Dream wedding venue

We had our dream wedding at the Faversham.

We wanted a venue which had the capacity to host 100 day guests and around 150 evening guests while still feeling warm and intimate. It fit the bill perfectly. We also wanted a venue which was accessible from Leeds, yet still felt a step away from the bustle of the city. Again, it was perfect.

But what we really loved about the Faversham, which made it such a dream, was the incredible menu (a wide variety of beautifully cooked sharing platters), the elegant, yet unstuffy interior, the brilliant party space, allowing for a six piece live band and plenty of guests on the dance floor, and the most professional yet warm and friendly wedding planners and staff we could have hoped for.

Many things were included in hire of the venue: all of the furniture, glassware, cutlery, linen, assortment of jars for flowers and garden games. We barely had much to do in terms of decoration. And you should definitely check out the toilets - they are amazing!

My husband and I had no idea on where to start with wedding planning, so our wedding planner Jess guided us with a template order of the day to get us started and made helpful suggestions along the way. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly, keeping us relaxed in the run up. A big thank you to Teo, Deb and Alex who managed our wedding day and made sure that everything went to plan.

There is a bridal suite available at the Faversham where my bridal party and I got ready. We had breakfast included and arrived at 8am in the morning to teas, coffees, fresh pastries, fruit and Prosecco. It was the perfect start!

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a better venue than the Faversham and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a Leeds based venue.

The Best Wedding Day

The Faversham was absolutely amazing from start to finish throughout the planning of our wedding. All the staff were so friendly and so helpful on the day, we honestly couldn't fault the service in any way. They were so catering towards us and our guests - so much that our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible the day was.

A special thanks to Teo, as she went above and beyond to help us have the most wonderful day. We bombarded her with so many questions, but she was always so quick to respond and reassure us. She was brilliant on the day and ensured our wedding ran as smoothly as possible while liaising with all our suppliers. She kept us updated throughout the whole day, making sure not to bother us with questions or problems so we could just enjoy ourselves. Our day couldn't have been possible without Teo.

We highly recommend The Faversham to anyone looking for wedding venues. It is such a beautiful venue and gave us the most unforgettable experience. Thank you!

- Jess and Ka Wai

Fantastic venue for a wedding party! - 27.09.25

We chose the Faversham for our wedding party after a civil ceremony at Leeds Civic Hall in September. WHAT A PARTY! we wish we could go back and do it all again! The venue is beautifully decorated throughout and matched our vibe perfectly!

The team were very helpful through our planning and made sure our day ran smoothly with very little stress! Would definitely recommend. The canapés and street food we chose were amazing and went down a treat with our guests.

Thank you for making our day so special!

September Wedding 2025

The moment we walked into The Faversham we knew we loved the venue. We wanted a relaxed but cool venue that allowed us to bring all our loved ones together to share our amazing day and have a good party afterwards. The flexibility of the venue enabled us to move guests around without too much down time or ability to disappear, keeping our guests together. The staff on the day were attentive and organised. The meetings ahead of the day were stress free and understanding of what we wanted to achieve. The food was delicious. Everything was brilliant. We couldn’t be happier and guests since have commented on how much they enjoyed the day and venue.

What a place! LOVED every minute!

The Faversham, what a place, we only visited 1 venue and The Fav was THE ONE! Booked immediately. From the booking process, Food and drinks packages and low rental fees we were hooked! Both the interior and exterior are beautiful and was the perfect setting for our 100 guest wedding. The styling meant that you barely have to add much to make the place look wedding ready! The staff were great throughout and our day went smoothly with every detail accounted for. Thank you team!

The most amazing day ever

We got married here at the end of May and had the best day ever. From booking the venue right up to the day, Jess and the team handled everything perfectly. On the day I didn't have to worry about a thing because Jess had it covered. All my emails were picked up quickly and they were flexible to any requests. My guests all commented on how nice the staff where, the venue itself and the food!!! A lot of the reviews mentioned how good the food was so we were excited- but it was 1000 times better than what we imagined! We had sharing starters and mains and it was so lovely as much more relaxed. A lot of our guests said it was the best wedding food they've had. The venue has a relaxed, fun vibe and overall we are so glad we picked to have our wedding here. Thank you so much the Faversham team!!

Our wonderful wedding day!

The Faversham is a truly wonderful venue and was the perfect place for our special day. My guests loved the drinks reception on the terrace outside and were blown away by the quirky and beautiful interiors inside. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were extremely attentive throughout the day and evening. The professionalism and calm demeanor of Jess, who coordinated the day, were outstanding! I couldn’t recommend this unique and “legendary to Leeds” venue highly enough.

Thank you, "The Fav", and all the wonderful staff, for giving us the best day of our lives...a day we will never forget. x

What a perfect day!

We had our wedding here in March and it was the best day! The staff were all incredible. A big thanks to Jess who was so helpful throughout the whole planning process too.

The food was a highlight, we opted for a vegan menu and it was so good. The cheesecake was still the best I've ever had! We had a few guests with very specific food allergies too, they were all catered for which was very much appreciated.

The Faversham is an absolute dream of a venue and I couldn't recommend it enough.
