About
Setting

Stansted House rests amidst nearly two thousand acres of the South Downs National Park. Its grounds feature sweeping views of open countryside and ancient woodland, offering a breathtaking backdrop for any celebration. This historic estate, once home to the Earls of Bessborough, provides an atmosphere of timeless beauty and elegance.

Ceremony

The venue offers a truly personal touch for wedding ceremonies, with options like the private chapel featuring a blue vaulted ceiling and stained glass or the lavishly appointed Music Room. Whether an intimate or grand affair, couples can exchange vows surrounded by historic elegance.

Reception

From the historic grandeur of the Blue Drawing Room, ideal for formal wedding breakfasts, to the expansive south-facing lawns, Stansted House accommodates both intimate and large celebrations. Guests can dine and dance late into the night under the open sky, creating lasting memories in a quintessentially English setting.

The venue’s classical Italian-style, west-facing main entrance serves as a striking backdrop for photographs and is an ideal spot to toast the occasion as the sun sets over the estate’s cricket pitch.

For larger gatherings or show-stopping parties, couples can take full advantage of the expansive lawns and the unique surroundings of Stansted House. The experienced team is ready to assist in creating an unforgettable experience for every couple.

Food & Drink

Stansted House’s in-house catering partners provide a diverse range of options, from exquisite canapés to comforting fish and chips. Whether it’s summer drinks served on the portico or mulled wine by a roaring fire, the team ensures every couple has the finest selection to suit their preferences.

“

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Stansted House, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our choice. From the initial viewing with David (Director) to the day after the wedding, the experience was truly exceptional. The house, chapel, and grounds are breathtaking and created a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. What truly set this venue apart was the impeccable service from start to finish. The planning process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to clear communication and meticulous attention to detail. Sasha (House and Events Manager) presence and support throughout the entire process were invaluable – she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our day was perfect. Her dedication was evident as she spent the day before our wedding helping us with setups and last-minute preparations, and was always there throughout our journey to answer questions and requests. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our wedding day perfect, and she succeeded beyond our expectations. On the day of our wedding, the staff continued to impress us with their professionalism and friendliness. Every detail was executed flawlessly, from the elegant table settings to the perfectly timed coordination of events. The day after the wedding was also just as enjoyable as the day of. We woke up to an exceptional breakfast banquet, all our wedding stuff neatly organised to take away/ cherish, and we were even lucky enough to have a ride around in a Rolls-Royce kindly organised by David (Rolls-Royce Rally the following day). If you are searching for a venue that will exceed your expectations in every way, look no further than Stansted House. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!
