Cressie and Chris, Bride and Groom September 2024
It’s our last night in Provence and we are still playing over what an absolutely amazing day it was on Saturday! We felt so fortunate to be surrounded by our family and friends at Bignor to celebrate our marriage. As the rain clouds cleared and the sun shone over Bignor, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.
Thank you for making it so special, without you it would not have been possible.
Mother of the Bride Belinda, September 2024
All your support and help has made the whole process seamless and really enjoyable. I love that we’re all part of the Bignor Park family, it is the most spectacular place!
Georgie and Ian, Bride and Groom September 2024
We absolutely loved our wedding day. I’d worried so much about the weather, but the showers added atmosphere and in any event I realised how little weather mattered. We’d like to do the whole day again if we could, just as it was!
You have been so wonderful ever since we found Bignor and we are so grateful to you for making our dreams come true.
Imii and Ollie, Bride and Groom August 2024
Thank you for all your hard work and help throughout the planning of our wedding, and amazing co-ordination on the day. We had the absolute best time, and we have had nothing but amazing feedback from all our guests about the venue and how perfectly the day went!
We really can’t thank you and the rest of the Bignor team enough.
Harriet and Richard, Bride and Groom August 2024
We chose the venue because of the beautiful setting and particularly the option to have our wedding breakfast outdoors. We’d been to a wedding in Italy with a similar set up and couldn’t believe our luck at finding such a beautiful space for alfresco dining in the UK.
Another big selling point was Louise, the venue manager. From the moment we met her she instilled in us a great sense of confidence and we knew we were in good hands. She made sure we had everything we needed at every step of the way, was also there on the day and at our rehearsal the day before to make sure everything ran smoothly. She’s a real super star and made the whole experience a joy from start to finish.
Bignor Park is the most amazing wedding venue, it was the best day of our lives.
Zoe and Scan, Bride and Groom July 2024
Thank you for all your amazing help leading up to the day and on the day! It really was the best day ever. All the companies you recommended to me were just fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Nicky and Gary, Parents of the Bride July 2024
We wanted to say a huge thank you for what was just the perfect day. Feel hugely privileged to have our daughter marry in the grounds of your beautiful estate. Thank you especially to Louise for all her support.
Charlotte and James, Bride and Groom July 2024
We had the most magical day and it wouldn’t have been possible without you, so thank you for all your help and support to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.
Lesley and John, Parents of the Bride July 2024
It really was a glorious day, filled with love. The biggest thanks go to you, your talent of faultless communication, knowledge of expertise, detailed precision all delivered in a lovely friendly professional way.
A pleasure to celebrate the magic of a wedding in the quintessential West Sussex country estate within exceptional landscaped grounds overlooking the South Downs.
Rosy and Matt, Bride and Groom June 2024
We are still on a high from the wedding. It was simply perfect. Thank you for all of your guidance and expertise. Knowing we would have you, helping us and guiding us through the wedding planning process, really helped us make an easy decision in picking Bignor Park as our wedding venue. We are truly grateful for everything you did. I think our guests were quite taken aback by how beautiful Bignor Park is, we got a lot of compliments.
Fin and Tom, Bride and Groom June 2024
Bignor was the first and only venue we visited; we knew straight away it was the one for us.
The gardens are spectacular, and the views of the South Downs were perfect for a beautiful post-wedding drinks reception and lawn games. The quadrangle is such a unique space for food, and part of the reason we fell in love with Bignor as a venue. Our guests commented on it being like dining at a French chateau!
Louise is the kindest, most organised and classy woman we know. She was always available to answer strange and silly questions and provide expertise guidance and advice. She has such a great knowledge of trusted suppliers in the area and most importantly, she knows what WORKS.
Bignor is such an amazing place and has such a special place in our hearts. Thank you again for everything.
Lauren and Callum, Bride and Groom May 2024
We had the best day and the venue was incredible. The available space allowed for lots of different elements, we had the ceremony and cocktails on the loggia lawn, and we did the food in the stables. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the venue was, and it made for some of the best photos. The events co-ordinator was amazing and her hard work meant that the day went as planned, and it made the process way less stressful!
We honestly had the most incredible day, and we were riding such a high for so long afterwards!
Steph and Matt, Bride and Groom May 2024
We would like to thank you for providing the most special and spectacular place for us to celebrate our wedding. It’s funny to think back to our first visit to Bignor to meet Louise. The tour of the gardens and view from the South Lawn perfectly reflected what we had been visualising for our day, and we left knowing this is where we wanted to celebrate the happiest day of our lives.
The preparation beforehand was made easier by Louise’s advice and ensuring military precision with on the day timings. We would not ever have expected our luck with the weather – glorious sunshine and the Northern lights, but mostly the gardens and the view we had fallen for initially were even more breathtaking. There really is nowhere like Bignor Park.
Simon Biffen Wedding Photographer, February 2023
