Farnham Castle Reviews
Firstly, the venue is out of this world, as soon as we pulled up on the open day we knew the venue was for us. Who wouldn’t want to get married in a castle.
Francesca was the first member of staff we met and without doubt sold us the venue, from then I knew we needed her throughout our wedding journey. I had so many questions and Francesca was there every single step of the way, we couldn’t of been more grateful. Her attention to details was outstanding! She was in charge of our whole day, organising our suppliers, our family and friends and of course looking after us. We truly cannot thank Francesca enough.
The food was to die for, all our guests were speechless at how amazing it all was. The chefs work so hard to provide you with no basic wedding food! Every single canape was beautiful and had people going back for more.
The venue speaks for itself, it is beautiful- the getting ready rooms, the grounds even the honeymoon suite. Do not hesitate to book this venue, if we could do it again we will be back at Farnham Castle.
Thank you again to Francesca and all the staff at Farnham Castle.
Organising the wedding was made so simple with our wedding co-ordinators, which made the planning process enjoyable and relatively stress free. They always responded quickly to emails or phone calls and were willing to discuss our requests for some other non conventional things thrown into the day. It felt like the team were invested in making our day unique and special.
The day ran so smoothly and went better than I could ever have imagined. The castle looked stunning with Christmas trees and fairy lights throughout. Getting ready in the gatehouse was perfect for me and my bridesmaids and we had plenty of space to spread out and get ready with breakfast, hot drinks and prosecco! We had about 100 guests which was perfect for the space, and we had so many compliments from them all about the venue. The food was amazing and exactly how it was when we went for our private tasting (the creme brulee is the best!). They are very responsive and flexible to all sorts of dietary requirements which made it stress free. There was plenty of overnight accommodation with a great breakfast included.
The highlights for us included the fairy lights and décor, intimacy of the venue, food, and getting ready space. Thank you to Farnham Castle for making our day so special. We would definitely recommend this venue!”
We loved that so many of our family and friends could stay at the venue with us and the breakfast the next morning was great. The getting ready rooms for both the bride and groom were fantastic.
Even with some light rain, the venue ensured we could have our wedding outside in the rose garden, which was picture-perfect, with the old keep in the background of our photos.
Our coordinator Gema was incredible at every step of the planning process and was calm, organised and professional on the day.
We would definitely recommend Farnham Castle to other couples getting married in Surrey!
Having quite complex dietary requirements, I knew straight away when I saw the food options that we would be in safe hands. At both the complimentary food tasting event and afterwards, Chef Simon went through in great detail with us all our food choices and we were so happy with how delicious it all tasted on the day and the canapes in particular got demolished almost immediately! We also opted for their newer dessert bar option which was a super fun and relaxed way to finish the meal.
There is no doubt that Farnham Castle is a stunning venue but what sets it apart from other places are the incredible staff, and attention to detail that they put into every aspect of your day. We would highly recommend Farnham Castle and it truly was a fairytale wedding!
