Nestled at the foot of the South Downs and the famous Firle Beacon, private estate Firle Place, set in its own extensive, glorious grounds, is three miles from Lewes and nine from Brighton. There are trains directly from Brighton and London into both the nearby stations of Glynde and Lewes.
Firle Place is a beautiful private estate and historic house that offers a unique venue for on-site wedding receptions and civil ceremonies that can be held in a number of locations. Choose from the stunning courtyard, which is perfect for an al-fresco style service or The Great Hall, a historic room with an impressive Van Dyke painting, a huge fireplace and Tudor stone floors.
For the wedding reception, the Georgian riding school and croquet lawns, a majestic, listed building, and adjacent grounds are a wonderful space that has it all. Complete with a spectacular fairy-lit ceiling with exposed oak beams, cascading fairy light wall, soft white drapes, bar structure and blackboard, expansive grounds and croquet lawn and a quintessentially English lakeside setting. There is also a bohemian-feeling 18th-century herb garden and orchard, which is perfect for drinks and photographs.
Thank you Bryony and all at Firle Place for working so well with Gemma and I to create the most perfect wedding day. As soon as we visited Firle, we knew this was the venue for us, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. The house, the grounds, the Riding School, everything is perfect and Bryony as a wedding coordinator is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She is so organised, and her relaxed and positive attitude played a huge part in our day running so smoothly. If you are thinking of booking Bryony and Firle Place for your wedding, don’t think, just do it!

Firle Place has been my dream wedding venue for so many years and my wedding day exceeded any expectations I could ever have. From the very beginning Bryony was absolutely brilliant with everything; always on the end of my emails (of which there were definitely a lot!) and even during a global pandemic kept us calm and knowing that we were in good hands. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and at no point did it feel like a “covid” wedding, most of this was down to Bryony.
We were also lucky enough to stay in Blue Door Barns after the wedding which was a wonderful end to the day, gorgeous rooms and a brilliant breakfast to wake up to as husband and wife – I couldn’t recommend Blue Door Weddings enough!
What can I say! The ladies and Firle Place were fabulous. The venue and grounds are just stunning and I am still in shock at how beautiful our wedding day was. Bryony and Chloe are fantastic. They really are seasoned professionals and it shows in how easy they make the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We chose Bryony to be our on the day management for the day and it really took the pressure off of us. I would highly recommend this service. We are still pinching ourselves that it was actually our wedding and I cannot recommend the venue and blue door weddings enough. A million thank you’s always, we will never forget!

What can we say – we had the most perfect wedding day at Firle Place’s Georgian Riding School. From the moment we met Bryony we knew we were in good hands. She was fabulous from start to finish, from helping us to plan (and then move!) our wedding during covid to provide amazing advice on how we could create our perfect day. She was very communicative, relaxed, friendly and lovely to work with, and made the day run without a hitch. We can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her and the beautiful venue.

Firle Place is absolutely stunning and the different areas lend itself perfectly to a Wedding. The flexibility that you offer is fantastic, in comparison to other venues, you gave us the opportunity to create the day exactly as we wished. We could not have wished for a better day and Firle was the perfect setting.Thanks again, you were amazing!

We loved the flexibility of the venue, they let you create exactly the day you want in the way you want. We got married in the courtyard which was so beautiful, it felt like we were in Italy! We loved how there are so many different spaces to move to throughout the day – making the day varied without having to organise any transport. Bryony and Chloe are so helpful, troubleshooting on the day and making everything run smoothly. They even helped us facilitate two alpacas to come and celebrate with us…! Overall, Firle was such a huge part of making our day so sensational. The feedback we got on Firle from our guests was incredible, people told us it was the best venue they’d ever been to – and we know of at least one couple who have now booked Firle for their wedding as a result of ours! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Firle to anyone.

Yes you can in a variety of locations dependent on the size and style of your wedding.
Never, we provide absolute exclusivity on the day of your wedding so that you can feel the private estate is all yours.
Absolutely. We just ask that live bands finish by 11pm and then other unamplified music by midnight.
