As a Wedding Videographer in Sussex, I get to witness all kinds of celebrations – from big, bustling parties to the most heartfelt, intimate days. This November wedding at Field Place Manor House in Worthing was one of those beautifully personal ones. Despite the cold and cloudy weather, the warmth from the couple, their loved ones, and their tiny baby girl made the whole day glow. And when the clouds cleared just in time for the evening party, it felt like the sky was celebrating with them too.
Field Place: A Charming Venue in the Heart of Worthing
Field Place is one of those venues that just feels timeless. The historic manor house, flint walls, and rustic charm make it a brilliant backdrop for a romantic wedding. It’s got a cosy elegance that suits both big celebrations and more intimate gatherings – and it filmed beautifully, even with November’s moody skies. There’s something really special about how the venue transforms as the day moves from daylight into evening, especially when lit with fairy lights and sparklers.
Moments That Made the Day
This wedding had a real mix of emotion, fun, and surprise – which is exactly what I love to capture. One standout moment came right in the middle of the day when a group of singing waiters burst into song, catching guests totally off guard and creating the kind of energy that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget. Another unique twist? Passionfruit shots served during the ceremony. Yes, really – and honestly, it suited the couple’s fun-loving spirit perfectly.
Their baby girl was also a big part of the day. Seeing her cradled in the arms of her parents during quiet moments, or giggling with family, added a whole other layer of tenderness to the footage. She was a little star in her own right.
Sparklers, Fireworks, and First Dances
As the evening drew in, the temperature dropped – but the atmosphere was still buzzing. Guests lined up for a sparkler tunnel, lighting the couple’s path in a shower of flickering light. Not long after, fireworks went off behind the venue, visible just over the rooftops. It was unplanned, but perfectly timed with the start of the evening party – one of those bits of serendipity you couldn’t script if you tried.
The dancing kicked off shortly after, and the party energy carried well into the night. From the emotional vows earlier in the day to the laughter and rhythm of the dance floor, the whole wedding felt like one long, joyful heartbeat.
Why Field Place is Ideal for a Sussex Wedding
If you’re after a wedding venue that blends history, warmth, and flexibility, Field Place really does tick a lot of boxes. The gardens, the old manor house, the barn-style reception space – it’s all there, and it all works together beautifully. For videography, it’s a dream to shoot at – lots of natural texture and character, no matter the weather.
