Leonardslee Wine Estate

Wedding Venue in West Sussex

The feel

Nestled in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, only a short distance from Gatwick and with city links to London and Brighton, Leonardslee Wine Estate is a truly enchanting wedding venue.

Once a family mansion, this picturesque manor house has a unique and welcoming atmosphere ideal for a country wedding.

The top terrace is offered on an exclusive basis for you to enjoy your canapes and refreshments, overlooking breathtaking views in the warmer months. During cooler months, the beautifully decorated Wine Lounge provides an opulent reception space with comfortable sofa seating and soft copper lighting, creating an intimate and romantic space to enjoy with your loved ones.

The Latilla Campbell banqueting suite has bi-folding doors to create a partition, allowing you the option to adjust the size of the space depending on the numbers within your party. High beamed ceilings, adorned with twinkling fairy lights set the wedding scene beautifully, with large windows overlooking the surrounding grounds.

With a dance floor and bar inside the room, you will benefit from creating a high-energy atmosphere in the evening hours to party the night away!

Home to 9 brand new, beautiful en-suite bedrooms within the venue for you and your guests to enjoy, from standards to deluxe to suites, there is something to suit everyone. Rates include breakfast with your overnight stay, allowing you to extend your wedding weekend and see your guests the following morning to reminisce on the previous day’s celebrations.
