Your Sussex Wedding - Apr/May 2019 (Issue 78)

JEREMY’S RESTAURANT 01444 441 102 | jeremysrestaurant.co.uk Jeremy’s, part of a country estate in the heart of West Sussex, is a romantic venue with a focus on great modern food and friendly service. The interior is a sunlit space bursting with colour, vivid artwork and delightful views across the gardens. Very much established as a garden venue, the grounds feature expansive terracing and a Victorian walled garden, with a vine- and wisteria-covered walkway. Flowers, herbs and vegetables intermingle in the garden borders and may even find their way on to your plate! THE VOWS The venue, which you can book for exclusive use, is licensed for 55 seated guests, so you can host your civil ceremony there, or head over after church vows. Jeremy’s will even create floral arrangements for the occasion to match your palette. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Whether you’re looking for a laidback or formal affair, seated or mingling, for 12 people or 120, the team at Jeremy’s will work with you to ensure your wedding food and wine meet your requirements. With a couple of hundred wines on the list from all over the world and a wealth of sparkling wines and champagnes, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Meet and mix with drinks on the terrace or lawns, and then continue cocktail-style or move to your tables, seating up to 55 in the restaurant or 120 in the double-sided marquee overlooking the gardens. For a drinks reception with canapés, you could extend your guest list even further to include 70 in the restaurant or 200 in the marquee.
