Could not recommend Farnham Castle more....JULY, 2024

Farnham Castle is a truly magical wedding venue, offering a stunning setting, elegant decor, and outstanding food. The castle's historic charm provides a fairy-tale backdrop for the wedding day I’ve always dreamed of. The food and drink were exquisite, and the team went above and beyond to recreate a favourite dish of ours, which added a personal touch and received numerous compliments. The team’s hospitality made the entire experience unforgettable for us and our guests – with a highlight being a late-night pizza waiting for us in the honeymoon suite! Our coordinator, Gema, was fabulous and put us (and the Mother of the Bride) at ease on the lead up! We are truly grateful for making our wedding day so special and could not recommend Farnham Castle more.

Laura and Nirav
