The best day ever!
We got married at Fanhams hall on August 4th 2024. We honestly had the best day, couldn’t have asked for anything more. The whole process with Fanhams hall was incredible and very easy we didn’t really have to do anything and they helped us whenever we needed it. Claire was fantastic, she came out to help organise our bridal party the day before our wedding during our rehearsal. On the day every staff member did everything they could to make our day special and easy for us and it really was incredible we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our friends and family were commenting on how amazing the venue and the staff were. We also used a lot of the suppliers recommended by Fanhams hall which was a great decision, not only were they excellent but they knew exactly where everything was and how to set things up so this added to a totally stress free day!

Wholeheartedly recommend Fanhams Hall
We had our wedding at Fanhams Hall on 30th June 2024. Our day was perfect. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Fanhams Hall to couples which are looking for the place for their wedding. Symphonie was brilliant in helping plan for the day, and Rachel , the Event Manager, and her team couldn't have done more. The food was also amazing. All guests thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Couldn't have imagined a better day!
Quickly I wanted to say a huge huge thank you for making Friday so special for me and James. We couldn’t have imagined a better day! You really delivered. And Rachel the idea for the glow sticks was pure genius, thank you so much! I’m sure you hear it all the time but you are superstars and the guests have only had great things to say about the day and the staff! I’ll write a proper thank you shortly but couldn’t email and not tell you how happy we are.

Any happy couple could dream for
With a meticulous attention to every detail, no stone was left unturned in the planning and preparation for the big day. The team at Fanhams were so helpful in answering our questions throughout the process, and were able to make it perfect for us. The day went as smoothly as any happy couple could dream for, with an exceptional team on hand throughout. We couldn't be happier.

Team went above and beyond
We just wanted to reach out & say thank you so much for making our day so special, you & your team went above & beyond in making us have such a wonderful day/stay. The day ran so smoothly, the food was amazing, plus the staff were so good to our little Lottie as well. We’ve made memories to last a lifetime!

Loved every single second
Just a quick one to say, thank you so much!! We both had the most incredible day and loved every single second. None of it would have been made possible without the two of you and we’re hugely grateful for all of your help and support along the way

Fanhams Hall know their stuff
Claire was our co-ordinator on the day and she ran everything we can't thank her enough for the hard work she put in. We were lucky the weather played ball so we were able to make use of the extensive immaculately manicured gardens.We had so many compliments on the venue, the food and general smooth running of the day.If you want a stress free wedding I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fanhams, they know their stuff. Weddings and events are their bread and butter so book them, you won't regret it!
