Milgrave Wedding - The Bush

We couldn't recommend The Bush any higher. When we met with Hannah over a year before our wedding, there was something about her that put us entirely at ease and we knew almost immediately that we wanted her to be in charge of our wedding day - and we couldn't have been more right.
Everything in the initial show around, the run up to the wedding and the day itself was just perfect. Hannah and her team were fantastic, positive, with a full 'can do' attitude to just about any curveball we threw their way. Their accommodation to many changing features of the wedding - made the whole process incredibly easy and if we could do it all again we absolutely would.
On the weekend of the wedding, the servers and hosts were incredible, from every duty manager we dealt with to every bartender and server throughout the weekend- we were made to feel incredibly special and looked after and we couldnt be more greatful. A particular shout out to Cara as well for being a pure joy the whole weekend whenever we ran into her, saving all our prosecco corks for keepsakes and ensuring our guests were well looked after.
We had such a wonderful day and would truly recommend any Surrey-based - or those further afield - who are looking for a chilled venue, accommodation for guests and the best party venue all wrapped up in one package - thanks to everyone and we can't wait to be back again soon!

5 Star Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We only viewed one venue for our wedding and during our viewing at The Bush Hotel, it was love at first sight. I knew it was where we're gonna be celebrating our wedding. Nothing was ever a hassle during the planning process. Hannah was very responsive, as well as the rest of the team. And on the day of the wedding, we had top notch service from all the staff from The Bush. Shoutout to Francesco, Kash and Megan for running the day really well. They made our best day THE best day. It went as smoothly and hassle free as possible. The spaces were big enough for 85-100 pax. The food was also great and our guests loved the food so much! Nothing but thanks and praises to the team behind the beautiful The Bush Hotel! ♡

A wonderful day!

Hannah and the team at the Bush Hotel were outstanding. They were super helpful with all of the planning, super easy to get hold of and communicate with, helped us think of things we wouldn't have known to think of and generally made the day run smoothly. The atmosphere was great, it was good value (for a wedding!), the food was good and it was so great to be able to have everything in one place: ceremony, reception and accommodation. Plus there are still different rooms available for different parts of the day so it didn't feel stagnant either. My only very small gripe was that I wish we had spent a bit more time on discussing decor / atmosphere of the dancing space as we needed a bit more space for our specific situation (we had a salsa class for our entertainment and the layout of the tables was a bit of a hinderance) and I would have preferred some vibier lighting. Those were minor things that I am sure Hannah and the team would have easily accommodated if we had known we wanted them (sometimes you don't know until you are in the moment!). Overall highly recommend. A day we will remember for the rest of our lives. Can't wait to visit for our 1st anniversary meal (included in the package!). Thank you!

09.09.23 The Best Day Of Our Lives

Massive shout out to all the staff at Bush Hotel Farnham who made our day so incredibly special for us. We got married on the hottest day of the year 09/09/23 but that did not stop us. From the very beginning from us finding this absolutely charming venue our in house wedding coordinator Hannah and the hotel manager Fransisco and all of the staff made us feel extremely welcome, loved and just completely at home every time we visited the venue and trust me when I say we came in A LOT! We couldn't stay away due to the incredible atmosphere, the beautiful decor of the venue and the incredible food. From the get go we were absolutely and totally in love with the place and the staff that ran the show and absolutely every little detail of our wedding was maticulously and perfectly planned. Communication from Hannah and the team throughout was absolutely top notch and it made planning my wedding so incredibly easy and it really was the most enjoyable experience. We had an intimate wedding of around 70 guests all close friends and immediate family members. We all checked in with family, guests and bridal and grooms parties the day before the wedding and everyone loved the staff who worked so hard and the relaxing atmosphere of this beautiful historic hotel and the food. Everyone had gorgeous rooms to stay in and my bridal suite was stunning and had absolutely everything we needed to be able to relax and get ready in.

The wedding day kicked off in perfect style and the beautiful Hannah was by my side the entire time making sure everything ran smoothly and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. Our entire day was just absolutely incredible and like something out of a fairy tale and all of our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended and that absolutely everything was just stunning and we all had so much fun.