Always a fantastic wedding experience at Bignor Park! I returned last year for Georgia and Dan’s wedding on a beautiful day in September where they held their drinks reception on the lawns and the marquee was styled superbly. Louise and the team are great to work with, very accommodating and organised with great communication in the run up. With access to the stunning walled gardens and wider grounds, there are lots of wonderful spots to take the couple away for a few photos.
Look forward to shooting there again soon!
Georgia and Dan, Bride and Groom September 2023
We don’t quite know where to start with saying thank you, as you were truly brilliant. From the very first day we met, we knew Bignor was the place and you were the person to bring the wedding of our dreams together. The biggest of thank yous again for everything Louise – you were a STAR.
Mellissa and Mike Bride and Groom August 2023
We had just the best day possible – all aspects about the day met or exceeded our expectations, and that was also down to you. Your organisation and calmness helped the day go off without a hitch, so from the bottom of our hearts – thank you being part of the process!
Chloe and Sam, Bride and Groom July 2023
Our day ended up being absolutely perfect. We honestly couldn’t fault any part of it and we are still on cloud 9!
Becky and Nick, Bride and Groom July 2023
It was the most beautiful of days and we were so happy with how it all went! We’ve had a lot of great comments about the venue and the food! Thank you so much for all your help and guidance during this process. You’ve been incredibly helpful to us and we were always completely confident with your recommendations and advice.
Hannah and Matt, Bride and Groom July 2023
We have honestly had the best time not just on the wedding day but the entire process was so much fun! It was a shame the weather wasn’t on our side but they say rain on your wedding day is good luck so we now have buckets of that! Thank you so much for helping to make the day truly special and a day we will certainly remember for the rest of our lives
Clemmie and David, Bride and Groom June 2023
It really was an amazing day and all the suppliers and your hard work was simply on point. Thank you again Louise, we are already thinking about when we can next come back to celebrate. We really are so taken with the venue, it’s a magical place.
Cat and John, Bride and Groom June 2023
We had such an amazing time celebrating our wedding at Bignor Park, it was such a perfect day and the guests were in awe of the venue – the colour of Bignor House was very similar to our honeymoon hotel in Italy which made it feel even more special. We really couldn’t have done the day without your support, all your tips and advice helped make the day run so seamlessly and going down the ‘less is more’ route made it stress free for us – we just let the venue itself do the ‘wowing’ for the guests!
We really enjoyed getting to know you and having our wedding at Bignor Park – we’re so happy we were one of the lucky couples to get married there. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us.
Laura and Simon, Bride and Groom June 2023
Our day was even better than anticipated and it was truly the happiest day of our lives – all of the vendors we picked were fantastic and the weather package we chose was spot on.
We have also loved getting to know you and we wouldn’t have been able to put together such a perfect day without your help and incredible advice – you were amazing from start to finish. Feelings that are echoed from our family and friends. We will definitely be visiting Bignor again as it is so beautiful, how could we resist our habit of the last 15 months.
Wedding photographer Luke Hayden, February 2023
I photographed a wedding at this venue last summer and it’s now one of my favourite places to work. The grounds are amazing, and they have lovely lawns and a lot of space for large weddings. The staff are also great.
Daniella and Ben, Bride and Groom September 2022
The day wouldn’t have run smoothly without your supervision of every detail, so thank you. You have been amazing throughout the whole process and helped us bring our vision to life.
Abbie and Ed, Bride and Groom July 2022
Thank you for being such a support to us while planning our wedding and helping ensure everything ran smoothly on the day, we are so grateful! We will always have our happy memories from Bignor Park.
Lauren and Rob, Bride and Groom July 2022
Last Saturday was truly the most special and magical day – and we really can’t thank you enough for all you did to make it such a perfect day. We’ve had so many touching messages and comments from our family and friends who really couldn’t get over how beautiful the venue was – it’s truly a gem and we feel privileged that Ned and his family let their space out for weddings.
We feel exceptionally blessed that you come as part of the ‘Bignor Park package’. Our day really couldn’t have happened without your experience and infinite wisdom of running the day perfectly. We will forever remember the most wonderful day we could ever have wished for – which is really all thanks to you.
Caroline and Nick, Bride and Groom July 2022
The wedding was absolutely everything we hoped for and more. We were so lucky with how it came together, and all of our suppliers were just fabulous. We really couldn’t have done it without you and your amazing suggestions along the way.
Laura and Tony, Bride and Groom June 2022
We have been on such a high since the wedding, it was everything we could have hoped for and more and a lot of that was down to you Louise, we can’t thank you enough. We had an absolute dream day, everyone was blown away by Bignor house and the setting, as were we. Even the rain will be party of our story. It was the perfect mix of romance and party.
Kim and Liam, Bride and Groom May 2022
You have been an absolute dream to work with, and our day went far beyond our expectations of just how fabulous it could be. Both of us are incredibly grateful for your support throughout the planning and on the day. And the whole team behind the scenes prepping the gardens to perfection did such a fantastic job.
From the bottom of our hearts, a massive massive thank you. It really was the best day.

