Saltcote Place Rye Full Description
We are not taking reservations after 2023, Love cannot wait, if it's fun and this year let's talk. We want to hear your plans and your story, it's always great to have a chat and plans that take 3 years to hatch are usually pipe dreams without commitment, we are not sales people, we are realistic and we make magic happen. Each month we receive hundreds of requests for packages and brochures from people who may think we are a hotel which we are not. We offer our home for Weddings and Celebrations because we enjoy it. Please do get in touch using that phone it's a lot more fun to have a chat before coming to see us.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Paul
We look forward to speaking with you, we don't have a "Manager" here, as it will be myself and my Partner who will look after you personally. This is our home, if you read the reviews you will see we get it right. In our grounds we can have marquees for up to 250 guests or we can create more intimate weddings in the house for a wedding breakfast for up to 45 guests. Children are welcome.

An excellent venue, perfect for a very special day.
I attended the evening reception for Paul and Gemma Barlow's wedding lasy year at Saltcote Place. The whole experience was exceptional and we had a fantastic evening. Great company. Great service. A really memorable evening, with fireworks with the backdrop of the whole of the Romney Marsh. I've only just set up a Tripadvisor account, so wanted to share the experience.

Saltcote Place saves the day!!!!!
Saltcote Place literally saved our day!!!! And, has been one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. We were originally meant to get married at the George in Rye on 21st July 2019 but due to the unfortunate fire that took place in the early hours - our wedding got called off!!! You can only imagine our disappointment and when we thought there was absolutely no hope of our wedding going ahead, an angel appeared, Paul the owner of Saltcote Place and agreed to host our wedding! We dried our tears, got our glad rags on and told our very disappointed guests that our wedding was ‘back on’!!! What an amazing couple, Paul and Alan of Saltcote Place are. We would like to thank them for their kindness, calmness and generosity of opening up their home to host our wedding. What an amazing setting Saltcote Place is!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better venue with such gorgeous views of the Sussex downs and great staff! The place is just magical. Both the interior and exterior are breath-taking. Ps: Alan your breakfast is to die for and big kiss to Auntie Shirley too.Thank u so so so much for making our dream wedding come true through your kindness! This is an experience that I fully recommend - if you want to stay somewhere truly special and be pampered and spoilt.......Saltcote Place is the venue where dreams come true.

Beautiful Saltcote saves the day!
The wonderful Paul and Alan saved the day after my best friends wedding was cancelled the day before due to a fire. They stepped in and offered their stunning home. They are amazing! It was perfect. The setting was idyllic. Paul and Alan couldn’t do enough for everyone. After the total devastation of the fire, the boys were calm and made a tragedy into a romantic fairytale. The house is out of this world, beautifully manicured and immaculately decorated. Look no further for a wedding venue. They will make your dreams come true.

Wedding and Family Gathering
Saltcote Place is such a magnificent venue to hold any event BUT was made especially memorable for us for our Wedding weekend. The majority of our guests have already written their revues and commented on the exceptional level of hospitality and professionalism of the staff and venue setting. So we would just like to add our thanks to Paul and Alan (the owners of Saltcote) for their fantastic attention to detail and total commitment. I can only urge anyone looking for their ideal Wedding/Birthday/Family/Business event venue,don’t waste your time looking anywhere else in Sussex, give Saltcote Place a call, go and meet Paul and Alan to discuss your event requirements and then look forward to a fantastic and unparalleled result.

A wonderful location for a wedding.
My son and his new wife could not have picked more more beautiful venue for there wedding. We stayed for two nights, it was all very relaxing and friendly. The views were amazing. Super breakfast. And the service was first class. The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Can highly recommend Saltcote Place.

Best wedding venue!
I'm not really sure how to start with this because there are just so many wonderful things to cram into this review. From the moment Ed and I met Paul and Alan last September when we came to see Saltcote Place for the first time as a potential wedding venue, we fell in love with everything. Of course Saltcote Place is stunning, the views are unrivalled and the rooms are luxuriously decororated with exquisite taste, but what really sealed the deal was Alan and Paul. Their knowledge and humour put us instantly at ease and we knew straight away that our wedding was in excellent hands. Fast forward nine months, several visits and plenty of emails and we arrived at our wedding weekend which exceeded all expectations. All of our guests commented on the beautiful location, the sun came out and we were treated to the best weekend of our lives. Paul and Alan were everywhere, checking in on us, looking after our guests, following up on our late band, ensuring the caterers were on top of everything and making everyone feel like nothing was too much trouble. Turns out Alan is a devil on the dance floor, Paul is just the kindest person I've ever met and them both as a team are a completely unstoppable force. Thank you for all you did, we will be forever indebted, but I do hope you had as much fun as we did! Xx
