Behind every great venue is a great team, and we pride ourselves on having one of the very best! When you book your wedding or event at Alfriston Gardens, you’ll be working with Janie and India in our friendly events team, who are supported by marketing manager Harriet.
With a background in working at other wedding and events venues, Janie and India bring a wealth of expertise and experience to Alfriston Gardens. “Everyone is welcome – we’re a totally inclusive venue, with a very sharp eye on exquisite delivery and excellent customer service,” says Janie.
Janie has been with Alfriston Gardens since it was being redeveloped into the stunning venue it is today, and has worked hard to create an unparalleled experience for everyone who walks through the door. “I was very keen to ensure the venue was truly bespoke, so every event is unique,” explains Janie. “It really is your day, your way – from a celebrant or hand fasting to a blessing, Morris dancers to grunge metal, harpists and jazz. Your event is as important to my team and me as it is to you.”
When you book a wedding or event at Alfriston Gardens, Janie and India will be with you every step of the way. “I love getting to know each couple personally and helping them through the planning process, then seeing it come to life on the day,” explains India.
“It’s wonderful to see the different ways our couples put their personal stamp on their weddings,” adds Harriet. “The barns receive a complete transformation, and this is always exciting to see.”
For Harriet, the skilful blending of contemporary and heritage in the Woodland Barn is her favourite part of Alfriston Gardens. “The Woodland Barn is simply stunning. Even without a lick of decoration it’s beautiful. You would never know, either, that it’s a completely new building, because the materials and design were carefully thought through to make it blend in with the adjacent Century Barn. I’m in love with all the exposed beams!”
