Perfect from start to finish

From start to finish our experience booking our wedding at Fonmon Castle was just perfect. Infact, this was the only venue we viewed as we could tell from the start it was everything we wanted. The warmth, beauty and grandeur of Fonmon blew us away, and most of all we didn't feel we were part of a 'conveyor belt' of weddings. The staff (especially Hannah) were absolutely incredible- always on hand to answer any queries, so professional and most importantly so lovely! We will always remember our wedding day at Fonmon as the best day of our lives, and I know our guests had a wonderful time too. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

If we could give you 100 stars...we would

My oh my where do I begin?! Fonmon Castle is the most beautiful wedding venue we had ever seen- we just had to book it for our wedding!
We really wanted to have a personalised wedding which represented us and Fonmon Castle allowed us to do just that!
Hannah (the wedding co-ordinator) is just incredible, nothing was ever too much to ask in the run up to our wedding as she genuinely wanted us to have to best day ever (which it really was!) Her meticulous organisation, yet relaxed nature is awesome- I just don’t know how she does it!
Mark (the night time manager) is also incredible, he was always instantly on hand to cater for our every need. Whether that was to ensure that bride and groom had a drink in their hand to organising guests into rough lines for confetti and sparkler shots!!
Thank you to everyone in Fonmon Castle for making it the best day of our lives! So many of our guests have commented saying how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and how lovely you guys were!
If I could give you a 100 star rating I would- 5 just doesn’t do you justice!

Absolutely incredible

We had our wedding at Fonmon on Friday and it was absolutely incredible. We fell in love with Fonmon as soon as we first visited. A stunning venue with a really laid back atmosphere. All of our guests have commented on how beautiful the setting was. Thank you so much to Hannah, Mark and all of the staff who helped to make our wedding so special. Hannah was absolutely fantastic in the run up to the day. Nothing was too much trouble and all of the staff made sure the whole day ran smoothly. We even were allowed to bring our dog Walter along to join in the celebrations!! We would recommend Fonmon to anyone. Lots of love, Ryan, Lauren and Walter xxxx

Fantastic, relaxing, friendly

My cousins' wedding reception was held here in July 2005. It was a fantastic venue to have chosen. The grounds were immaculately manicured; the castle, a wonderful backdrop to such a high profile event. Two female violinists provided the elegant music, and highly professional and competent catering staff, served us with friendly smiles and a courteous attitude. I believe that the grandiose presence of Fonmon Castle added a certain authority to the proceedings, and lent us a social status of the highest order! I was proud to see a family member married at such an esteemed venue.
