Our dream wedding!

From our very first interaction with the team on our first viewing, from the booking process through to the planning of our big day, it was all fantastic.
We were very lucky to work with Gema as our main wedding planner, totally unflappable, calm, organised, all over the detail.
Our wedding day in the stunning venue, bathed in spring sunshine, was delivered flawlessly. We cannot think of one thing we would want differently. Food, service, team, drinks, venue - all 10/10.
Thanks so much Farnham Castle, to Gema and indeed the whole amazing team we interacted with. You literally gave us the best day of our lives.

The most perfect wedding day at Farnham Castle

From start to finish our experience with Farnham Castle has been impeccable and one we will never forget. From initially visiting the venue to scope out how it would fulfill our needs to being assigned a wedding coordinator who supported us so hugely during the planning stages and into the day to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly.
We could not have wished for a more perfect wedding day and our forever grateful to the whole team at Farnham Castle for making it such a perfect day for us.
We highly recommend you consider this venue for your big day - the setting is incredible and allowed for such amazing pictures both inside and outside. We have had many compliments from our guests on the canapes, wedding breakfast and pizzas in the evening - the food and service was of such high quality.
Thank you so much to all the team. We are forever grateful to you for giving us such a special wedding day.

Couldn't have asked for more!

We couldn't have asked for anything more from Farnham Castle; the whole team were absolutely amazing and we had so many compliments from our guests. Our food was devine and the day went so smoothly, we didn't have to think or worry about a single thing. If you want a spectacular venue, with amazing food and service that will wow your guests then look no further than the magnificent Farnham Castle!

Lovely venue with fantastic staff!

Farnham Castle was great from start to finish! They helped us through the entire process and were more than happy to answer all our questions - online, over the phone and during our pre wedding meeting. The venue itself looked stunning, both inside and out. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were great. Laura, our assigned wedding specialist, was brilliant! She made sure everything ran like clockwork - we didn't have to think about a thing. She had everything under control and even made sure we didn't miss out on canapes, drinks etc. There was a good selection of drinks at the bar and the service was speedy. We had the best day and would thoroughly recommend Farnham Castle!

The perfect venue

Farnham Castle was THE perfect place to get married. From the stunning location, to the incredible food, to the kind and thoughtful staff, everything went like a dream and was exactly how we imagined it - or maybe even better.

Everyone we spoke to was incredibly supportive and positive and put us at ease, answering all of our questions, making useful suggestions and providing their expertise on the smooth running of the day.

When the day came it was seamless, with the staff at Farnham working tirelessly behind the scenes all day to ensure our guests were comfortable and our vision was enacted.

We cannot recommend them enough!

What a great day!!

While we were only a small group and very much out of season…
The castle put together a great package for us and worked around all our little quirks and demands!
As for the day itself I just sat back and waited for them to tell me what to do and when. It was really relaxing and everything went according to plan and everyone had a great time - we thought it surpassed our expectations.
Food- fabulous.
Setting - fairytale .
Service- second to none.
We all stayed over and had a great breakfast together the next morning.
A wonderful occasion!

Beautiful Venue, poorly organised

The venue is beautiful, the setting is superb. But sadly we ended up being turned away the day before after being promised we could set up, to be turned away but the lady in charge. Our co ordinator was mortified as she was told we could. The same lady shouted at us when we told her we didn’t want a decoration that wasn’t confirmed in writing with our coordinator, or charged for.

The food was amazing, the views incredible. They try and be flexible but the organisation was so poor, we were chasing them constantly for confirmation. Also having to triple check bills as they were often wrong.

I would say if you love the venue, go for it, be prepared though to do a lot of the heavy lifting and also no support.

Farnham Castle's reply:

We are extremely disappointed to read your review, Katherine, as we had been led to believe that you and your guests had experienced the most wonderful wedding at Farnham Castle. You thanked us as you departed the venue, and no issues were raised prior to, or during your celebration, which would lead us to believe that you were in any way unhappy.
We received the message below, from a close family member:
“Dear Weddings Team at Farnham Castle,
I attended the wedding of K&M on 29th February.
I am also one of the ladies who did the flowers.
I just wanted to write to thank all the staff who were specifically involved with helping us before and during the wedding.
In particular, Anna and Malakhi deserve special mention. I observed them working tirelessly during a very long day and reacting to altered circumstances due to weather or specific unexpected requests with good humour, calm demeanour and efficiency.
Also congratulations to the chef and kitchen team. The food was truly excellent and the service slick, especially given the mass catering required.
I am pretty sure that all the guests plus the bride and groom had a great time.
Thank you all,
Best wishes”

Our aim is to offer stress-free weddings, and with this in mind, our team work in the office 7-days a week. We were always available to support you.

The Best Day

We got married at Farnham Castle on 27th May and they made our day so special. The venue is absolutely stunning & we were so lucky to have fab weather. Our wedding planner, Jodie, was amazing! She replied to all of my emails/requests so quickly and made everything as simple & easy as possible. On the day, all of the staff were great. So tentative and professional. Jodie handled everything and made my entire vision come to life. The day ran SO smoothly and I think that was purely down to the team knowing exactly what they were doing. We had so many compliments about the food, some guests saying it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding.
The gatehouse is such a perfect place to get ready in & the groom also made use of their new room for him & his groomsmen to get ready. The bridal suite is stunning & it was so nice to have guests stay over and have breakfast together the next morning.
It was by far the best day of our lives and we would like to thank everyone at Farnham Castle for making it so special!

A Wonderful Wedding Weekend

We would like to sincerely thank you and the entire staff for the wonderful wedding weekend we held at Farnham Castle on 7th March, 2020.
The entire event was extremely well organised, the food was wonderful and of course the Castle provided a rich and historical setting for the celebrations.
We are still looking back with excitement and fond memories at the many photos and videos share from the day, and our international guests talk about the fantastic time enjoyed by friends and family. Thank you once again.