We wish we could go back in time and do it all over again as honestly it was pure magic and without a doubt the happiest day of our lives.

This is a massive testimony to how dedicated and absolutely incredible all of the staff are at the hotel. They simply couldn't have done enough for us.

We will be back for special occasions and book other events at this venue moving forward as it become what feels like a second home for us now and we couldn't imagine not visiting often as this really had become our happy place.

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful staff who worked so hard to make our wedding day so incredibly special we love you all and we can't wait to visit again. We are off on honeymoon now but we will be in for a chat and a meal when we get home.

Lots of love to you all from the new Mr & Mrs Crone xxxx

Outstanding wedding venue

The perfect wedding day. Staff were all brilliant, food was amazing and the Redgrave room was a brilliant place for the evening party, spacious and private and allowed to go on until 01:00hrs.
Hannah’s (wedding organiser) organisation leading up to the day and throughout was outstanding, always making sure she could do what we asked for and making sure our big day was as special as we imagined it.

A superb wedding celebration venue

We held a joint wedding celebration and golden wedding anniversary event at the hotel for over seventy guests in the newly refurbished Redgrave Suite. The suite is beautiful and of the highest standard, has a lovely entrance hallway with relaxing settees, plus its own self-contained stylish bar; a perfect venue for such occasions. All of the event staff and management were extremely helpful from the minute we booked our event, with special thanks to Hannah and Carol for their expert help and guidance throughout the planning stages, and to Kash and his team for their wonderful support on the day. Our Celebration Dinner was absolutely delicious, Thank You. Many of our guests stayed overnight at the hotel and commented on their comfortable beds and excellent breakfasts! Everyone had a wonderful weekend, so a BIG Thank You to The Bush Hotel and all the staff.

Incredible, friendly, accommodating wedding venue - look no further!

The Bush were absolutely incredible from end-to-end, we’re so pleased we chose them as our wedding venue! From the very beginning when we booked they were so helpful and accommodating - answering our endless list of questions, helping us to bring our ideas to life, and making time at short notice for us to drop in - often in a panic that we still had lots to think about! A special thanks to Hannah in particular for always making time for us, and being a voice of calm!

Our day ran like clockwork, exactly as we’d hoped. Having been so involved in the preparation it was great to be able to sit back and trust that everything was in hand - Hannah worked with our suppliers to decorate each room throughout the day, liaising with our guitarist and band, and generally took care of everything.

Everyone commented on how nice the venue is, the quality of the food, and the friendliness of all the staff.

If you’re looking for a venue run by friendly people that genuinely care about your day, look no further. Without doubt worth a visit while you are shortlisting options!

A perfect day

Have your wedding day here! It’s amazing!

We held our entire wedding day at The Bush, starting with the ceremony in the beautiful Oak Lounge through to the Wedding Breakfast in the bright and cosy Garden Restaurant, ending in the newly finished Redgrave Suite which is just brilliant.

Hannah and her team keep you on track in terms of deadlines and timelines during the months leading up to the big day and once you arrive, she ensures that everything goes exactly to plan.

The food and catering were amazing ! All prepared on time, all the plates licked clean afterwards with the front of house team providing exceptional service. It was all delicious!

You wouldn’t believe how they get it so right at The Bush for the prices they charge plus life’s made so easy as accommodation is readily available and room rates can be arranged with Reception.

Definitely the best decision we made.

Faultless!

Where do I begin. From the moment we viewed The Bush Hotel for the first time as a potential wedding venue, nothing was too much trouble for Hannah. She made us feel welcome, she was full of helpful hints and tips and incredibly patient with us!

The Bush Hotel did everything we asked and more, and my husband and I are so happy that we chose to have our special day there. I cannot recommend The Bush Hotel highly enough, we had the most incredible wedding day, everything ran like clockwork and our guests all complimented the venue and the quality of the food (a menu which was different to the usual, and put together specifically for us).

Thank you so much to Hannah and the whole team at The Bush Hotel, we will be back in for dinner and drinks soon without a shadow of doubt!

If you are considering The Bush Hotel, go for it, you won’t regret your decision!
