Amazing day of our lives

We got married in 2022 and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Emily was our wedding planner and was amazing with helping with so many of the things we needed. It sadly rained all day so we couldn’t use the beautiful grounds but it was a beautiful day still and the rooms looked stunning.

Fabulous Venue!

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!

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 function

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. Beautiful venue!

Made 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. I honestly don’t know how it could have been any better. We would definitely recommend this venue. Thanks ESN. Can’t wait to come back. Zoë and Dan x

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.

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. Beautiful venue & amazing food were just two of the comments. So, all we can say to you Emily & all the staff at ESN is, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day the most special, magical day that we’ll treasure forever.
