50th Birthday Celebrations
Venue Service
By Alan Betteridge, on 10 Jan 2018Date of Wedding - 16 Dec 2017
We booked Frensham Heights for my 50th Birthday celebrations. I must say, the venue, service, food and all the staff were fantastic! We had a tribute act and a live band for the evening entertainment. They were looked after equally as well, which is very important when booking these type of acts.
Although we didn't have a sit down dinner, we were recommended "bowl food" mid-evening, for when our guests were getting hungry.......everyone loved it! No one complained there was not enough. The presentation and quality of the food was first-class.
The venue itself is lovely, and the views out the back are incredible. Thank you Frensham (in particular Kerry), we are looking for an excuse to hold another party already!
Thank you!!

Arnell wedding, September 2017!
Venue Service
By Clare Arnell, on 08 Oct 2017Date of Wedding - 02 Sep 2017
My husband and I (!!) got married at Frensham Heights in September 2017. We were originally drawn to the beautiful setting and choice of grand, spacious rooms to get married in. As we were having a civil ceremony and reception in the same location, we wanted somewhere with flexibility and the ‘wow’ factor. Frensham Heights had it all, and when we met Kerry Guy, coordinator at the venue, we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Kerry was fantastic and really helped the planning process to go smoothly. She was always on hand to answer my questions and concerns, and did everything she could to make sure our day was perfect for us. We had seen other lovely venues, but they didn’t seem to offer quite the personal and bespoke service that Frensham Heights does. Added to this, the food was exceptional and we received lots of compliments on the quality of the wedding breakfast, many saying it was the best meal they’d had at a wedding! We were also able to have fireworks and confetti without any problems, and found that the exclusive weekend hire meant we had plenty of time to set up the day before, and return for one last look the day after! One of the greatest benefits of Frensham Heights, in my opinion, is not only the beautiful setting, but the wonderful interior too. No matter the weather on your special day, you will have beautiful photos indoors and out. If you are considering Frensham Heights as your wedding venue I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!
Lovely venue, grounds and food

