Your Sussex Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 77)

Yoghurt Rooms 07761 703 469 | yoghurtrooms.com At the heart of Yoghurt Rooms is a beautiful oak-framed barn, built in 1204. Designed by the farmer and built by his son, with a little help from his friends, it was ready in time for his own wedding. Sitting in the main farmyard, the barn has green oak featherboard walls and a reclaimed red clay tiled roof. It features a stage, unstocked bar area, grand central fireplace and rustic tables and benches. Surrounded by rolling views of Ashdown Forest, this beautiful venue is ideally placed, with the historic town of East Grinstead just a short drive away. There is even an in-house make-up artist and beautician available for hire. When celebrations are through, you and your guests can stay overnight in a studio or granary apartment or even an original Mongolian yurt. THE I DOS The barn is licensed for ceremonies, with a capacity of 150 of your nearest and dearest to witness your exchange of vows. There are plans, filed this winter, to build a bandstand in the main event field, which will also be a wonderful al fresco spot in which to wed, so keep in touch with the venue for updates. THE CELEBRATIONS Reception spaces are varied and include the farm itself, the event field areas, the marquee, the main barn and even after-hours rave room for the real party animals! The venue can seat 150 to share in your first meal together as husband and wife. The Cherry Barn 07796 545 258 | thecherrybarn.co.uk A renovated 17 th -century barn, this venue has kept its rustic charm while still offering all the modern conveniences to keep you and your guests comfortable. The Cherry Barn provides a blank canvas on which to paint the wedding day of your dreams – from boho to classic, festival to luxury. Located on a 400-acre working farm in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s just a seven-minute drive from the beautiful Medieval town of Rye. If you want a romantic break together from all the hubbub of the day, venture up the rustic drive – you’ll find yourselves at the top of the hill with incredible views across Rye and the English Channel. We hear you can even see France on a clear day! The handy preparation room can be used as a bridal suite, crèche or lounge area. Later on in the evening, guests can enjoy the firepit on the patio while watching the sun set. THE I DOS Ceremonies can take place inside The Cherry Barn or outside in the oak-framed gazebo. If you’re using a celebrant rather than a registrar, you may wish to exchange vows beneath an oak tree, in the woodland or wherever your imagination takes you within the parameters of the farm. The venue is also within walking distance of a pretty Norman church in Peasmarsh. THE CELEBRATIONS Your reception, accompanied by 150 loved ones, will take place underneath the 17 th -century barn beams, although use of the garden is worth consideration in finer weather. bexhillfilmcompany.com bexhillfilmcompany.com THEMED VENUES 31
