Farnham Castle is a stunning, iconic, exclusive, and multi-award-winning wedding venue on five acres of beautiful grounds. It overlooks the historic market town of Farnham on the Surrey and Hampshire border. The Castle boasts Grade I and Grade II-listed buildings with incredible history and is the perfect destination for couples dreaming of somewhere unique.
The Castle’s flexible approach means you can choose where your ceremony is held and where your guests dine, celebrate and party. When you book your wedding at Farnham Castle, the venue is exclusively yours, from the historic Lantern Hall to the elegant Winchester Suite and from their stunning Great Hall to the magnificent Great Lawn. Farnham Castle can also host outdoor ceremonies on the East Lawn, overlooking a White Rose Garden. The venue offers two beautiful chapels from different architectural periods if you’d like a religious ceremony.
Farnham Castle can host exclusive use and dry-hire weddings of any size, from intimate weddings for 30 guests to larger celebrations for over 250, and they have hosted weddings for couples from all over the world. They have the best grounds for Marquees, with the most spectacular backdrops and views.
After a night of celebration and dancing in the Great Hall, followed by nightcaps in the Tindle Bar, your guests will be thrilled to retire to one of the venue’s 33 en-suite Castle bedrooms. Meanwhile, you’ll find peace and luxury in the Honeymoon Suite. The following day, gather with your guests for breakfast in the Library, ensuring everyone has shared in your special day until the very last moment.
Farnham Castle has a team of exceptional in-house chefs who create the most wonderful menus using the finest ingredients. They are proud to have their kitchen garden and use many local suppliers. They even have a bespoke ‘Castle sausage’ on the breakfast menu!
The venue offers a range of dining menus, including drinks and catering for every taste and budget. A typical menu for your guests could include a champagne reception with canapes, a three-course dining experience, including your choice of carefully selected wines, a surprise course, your toast, and a very popular Dessert Bar. For a late-night snack, why not offer your guests wood-fired pizzas from the Castle’s pizza oven while your entire party enjoys a spectacular fireworks display?
Standing at the top of Castle Hill, with its Keep dating back over 900 years, Farnham Castle is one of England’s few remaining great medieval houses. Located in Farnham, Surrey, the venue is perfectly suited for couples and guests travelling from near or far.
Just an hour from London, on the Surrey and Hampshire border, Farnham Castle is conveniently located and easy to reach. Situated just off the A31 and A325 and ten miles south of the M3 motorway (Junction 4), there is easy access to the A3, M25 and national motorway network.
We could not have been happier with our wedding at Farnham Castle. From the offset, the team were communicative and helpful, and six months before our wedding, we were assigned our wedding organiser, Gema, who was simply incredible! Gema was always available to answer our many questions whether about the larger or finer details, which made us feel surprisingly relaxed in the lead up to the wedding.
Having quite complex dietary requirements, I knew straight away when I saw the food options that we would be in safe hands. At both the complimentary food tasting event and afterwards, Chef Simon went through in great detail with us all our food choices and we were so happy with how delicious it all tasted on the day and the canapes in particular got demolished almost immediately! We also opted for their newer dessert bar option which was a super fun and relaxed way to finish the meal.
There is no doubt that Farnham Castle is a stunning venue, but what sets it apart from other places are the incredible staff and attention to detail that they put into every aspect of your day. We would highly recommend Farnham Castle and it truly was a fairytale wedding!

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.
Married July 2024
Thank you so much for everything you and the team did for us on our wedding day. I can honestly say that it was the best day ever, and we and all our family and friends had such an amazing day!
Married August 2024
The staff at Farnham castle were highly professional and the build up to the day with the wedding planning team was efficient and stress-free. Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding day. They loved the food, the service and the guests that stayed at the castle gave great feedback on their accommodation. The venue itself was even more magical on the day. The grounds looked beautiful which has given us amazing photographs. Our wedding day was as perfect as we could have hoped for and more.
Married July 2024
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives. Everything was so perfect – the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the service! Multiple guests mentioned to us how friendly the staff were and how incredible the venue was. We appreciate that there were so many different parts to the day, but it all went so smoothly, and that was all down to you guys. Jenna – when your wedding coordinator changes a few months before, it can be a little worrying. But honestly, we could not have felt in safer hands with you. Your attention to detail is second to none and you were such a calming presence on the day too! Thank you so much again, we would recommend Farnham Castle to anybody.

Farnham Castle is the most magical wedding venue – there is no other way to describe it. When we first visited and entered the Lantern and Great halls we both knew that this was not only the venue for us but that it would make our wedding a spectacular, perfect day. The history, splendour and setting of the venue made it immediately stand out from the rest.
We cannot thank all of the staff at Farnham enough for their constant support and positivity across both the planning stages and the wedding day itself. Again, from the first visit, we felt welcomed as we discussed our initial vision and plans. They were always incredibly accommodating of our ideas and were there to offer guidance when needed. This reassured us as we felt like our day was in safe hands.
On the day itself the staff were again outstanding, sorting decorations, dealing with suppliers, creating the delicious food and resolving last minute changes with ease. It led to seamless, often unnoticeable transitions across the day and meant both ourselves and our guests were able to enjoy the day to the fullest without worry or issue.
We have heard many fantastic comments from our guests praising the venue, and it’s hard to put into words how grateful we are to have been able to get married at such a special place. But, from the absolute bottom of our hearts, we would like to say an enormous thank you for everything.
If we could come back and do it all over again we would!