I found this venue on Hitched and immediately liked the building and grounds which were spacious enough to cater for the large party we had (130) without needing to erect and pay for an additional separate marque. The view from the gardens are amazing and we loved the walled garden which is where we had our blessing. We were also impressed by the competitive pricing for the catering (wedding breakfast) versus other venues we had looked at. Kerry Guy was on hand from the start to help us plan the big day step by step and the venue was flexible to our needs and vision for the event. The food actually exceeded expectations and we have several complements from guests on the food. Chris the chef was fantastic and despite the large party was very consistent in presentation and detail orientated. Great job - thank you very much to all who helped make it such a good day.
Purton Wedding
Venue Service
By Lisa and Ross Purton, on 10 Mar 2017Date of Wedding - 27 Aug 2016
We got married at Frensham Heights in August 2016 and had the most perfect day! The venue is a beautiful building inside and out. I cant thank Kerry Guy enough who helped us have the best day ever, she helped us with every little detail that we hadn't even thought of, always made us feel relaxed, and I love the fact that Frensham Heights allocate one wedding per weekend, which meant we could come into the venue from the Thursday before and prepare to get things ready for our wedding on the Saturday. I would also like to thank Kate who was our wedding planner, who took all our plans for the day in hand, which made our day even more perfect.
Kerry and the teams flexibility set them apart from other venues we visited which made it our special day rather than one that was chosen within the strict constraints that certain venues seem to adhere to, we really felt we were in control of our own wedding.
Perfect venue for our summer wedding
Venue Service
By Lorien and Adam Robinson, on 19 Sep 2012
Frensham Heights was the perfect venue for our Summer wedding. From the initial visit Kerry Guy ensured we felt a top priority. We were able to view the venue a number of times to make decisions, taste dishes and discuss ideas. All our requests were met and our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to the professionalism of the staff. Philip Locklyer was on hand to help throughout the day, whilst maintaining a discreet presence. The stunning grounds and views of the Surrey Hills allowed our guests to enjoy croquet and drinks on the lawn as well as being the perfect setting for our wedding photos. Inside the venue the Ballroom was perfect for our sit down meal as well as providing a dance floor for our evening disco. The Drawing Room was ideal for those who wanted to sit and chat more quietly and the Long Gallery allowed all our guests to watch us cut the cake alongside a live pianist playing the grand piano. After the wedding any forgotten items were stored safely until we could collect them. We have received such positive feedback from all our guests and I would definitely recommend Frensham Heights as a wedding venue to friends.
Perfect venue
Venue Service
By David Laraway, on 14 Sep 2011
We knew this would be our venue from the outset. The building stunning and views are stunning. Kate and her staff are organised and communication between all parties was excellent, everything was made so easy and took out a lot of the stress of the arrangements. They are a really good crew and Kate knows her stuff. Nothing was too much trouble and their list of reliable companies took a lot of leg work out of preparing for our perfect day. The food they supplied for the Wedding breakfast was exceptional. We still have guests comment on the dishes and that’s over a year after the event. The dishes were better quality than many top end restaurants and Chris the chef is a marvel. The tasting afternoon was a highlight of the arrangements process. TIP – skip breakfast on tasting day. We tasted a range of canapés and dishes and then took some time to choose our preferences. We provided our own wine and Champagne but that was our choice as Frensham can get whatever you want. The rooms inside can accommodate all your guests and there are some great photo opportunities by the huge stone fireplace, on the stairs against the dark wooden panelling or the Wedgewood style drawing room. Every penny spent was more than worth it and the whole event was excellent value for money. Our guests were as thrilled as we were and have even sent us letters of thanks for being invited to what they have called the best wedding they have ever been to. If you choose this venue you not only get the stunning venue but much more.
Beautiful venue, wonderful staff
Venue Service
By Mat and Clare, on 28 May 2011
Mat and I had a wonderful wedding day in April, which was not least down to this fabulous venue and the hard work of all their staff. Kate Seaton and her team were so helpful both ahead of and on the day, being accommodating to our requests and ensuring that everything ran like clockwork.
We were blessed with fabulous weather and our guests loved the reception drinks in the stunning grounds. But if it had rained, we are sure they would have equally enjoyed drinks inside the elegant long gallery.
We also received many compliments on the food, which was beautifully prepared and the chef was very accommodating of any special requirements our guests had.
All in all a very special venue, which we would recommend to anyone.
A special day made utterly magical by superb staff and a fabulous setting - choosing Frensham Heights was the best decision we could have made.

Frensham Heights wowed us at first sight – romantic, gracious and versatile accommodation, all beautifully appointed, stunning views, with sole use of all these superb facilities – wonderful! But it was Chris Hull and his team who made Ginnie daughter and Steve’s wedding the talk of all our guests and utterly perfect in every way. From our first meeting, it was wholly evident that making it so was as dear to Chris’ heart as to our own, and we were never given cause to think otherwise throughout all the preparations. He afforded the same attention to our grand overall plan as to our tiniest details, guided us gently using his considerable experience when we had need of his input, and kept everything wonderfully co-ordinated and on track. Nothing was too much trouble – a great can-do approach. Regular meetings at our convenience, a delightful food-tasting session to finalise the menu and efficient communication kept confidence high. On the wedding morning as Ginnie and bridesmaids dressed in the exquisite bride’s room, Chris showed us the beautifully-prepared ballroom, whilst calmly and efficiently co-ordinating final deliveries and services – I relaxed totally! Arriving from church, Chris was both everywhere and nowhere – his keen eye and highly-trained staff ensured everything was taken care of most professionally and unobtrusively, yet nothing was overlooked. Weather iffy? Reception inside or outside? No problem – Chris had every eventuality covered. The wedding breakfast was superb thanks fabulous Chef and team! and with subtle direction all elements of the entertainment flowed seamlessly one into the other until the end. It was utterly magical. How to put a value on that – simply priceless! Our thanks are boundless.
PS from FoB On the financial side, all dealings were very straightforward and upfront, with no hidden extras or surprises in the final account – how refreshing and reassuring!
Superb attention to detail

Our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to Chris Hull and his team. So many of our guests commented on how delicious all of the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Chris was so professional and so prompt at replying to every little email of query of which there were many - he must have the patience of a saint! Every detail was thought of and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for making our day so special.
