First of all I would just like to say how perfect our wedding day was. It was everything we dreamed of and more. The running of the day was flawless thanks to the amazing staff at Fanham’s. All of our friends and family have not stopped talking about it. It truly was the best day of our lives.

We literally had the best day ever! We genuinely cannot thank you enough for everything – you have been absolutely amazing all the way through. Every time we met with you, we said to each other just how suited you are to your job – we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help create our day. We also cannot thank everyone else enough, involved either – Rachel was absolutely amazing (also perfectly suited to her job!), and all the staff we came across were so friendly and helpful, everyone genuinely seemed to love what they do, and so many of our guests commented on how attentive they all were! We genuinely wouldn’t have changed anything about the day, or the lead up to it. We’ve enjoyed every step of the way! So thank you ALL so much!
Luke and I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU! You made our day so incredibly special, it exceeded our expectation and we’re super grateful for everything you and the team done for us!
This venue was amazing, the old style Manor House and the beautiful gardens and grounds were the ones that sold it for us. The garden came to life on our wedding day and the colours looked amazing and was also an excellent back drop for photos. The teams working on the wedding were helpful and helped to make the day run smoothly, and always checked in with the Bride and Groom to make sure we were fed and to make sure we were having a great day!

Can I just say thank you to you and the team that made our day so wonderful last week. Starting with Symphonie and then moving on with you overtime, the planning made the day tick like clockwork. Everything was so well done and we had a fantastic day. Can we also send a special thank you to Rachel who made everything work. She was brilliant. Very calming. We’re booked in for an anniversary gift but we hope to see you all again very soon.

I wanted to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you from us both. Our day was perfect in every way and are thrilled we chose Fanhams Hall. Erhan, it was a pleasure to have you look after us and our guests. You gave me confidence and comfort that the day would we perfect and it was. Thank you for looking after us. The last minute changes with numbers could have been such a worry and stress but you were so calm and professional that we just knew it would be ok. Thank you Lauren and for taking the time to say hello. The venue’s beauty speaks for itself and we have visited as a family for years, a joy to now have been married there and I’m sure the photos will reflect this. The wedding suite was also a highlight, a beautiful room. The food was delicious and everything looked wonderful in the room.
Thanks so much for your email. We honestly had the most amazing day and we cannot thank you and everyone at Fanhams Hall enough for making our day so special. Thank you also for everything you all did for my family and especially my Uncle – we are so grateful – and the fact he was able to stay for the day was a testament to how comfortable he was made to feel at the venue.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both. We had the most amazing day. It was just perfect – even with everything going on we had the best best day ever. I am so grateful for all you did both before and during the wedding. We will definitely be coming back to Fanhams Hall soon. Please thank all of the team for all they did to make the day so special.

Fanhams Hall was an amazing venue choice from start to finish. When we first went to visit we were blown away by the grounds and the staff were all simply amazing and so friendly. Every time we went back it was more exciting and they really helped with all aspects of the planning and the big day itself. It’s a perfect venue if you want everything in one place and the bonus of being able to stay over helps take away some of the pre wedding nerves. A massive thank you to Lauren, Justice and Erhan who made the whole wedding seamless. All of our guests have said what a wonderful time they all had and if you live in London it’s not too far out either with great transport links and plenty of parking. We wish we could do it all again and would highly recommend Fanhams Hall.

Thank you so much for all your help and support leading up to the wedding. You were brilliant at answering all our questions quickly, especially under the COVID circumstances. We cannot thank the Fanhams team enough for making our day so amazing. More than happy to give Fanhams and yourself a big 5 star review.
We had an amazing day, thank you so much for everything from you and the team. Everyone at Fanhams was absolutely fantastic and the day ran like clockwork. We had the best time working with you and wish you and all the team all the best for the future. We will be back next year to celebrate our anniversary!
I am sure you have heard it many times before, but we really did have the most perfect day and wouldn’t have changed any of it. Our bridal suite made the stay feel very special and was a perfect room to get ready in. Our guests loved exploring the grounds and took some beautiful photos. We would particularly like to thank the chef because we had great feedback on the wedding breakfast and also thank the lady who took care of everything on the day. She was very well organised and kept us in order and informed the whole time in a very gentle and lovely manner. All the staff that we have come in contact with have been very professional and lovely. Just to finish, we both love Fanhams Hall so much and are really glad that we had two wedding presents that were afternoon tea at Fanhams and also a nights stay and we are looking forward to both of those.

We had such an incredible day – it was more amazing than we could possibly imagine. Thanks for all your help in the lead up to our day.
Thank you for such a lovely day. It was perfect! We were so lucky the weather. Everything looked amazing, just how we’d imagined it to be.
Thank you so much for all your help and for making our wedding so special. A big thank you to Claire who really made sure everything went smoothly on the day. Our friends and family were very impressed, and some are even considering recommending the venue to family that are engaged! Thanks again!
Married July 2024
Just a quick email to say thank you for everything you did for us to make our wedding dream happen. It was genuinely the best day of our lives, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. Every little detail was covered, the staff were incredible all weekend at both of our events, the venue was beautiful, the food was insanely good, everyone couldn’t do enough for us, and even with difficult guest requests or language barriers, our family members were so looked after and for that we are incredibly grateful. We knew Fanhams was the right place as soon as we viewed it for the first time, but this simply exceeded all our expectations, and it all started with you, so thank you for everything! You are one in a million and so very good at your job, you’ve actually inspired me to consider wedding planning as a new job haha! Rachel went above and beyond on the wedding weekend and is an absolute asset to Fanhams. Thank you again. You’re all amazing, we appreciate you all, and we cannot wait to visit for afternoon tea or a night away one day soon!
Married September 2024
Many thanks for all of your help over the past year helping us to organise our wedding and be a holding hand throughout the process with my many questions, especially the lead up to the wedding. The team on the day were absolutely wonderful – we couldn’t fault them. All of our guests had amazing time and enjoyed walking around the venue and gardens. The attention to detail that I wanted, was executed by the staff and I couldn’t fault it.
Married August 2024
We cannot thank you enough for all the help you gave us with planning and running our wedding day. It truly was the best day of our lives, and that was in no small part down to you. You went above and beyond, and you never made it seem like a chore. We’re so grateful. And we would love to come back next year on our anniversary! We also adore the print of Fanhams Hall. It will take pride of place in our hallway.
Married June 2024
The day was AMAZING. Thank you so much for all of your help over the planning period – which was about 3 years after Covid extended it! I feel like we really got the wedding that we wanted (despite Covid trying to derail us!!) You were so attentive and really went over and above for us after we asked for lots of random curveballs like the outdoor band and so many meetings going through the detail of the day. Honestly so grateful for your help and so glad we got to see you on the day so you could see it all come together!
We had an amazing day, thank you so much for everything from you and the team. Everyone at Fanhams was absolutely fantastic and the day ran like clockwork. We had the best time working with you and wish you and all the team all the best for the future. We will be back next year to celebrate our anniversary!
