Our Unique Wedding Packages Make Your Day Truly Yours
At Southdowns Manor, we bring your vision for the perfect wedding to life
When you finally say ‘I Do’ and begin your journey as life partners, it should be the most exciting and meaningful day you’ll ever experience. Many people dream of their perfect wedding, but few get to turn that dream into a reality.
Well, that’s about to change.
Southdowns Manor is a multi-award-winning wedding venue in the heart of the South Downs National Park. We offer our guests the opportunity to have the wedding they want and celebrate their special day in their unique style.
Not everyone wants the ultra-formal wedding with a set menu, and our three specialist wedding packages are ideal if you’d like to put a personal stamp on your day.
With three exclusive packages to choose between, we fit our venue around your needs – not the other way around.
It’s time to make your wedding day yours, and we can help you to do just that.
Choose from three packages at our unique wedding venue
If you’re looking for a wedding that suits your personality, you’ve come to the right place. Formal ceremonies and receptions are lovely, but they’re not for everyone. Perhaps you want a more rustic setting for your wedding, or you’re a fan of small gatherings with just close family and friends.
