One of Sussex's finest venues, undersold.

Stanmer House is a Grade I listed Georgian manor set in parkland on the edge of Brighton, ten minutes from the city centre. As a wedding and events venue it stands with the best in the South East — but the identity was dated, the photography inconsistent, and nothing online prepared you for what it feels like to walk through the front door. Danielle Palmer brought us in to fix that end to end.

Windows into Stanmer. The house has a circular window on its top floor — a spoked oculus looking straight out over the parkland. The venue's existing icon was already a segmented circle, drawn from nothing in particular. We redrew it to match the real window exactly: a wider aperture, a larger centre, the same eight spokes. A small change that grounds the whole identity in the architecture, and turns the icon into a device — a window onto whatever is happening inside, whether that's a wedding, a corporate day or a celebration of life.

A voice and a palette. Warm Sand, Stone Grey, Stanmer Green and Soft Brass, with a calmer, more confident tone of voice applied across the brochure, the menus and every piece of wedding collateral. Then a new website — warm off-white, generous type, the photography given room to breathe, enquiry-led and built mobile-first.

Real, never AI. The photography direction was one line: dramatic, shot for the light. A full day at the house produced 50+ finished images across every room and the grounds, wide frames at golden hour cut with close detail. The film comes from the same shoot, with vertical edits for Instagram and a logo animation drawn from the estate's own oxeye-daisy meadow — used across every social template.
