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.

Southdowns was incredible

Our experience with Southdowns was incredible! Karis was amazing getting the wedding of our dreams in the budget we could afford. Really couldn’t have been more helpful. On our day and the run up to it Lia was our Event Manager - she went above and beyond making sure all aspects of our day was perfect., The staff, the food, the whole experience we couldn’t praise more, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food and we have had nothing but positive comments about how everyone enjoyed the day.

We cannot thank the whole team at Southdowns Manor enough for helping to make our wedding the most incredible day, everything was perfect from start to finish. We had so many comments and compliments from our guests on the fantastic food, staff and setting. An extra special thank you to Becky and Rachel for their incredible support throughout the day.

Southdowns Manor and its staff are incredible

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 without any strangers wandering through as you might find at other hotels for example. A final reason we chose the venue was because almost everything was included in the price. This meant that we had far fewer decisions to make and we could see what everything would look like in situ, long before the day itself. And while we did upgrade a few elements, these decisions were nearly all made at one of the open evenings. Southdowns Manor and its staff are incredible, our Wedding planner ran the day like clockwork and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. James and Claire Yarborough 20.07.24

Perfect Wedding Experience from Start to Finish!

Perfect Wedding Experience from Start to Finish! We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding than Southdowns Manor. The staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was and how smoothly the day flowed. A special shoutout to our amazing wedding planner, Lia, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail, creativity, and calm demeanour made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. We felt completely taken care of and could truly relax and enjoy our day. We can’t thank the team at Southdowns Manor enough for making our wedding day everything we imagined and more. Highly recommend for anyone looking for the perfect wedding experience!