From our very first interaction with the team on our first viewing, from the booking process through to the planning of our big day, it was all fantastic.
We were very lucky to work with Gema as our main wedding planner, totally unflappable, calm, organised, all over the detail. Our wedding day in the stunning venue, bathed in spring sunshine, was delivered flawlessly. We cannot think of one thing we would want differently. Food, service, team, drinks, venue – all 10/10.
Every single aspect of our day was flawless – and I hope you all know how much we appreciate it. The training you must surely provide for all the team must be done to such a high standard.
Thanks so much, Farnham Castle, to Gema and, indeed, the whole amazing team we interacted with. You literally gave us the best day of our lives.

We couldn’t have asked for anything more from Farnham Castle; the whole team were absolutely amazing and we had so many compliments from our guests.

From start to finish, our experience with Farnham Castle has been impeccable and one we will never forget. From initially visiting the venue to scope out how it would fulfil our needs to being assigned a wedding coordinator who supported us so hugely during the planning stages and into the day to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly.
We could not have wished for a more perfect wedding day, and our forever grateful to the whole team at Farnham Castle for making it such a perfect day for us.
We highly recommend you consider this venue for your big day – the setting is incredible and allowed for such amazing pictures both inside and outside. We have had many compliments from our guests on the canapes, wedding breakfast and pizzas in the evening – the food and service were of such high quality.
Thank you so much to all the team. We are forever grateful to you for giving us such a special wedding day.
Married June 2024
We just want to say a massive “Thank you”! You were great on the day and it all ran so smoothly. You were on top of everything. We really, really appreciate it. All our guests had a wonderful time!
Married April 2024
Our wedding at Farnham Castle was truly the best day of our lives. The venue is so beautiful with so much character that left all of our guests absolutely blown away. Come rain or shine there are spaces that made our day so special, and we managed to make the most of so many of the Castle’s beautiful rooms.
Every member of staff at Farnham Castle was supportive and calm and everything you could want from the people helping organise your big day. From the moment we met Laura we knew we were in safe hands; her kindness, patience and warm persona made us feel like absolutely nothing was too much trouble. We felt completely safe and knew that our wedding would go perfectly with her as our coordinator.
We are so glad we picked Farnham Castle for our wedding: the food and wine were absolutely divine, and we had many happy guests after our wedding breakfast; the rooms are beautiful, well maintained and perfect for any occasion, and the staff were friendly, helpful and professional. We could not have asked for a better day. People often say that something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day, but there is nothing that either of us regrets or would change about the day, and that is largely due to the whole Farnham Castle team and their beautiful venue.
Married May 2023
The venue is absolutely stunning, with so many choices for ceremony locations and endless photo opportunities. Our guests all complimented the quality of the food and loved the espresso martinis we served after dinner.
We loved that so many of our family and friends could stay at the venue with us, and the breakfast the next morning was great. The getting-ready rooms for both the bride and groom were fantastic. Even with some light rain, the venue ensured we could have our wedding outside in the rose garden, which was picture-perfect, with the old keep in the background of our photos.
Our coordinator, Gema, was incredible at every step of the planning process and was calm, organised and professional on the day. We would definitely recommend Farnham Castle to other couples getting married in Surrey!
Married September 2024
From our first visit to Farnham we knew that this was the wedding venue for us. Gema, who showed us around, was amazing, informative, and so welcoming! We were then lucky enough to have Laura as our wedding coordinator who was just a dream! She was such a calming presence on the day and couldn’t do enough for us.
All of the staff were incredible and everything was completely perfect. All of our guests were stunned by the venue and highly praised the food.
We cannot recommend Farnham Castle enough, it was everything we wished for and more!
Married August 2024
Thank you so so much. You were absolutely amazing. The day was even better than I hoped. All my guests had a wonderful time. We are just so grateful to you and the team. Thank you for bringing calmness, humour and laughter to the day.
Married June 2024
We wanted to say thank you to all of you for making our wedding day on Friday such a memorable occasion. I think anyone’s wedding would be memorable, but I don’t expect everyone receives so many glowing compliments from their guests on how it is the best wedding venue they have attended. The food has had no end of plaudits, thank you.
So much work goes on behind the scenes – thank you all for your help in the build-up and delivering in spades on the day.
We had lots of compliments on how friendly and helpful the reception team were every time someone phoned to book a room or ask a question. The grounds are looking great, and also had lots of positive remarks.
Married June 2024
We cannot thank the Farnham Castle team enough for all of the efforts, patience, and amazing organisation that went into the day. Laura, you are such an asset to the Farnham team, and our wedding would not have gone as perfectly as it did without you being a part of the whole process. Any future Farnham couple is very lucky to have you as their wedding coordinator. You were an absolute dream.
Married April 2023
It was the most amazing day, and we are so grateful to you and the team. You were just fabulous, and we can’t thank you enough. In particular, I felt so at ease in the run-up to the day because I knew no question was too small to ask. I felt listened to with my plans, and you gave really good advice based on past experiences at the venue. Your professionalism all day was incredible, and your stamina is insane! Pete wanted to say that you were unbelievably under pressure, and we didn’t notice any stress (even though they were no doubt there). I run events for a living, so to give up control to someone else is challenging, but I couldn’t have had a more perfect person support us – thank you. Thank you again because it was honestly the most perfect day.
