Stanmer House offers you a truly romantic setting for your celebration, located in a picturesque country park, with wonderful photographic opportunities all around.
We can help you to create a fairy-tale Wedding Day at Stanmer, in a relaxed and friendly setting, which you and your guests will love.
Stanmer House is in the Brighton & Hove Registration District, and we are able to offer you the unique opportunity of holding your Civil Wedding or Civil Partnership Ceremony here, in addition to your reception*.
We offer you a choice of rooms for your Ceremony, ranging from the small and intimate, to our main function rooms in which you can seat larger number of guests. For warmer weather, you might wish to consider holding your Ceremony outdoors in our grounds. Stanmer House allows Ceremonies on any day of the week, including Bank Holidays, but the law requires that it should take place between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm.
If you wish to marry by Civil Ceremony at Stanmer House you must contact the Superintendent Registrar of the City of Brighton & Hove on 01273 292016. They will advise you as to their availability and fees, and the legal process you need to follow.
Stanmer House Wedding Rooms
Stanmer House offers a range of rooms for you to choose from, depending on the number of guests you plan to invite, and the format you would like your special day to take. All of these rooms can be used for Ceremonies, Wedding Breakfasts, Drinks Receptions or Evening Parties. We are happy to advise you as to the combinations which would work best for your particular requirements.
The Lobby
The entrance hall of Stanmer House offers a grand setting for your Wedding. It is an ideal location for offering your guests a welcoming drink, or perhaps even turn into a dancing area in the evening.
