Spring Garden Nursery

The Gooseberry House at Spring Garden Nursery is pure magic.

Nestled in the heart of West Sussex, this stunning family-owned venue radiates warmth and charm. The family behind it are so kind, welcoming, and trusting — it truly feels like they’re sharing a piece of their home with you. The beautiful greenhouse is surrounded by “pick-your-own” delights — apples, raspberries, plums, runner beans — giving the whole setting a relaxed, countryside romance you just can’t recreate anywhere else.

We were married here in August, and the weather was glorious. The greenhouse itself was filled with lush greenery and trailing vines, meaning we hardly needed to add a single decoration — the space speaks for itself. We held our ceremony, wedding meal, and first dance all within the greenhouse, and as the sun set and our band played, it became the most magical, intimate setting imaginable.

It’s a dream location for an intimate wedding, overflowing with character and natural beauty. Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how perfect it was and how unique the atmosphere felt.

Ellie, the venue’s wedding planner, is a true gem. She coordinated every detail flawlessly, liaised with all our vendors, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Her attention to detail and calm, capable presence made the day stress-free and full of joy.

If we could do it all again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. The Gooseberry House is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of venue — perfect in every way.
