We had a beautiful wedding at The Bush Hotel

Initial appointment and viewing of the beautiful Bush Hotel was most helpful. The Bush offers so much in its central Farnham location, character, hotel facilities including delightful garden (enjoyment and photographs) sizeable car park, bar and reception rooms, vinted bedrooms ...

From the outset we had most enjoyable help and enthusiasm in developing our personal wedding plan.

A challenge for us was then being in NZ when we needed to find a suitable date for global family guests. Our wedding co-ordinator was most supportive on email and we returned to the UK booked and to inspirational ideas over coffee in our ceremony and banquet room at The Bush.

The managers involved took to heart our wishes and plan for the perfect day. Car park reservations made, everything in place, our Master of Cermonies was totally on it. He and the registrars dovetailed. Our music was absolutely timed to perfection. We exited to a champagne and confetti arch in the garden (MC suggestion, such fun and affording thr best wedding photographs).

Amongst the Annabel Rhododendrons and lavender we were then afforded a roped off area immediately outside our ceremony and banquet room.

We enjoyed great cocktails. I highly recommend The Hugo. Ooh and mouth watering canapes.

We were really delighted how our MC and the staff had set out the banquet room and by the superb service they gave us as the well presented and flavoursome courses were served. During which the hotel had supported us relaying on screen special photographs and playing poignant music.

We opted for later wedding cake and coffee which were so flexibly and charmingly served.

It was perfect having all our guests staying over. A few took early morning coffee in the peaceful garden before enjoying a very good breakfast.

Farnham then came even more into its own affording us a most enjoyable walk.

I can only say most thankfully to The Bush Hotel, its Manager and team we thoroughly enjoyed a most beautiful wedding day.

Truly amazing!

We got married at the Bush Hotel in March. Throughout the entire planning process the team were very responsive and couldn’t have been more helpful. Megan was an absolute godsend from day one. The staff on the day were also fantastic. Every single time we have visited we have been so impressed with how friendly the staff are. The food was excellent and we couldn’t have asked for our day to go smoother. Megan was an integral part of this. On the morning of the wedding, they ensured my husband had everything he needed. I would highly recommend this beautiful venue and the amazing team that came with it.

Beautiful Wedding at The Bush Hotel

My husband and I cannot recommend the Bush Hotel enough! From the moment of our first visit to checking out after the big day, we had the most wonderful experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, and all our guests said how comfortable and cosy it was. But most impressive are the staff who could not have done more for us and made everyone feel so welcome. The wedding coordinators are fantastic and the planning process was as effortless as it could be. The food and drink offering is varied and of such high quality, and the different spaces within the hotel were perfect for the different elements of our day. The location is brilliant, with plenty of rooms for all our guests to stay, and the transport links to London and airports meant it wasn’t a challenge for people to get there, compared to more out of the way options.
Do not hesitate booking the Bush Hotel, we will be forever thankful we did.

Could not have been better

My god did the Bush do a lot for us, we had the venue booked for near three years and across that time must have asked them a million questions which they always responded too with a clear want to make our day as special as possible. Communication was top tier and all the stuff were so supportive up to the day whilst those who worked the day did just incredible jobs. We could have asked for a better venue.

Perfect venue!

We knew from the first time we visited the Bush that we wanted to get married there. Not just because the amazing venue and options for weddings, but because we were made to feel so welcome by the team.
The lead up to the day was so relaxed and well organised thanks to Meg. We enjoyed our meeting to plan and everything we asked was always given a yes.
The wedding day itself was absolutely perfect. Things didn’t go quite to plan with the weather, but the adjustments made were done so smoothly and it didn’t make a difference to our day at all.
Everything was set out so beautifully and exactly as we’d imagined and asked for. The whole team (managers, events team, serving staff) were super friendly and helpful for all guests as well as us. The food and drinks were lovely and we wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you so much to all the team at the Bush, and big shout out to Meg. You really went above and beyond what I think is expected of hotels for weddings to help and make everything feel perfect and worry free.

Perfect in every way

We got married at the bush Hotel in July 2024. Now, nearly a year later, as we are reminiscing about the day we still feel so grateful that we chose the hotel as our venue. Everything was perfect from start to finish, not just on the day itself but in the organising and lead up too. Hannah and the event team were brilliant throughout. And the wider hotel team were also fantastic. Our friends and family still comment on what a wonderful day it was for everybody. We wouldn’t change a thing x

Milgrave Wedding - The Bush

We couldn't recommend The Bush any higher. When we met with Hannah over a year before our wedding, there was something about her that put us entirely at ease and we knew almost immediately that we wanted her to be in charge of our wedding day - and we couldn't have been more right.
Everything in the initial show around, the run up to the wedding and the day itself was just perfect. Hannah and her team were fantastic, positive, with a full 'can do' attitude to just about any curveball we threw their way. Their accommodation to many changing features of the wedding - made the whole process incredibly easy and if we could do it all again we absolutely would.
On the weekend of the wedding, the servers and hosts were incredible, from every duty manager we dealt with to every bartender and server throughout the weekend- we were made to feel incredibly special and looked after and we couldnt be more greatful. A particular shout out to Cara as well for being a pure joy the whole weekend whenever we ran into her, saving all our prosecco corks for keepsakes and ensuring our guests were well looked after.
We had such a wonderful day and would truly recommend any Surrey-based - or those further afield - who are looking for a chilled venue, accommodation for guests and the best party venue all wrapped up in one package - thanks to everyone and we can't wait to be back again soon!

The Bush Hotel is a beautiful hotel with a lovely courtyard garden and stunning wedding banquet room in a very accessible location. From start to finish the service, communication and support made this a wonderful venue to enjoy our day. We couldn't fault it!

5 Star Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We only viewed one venue for our wedding and during our viewing at The Bush Hotel, it was love at first sight. I knew it was where we're gonna be celebrating our wedding. Nothing was ever a hassle during the planning process. Hannah was very responsive, as well as the rest of the team. And on the day of the wedding, we had top notch service from all the staff from The Bush. Shoutout to Francesco, Kash and Megan for running the day really well. They made our best day THE best day. It went as smoothly and hassle free as possible. The spaces were big enough for 85-100 pax. The food was also great and our guests loved the food so much! Nothing but thanks and praises to the team behind the beautiful The Bush Hotel! ♡

A wonderful day!

Hannah and the team at the Bush Hotel were outstanding. They were super helpful with all of the planning, super easy to get hold of and communicate with, helped us think of things we wouldn't have known to think of and generally made the day run smoothly. The atmosphere was great, it was good value (for a wedding!), the food was good and it was so great to be able to have everything in one place: ceremony, reception and accommodation. Plus there are still different rooms available for different parts of the day so it didn't feel stagnant either. My only very small gripe was that I wish we had spent a bit more time on discussing decor / atmosphere of the dancing space as we needed a bit more space for our specific situation (we had a salsa class for our entertainment and the layout of the tables was a bit of a hinderance) and I would have preferred some vibier lighting. Those were minor things that I am sure Hannah and the team would have easily accommodated if we had known we wanted them (sometimes you don't know until you are in the moment!). Overall highly recommend. A day we will remember for the rest of our lives. Can't wait to visit for our 1st anniversary meal (included in the package!). Thank you!

Outstanding wedding venue

The perfect wedding day. Staff were all brilliant, food was amazing and the Redgrave room was a brilliant place for the evening party, spacious and private and allowed to go on until 01:00hrs.
Hannah’s (wedding organiser) organisation leading up to the day and throughout was outstanding, always making sure she could do what we asked for and making sure our big day was as special as we imagined it.
