Do not hesitate to book this venueMAY, 2025

Where do I start.. our day was perfect in every way!Firstly, the venue is out of this world, as soon as we pulled up on the open day we knew the venue was for us. Who wouldn’t want to get married in a castle.Francesca was the first member of staff we met and without doubt sold us the venue, from then I knew we needed her throughout our wedding journey. I had so many questions and Francesca was there every single step of the way, we couldn’t of been more grateful. Her attention to details was outstanding! She was in charge of our whole day, organising our suppliers, our family and friends and of course looking after us. We truly cannot thank Francesca enough.The food was to die for, all our guests were speechless at how amazing it all was. The chefs work so hard to provide you with no basic wedding food! Every single canape was beautiful and had people going back for more.The venue speaks for itself, it is beautiful- the getting ready rooms, the grounds even the honeymoon suite. Do not hesitate to book this venue, if we could do it again we will be back at Farnham Castle.Thank you again to Francesca and all the staff at Farnham Castle.

AmazingMAY, 2025

We cannot believe that the day has been and gone already! Although we recognise that it is a team effort, we did just want to say how amazing you have been throughout the whole process. We’re so glad that we were able to plan our wedding day alongside yourself. You made us feel relaxed, reassured and completely at ease that the day would run as smoothly as it did. I think there were points during the day where you spoke to guests and suppliers…The general consensus was ‘We love Julia!’.
