Hotel wedding venues in Sussex
The Old Rectory
Hastings

The Grand Hotel
Eastbourne
A great white wedding cake of a hotel, this Victorian extravaganza invites you to take a step back in time, to take tea or cocktails to the sound of the Palm Court Strings, dine in style and retire to a deluxe bedroom at prices that won’t break the bank.

Camber
The name says it all: a place to skip along Camber Sands, enjoy backgammon in the bar, chill in the garden or relax with yoga – and with no children to disturb the peace.
The George in Rye
Rye
In a picturesque medieval hilltop town, behind the street front of a Georgian coaching inn, ancient buildings are subsumed into one smart hotel.
