This place is exceptional
It has taken me some time to find the right words to accurately summarise my wedding experience at the Faversham. My husband and I went to a wedding fayre at the Faversham and were instantly struck my the beauty of this carefully restored Victorian Building. The attention to detail and the tasteful interior is breathtaking. They have a dedicated in house Wedding Planner, Deborah Divittoris who was exceptional. Her attention to detail and her ability to know precisely what it is we wanted was refreshing. She was also highly conscious of cost and was always thinking about reducing costs. The Staff were nowhere but everywhere. I cannot recall ever seeing even one of them but they were everywhere and attended to our guests professionally and without being noticed. That is the key to good service. The food tasting was superb and the food on the day even better than the food cooked for us at the tasting. Each and every guest said it was the best Tomahawk steak they had ever had. In fact the wedding was such a hit with our guests, it made the Yorkshire Post and an article was written in which the Author wrote the food was gastronomic level, you can read below for yourselves.

I cannot recommend the Faversham enough. They are hands down, head and shoulders above anyone else we met with or any other venue we visited. The value for money versus the service we received was without doubt the best we could have received. This place is standout.

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.

Fantastic venue!
Incredible from the moment we booked. Jess and the whole team have been amazing. The food tasting on the run up was a lovely surprise; it felt like a date for me and my partner. Jess was great at keeping our day organised and making any changes as we updated things. They were great at getting in touch of all the vendors and helping the day run smoothly. On the day, the staff really looked after myself and my bridesmaids. We had a beautiful room to get ready in that had plenty of space and they kept the drinks coming. The venue looked amazing and it was set up beautifully by the team. They were so good at turning everything around with great timing. Throughout the day, every guest had everything they needed and every request was accomodated. The value this venue provides is outstanding and they really coukd charge more than they do for the level of service and attention to detail they provide. 100% recommend.

Brilliant venue with real friendly people
We were really impressed by the venue right from our first visit. It is flexible and stylish allowing us to tailor it to our own style.
Everyone commented that the food was outstanding (we chose a full vegetarian menu and even the meat-eaters were surprised!).
The staff were really flexible and always available when we needed them.
Would absolutely recommend all day long!

The Perfect Wedding Venue!
My wife and I recently had our wedding at the Faversham. What a venue ! The day went absolutely perfectly! Every single detail we asked for was carefully planned and catered for. The staff were all so lovely and we’re so glad we got to spend our wedding day at the Faversham. The team completely took the stress of the day away as they helped organise the event and it ran seamlessly. All our friends and family absolutely loved the venue. It is a very unique space which can be turned into whatever vibe you want in such an easily accessible location. Being a licensed venue, we had our ceremony, wedding breakfast & party all on this stunning site which was perfect and so practical. Couldn’t speak highly enough of this place and all its staff. Thanks for making our dream wedding become a reality !

Jess (The Manager)
We had a fantastic experience with The Faversham. The Wedding Day itself was perfect in every way. The food, the service, the room setups, the behind the scenes attention to detail - it was all seamless. The entire team was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent organisation, really responsive and a calm, unflappable approach. Thank you to everyone involved!

Forever thankful for the team at The Faversham!
We had our wedding in February 2023 at The Faversham and I would recommend this venue and the team over and over again. The venue is gorgeous, which means you don’t need to dress it up much for your wedding/event. The location is perfect within walking distance from the centre and handy for people travelling into Leeds.. also free parking on site! The team are so professional and really help you bring everything together throughout the whole process.. on our actual wedding day I’ve never seen a team working so hard! Everything went smoothly - Hannah and Jess was incredible! Plus all the staff in catering, bar and everyone else who contributed! we had the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t of been possible without the team! Thankyou so so much! Emma and Ben x
