We were so lucky and fortunate to be able to celebrate the day at the Ockdean manor in Cuckfield, where the staff and facilities there were so welcoming and friendly

We were so lucky and fortunate to be able to celebrate the day at the Ockdean manor in Cuckfield, where the staff and facilities there were so welcoming and friendly. The food was sensational and the restaurant dining room was fantastic. We really cannot thank them enough for making the day extra special. Highly recommend the resturant and garden.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Ockenden Manor?

A winter wedding with 'snow' - a snow machine covered the terrace and lawn in snow. It was magical especially when the guests spilled out for drinks and canapes.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take time to enjoy planning your special day - it can become just a 'to do' list rather than a fun and amazing time spent together creating memories.
