Left it a bit late or just need to move quickly then we can help with last Minute Weddings in East Sussex
We have availability in 2024 and 2025 for small and intimate celebrations and much larger Weddings. Preference will be given to those who give us a call and share some details.
We have our own Marquee which is fortunate since most marquee companies are reporting very limited availability as a consequence of the Covid roll over.
This means that smaller more intimate Ceremonies are far more popular.
You choose from just the two of you up to 200 guests and we can help arrange your wedding quickly and without fuss.
You can get married here, host your Wedding breakfast, evening function and then stay here.
We have always preferred a rollover to cancellations so the current situation with regard to Covid cancellations have not impacted us or our Couples.
As a large private home and and not just another public building offering back to back Weddings we prefer to speak with our couples and to make the entire process as relaxed and personal as can be. If you would like an early check in, a late check out and a lot of fun then do give us a call.
We have an enviable reputation for being responsive when it matters the most.
Waiver – Reduction of statutory waiting period
This is available in case health issues or other urgent situations prevail.
The Marriage Act 1949/Civil Partnership Act 2004 state that once notice has been given by a couple, a period of 28 days must expire before the marriage/civil partnership can be permitted to proceed. There is a provision in the Acts for the 28 days to be reduced in exceptional circumstances, this is called a wavier.
A waiver can be applied for at the time of giving notice or at anytime during the 28 day waiting period.
There is a consideration fee payable to the registration service when applying for a waiver on top of the usual notice fee. The fee is non refundable and does not guarantee the waiver will be successful.
No two weddings here are ever the same. Therefore, We do not offer ‘packages’. We prefer to work with you to develop an entirely bespoke arrangement. We never run weddings back to back.
Give us a call – we require at least 5 days between celebrations. This is to ensure that all staff are at their best and our Couples are not rushed. This ensures we can deliver the most amazing Celebration for you.
Saltcote Place Videos
View the elevated setting and secluded grounds, you will notice we are a very short walk into town and that we offer plenty of parking from where the video starts.
The extensive lawns and formal gardens offer intimate space for your wedding pictures and more than one Bride has been invited back a few days afterward to retake a few magical pictures.
You are welcome to pop along with your photographer in advance of your celebration to plan how some of your memories will be captured.
Your Guests
12 to 14 of your Guests can stay at Saltcote. Within a few minutes walk, we have enough accommodation for another 100 within a few minutes walk.
With midweek Celebrations there is no requirement for guest accommodation.
The Rye Bay area is always a popular place to stay, at the weekend’s good accommodation can be at a premium. We strongly suggest you make your plans well in advance to allow your guests adequate time to make their arrangements. We will be pleased to help where needed.
Often a midweek Wedding will reduce your costs and make it easier for guests to find suitable accommodation. If you are having pre-wedding meals the local restaurants will be more able to offer you exclusive use.
We can help you arrange transport to return your guests to their respective accommodation as the Celebration winds down and vehicles can be left here overnight if needed.
The day after your Celebration it may be an idea not to rush off but to have a BBQ or tea party in your Marquee? It’s a magical way to share memories in a relaxed way before heading off on your new life together.
Wedding Packages – really?
Wedding packages are offered by hotels and Wedding factories.
We prefer the joy of assisting you to develop your dreams. Hence, providing support where needed. And ideas if you want them. Certainly at Saltcote, you are not restricted to “packages”.
We probably have the best catering and events team in place. They will work within your budget to develop the bespoke celebration you dream of.
