Darren W. Sent on 21/04/2024Our dream wedding!
From our very first interaction with the team on our first viewing, from the booking process through to the planning of our big day, it was all fantastic.
We were very lucky to work with Gema as our main wedding planner, totally unflappable, calm, organised, all over the detail.
Our wedding day in the stunning venue, bathed in spring sunshine, was delivered flawlessly. We cannot think of one thing we would want differently. Food, service, team, drinks, venue - all 10/10.
Thanks so much Farnham Castle, to Gema and indeed the whole amazing team we interacted with. You literally gave us the best day of our lives.

Cassie B. Sent on 10/11/2024The perfect location for our special day
We got married at Farnham Castle on 14th September 2024, and we had the most perfect day we could ever imagine. The castle itself is absolutely stunning, with incredible backdrops everywhere you look (so the pictures are amazing!). It was a real treat to have exclusive use for 24 hours, knowing our guests could roam and enjoy and it was all ours for the day. The food was delicious, and all of our guests commented on how good it was (“best wedding food ever”) and how they managed to have everything perfectly cooked for that number of people was very impressive! We had a lot of different things going on, and the team at the Castle managed to facilitate this. Having the Gatehouse to get ready in was an added bonus and meant the girls could get ready in a relaxed style.
A few things that could be improved (but in no way lessened how amazing our day was!):
- We struggled a little bit with communication in the lead up to the wedding, having to send a number of emails to get answers. We believe this is due to the coordinators being too busy running other weddings (understandably!) but it did require a fair bit of chasing from our side.
- there were a number of additional costs that we weren’t expecting - eg: a £20 per room fee for early check in (normal check in is 3pm which was during our ceremony). As the accommodation was not cheap and there was no wedding the night before, we felt this was a little cheeky. If we wanted a different wet weather option for our reception (luckily not needed on the day), we were quoted £150 to use this room.
- Breakfast was delicious but took a very long time to be served, and a number of our guests were panicking about making check out time as it took over an hour to be served.
Overall, we were very happy with everything Farnham Castle delivered on the day - it really was better than we could have ever imagined!
Thank you to the team, and especially our coordinator, for everything they did for us!Farnham Castle's reply:

Perfect Surrey Wedding Venue
The venue is absolutely stunning, with so many choices for ceremony locations and endless photo opportunities. Our guests all complimented the quality of the food and loved the espresso martinis we served after dinner.
We loved that so many of our family and friends could stay at the venue with us and the breakfast the next morning was great. The getting ready rooms for both the bride and groom were fantastic.
Even with some light rain, the venue ensured we could have our wedding outside in the rose garden, which was picture-perfect, with the old keep in the background of our photos.
Our coordinator Gema was incredible at every step of the planning process and was calm, organised and professional on the day.
We would definitely recommend Farnham Castle to other couples getting married in Surrey! -

Eloise R. Sent on 03/10/2024Our fairytale summer wedding at Farnham Castle!
We could not have been happier with our wedding at Farnham Castle. From the offset, the team were communicative and helpful and 6 months before our wedding we were assigned our wedding organiser, Gema who was simply incredible! Gema was always available to answer our many questions whether about the larger or finer details, which made us feel surprisingly relaxed in the lead up to the wedding.
Having quite complex dietary requirements, I knew straight away when I saw the food options that we would be in safe hands. At both the complimentary food tasting event and afterwards, Chef Simon went through in great detail with us all our food choices and we were so happy with how delicious it all tasted on the day and the canapes in particular got demolished almost immediately! We also opted for their newer dessert bar option which was a super fun and relaxed way to finish the meal.
There is no doubt that Farnham Castle is a stunning venue but what sets it apart from other places are the incredible staff, and attention to detail that they put into every aspect of your day. We would highly recommend Farnham Castle and it truly was a fairytale wedding! -

Farnham Castle was a dream venue! As soon as we looked around we knew it was for us, and the friendliness of the staff and the help they provided us with planning and on the day was second to none. So many of our guests have since told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to - this is surely down to the relaxed and professional staff at Farnham. Nothing was too much trouble and on the day they ensured everything went off without a hitch (and if there were any, they made sure we never knew!) A special mention to Laura who looked after us the whole way through and made sure the day ran smoothly. A stunning venue, fantastic staff, and the best day ever was had by all. -

Kim S. Sent on 29/08/2024Beautiful venue
We loved having our wedding at Farnham Castle. The venue is so beautiful and everything is very well organised. Us, as the couple getting married, felt that we didn’t need to stress at all about the finer details prior to and throughout our wedding day- everything seemed to just “magically” happen. Gema, who was our assigned wedding organiser, was simply incredible. Anything we wanted she- just like that- managed to organise and got it done. The food was incredible, the venue itself is just so incredible!
On the day, Gema and the entire team were just amazing, behind the scenes getting the day going to plan without anyone realising. She’s a wonderful and fun person also. We’ll miss working with Farnham castle but would definitely recommend people get married there because it will be the best day for any couple ♥️ -

Beyond perfect
From our first visit to Farnham we knew that this was the wedding venue for us. Gema who showed us around was amazing, informative and so welcoming! We were then lucky enough to have Laura as our wedding coordinator who was just a dream! She was such a calming presence on the day and couldn’t do enough for us.
All of the staff were incredible and everything was completely perfect. All of our guests were stunned by the venue and highly praised the food.
We cannot recommend Farnham Castle enough, it was everything we wished for and more! -

Our wedding was an absolute dream!
The grandeur of this venue is amazing. This was the first venue we looked at, we viewed 6 more after this but nothing compared to the castle. The lady that showed us around was lovely and we felt so welcomed and could really envision our wedding being there. Once booked we met our wedding coordinator 6 months before the wedding ant a food tasting event and were in contact throughout leading up to the wedding. Questions were always answered thoroughly and Laura, our coordinator, was always so friendly and helpful. The venue offered something that others couldn’t having a chapel onsite. This meant that we could have a religious wedding without guests having to travel to a different venue. Another thing that we loved was the rooms for the bride and groom to get ready in, which again other venues do not always offer to the groom and groomsmen. The food was amazing on the day and we had an outdoor pizza oven for our evening food which our guests loved. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was. It was perfect from start to finish. Our day was an absolute dream come true and we will never forget it. -

The staff at Farnham castle were highly professional and the build up to the day with the wedding planning team was efficient and stress-free. Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding day. They loved the food, the service and the guests that stayed at the castle gave great feedback on their accommodation. The venue itself was even more magical on the day. The grounds looked beautiful which has given us amazing photographs. Our wedding day was as perfect as we could have hoped for and more. -

Sonia P. Sent on 12/07/2024The most perfect wedding day at Farnham Castle
From start to finish our experience with Farnham Castle has been impeccable and one we will never forget. From initially visiting the venue to scope out how it would fulfill our needs to being assigned a wedding coordinator who supported us so hugely during the planning stages and into the day to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly.
We could not have wished for a more perfect wedding day and our forever grateful to the whole team at Farnham Castle for making it such a perfect day for us.
We highly recommend you consider this venue for your big day - the setting is incredible and allowed for such amazing pictures both inside and outside. We have had many compliments from our guests on the canapes, wedding breakfast and pizzas in the evening - the food and service was of such high quality.
Thank you so much to all the team. We are forever grateful to you for giving us such a special wedding day.
