Not only is the venue perfect for a country wedding, there is a fantastic team associated with Dorset House who will ensure that your day is amazing. Susan Quinn's overall planning and catering is second to none, loads of our guests said the food was the best they've had at a wedding by miles and her help and assistance throughout meant that we had no "wedding stress" at all. Natalie, the florist, made everything look stunning and the other members of the staff helped out immensely. There's no need to look elsewhere for caterers and florists.
If you're after a country wedding, Dorset House is the venue and the team that work there will ensure you get exactly what you want. They did for us!"

Dorset House - Wedding Venue in West Sussex
The Great Barn at Dorset House is a gorgeous Country House Wedding Venue near Pulborough in West Sussex.
Built in the Tudor period, this delightful wedding reception venue is situated in the pretty village of Bury on the South Downs and set in 40 acres of beautiful medieval gardens with views over the River Arun.
The barn is constructed from half hammer beams with a purpose built dance floor, open log fire, and massive doors opening on to the gardens - perfect for summer or winter weddings.
The Lower Garden adjacent to the barn, with terraces down to the river, is wonderful for photographs.
A unique feature is the Amphitheatre. As a setting for outdoor blessing, with guests seated on the stone
terraces, this is unrivalled. On the other side of the manor house is a very pretty Walled Garden, with
medieval steps and many other photographic gems.
Licensed for Civil Ceremonies and Partnership Ceremonies.

Testimonials
| "I am a teacher at Dorset House school and when the children are away it transforms to a magical and charming place. Susan Quinn is a highly commited professional and her management, team, food and organisation are second to none. She fully supports the bride and the needs of the bridal party ensuring that you are happy and you have everything you need. I get the opportunity to view a lot of weddings as I live in the Manor House with my husband. We regularly hear comments from guests or visiting 'brides to be' saying how gorgeous the venue is whilst they stand at the willow pond looking at the Manor and Barn. I am very honoured to be living and working at such a very special place in West Sussex. I hope that you will come along and share it with the rest of us. You'll fall in love all over again."

| "Our wedding day really was the best day of my life. The venue was magical, the catering and service second to none and the flowers so beautiful that they made me cry! I only wish it hadn't gone by so quickly and that I could do it all over again!" Joanna & John |
| "Dorset House provided us with the perfect location for our wedding. It's a beautiful manor with attached barns, lovely gardens and fantastic views. Set at the end of a little lane and in an amazing location. One of the things that worked so well for us was being able to have the ceremony and reception in the same location with no driving between the two. Although Dorset House is a school it does not feel like one at all and there are no visible signs of anything "educational" and it has the advantage of all the facilities for catering for large numbers and is fully child friendly. Not only is the venue perfect for a country wedding, there is a fantastic team associated with Dorset House who will ensure that your day is amazing.
