A romantic celebration set in the heart of historic Lewes
Nestled in the East Sussex countryside, Pelham House provided the perfect setting for Rhea and Ryan’s timeless wedding. This stunning 16th-century townhouse has been beautifully restored into a contemporary luxury venue, blending its Georgian heritage with elegant modern interiors. From the moment guests stepped into its manicured gardens and took in the majestic view of the house from the lawn, it was easy to see why this exclusive-use venue holds such charm.
For Rhea and Ryan, Pelham House was love at first sight. They were drawn to its unique mix of period architecture and chic styling, where every space from the serene ceremony room to the beautifully curated bedrooms offered an effortless blend of romance and refinement. But it was the view of the grand townhouse from the gardens that truly captured their hearts.
Having known each other since secondary school, Rhea and Ryan’s love story took root long before they ever imagined exchanging vows. They reunited in 2016 during a night out with friends, and their connection quickly deepened. Shared laughs turned into long conversations, and weekends turned into years. In 2022, Ryan proposed in adventurous style at the top of Brighton’s i360. Despite Rhea’s fear of heights (and a few glasses of prosecco for courage), she said yes, setting the stage for the elegant celebration they had dreamed of.
Their wedding was a reflection of everything they value: family, authenticity, and effortless style. They chose a neutral palette to keep things timeless and elegant, allowing the charm of Pelham House to shine. Their first dance, a beautiful cover of “You’re Still the One” by Jada Facer, was a tribute to their journey together. It spoke to the strength of their bond and the path they have walked since becoming young parents.
Now, with two beautiful children by their side and a day filled with heartfelt moments, Rhea and Ryan have officially begun their next chapter. Their wedding was a celebration of love that stood the test of time and a reminder that the right person often feels like home from the very beginning.
