21 Sussex wedding suppliers we love

Don’t you love weddings? Long laughter-filled days bringing family and friends together to celebrate LOVE. Ah! Of course, when planning your big day, it’s so important that your wedding suppliers - from your caterer to your photographer, venue to your dress designer or boutique - make up your dream team to work seamlessly to help you create the magical day you’re imagining.

We’ve put together a list of just a few of our fave Sussex wedding suppliers to inspire your very own I do crew - and also give them a wave, as we know that most of the hard work they do is behind the scenes and can often be overlooked in the build up to the big day!

The Secret Barn

Sussex barn weddings never fail to make us swoon and ‘dos at The Secret Barn, nestled at the foot of the South Downs, with paddock for camping, a lawn for daytime canapé-ing and night time toasting of marshmallows over the fire pit give us ALL the boho romance feels.
