Your Sussex Wedding - June/July 2023 (Issue 103)

TRADING BOUNDARIES www.tradingboundaries.com Jenny Ross, wedding venue coordinator, says: We'll work with you to help with planning your day at our venue. We offer a gorgeous courtyard area with an Indian arbour and a feature fountain, along with grounds boasting vistas of fields and woodland. The ceremony can be held in our beautiful chocolate vine-covered Indian arbour situated in the courtyard that can seat up to 160 guests, but works equally well for smaller weddings, or on our lawns in front of 200-year-old oak trees. We’ve just added an amazing Indian outdoor bar on our decking, complementing our bespoke marquees from India that feature handblock detailing. Use one side for up to 90 guests, or both sides for larger weddings up to 160 guests with great views across the lawns and courtyard. You're welcome to have games and firepits, pop-up food stalls or trucks if you prefer or use our kitchen for something more formal. Jenny's top tip: Always consider a wet-weather plan. We’re happy to discuss options and have the flexibility to offer great wet- weather alternatives. What’s to love about tying the knot outside? Fresh air and the joy of the outside thanks to the gorgeous vistas offered by our various outdoor celebration spaces. WILDFLOWER EVENTS www.wildflower.events Sarah Duncan says: We can help you transform fields or gardens into your own personal stunning wedding venue with our collection of tents, dining and lounge furniture, lighting and décor items. We also offer outdoor wedding packages at Everflyht Vineyard and Meadow Lake, which are both beautiful locations for a Sussex wedding. Sarah's top tip: Make sure you have enough shelter for your guests. Most people think about needing cover in case of a shower but in the Great British summertime it can more often be about providing shade for your guests from the scorching sunshine! What’s to love about tying the knot outside? Fredoom! Having an outdoor wedding allows you to be really creative and unique, being able to plan a wedding that feels personal to you and enhance the natural surroundings. Little touches like creating gorgeous shady lounge areas for guests to relax in, disco balls hanging from trees and dancing the night away under the stars on our outdoor dancefloor make al fresco weddings the best! https://jennifersmithphotography.co.uk www.paulfletcherphotography.co.uk © Oli Clifford https://craigpayne.co.uk https://jennifersmithphotography.co.uk THE GREAT OUTDOORS 59
