Your Sussex Wedding - Page number 55 - October/November 2021 (Issue 93)

55 LOCAL SHOOT W hen Cottesmore Hotel Golf and Country Club succumbed to fire in 2018, the heartbreak was felt far and wide. Now, in happier times, the venue has flung open its doors to weddings once more with its fab new look and versatile function suites. Constructed to complement the historical charm and character of the original 1884 farm buildings, the new sections boast a contemporary flair allowing couples and their guests to enjoy a seamless blend of old and new. The team behind this styled shoot, captured during the spring earlier this year, drew inspiration from the surrounding 247 acres of lush, tree- lined countryside and the results showcase the venue back to doing it what does best. If you cast your mind back to the dark days of 2020’s first lockdown, you may remember that the Sussex wedding industry rallied together to offer our brave NHS workers a chance to win the wedding of their dreams at this venue. Laura and Mike were the lucky winners of this incredible prize worth more than £30,000 and will soon be tying the knot with help from the talented and generous local suppliers who have donated their services to the cause. We hear they can’t wait to give the deserving couple the day of their dreams.
