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.

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.

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.

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

Wedding at The Talbot, Surrey on Sat 1st June 2024
Got married at this hotel in June this year, it really was the most beautiful day, so much better than we could have imagined.
The hotel is just so beautiful, old & full character.
I can not even begin to express our gratitude for Krystyna (our wedding coordinator), helping & being apart of our special moment, the whole day ran so smoothly because of her.
All of our guests commented on how beautiful the hotel was, how delicious the bbq food was & that it was just the nicest wedding to attend...I am so proud to have married my husband at this hotel, it was the best experience ever.
I put this down to the hard working, friendly, professional Krystyna & all the staff.
All the recommendations for DJ, Photographer & Event decoration made by the hotel all very much brilliant, professional & just awesome people to work with (I really do highly advise that you go with the hotels preferred vendors, it takes away hours of stress & searching lol).
We will of course be coming back to celebrate future anniversaries, we genuinely love this hotel & feel very privileged to have got married here, we shall forever have beautiful memories of The Talbot.
Can not recommend this hotel enough for a wedding, party or leisurely stay...

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!

Perfect Wedding Venue
Wow! Where do we start? From start to finish, everything about having our wedding at The Talbot was perfect. From the initial reception we received from Krystyna at the wedding fair in a gloomy November day to our actual wedding day and beyond Krystyna, Avand and the whole team including Grace, Lucas, Olivia and all the others who serve is and looked after our guests were truly amazing.
The recommended suppliers Ether events and DJ2K ( Danny) made the place look and sound magical. We were looked after the whole day with no stress thanks especially to Krystyna who not only organised everything with such precision but also made every planning visit a joy and personally looked after us both so well on the day it was like having your own fairy godmother. Krystyna made us feel so special as though we were the only couple getting married at the Talbot. She really couldn’t do enough for us. The food throughout was delicious and perfectly presented. We found excuses to return the next few days after the wedding just to soak up as much joy as we could. In addition the beautiful historical building and value for money and dog friendly too make this the perfect venue for a beautiful wedding.

The Talbot - December 2023
We couldn’t believe our luck when we found the talbot, it was everything we wanted for our wedding venue. This was made even better with the communication we had in the lead up to our big day. Krystyna always made time to meet with us and discuss all of our ideas and visions for our wedding, and was invaluable on the day, from setting everything up to walking us through the steps.
We are looking forward to visiting the Talbot in the future and the amazing memories that we now have to look back on. Me and my husband would highly recommend The Talbot, especially if you are looking for an intimate venue with a rustic feel that you can tailor to your vision for your perfect wedding day.

Absolutely fabulous
We had the best day for our wedding at The Talbot. The venue is beautiful, Krystyna is amazing and all the staff were very friendly and kind. Thank you so much for making our day so special and to Krystyna for guiding me through the whole process- you put my nerves at ease. It was such a great day.

We had the best wedding ever
Cannot thank Krystyna, and the team at The Talbot for helping make our day so incredible and memorable. Anything we wanted or needed was done; including our 2 dogs being part of the ceremony, and our wish to have both the hog roast AND the bbq for our wedding breakfast! I would 100% recommend this place, and wish we could do it all over again!

July 2023 Wedding
An Amazing day, at a beautiful venue. Krystyna and the staff were amazing, helping to arrange and organize such a beautiful day that ran smoothly. Krystyna (the wedding planner) meet with us numerous time and replied to my many emails panicking and changing details, and helped to ease the stress of planning a wedding, everything ran like clockwork and the rooms and food were set up perfectly. Our guest all commented on how delicious the meals and canapes were and the venue were really good at dealing with meal variations for our gluten free/vegan and vegetarian guests. I couldn't recommend the venue more!

Perfect wedding experience!
Planning a wedding during a pandemic required a lot of budgeting and compromise. With the Talbot Inn we did the budget without the compromise. This was the first and only venue we looked at and it was just perfect. I loved the barn look as a venue and the Talbot offered this but with a modest and reasonable cost. Being just outside London the location was perfect without the huge London price tag! Besides this, the team at the Talbot were second to none. We started out with Krystyna who we loved but she went on maternity leave and put us in Hanna's capable hands. Although it's a bride prerogative, Hanna had no qualms with answering all of my many (any probably very tedious!) questions. As a natural control freak she made me feel very calm on the lead up to the day. On the day itself we were introduced to various other staff members (most of whoms names I'm afraid I cant remember!) however Amy was one who really resonated for us. She had her foot in a cast at the time but went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect. The morning after the wedding I actually had a bit of breakdown as I had lost a part of a family heirloom (my something old and borrowed) and Amy helped us scour the venue floor until we found it. For this I will never forget the kindness and support she showed me and was the cherry on the top of a perfect venue experience!

Perfect for a weekend of celebrations on bonfire night 2022
The venue was everything we could have asked for. We had many friends and family who came from afar, and Ripley village was an ideal setting and location. Throughout the planning stages, the events team were very accommodating, compromising and professional. The menu options had a good range of suitable choices, and we were very happy with the quality of the food on the day. We were advised and met suppliers for the event, following a bridal fair, of whom we decided to choose. Their familiarity of the venue reduced all unnecessary stresses that may arise whilst organising for the big event. Our stay at The Talbot was an overall a wonderful experience, we would recommend to many. It was warm, friendly, with a fulfilling good breakfast, and we left feeling satisfied that our guests and ourselves had a wonderful weekend.

Our October Wedding
We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our wedding.
The Talbot is stunning, rustic, cosy, packed of history and we knew from the moment we saw it it was special. And the whole team is absolutely wonderful. They were very flexible and happy to accommodate any choices or last minute changes in numbers. Krystyna was really attentive and happy to answer all our questions throughout the process. She was also keen to make our day as stress free as possible (and it was!)
We really felt like we could trust the whole team to ensure our day went without a hitch. No issue was too small or big -- even when I spilled red wine all over my dress, multiple people were there to help me get the stain off (they saved my wedding dress).
We had the happiest day of our lives and didn't worry about a thing -- thanks to Krystyna, Hanna and the whole Talbot team.

The most amazing wedding day 01.10.2021
After postponing our wedding for a year due to Covid, we finally had our day on 01.10.2021. What can I say… the most amazing day we could of wished for. Krystyna was great all throughout our planning and made us feel so special on the day. We had our ceremony in the barn room and reception all at the Talbot. The staff on the day were on point and all our guests said it was the best wedding they had been too. All down to the little details, we couldn’t of faulted anything on the day. For the wedding package and upgrades we made, the Talbot came well within budget and we are so glad we had our big day with you. Thank you again so much.
