Pelham House Full Description
Pelham House combines the opulence and grandeur of a country manor with the sophistication and finesse of a private club. Every detail has been carefully considered and the whole property is exclusively yours for your special day, from the celebration rooms with ornate original features and striking lighting to the tranquil gardens, framed by rolling countryside and the East Sussex clifftops. And with the convenience of a train station just a few minutes away and stylish accommodation for you and up to 56 guests, all your friends and family can join in the celebration. Hidden away in The Courthope Mews is The Dressing Room, a luxurious space where you can put the finishing touches to your look, spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest and catch a glimpse of your guests arriving in the courtyard below. For intimate civil ceremonies, the Goring ceremony room is the perfect location. Original bay windows let the light stream in and offer views of the garden beyond. In the warmer months, wander along the flower-lined aisle to The Gazebo while your guests take a seat on the lawn and exchange your vows al fresco as you enjoy your peaceful surroundings. When you enter The Blencowe Room for your wedding breakfast, you’ll be captivated by the grand marble pillars and intricate wood panelling, all brought to life with dazzling feature lighting. The expert chefs will help you create the perfect wedding breakfast, from spectacular sharing boards to fine dining feasts, and there’s plenty of room for a band and dancing too. Once the night has come to a close, spanning an entire wing, the romantic Pelham Suite awaits. It has its own lounge area, a pristine en-suite complete with an free-standing bath, and a bedroom that exudes elegance and luxury. With space for up to 60 guests in the house, your loved ones can spend the night in style too!

Went above and beyond
The experience we had at Pelham House truly helped make our day so special. At every single turn, they not only wowed us, but they consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. The venue itself is outstandingly gorgeous and the Christmas decorations turned it into a true winter Wonderland. The food, whether it was the wedding breakfast, canapés or evening pizza, was truly gourmet and all our guests absolutely raved about it. Finally, the service we received was impeccable.

Everything we could have hoped for and more
We absolutely fell in love with Pelham from the moment we first visited, we knew it was the venue for us. It is stunning inside and in a beautiful historic location. Everything is catered for in house, from the food to the drinks, coordination to accommodation, on top of this they are exclusively a wedding venue. No other venue in Sussex could offer this.

The absolute best venue
We knew when we were looking for a venue we wanted to be able to get ready there and also stay with friends and family. We originally thought we wanted a barn until we saw Pelham house. The goring room for me was the most beautiful room. The grounds were perfect and well maintained and even in bad weather it still managed to look perfect.

What a little hidden gem
Pelham house - what a little hidden gem. The grounds are just beautiful. The event coordinators are amazing and make sure your day runs so smoothly. Their communication is also top tier prior to the wedding. The food was outstanding and the rooms were so lovely, especially given how affordable they are! Exclusive use is also a bonus.

Truly Breathtaking
The most beautiful setting for our daughter’s wedding day, having lived in East Sussex all our lives, we never knew this was here just off the main high street, entered through a courtyard, once inside it is truly breathtaking and beautiful and very elegant.
