Description
A Balcombe Place wedding can be a traditional fairy-tale or a wild and eccentric affair - maybe even a little of both.
A private home situated along a private drive, with far reaching views over landscaped gardens, Balcombe Place is ready for you to make your very own. There are no hard and fast rules here at Balcombe, we have some guidelines, but the beauty of Balcombe Place is that it is your home away from home, and therefore it is down to you how you use the space.
With an array of enticing suppliers at your fingertips, an open mind and an unrivalled support network we are ready to help you create a day that you will remember for your lifetime.
Balcombe Place has five main reception rooms, with a capacity of 20 - 120 guests seated together in one room.
We have seven exquisite bedrooms for you and your house guests to stay the night. A further seven bedrooms are being renovated over the course of this year.
Viewings are being accepted, and are by appointment only so please contact us to be one of the first to discover this extraordinary house.

- KKeli & Josh29/07/2019The perfect day!The perfect day!We hosted our wedding celebration at Balcombe Place on 25th May 2019, and it was simply perfect. We opted to be at Balcombe for the whole weekend, which made the celebration feel like a real family affair, and like Balcombe was home. On our arrival on Friday, we had a lazy family lunch, and then pottered around for the rest of the day, slowly preparing for the wedding itself, before all dressing up for a delicious rehearsal dinner that evening. The morning of the wedding, we were able to wander through each other’s rooms for help with zips, nails and eyelash extensions, and even have a last-minute rehearsal of the bridal party walking down the aisle! After our ceremony in a nearby chapel, the grounds were the perfect setting for our drinks reception, where we had various garden games on the lawn, and our guests milled unhindered throughout the ground floor rooms to the sound of a jazz pianist in the Main Hall. We had so much space which we could make use of, with the wedding breakfast hosted in the decadent Music Room with arches through to the Billiard Room, in the Drawing Room we had the cake cutting in front of the stunning fireplace, and later the hugely extravagant cheese station, and a quieter space to sit and sip coffee in the Library. Emma really went above and beyond, both during the planning, and on the day itself, which meant we could just sit back and relax, with absolute confidence and trust in her. We would highly recommend Balcombe and Emma to anyone wishing to host any event from an intimate affair to a much larger party!We hosted our wedding celebration at Balcombe Place on 25th May 2019, and it was simply perfect.
