Weddings
Welcome to Milwards, our much-loved family home. We are a rural venue set in the natural beauty of the East Sussex countryside; we strive to promote a healthy, relaxed and friendly atmosphere for all our guests to enjoy.
Milwards House dates back to the early 16th century and is a spectacular example of the architecture and craftsmanship from this period. The main entrance hall and reception rooms have true historic charm, boasting original features such as the vaulted ceilings, open fireplaces, a stained glass window and a sweeping staircase.
Our coach house is licensed for weddings and civil ceremonies for up to 60 seated guests plus 5 standing or you may choose to have a much larger ceremony held by our lovely lake. The ceremony room with exposed wooden beams and a very unusual twisted chimney, combined with the natural light allowed from the large French doors create a stunning place for you to exchange your vows.
The well-established gardens with a multitude of ornamental trees and shrubs, rose beds and herbaceous borders can help create a brilliant photogenic backdrop. There is a large circular Koi pond with a fountain which is the perfect place to greet your family and friends and enjoy canapés with welcoming drinks.
Our lakeside marquee situated on the lower lawns has views across the 5-acre lake and offers comfortable seating for up to 200 guests. It is the perfect place to enjoy your wedding breakfast service and to continue celebrating your wedding day with friends, family and loved ones.
