The Bell in Ticehurst

We can’t speak highly enough of how great our wedding was. Tessa, our contact in the run-up, is an efficient, lovely, friendly and caring girl – an absolute star.
 Chloe, who ran the show on the day, kept it moving along perfectly and was brilliant in ensuring the day was smooth and hitch-free (apart from the getting-hitched bit!). 
Matt and the rest of the team grafted away tirelessly and were brilliant both on the day and with the gentle service at breakfast the next morning!
 Jorge and Oscar, the Colombian gents at front of house and in the kitchen – awesome food guys, thanks so much.
 And the rooms are stunning, unique and lovely. 
Thank you so much, we’ll never forget you!

It’s difficult to know where to start other than to say that The Bell is the PERFECT wedding venue. There isn’t one thing we could fault: from the very beginning Tessa, our coordinator was fantastic (if you’re reading this – thank you again!), the venue is so charmingly quirky, the accommodation is wonderfully luxurious, the staff (especially Hannah and Eve) were the pinnacle of helpfulness and professionalism – oh, and every guest we spoke to said it was the best wedding food they’d ever tasted! They really did everything to ensure it was the best day of our lives and if we could get married again we’d choose The Bell every time in a heartbeat!

I could not recommend The Bell enough!! It was the perfect chilled out, relaxed venue for our Wedding of the Century! Our guests still tell us how fabulous our day was and that it was hands down THE BEST WEDDING they had ever been to. Tessa is incredible, couldn’t do enough for us and was super patient with my constantly interfering parents! Tessa and her team made sure we had everything we could need and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We would happily do it every year if we could! Thank you guys, we can’t wait to see you again soon.

We cannot thank you and every single member of the team that was on duty over the weekend of the 21st September enough, for your hard work, dedication and impeccable attention to detail. We (and every single one of our guests that we have spoken to since) were blown away with the level of service that we received. In fact, both Tasha and I have discussed on several occasions now, how it feels as though the team at the Bell were just as much a part of our wedding day celebrations as our loved ones were, in making the day as special and memorable as it was! So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!! Quite simply, we would recommend you guys in a heartbeat and so too, would all of our guests! For you are all marvellous!

Five stars does not seem nearly enough for this wonderful venue and dedicated staff team. Getting married at The Bell was a magical experience. The Bell itself is unusual, exciting, historical, quirky, romantic, dramatic, cosy and comfortable. The Wedding Co-Ordinator and the team were meticulous about every detail to ensure that we were able to enjoy our special day. Nothing was too much trouble and the service was second to none. We stayed in the Love Nest on our wedding night and enjoyed a wonderful cosy breakfast in the morning. Our guests were so impressed with the venue, service and food; we were grateful that our guests were able to enjoy the day almost as much as we did!

We had the perfect wedding at The Bell. Everything leading up to it was carefully covered by the lovely Tessa and the day itself couldn’t have gone better for us, helped along by the tireless Chloe and the rest of the events team. It went like clockwork and many, many of our guests have commented on how much the venue contributed to our day. We’ll be back time and again. Thanks, all.

Dearest Tessa, Pip, Zoe & Team, Our Wedding day was perfect and it was purely due to your love, care and amazing service. Thank you for dealing with our demands, harsh words when stressed but most of all, the care you took with us and all our guests.

We kept hearing The Bell mentioned as a wedding venue so threw it into the venue pot mix at the last minute, only to walk round it and know straight away that it was just perfect for us. We loved its quirky style and the intimate feel of it. The fact the whole wedding party could stay on site was a bonus but we also loved having the outside space as well as inside. We have had so many comments from everyone about how much they loved the venue and that the food was stunning – which it was. Tessa was an amazing wedding coordinator and the day just ran so smoothly. I would highly recommend this wedding venue to any prospective bride and groom.

The venue is wonderfully quirky with the most amazing little details. A personal highlight for me was being introduced as husband and wife and walking the length of the table to ring the bell! The food was first class and my guests frequently congratulated me on finding such a beautiful venue and on the quality of the food. I cannot recommend the Bell highly enough. It is a wonderful, beautiful, fun venue with staff that will make your day absolutely unforgettable. We will never forget what the Bell and all the staff did for us on our special day and The Bell will always have a special place in our hearts!

My husband and I were married at The Bell on December 10th. The Bell was the first wedding venue we looked at and we knew straight away that we wouldn’t need to look at any more! I can’t really put into words how grateful we are to everyone there – from Tessa who was so quick (and always so friendly) to answer any questions we had throughout planning, to Pip and Hannah for whom nothing was too much on the day itself (including trying to get red wine out of my wedding dress), to the amazing chefs who left our guests feeling very satisfied! So many of our guests have commented on how brilliant the venue was – the whole day had such a cosy and relaxed feel to it, although nothing is quite as cosy as the wonderful Love Nest.

We fell in love with The Bell the first time we visited and once we were engaged we knew we had to get married here. It is a unique venue that met all of our requirements and more. Tessa was always available to help with our preparations and answer all of our questions no matter how trivial. They were able to meet all the dietary needs of our guests. The food was incredible and is still a talking point amongst our relatives and friends. The team were fantastic on the day providing an incredible service with everything running flawlessly. The list of suppliers The Bell provided was very useful. Those we used for our wedding were fantastic, meeting and exceeding all of our requirements. We will recommend The Bell to everyone, thanks for making our special day so incredible.

We got married at The Bell in Ticehurst on 3rd March 2018 in the snow! It was absolutely magical. The Bell is such an amazing and welcoming venue with so much character. The staff were fantastic and the day ran so smoothly, we had nothing to do except enjoy our day. The accommodation is of a very high standard, classy and cosy, and the food was stunning. Our wedding was intimate and memorable, I can’t wait to go back to The Bell for our first anniversary to relive our memories.
