Thank you so so much for everything. We really did have a truly special time; I couldn't have wished it any other way and everything was absolutely perfect. You've asked me to provide constructive feedback and I honestly cannot provide any. You were so helpful and accommodating, the staff were wonderful and everyone went out of their way to make it the best day ever! Even the breakfast the next day and having our own room (with covid-secure measures in place) - we weren't expecting that and it was a lovely surprise to come down to.

It was a frosty last day of November, Christmas trees were lit and log fires burning, the night before my wedding felt like Christmas Eve. Our wedding venue was a idyllic hotel (Deans place Hotel) in a Alfriston village, where I stayed the night before with my mum and 2 twin sisters. We wondered to The George pub and had the most wonderful meal by a log fire. We all then got into our pjs and watched Mumma Mia. I woke at 5am wide awake. Next to me was my sister who was also awake. We had butterflies in our stomachs so excited whispering about our day ahead. When my other sister and mum woke, we went for our champagne breakfast. It was a perfect start to our special day. Getting ready was a busy but fun morning. Surrounded by make up artists (Ebridger Mua) and hairdressers (Unique hair and Beauty), My 2 year old daughter Eva was having a ball. Out my window I could see my future husband holding our 4 year old son Harrison and I felt a huge surge of love for him and my family. And I couldn’t wait to be his wife. Getting into my wedding dress (pronovias atelier, ilari) was everything every girl dreams off. That moment of truth, praying it fits like a glove, and it did. Every feeling I expected, my Cinderella moment. The bridesmaid wore a floor length, gun metal grey gown from AX Paris and groomsmen wore a navy tailed suit, hired from The Ozone, Brighton. I walked down the Isle with my 6 bridesmaids, my daughter and my dad. It’s all a bit of a blur but our wedding photographer (Scott Wright) captured every moment and we have watched our video over and over. I can’t recommend enough getting a video of your special day. Photos are special but a video really makes you re-live every moment. Our gentle giant dog was the ringing bearer. He was wearing his navy suit to match the men. And did a great job. Our wedding day was December 1st 2017. It was cold but a beautifully sunny day. We were lucky to have our wedding photos taken outside. Which is where we decided to throw the confetti. It was picturesque. Our wedding breakfast food was heavenly. And we had arranged a surprise of singing waiters (warble entertainment). They were one of our highlights of the day. They performed at the end of the breakfast, the moment when your guests have eaten and drunk maybe a little to much. And they really got the party started with table dancing and napkin throwing. They were just fantastic. Our evening guests arrived at 7.30pm. They added a new energy to the day. Our band were truly amazing. (Indie Killers, Warble entertainment) They were again up on the tables and crowd surfing and the dance floor was packed the whole evening. We ended the evening with sparklers outside and lots of singing it really felt magical, and our winter wonderland wedding felt just perfect in that moment.

Our wedding was slightly different and included a close family dinner one night, followed by an afternoon tea with more people the next day. There was potential for it to get a bit confusing but the team were beyond amazing at coordinating everything and making sure everything was spot on. Nothing was out of place and everyone had an amazing weekend. Deans Place really deserve to win and I can not rate Katie and Jo highly enough.

Chelsey and the team at Deans Place were just amazing. Chelsey had everything in control which left us to just enjoy our day with family and friends! The whole day couldn’t have gone any better. Beautiful surroundings, October wedding the sun was out the leaves were changing colour. Just perfect!

Deans Place Hotel is a great venue with a beautiful friendly and welcoming vibe as you walk in and feel right at home. The picturesque East Sussex Downs provide a perfect backdrop to the hotel and the grounds are lovely for your photos too. The food is exceptional and the Alfriston Suite was a great spacious room where all our guests could mingle without feeling crowded. We had 110 for the daytime and another 40 in the evening when the room was transformed into a magical evening reception. The next morning, the team arranged for us to have breakfast with all our friends and family who stayed overnight. This was a nice touch so we could say thank you to our guests for coming. I cannot recommend the team and venue strongly enough. Everything was super special. Huge thank you to Jo and her team.

Deans place hotel was the first (and only!) Wedding venue we visited. As soon as we arrived we knew it was 'the one' with its warm and friendly welcome, cosy, intimate yet special and grand feel as well as it's beautiful setting. The staff could not have been any more helpful and accommodating through the build up, the big day and after! Our day went without a hitch, our family and friends shared with us what a great day they had (a lot of them ended up in the pool after our wedding breakfast, the weather was glorious). Our wedding was the day of dreams, we couldn't have wished for more!

We had the most special day at Deans. Nothing was too much trouble and we had so many compliments on the beautiful venue. We were able to provide accommodation for guests that had travelled a long way and it was wonderful that we could have all of our family together. I can't speak more highly of this amazing venue and its staff!
