Pelham House Wedding Video | Lewes Wedding Videographer

Tucked away in the heart of Lewes, Pelham House is a hidden gem that combines historical charm with a boutique modern feel. This Grade II listed building is one of my favourite venues to film at, offering a perfect blend of elegant indoor spaces and a beautiful walled garden for outdoor celebrations. If you’re planning your wedding here, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to stunning backdrops for your wedding video.

Getting Ready at Pelham House

One of the best things about Pelham House is the thoughtful layout for wedding mornings. The annex and separate getting ready room mean that both sides of the wedding party can have private spaces, while still being at the same venue. This makes it easy for me as a videographer to capture both sets of preparations - from bridal details and makeup touches, to the groom’s laughter with friends - without missing a moment.

With stylish décor and plenty of natural light, these spaces are ideal for relaxed, candid footage that sets the tone for your wedding film.

Ceremony Options

Pelham House offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony settings.

• The bright ceremony room is a blank canvas for couples to put their own creative mark on. Its soft light and elegant design make it perfect for filming those all-important vows.

• Outdoors, the wooden bandstand at the bottom of the garden creates a natural “end of the aisle” setting. Framed by greenery and with the walled garden around you, it’s a beautiful option for couples who love the outdoors.

Reception Spaces

For me, the highlight of Pelham House is always the grand dining room. With high ceilings, a sense of space, and elegant detailing, it’s a breathtaking place for your wedding breakfast. Later in the evening, it transforms seamlessly into a dance floor, giving your guests the chance to celebrate in style. The movement, laughter, and energy in this room always look incredible on film.

Best Spots for Wedding Videography at Pelham House

Pelham House is packed with stylish and unique features that make for unforgettable video moments:

• The famous cocktail bar – always a favourite spot. Many couples choose to climb onto the bar for photos and video (and yes, there’s a step ladder on hand so brides don’t need to worry about their dress!).

• The painted ceiling & floral staircase – stunning architectural details that look amazing on camera, especially when paired with creative angles.

• The floor-to-ceiling window – ideal for dramatic silhouette shots and intimate couple moments.

• The garden gazebo – tucked away at the bottom of the garden, it’s perfect for private, romantic footage away from the crowds.

Each of these spots adds a unique flavour to your wedding film, helping me tell your story in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and true to you.

Why I Love Filming at Pelham House

Pelham House combines history, style, and intimacy in a way few venues can. From emotional ceremonies to laughter-filled receptions, every part of the day feels special here. The walled garden is perfect for relaxed guest footage, while the interiors give me endless opportunities for creative shots. Whether it’s drone footage of the gardens, or capturing golden light streaming through tall windows, Pelham House always delivers beautiful, genuine moments on film.
