A wonderful wedding weekend at Farnham Castle
We would like to sincerely thank you and the entire staff for the wonderful wedding weekend we held at Farnham Castle on 7th March, 2020. The entire event was extremely well organised, the food was wonderful and of course the Castle provided a rich and historical setting for the celebrations. We are still looking back with excitement and fond memories at the many photos and videos share from the day, and our international guests talk about the fantastic time enjoyed by friends and family. Thank you once again.

5 stars all round
We looked at about 12 venues and Farnham Castle was our clear favourite from the moment we drove up the driveway. We just got 'that feeling'. We fell in love with the beautiful venue, amazing staff and awesome food. The staff are a massive selling point - every single staff member from front of house, event team, kitchen staff, waiting staff are so friendly, welcoming and can't do enough for you. Worth every penny. I have to say they have got making sure your wedding runs smoothly down to a fine art. Our day was perfect and the staff were a massive part in that. It is such a beautiful venue, a huge plus is the lovely accomodation on site for guests, gatehouse for the girls to get ready and a stunning bridal suite (oh my goodness the shower and bath!). On top of that the food is amazing (those chocolate brownies!). All of our guests raved about every single part of the food from the canapes, to the wedding breakfast to the awesome show stopping evening food. Thank you Farnham Castle. You deserved that nomination in the Wedding awards for best castle venue - This girl had the fairytale wedding at a fairytale castle x
