from a specially curated list of external caterers, no corkage charges, one hundred wooden, folding chairs and a variety of tables included in the hire fee, fire pits allowed in the courtyard and quadrangle (unless canopy installed, for obvious reasons). Quiet, private, lockable day room included for the couple ('the tack room').

- AAnna & Liam28/01/2026Most magical day of our lives!Most magical day of our lives!We got married here in August 2025 and it was the most magical day of our lives! Bignor Park is such a glorious wedding venue - it felt like we could've been in Italy with the stunning gardens and so many gorgeous outdoor areas to choose from. We particularly loved having sunset drinks in the loggia and alfresco dining in the quadrangle. We also had the pleasure of working with Bignor Park's Events Co-ordinator, Louise who ensured the day ran as smoothly as it did. Louise was on top of everything and made sure I wouldn't be stressed on the day! We can't thank her and Bignor Park enough for how wonderful everything turned out and we'll definitely be back again in the future to visit.We got married here in August 2025 and it was the most magical day of our lives!

The preparation beforehand was made easier by Louise’s advice and ensuring military precision with on the day timings. We would not ever have expected our luck with the weather – glorious sunshine and the Northern lights, but mostly the gardens and the view we had fallen for initially were even more breathtaking.

The available space allowed for lots of different elements, we had the ceremony and cocktails on the loggia lawn, and we did the food in the stables. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the venue was, and it made for some of the best photos. The events co-ordinator was amazing and her hard work meant that the day went as planned, and it made the process way less stressful!

The gardens are spectacular, and the views of the South Downs were perfect for a beautiful post-wedding drinks reception and lawn games.
