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.

We are also delighted to share that Leonardslee Wine Estate has been named a finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards 2025. This honour reflects our commitment to creating exceptional experiences and unforgettable celebrations for every couple who chooses our estate for their special day.

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 canapés 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!

The Vineyard Hotel & Fullers Cottage

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.

Additional accommodation is available with a 17th-century cottage on the grounds, offering 4 bedrooms (sleeping 8 people).

The Wine Estate

In June 2024, the family will be launching highly anticipated English Sparkling Wine. Be among the first to enjoy a glass of bubbles from Leonardslee Family Vineyards, grown and produced at the Estate for your wedding day.

Take the chance to capture beautiful wedding imagery amongst the lush, green vines that sweep across the valley of the vineyards.

As a family-run venue, the team pride themselves on hospitality of the highest standard — including flexibility, precise organisation, and the delivery of a wedding day that you will forever look back on with the fondest of memories.
