The Venue
Cowdray House
Welcome to the countryside of London! With 22 bedrooms, two swimming pools, and a bowling alley, we immediately fell in love with this venue completely sight unseen. We knew we wanted our wedding to have an elegant vibe but we also wanted it to feel like one big house party and celebration with our closet friends and family. After finally seeing this venue in person, we knew we made the right choice. Additional features to explore during our wedding weekend into a tennis court and over 100-acre of gardens (Alesha's favorite part). We are excited to share this space with you.
