Sporting greats: Say 'I do' at Duncton Mill Fishery

Duncton Mill Fishery is a beautiful waterside venue in West Sussex. Rustic and tranquil it is encompassed by the glorious Sussex countryside. Blessings can take place anywhere on the fishery, with the most popular site being the little island. This can play host to 80 of your nearest and dearest or 100 if they are standing. Plus, the bride can pass through the lovely willow arch to make her grand entrance. 

The beautiful lawn leading down to the lakeside marquee is lined with lanterns, as is the jetty, also decorated with jam jars filled with hedgerow flowers. Wooden bistro tables and chairs sit outside the marquee, together with hay bales for additional outdoor seating. This reception venue can accommodate celebrations of any size from intimate gatherings to larger weddings of up to 150. 

The oh-so cute rowing boat named Rosie, can bring the bride to the area chosen for the blessing, but the most popular option is for the newlyweds to be taken by Rosie from their vows to arrive at the jetty in front of the marquee to be greeted by their loved ones. What’s more, guests can enjoy boat rides around the lakes through the afternoon until dusk – a great way to spend a summer’s afternoon. 

One of the most appealing aspects of this venue is the clean slate it offers. Couples are positively encouraged to bring their own suppliers on board from catering to styling, enabling a completely bespoke wedding day.
