Greentrees Estate is located on 170 acres of rolling Sussex countryside and woodland. Set on the edges of both Cowdray and Brantridge Forests and easily accessible from London, Gatwick and Brighton, the estate benefits from an elevated position with far-reaching and open views across the valley to the west.
The Estate boasts a picturesque setting encompassing private woodlands, a serene lake, meticulously maintained lawns and enchanting gardens. It’s the perfect sanctuary of natural beauty, creating an exquisite backdrop for your special occasion.
Grand Oak Hall
As you pass through the walled arch and porch, The Grand Oak Hall, with oak beams, provides an imposing yet intimate atmosphere. With windows framing the walled garden, the Hall offers a backdrop for exchanging your wedding vows or hosting your wedding breakfast. The doors can be opened, allowing you and your guests to revel in the outdoor vista while still enjoying the comfort of being seated inside.
Whether you opt for a celebration within the Grand Oak Hall or a marquee for your meal, there are plenty of options for your reception.
The Walled Garden
The walled garden is a beautiful setting for your post-ceremony champagne reception. With blooming flowers throughout the year, it offers stunning backdrops for your portraits.
The Stable Bar
Get ready to party! The Stable Bar awaits in a separate wing of the Grand Oak Hall, providing the perfect space for an unforgettable party. With its fully stocked bar, the festivities kick off at 7pm, or even earlier if you’re eager to start. From beloved classics to premium selections, the choices are endless, ensuring everyone’s preferences are met. As the evening progresses, the vibe remains lively and vibrant into the later hours.
The Lake
The lake at Greentrees creates an idyllic setting for those considering a marquee. It offers a beautiful location for a drinks reception or sunset photographs. Situated within the Estate, the lake is easily accessible from the car park, so guests can make their way to the gardens, where your exquisitely prepared wedding breakfast awaits. Alternatively, you can host lakeside cocktail sundowners. The possibilities are limitless at Greentrees.
The Hidden Terrace
Located within the estate, the Hidden Terrace stands as the remnant of the original building. You will find this gem as you wander along the Orchard towards the lake. The terrace unveils the preserved chimney from the former farmhouse that graced the grounds of Greentrees. With a stained-glass window framed by wisteria, the hidden terrace is perfect for intimate private dinners or cocktail receptions. Alternatively, you can indulge in late-night pizzas prepared in the terrace’s pizza oven, all while taking in the views of the Estate’s grounds and the tranquil lake.
The Cottages
Greentrees offers eight quaint cottages that can accommodate up to 20 guests. Each cottage is thoughtfully designed to provide a unique experience, ensuring every guest feels at home.

Conveniently situated over the courtyard from the Oak Suite, this space has hair and makeup stations featuring light-up mirrors and ample room to accommodate your wedding party. The Treatment Room even boasts its own sauna, adding an extra touch of indulgence. And let’s not forget the wood-fired hot tub on the terrace, making it the ultimate haven!

We held our wedding at Greentrees Estate in October 2022 and we could not be more delighted with how it went! Our first point of contact was Gemma Cowell who looked after us from start to finish and constantly checked in with us to make sure everything went smoothly. Her colleague Harriet was also a part of the planning process closer to the big day.
When we first saw the venue, we were taken aback by how beautiful the grounds were and how spacious the wedding hall was. We had approximately 180 guests and there was room to spare. Moreover, we had the range and flexibility to be able to decorate the venue as we wanted. The on-site accommodation was clean, modern and incredibly practical and made for a very comfortable stay for us and our guests.
Gemma was approachable throughout the planning process and brought things to our attention that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of. We got some excellent recommendations for suppliers and some helpful advice that only someone with local knowledge would be able to give.
The day itself was incredible – Gemma and Harriet were there to make sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to make this the most wonderful day of our lives. No request was too big and no question too ridiculous. We were shown so much flexibility and they really worked their hardest to make sure everything came together. We honestly can’t thank these guys enough and would 100% recommend this venue to anyone who’s looking to throw an incredible wedding celebration!

Greentrees was the perfect venue for our wedding! Gemma and the team were absolutely fantastic on the day—super accommodating and quick to find solutions for any little hiccup that popped up. What we loved most was the freedom to decorate the space exactly how we envisioned, which made the day feel so personal and special. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a supportive, flexible team, we highly recommend Greentrees.

Incredible venue with the most incredible team. Gemma provided the most amazing on-the-day coordination for us. My husband and I will be forever grateful!

Greentrees Estate is the perfect choice for your wedding venue. We got married here on 17th June 2023. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning; you also get exclusive use of the venue from Friday until Sunday; it has the most beautiful bridal suite and the staff are the most friendly you will find. Unlike other venues where you get the impression you are on a wedding conveyor belt, Greentrees makes you feel special and looked after. Gemma saw us through the whole process and could not have been a better wedding coordinator. James and Harriet, who joined later to the team, were also incredible. They are a dream team.
We were particularly lucky to be able to feed the deer during the evening of our wedding. It was an experience my husband and I will treasure forever. If you are looking for a stunning venue, but with all the countryside feels.
We look forward to visiting again. Even if you are not getting married, the cottages on site are absolutely gorgeous, and we will definitely be using them for holidays and family gatherings.

We had our wedding here, and all we had were compliments from our guests saying how beautiful it was. The walled garden is amazing for after-ceremony drinks and has a wow factor. All the accommodation was perfectly furnished. All the staff (especially Gemma) were so helpful and understanding of the vision my husband and I had for our special day. I would 100% recommend having your wedding at Greentrees.

We first met Gemma on New Year’s Day 2022, and from the very moment we knew Greentrees Estate was the one! Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, our previous venue had let us down and no matter what other venues we visited, neither of them was a patch on Gemma and Greentrees Estate. For us, the venue itself was important however having a coordinator we could trust was equally as important, and we knew from the moment we met Gemma that she was special!
Throughout the wedding planning process the team at Greentrees Estate kept us informed, and really made sure we were on the right path. No matter what time of day or night, they were always on hand and super eager to help.
On the wedding day itself, we were absolutely blown away by Gemma and Harriet’s dedication and upmost commitment to make sure our day was perfect and that everything ran smoothly – and wow did they do that! Everything was perfect from the beginning of the day right up until we left. Gemma and Harriett did everything to ensure our day went to plan and really went above and beyond to make sure the day was special. There wasn’t a moment during the day where we felt like we had to think about anything, because all was in hand. All we had to do was enjoy the moment.
We will forever and always recommend Greentrees estate to any couple looking to get married. For us, people are at the core of a wedding venue, and we can honestly say you are in the safest of hands with the team at Greentrees and the venue itself is a dream.
We had our ceremony outdoors overlooking the lake, and it felt like a still frame from a movie. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather on the day, which just made it more special. We then had our wedding reception in the walled garden which again was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect setting for everyone to mingle and catch up after the ceremony. We then hosted our wedding breakfast and evening reception in the main hall and it just looked out of this world. We have made memories that will last us a life time and this was only possible with all the support, kindness and dedication from the Greentrees team. We couldn’t have done it without you all, and for this we cannot thank you enough. There really isn’t enough words to say thank you.