Right from our first enquiry Louise was welcoming and extremely helpful in working out what we needed and listening to our ideas to help create the perfect day.

The venue, the gardens and the surrounding landscape are beautiful and spectacular. It really is a magical place. Having booked our wedding at Bignor Park in April 2020, in the middle of the first lock down, without even visiting in person, you could forgive us for being a little nervous. We needn’t have been. From day one, Louise supported and guided us through every possible detail, leaving no stone unturned with her 10 years’ experience as wedding coordinator at Bignor. We felt in such safe hands and no problem or question was too small or insignificant for Louise to support us with. The day itself, too, felt like a breeze thanks to Louise’s dedication to ensuring everything goes to plan.

I am not sure we will ever appreciate how much work you put in as it all happened so seamlessly, we were thrilled with everything that Bignor offered and your relaxed attitude to everything was completely in keeping with what we wanted; you do a fantastic job there.’

‘Wow, well our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We have had so many compliments from our guests about the stunning venue of Bignor Park, and although we might be a little biased, we really do feel it’s the perfect setting for a wedding! We are so grateful for all your help and advice in the run up to the day. Bignor will always hold special memories for us and we really do feel privileged to have been able to celebrate our marriage there.’
Jo & Jimmy - Bride & Groom, June 2012
‘Right from the first day we came to Bignor I was totally overwhelmed by it and I just knew it was perfect for us. We wanted something unique and romantic that fitted with us and who we are. And once we had found it, you were all the icing on the cake. The way you run it and your attitude to us as a couple is not replicated anywhere else. You genuinely made us feel like Bignor was ours for a while and your generosity with letting us come there and bring our wedding party / photographers / florist etc. to show them around was so wonderful and made the whole process so much easier. Even with the biblical rain and all the craziness that came before and during it, I just don’t regret choosing Bignor Park at all. I tried to imagine myself somewhere else with different people in charge and a much more limited set of options and I just couldn’t. So rain or no rain, Bignor was still our dream. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support, help, patience, advice.. and for Bignor Park.’

‘Just a short note to say a massive thank you for allowing us to celebrate our wedding at Bignor Park. We thought the venue was perfect, and we thoroughly appreciate all the time and effort that went into the preparation. Luckily the weather turned out in our favour and, together with your beautiful grounds, provided us with so many wonderful photographs. We have no doubt that Bignor Park will be in great demand for future weddings.’

‘The venue did so much to make it special. The gardens looked absolutely beautiful – a testament to all the hard work that was put in, and guests enjoyed wandering around them with a glass of fizz in hand! Bignor Park is the perfect wedding venue – I cannot imagine a more stunning setting. You were also so kind and helpful along the way. You could not have been more generous with your time and welcomed us whenever we needed to visit in the planning stages. Many, many thanks to each of you.’
Sally – Bride, July 2010
‘I do not believe there is a more beautiful place to marry than Bignor. Imagine your ceremony taking place in the prettiest and most romantic of English gardens, with the birds singing and the wind blowing through the trees. Then onto the vast lawns for your reception, with acres of rolling Sussex countryside as far as the eye can see and the imposing house as a backdrop. We married at Bignor in the summer of 2010. It was like being in a dream. We loved the informality of marrying in a garden. We loved the ease of having a marquee in the grounds, so our guests and their children could wander freely. The owners of Bignor were a dream to work with. Nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend it highly enough. We didn’t want to leave and neither did our guests.’
Lucy – Bride, September 2007
‘Our wedding at Bignor Park was stunning. We took away with us some truly special memories and can’t thank the team enough for making sure everything on the day ran smoothly. We feel very lucky to have spent our wedding day with our friends and family surrounded by the beauty of Bignor Park.’
