GRITTENHAM BARN 07788 467 051 | www.grittenhambarn.com Grittenham is a Grade II listed Sussex barn set in stunning gardens complete with lake, orchard and woodland, all with breathtaking views across the glorious countryside and South Downs. The carefully maintained barn, farmhouse and outbuildings all form a historical site mentioned in the Domesday Book. The barn itself has been thoughtfully renovated and features an impressive central fireplace, vaulted ceiling and traditional iron chandeliers, which look incredible adorned with flowers. The space is both beautiful and flexible. With lighting, flowers and candles you can easily create the mood you want for your wedding. Set in seven acres of glorious gardens, you can admire the views of the South Downs and neighbouring vineyard, visit the farm’s donkeys and pigs, or watch the ducks paddling on the lake. The barn itself and parts of the grounds are licensed for civil ceremonies, with the lower barn capable of accommodating 120 loved ones for the “I dos.” The entire structure is separated into two by the fireplace, and it’s the lower end that’s the ceremony space (later transforming into the bar end), while the upper end is used for the wedding breakfast and dancing. You can also invite 120 guests for the wedding breakfast, with a total of 250 welcome for the evening celebrations. What’s more, there are two cottages on site that are available to rent. BURY MANOR BARN 01798 831 791 | www.burymanorbarn.co.uk Bury Manor Barn is a Tudor structure set in the picturesque rural village of Bury, near Pulborough in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The barn and its idyllic surroundings can be found in the grounds of Dorset House School, one of the oldest prep schools in the country. Steeped in history, records of the Manor date back to the Domesday Book. In addition to its stunning riverside setting and views, the Bury Manor Barn site includes several distinct areas including an amphitheatre with lighting to extend time spent outside. There’s also a peaceful walled garden with shady areas for hot days, perfect for guests to congregate for group shots. The fabulous covered terrace area with elevated views of Amberley Castle and the South Downs is ideal for a champagne reception. Meanwhile, the woodland area with a wonderful avenue of beach trees, and the magical pond with jetty and weeping willow overhead both offer idyllic spots for those all-important couple photos. Ceremonies take place in the beautiful inner barn or outside in the amphitheatre with stunning views across the Wildbrooks and River Arun. The venue holds a civil wedding licence here for 130 loved ones. Receptions are hosted in the 16th-century outer barn, which is divided into two distinct areas by a pretty glazed wall. There’s also the freedom to decorate according to your chosen theme. The barn has retained its original wooden beams, which you’re free to dress. There’s also a superb state-of-the-art LED lighting system in place. The inner barn is also available for receptions if not being used for the ceremony, and can accommodate 108 nearest and dearest seated at banquet rounds. For the wedding breakfast and reception, the inner and outer spaces combined can hold up to 228 guests. The venue offers its couples a complimentary wine tasting with Digby Fine English at their beautiful wine tasting room in Arundel. www.justineclaire.com www.justineclaire.com www.paulfletcherphotography.co.uk www.sallyrawlinsphotography.com Scan to view video Video by www.pbweddingphotography.com 28
