The perfect venue if you love food and need a wedding coordinator who knows what they are doing!
Out of a large number of venues contacted, Emily was the ONLY one who actually took the time to create a personal quote. This made me think she could be the one to help me navigate the crazy world of Wedding management.
As it was my first wedding, I had many strange questions and requests. Emily was always there, quickly answering the phone or email. Honestly, there aren't words that can describe how wonderful this woman is! I never felt stupid or annoying; only supported.
The food!! Oh the chef is amazing and listens to your requests. He even made a very tasty menu for the most tricky of dietary requirements that pleased those special guests!
The day ran so smoothly! No issues! No complaints from the guests! And how could they find fault!? Emily and her team, which included Herbie and Lorna, ran the day and evening with such professionalism and experience!
Emily was always there for a supportive hug and huge contagious smile that just puts you at ease.
To say I wish I could get married here every month to experience the amazing food and such friendly, professional people, just doesn't do the place justice.
The bridal suite is the perfect size to get ready the day of. It consists of the main bedroom at the top of the mezzanine and at the bottom, a lovely large living area with pull out sofa. I would only request a phone to be put in so you can contact reception when you need more water or prosecco - heehee.
There is loads of parking, including electric car charge.
The garden isnt huge but beautiful with the gazebo and views over the fields plus a lovely area to set up garden games!
The ballroom was the room that really caught me, with its subtle 1930s decor. It was the perfect size for the ceremony and breakfast.
I liked that even though you dont have sole access to the hotel, you never are concerned that other guests will crash the area as you have the far left 'wing' of the hotel which has its own access to the bar, ceremony room and even the hotel rooms. So you get that feeling of being 'cut off' from other guests.
In summary, Emily and her team helped me make one of the most important days of my life, not just special, but magical. I am grateful to them and cant wait to go back in 5 years to renew my vows!! -

Our wedding
Right from the start of booking the wedding date, we can not fault Emily and her team are the Hogs Back Hotel. They went above and beyond our expectations. The wedding day was a dream, with so much care, dedication, and professionalism. Any special requests were no trouble for the team. We feel honoured that they were part of our special day.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a wedding venue. -

A fantastic venue and team for a wedding!
We had the best time here for our son’s wedding. We stayed the night before the wedding and the wedding night and it was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff, food and drinks were fabulous. Emily looked after us leading up to the wedding and on the day and she really did go over and above for us. We all said we wish we could do it all again! We would definitely recommend this hotel for any celebration. -

Hogsback is a picturesque spa and hotel perfect for all family and friends to celebrate with you. Kids loved the pool and everyone loved the fantastic view. Restaurant food was delicious.

The perfect day
We hosted our wedding reception at The Hogs Back Hotel in October 2024, and it was the perfect day!
We booked our wedding with six months between engagement and the big day and we were concerned that we would struggle to plan alongside our full time shift working jobs and daily life with the children, but we really need not have worried.
We seemingly looked at every hotel in Surrey and Hampshire, and The Hogs Back Hotel by far offered the best value for money and the most included in the package price. They make it so easy!
The service we received from all of the hotel staff, but particularly Emily has been nothing short of exceptional.
The venue is beautiful, clean and modern and perfectly complimented our very neutral colour scheme. Most of our guest stayed over the night and were given a discount code to use for a discounted stay. The following day we were given private use of the garden room for breakfast and we all enjoyed a swim together in the spa which made a whole weekend of it for us which was lovely.
The food was exceptional and all our guests commented the same, both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet.
From booking to wedding day we couldn’t have been looked after better by all of the staff and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Hogs Back Hotel more to any couple planning their wedding. We couldn’t be happier!

The wedding of our dreams!
We really cannot speak highly enough of our experience planning and having our wedding at the Hog's Back Hotel & Spa in Farnham this September (2024).
Our wedding coordinator Emily was friendly, courteous and organised from the very start and was receptive to everything we suggested. Nothing was ever too much for her - and the same goes for the staff at the Hog's Back as a whole - and her communication in the two years leading up to the special day was fantastic.
We are Disney lovers and Emily ensured this shone through on the wedding day, helping to decorate the room and tables the day before and we were so impressed with how punctual the venue was with setting up and the process of the day itself.
Our guests spoke very highly of the venue, its staff and especially the food! If you are foodies like us, this is the wedding venue for you. The chefs are both incredibly talented and flexible, catering to a range of preferences and allergies. Our meal on the day was so good - we have even had guests tell us they are trying to recreate the French Onion Soup they had for their starter!
The hard work of everyone involved here was clear to see and in the likes of wedding coordinators Emily and Helen, you are in excellent hands!-
