Southdowns Manor Full Description
Whether it’s the idyllic scenery or the quintessentially English setting, it’s clear why the South Downs National Park is a favourite location for wedding couples. A venue that continues to attract brides and grooms year on year is Southdowns Manor, a historical venue located just a few miles from Trotton, near Midhurst. This spectacular property was originally built in the late 19th century as a two-storey house by the Honourable John Jervis Carnegie. And while the manor has undergone many upgrades, it has carefully preserved its historical charm with elegant furnishings, open fireplaces and sweeping bay windows. Licensed for civil ceremonies, the manor offers a choice of locations for couples to exchange their vows. The Grand Banqueting Suite is popular for ceremonies of up to 150 guests, while the elegant Sussex Room and the Conservatory are perfect for more intimate occasions. During the warmer months, the outdoor gazebo offers a romantic setting on the Southdowns Manor lawns. The in-house chefs and wedding planning team work to the highest standards to provide decadent wedding breakfasts and evening entertainment. The manor also boasts 14 sumptuously furnished guest rooms, providing a luxe retreat following celebrations. With a warm and welcoming feel and a bespoke approach to service, Southdowns Manor places itself as an exclusive ‘home from home’ - all enhanced by the beauty of the surrounding National Park.

Would 100% recommend to anybody and everybody!

We chose this venue being of the whole use of the Manor House and the grounds and it did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to get married outside which was absolutely picturesque. From the initial meeting with Karis to Becky running our wedding day, the service was outstanding. Couldn’t fault a single thing. It was all perfect. Becky ensured the day ran smoothly and what an incredible job she did. Would 100% recommend to anybody and everybody! Thank you for making our day so special.

Honestly the venue is gorgeous

Honestly it was amazing. From the set up, on the day, with the little details like the personalised Knife, the little gifts in the room after our tiring day. To making sure it all ran smoothly! Honestly the venue is gorgeous and what a day for it weather wise, we couldn’t thank you all enough. We’re so happy we could spend our big day here, and would highly recommend it to anyone!

We couldn’t recommend Southdowns Manor enough

Southdowns Manor is the ideal place for you to get married if you want a real family feel for your wedding. From the very first meeting with Natalie in sales we felt like we were truly valued and the team were willing to go over and above to make our day amazing. Lia was our wedding coordinator and no ask or question was too big. She was professional, knowledgeable and helpful from the get go and her advice proved invaluable in making sure our day ran smoothly. She was such a calming presence on the day and we loved that she joined us for a dance at the end of the night. We couldn’t recommend Southdowns Manor enough everything was PERFECT!

Our Wedding exactly what we'd hoped

From start to finish the whole journey with Southdowns Manor has been relaxed, friendly and incredibly helpful. This extended to the recommended suppliers that we used too. Everyone involved worked together to make our Wedding exactly what we'd hoped for, with no exceptions. It's hard not to overstate how fantastic the location, staff and the food all were. Having sole use of the venue for a 24 hour period really made a difference for us too, it meant we could have our Wedding, our way.
