Colin and Emma’s Wedding 12.08.23

When my husband and I made a list of venues to visit, The Talbot was at the top and after our first walk through the courtyard we both knew this was only place we wanted to get married!
Luckily for us it ticked all our other boxes too;- style, location, budget, exclusive use, accommodation for guests, amazing food and incredible staff.
We had such a fantastic wedding day at The Talbot, we wanted to do it all again! The whole day just flew by.
Being a bit of a control freak it was very hard to let go of the reins on the day and trust that everything would run smoothly, but because of the amazing Krystyna and her team, that is exactly what I did!
I didn’t have one stressful moment because she was there every step of the way making sure it all ran like clockwork. Krystyna was wonderful to work with and instilled such faith and confidence throughout the planning. We felt so supported and that our wedding was as important to The Talbot as it was to us. All our guests raved about the venue, staff service and food. A special mention to Nicholas as well. He helped me with my dress as I was walking across the courtyard to the ceremony and was wonderful at calming the wedding party’s nerves before walking down the aisle.
We were blessed with lovely weather, although that made the Wisley Suite Reception room very hot in the evening and windows couldn’t be opened due to noise pollution. I have been told The Talbot are installing air con for next year!
From start to finish it was a magical day at a wonderful venue. Thank you.

The Most Magical Wedding at The Talbot

We got married at the Talbot in December 2024. Everything from start to finish was perfect, seamless and we could not of asked for anything more perfect for our wedding day. Krystyna is absolutely fantastic and makes the planning process extremely easy. If it wasn't for her our day would not have run as it did! The venue, food, staff and accommodation is fantastic and is extremely good value for money. Thank you to Krystyna and all of the staff that made our day so incredible.

The very best day ever.......

To Krystyna our amazing wedding planner at the Talbot.......

We wanted to say the biggest thank you to you and the amazing team at the Talbot for making our wedding day on the 14th December the best day ever! It was all and more than we had hoped for. From the evening before to the end of our wedding day, absolutely everything went perfectly and that is thanks to you and your great team. Everyone was so helpful, friendly, full of smiles and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot thank you enough for helping to make our day as special as it was.

Please could you pass on the biggest thank you to all of those involved with our day. All of our guests have commented on how lovely the day was, the venue, the food and staff etc.

We will highly recommend The Talbot to anyone wishing to book a wedding venue and will be back again soon for another delicious meal in your restaurant!

With our thanks and very best wishes for 2025

Kind regards

If I could do it again I would!

Well straight from the beginning the wedding planner Krystina was very helpful and always communicating with us.
We had loads of information on the show around and even after when I had lots of questions she answered with a quick response.
Krystina sent emails keeping us updated on dates for all events, such as wedding fairs, dates for our diary and kept me organised.
I felt very relaxed throughout and leading up to the day.
The food tasting was amazing and was really surprised with the portions, myself and my husband had a great evening and staff were all very friendly.
On the day Krystina was very helpful and kept me very calm. She let me knew what was happening (even though I was very nervous and kept forgetting) she was there throughout the day and everything was really organised.
I have to say the venue was brilliant and great value for money. Also all staff were friendly and especially the wedding planner Krystina who became part of the family on the day made everyone feel so at ease.
If I could do this all again I would truly pick this venue and have Krystina back as my wedding planner.
Thank you so much!

Fantastic wedding venue!

We had our wedding at The Talbot on 6th September 24 and we can’t thank all the staff enough for all their work and efforts in making this the most perfect day. The day ran absolutely seamlessly, the food was fantastic and we have received so many compliments from friends and family on how lovely the venue was and what an amazing day it was. Krystyna our wedding coordinator was incredible from start to finish, helping us through the planning every step of the way. She was absolutely amazing and was always so happy to help, answer any questions I had and put me at ease the whole step of the way. The bridal suite was lovely and the wedding package they offer is worth every penny! Thank you so much

Our wedding....2024

We got married in Leatherhead Registry office and had our reception and evening party at The Talbot. We chose the Talbot for 2 very important reasons. Firstly the buildings themselves are lovely. They have character as they are 700 years old. Most other hotels have no character.
Secondly the people we met there. All very polite and very good at their jobs. Krystyna in particular could not have been more helpful.
The day itself was magical. Weather was good, all the guests enjoyed themselves, the food the Talbot provided for us was excellent. Couldn't have gone any better.

Wonderful venue

After our afternoon ceremony at a local register office, we chose to have our evening reception at The Talbot Inn. We were attracted by the rustic charm of the hotel and the flexible options of the adjoining function rooms. They afforded space for guests to dance, watch others dance whilst seated, sit and chat in a quieter back room, eat from the buffet or drink in the dedicated cosy bar area. We also had use of the pub area and the delightful garden before the evening event started. From initial inquiries to finalising our wishes, staff were very flexible and efficient. It all made for a perfect day.

Ingy & Jamie’s wedding

Attention to detail was exceptional, quality of venue was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for anything. Links given from our Talbot wedding planner Krystyna were ideal & also exceptional. Our wedding was awesome thanks to everyone at the Talbot.

The perfect celebration of our marriage

Krystyna, our wedding coordinator at The Talbot, was professional and very welcoming from our first meeting in May 2023 and right through to our wedding day on 29 June 2024. The ceremony room was so pretty and perfect for an intimate wedding with close family and friends. We choose to have more of a celebration of our marriage than a formal affair and The Talbot were very accommodating and produced a wonderful barbecue as the wedding meal which all our guests enjoyed and commented on the quality of it. The rooms were decorated beautifully by Ether Events and hit just the right note for us - pretty but not overdone. And the music for the evening by DJ2K had all our guests on the dance floor. The new air conditioning system in the Wisley Suite definitely helped as well as it was a warm evening!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
