It’s difficult to find the superlatives to underline just how great Balcombe Place was for our wedding weekend at the end of April this year. It really delivered on absolutely every level possible and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue, for not only our big day but for the entire weekend. It genuinely made the whole experience extra special.

First of all, a special thanks to our superb coordinator, Grace. From our first visit to the day itself, Grace was extremely friendly and professional. She was a constant source of calm and levelheadedness in guiding our decision making throughout the planning and on the day itself. She kept everything ticking in the background whilst keeping a low profile. The day went ahead without a hitch and that was in a large part thanks to her efforts and expert coordination!

The house staff were super efficient, friendly and always happy to help. As for the time spent there outside of the actual wedding, the meals were absolutely superb, both plentiful and high quality. We particularly appreciated how flexible they were with our quite chaotic eating/living arrangements. As we were a group of 30 including 11 children between the ages of 2 and 12, things were quite manic at times with toys strewn all over the place. But the staff, Grace and owner Fo were all so patient and understanding. They went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs and it contributed to all of the guests having such a great weekend. So much so, in fact, that one family member has gone so far as to say that it was one of the best weekends of their lives!

The accommodation rooms were extremely comfortable and spacious with beautiful interior, each room having its own sense of individuality. As mentioned, our guests ranged from the age of 2 to 72, and all were equally comfortable and catered for!

Finally, and probably most importantly, the grounds and house itself are truly quite breathtaking and make for an incredible backdrop and home for the day. The need for extra decoration is minimal thanks to the stunning architecture; from the grand wooden arches in the main hall to the show-stealing marble fireplace in the ceremony room. Quite frankly, it’s the perfect wedding venue.

Thank you so much Grace, Fo and the whole Balcombe place team. You contributed so much to our big day and made it everything we’d ever hoped it would be and more. Anyone considering it as their wedding venue shouldn’t think twice, get your booking in whilst you can!

Cannot begin to explain how perfect of a day we had for our wedding at Balcombe Place. From our first visit until the Sunday after we were treated amazingly. Grace was an absolute dream to work with. She was so helpful on the day without being overbearing, it was so lovely to have it all come together and feel like she was genuinely invested in our special day and making sure everything went smoothly. Everyone who attended has continued to message us to say how brilliant of a day it was and how beautiful the venue was. So glad we found this special venue. It really feels like such an intimate weekend when you get to stay at the house and have the family team from Balcombe.

Balcombe was the first venue we visited back in 2020 and both instantly fell in love. It had absolutely everything that we were looking for to host the most important day of our lives. From the perfect bedrooms to get ready in the morning, the stunning rooms for both the ceremony and wedding breakfast, to the gorgeous grounds which we just knew would be the perfect backdrop for our reception drinks and couple photos - Balcombe simply had it all! We have had so many compliments from all our guests at how wonderful the day was, and we want to thank you Emma and Grace so much for all the effort and energy you put into making the day a success.

Emma, from the first day we met her was so friendly and welcoming, her knowledge, advice and positivity was inspiring and we knew that we were in the perfect hands for planning our big day. The support with postponing due the covid pandemic was much appreciated.
Grace's energy and friendliness was just amazing and it really did feel like we had another friend by our sides willing us to have the best possible day. At every moment it felt like you had everything under control and neither of us had any doubts that everything was going to run as smoothy as we had dreamed. We cannot recommend Balcombe Place highly enough to every potential bride and groom as their wedding venue!

