thanks thanks
We had our wedding in Lewes on 22/02 and couldn't find anywhere in the town that was of a suitable standard to host the reception. We found the Esat Sussex National by accident as we looked for places outside the area. The wedding was arranged by Sasha who was very helpful from the outset and nothing was too much trouble for her, this was true of all the staff, including Kate and Jane on reception and the events staff too. would highly recommend this venue for any functionWe had our wedding in Lewes on 22/02 and couldn't find anywhere in the town that was of a suitable standard to host the reception.

My partner and I chose this specific venue as it was so beautiful, it had a lot to offer with such beautiful views and scenery around it, with Asian weddings it’s hard to find a venue that is located in East Sussex with large capacity luckily we came across East Sussex National in which we managed to seat around 500 guests! Everything was set beautifully and organised how we spoke about it before. They managed set up a prayer room for our guests upstairs aswell as another bridal suite room, it was exceptional. Vivek and Beth both replied to us promptly and managed to fit in viewings that matched our weekly timetables, Vivek especially made everything feel smooth and the process less stressful. The scenery around the venue makes amazing pictures and perfect for any wedding videography! There are many chances in the venue to have cute couple shoots inside and out.My partner and I chose this specific venue as it was so beautiful, it had a lot to offer with such beautiful views and scenery around it, with Asian weddings it’s hard to find a venue that is located in East Sussex with large capacity luckily we came across East Sussex National in which we managed to seat around 500 guests!

Such a gorgeous venue! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful! Our photographer didn’t turn up, but the staff put their heads together and Emily (the event planner) stepped in and took stunning photos on my sisters camera. Could not be more grateful for making our day so super special and making our guests feel welcomed and happy!Such a gorgeous venue! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful!

Made our wedding better than we had imaginedMade our wedding better than we had imagined
East Sussex National is a very special place to us, hence why we knew it would be the perfect wedding venue. When we first met with Beth and the wedding team, we immediately knew it was the right decision. They made everything so easy and seamless. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We got sent all the info we needed well in advance so we knew how things would look like on the day and they gave us such good recommendations and suggestions that we hadn’t thought of that just added that extra touch of special-ness. On the day, it was all hands on deck and I was watching all the staff and how they took such care and precision when preparing the wedding breakfast room. Everyone was so polite and gracious. I honestly don’t know how it could have been any better. We would definitely recommend this venue if you want beautiful settings, attention to detail and staff who go above and beyond. Thanks ESN. Can’t wait to come back. Zoë and Dan xxxEast Sussex National is a very special place to us, hence why we knew it would be the perfect wedding venue.

Thank you Thank you
Thank you very much, thank you too for the card & Champagne in our room. We had the most perfect day & we’re still trying to take it all in, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Rachel & her team were brilliant & the whole day ran like clockwork. I’m not sure who it was but Alan said the guy working on the lobby bar was great. He was on his own at times but managed the bar so well. We had so many lovely comments from our guests saying what a wonderful day it was.