We held our wedding at Balcombe Place in August 2021 and genuinely had the perfect weekend. After so much covid related stress everything perfectly came together and we had the most beautiful, fun and romantic weekend with our close friends and family. It felt so special to have the whole house to ourselves all weekend, especially since many of our guests came from abroad. The venue is perfect for small and large weddings (our was planned for 110-120 but ended up being 90 due to covid), there are function rooms for all occasions and the in house staff and catering is incredible, we truly felt so pampered while we stayed in the house. All 14 bedrooms are gorgeous (our guests LOVED them ) and the house and the grounds are a spectacular backdrop. Emma who runs Balcombe Place was incredibly helpful both during all stages of the planning (and panic!), helping us plan our wedding as we wanted it (making quite some tweaks from a traditional British wedding) as well as during the weekend ensuring all went smoothly. We are eternally grateful for everyone's help in making our wedding of our dreams came true!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Balcombe Place in April 2022. It was truly stunning and the dreamiest of venues. We initially viewed the venue prior to 2nd lockdown and Emma & Fo kindly allowed us to visit at very short notice before lockdown. It took our breath away from the first moment and we knew this was the venue. No other venues compared. The Balcombe Place package is so unique and every BP Bride will know but its just so magical staying in the house for the entire weekend. The BP Chef and all involved behind the scenes are all amazing and the food was epic throughout the weekend. Fo has restored this beautiful house and we just loved her personal family story with the house. Emma & Grace were the most amazing help throughout the process- they are absolutely wonderful & make the day run so smoothly. Everyone involved at Balcombe Place was amazing and we would strongly recommend BP for all brides if you want the most unique, exclusive & stunning house/grounds for your wedding weekend. We could not fault them- Emma & Grace were impeccably organised, communicated so effectively & made life so much easier in the wedding planning process. Thank you to you all for everything you did for our wedding!

Such a gorgeous venue! We had our wedding here October 2021 and we cannot compliment the staff enough! They are an exceptional team - professional, organised, thoughtful and they worked so hard to make the day really special. We loved every single second!

We had the most incredible wedding day at Balcombe Place. It was a completely stunning backdrop and we feel so lucky to have discovered it. From our first meeting with Emma we knew we wouldn't find anywhere more perfect and despite them never hosting a wedding there before, it was clear that Emma would ensure everything went to plan in the run up and on the day itself. We had several visits in the months between booking and the day itself, bringing our family to see it for themselves, and each one made us more excited for our wedding day and showed us how the developments were progressing. Emma is a dream in communicating - it is rare to find someone as responsive as her and it made planning a wedding so much easier knowing I could send her all my questions and she would usually respond within a few hours. Emma made sure she knew every detail of the day in advance so she could run the day without a hitch and we have had so many people comment how smoothly everything ran, even with the thunderstorms forecast that turned into brilliant sunshine half an hour before our ceremony meaning our plans were going back and forth at the last minute. The staff were all brilliant on the day, and we also had the joy of staying over with our families in the INCREDIBLE bedrooms that have been renovated to such a high standard and are each so unique. Every detail in the house has been thought through to perfection and we felt so lucky to make it ours for the weekend. We are just sad I won't get to do it all again!

We chose Balcombe Place for our wedding venue - it took our breath away from the minute we saw it and our guests had exactly the same reaction when they arrived on the day.

A key point for us when we were searching for the perfect wedding venue was that we wanted a house that was grand and characterful rather than stuffy and old. It’s a hard line to tread but Balcombe Place does it perfectly. If you’re looking to have a civil ceremony but still want the grandeur of a church, then this is the venue for you - the Drawing Room with the beautiful marble fireplace is stunning and created a real wow factor for our guests, especially with flowers adorning the top. We loved having the house for an entire weekend too, it meant that close family and friends could arrive on the Friday, settle in and truly enjoy the day on Saturday (and a good hangover-curing cooked breakfast on the Sunday!).

The Music Room was perfect for our wedding breakfast and evening reception. With beautiful wood panelling, a tall ceiling and huge bay window, light streamed in during our speeches and it felt truly magical. It’s a sizeable room but also not overwhelmingly so, this meant that the breakfast still felt intimate and got the party going with everyone dancing together in the evening.

We knew that by choosing a date in March we may have been subject to some miserable British weather, however we had a mini heatwave (19 degrees!) which absolutely made our day. We had drinks and canapes on the lawn and patio in brilliant sunshine. The team were fabulous at pivoting plans and shifting service from inside to out without batting an eye. We had our photographs in the grounds of Balcombe Place and made the most of the magnolia tree that came into blossom on the exact weekend of our wedding!

Grace was such an incredible person to work with whilst planning our wedding at Balcombe Place. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring that our day was as perfect as it could be, both in the lead up and on the day itself, was wonderful. Her calming and joyful presence was perfect for wedding morning nerves and evening celebrations. It was a pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic and considered lady; she is a true testament to the team and to the bright future of Balcombe Place. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her!

Overall, Balcombe Place was the most magical venue for our wedding. The team was incredible, everything ran smoothly and it meant that we could enjoy the day and soak up every minute.
