FAQS

How many people can we have at our wedding?

We can accommodate up to 120 guests for your wedding breakfast in the Great Hall, and up to 130 in the Lakeside Pavilion. For your evening reception, we can accommodate up to 200 for your evening reception on both sides of Fanhams Hall. We also have some smaller spaces including the Oak Room which can accommodate more intimate weddings.

Do you have menus for people with requirements or vegetarian/vegan options?

Absolutely! We have a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from, alternatively you are welcome to chat to our chefs about menu ideas you may have of your own. As long as we know about guests who have a dietary requirement in advance of your wedding we will ensure they are catered for too.

Will our wedding be the only one taking place at Fanhams Hall on our wedding day?

Occasionally we do host two weddings on the same day. Everything is kept completely separate, you will have your own bar areas, ceremony rooms, reception space and toilets; and we make sure we co-ordinate with you so your timings are staggered so there is no cross over. You will also have your own dedicated event manager and waiting team who will be looking after just you and your guests. We do offer the option to hire Fanhams Hall exclusively, please just ask the wedding team for more information.

Can we get married outside at Fanhams Hall? And what happens if it rains?

Each side of the hotel has an option to host your civil ceremony outside in our beautiful grounds. If you have booked the Lakeside Pavilion you are welcome to use our Japanese Tea House; and if you have booked the Great Hall you can choose between the Japanese Tea House or the Gazebo Lawn for your outdoor ceremony. An indoor wet weather option will also always be booked inside the hotel in case of rain and the registry office on the day will make the final decision.

Do you offer corkage or allow external catering?

All of the food and drink are provided by Fanhams Hall; but if there is something particular that you would like then please do let us know as our team of chefs are very creative and love to work with couples on new ideas! Corkage isn't permitted but our bar team are always on hand to look into sourcing particular drinks for couples. They are also great at creating special wedding day cocktails too!

Testimonials

Where do I even begin? There are not enough words to thank everyone enough at Fanhams for ensuring our wedding day was perfect in every way. The staff were absolutely incredible and our day ran so smoothly. All of our guests couldn't stop complimenting the venue, from the beautiful grounds to the friendly staff and the delicious food. Everyone we spoke to told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! From the moment we first viewed Fanhams Hall, we fell in love with it. We absolutely loved the stunning great hall and long gallery. Symphonie first showed us around and from that moment she was there for us all the way through the planning process and up until the day before the wedding, she was amazing. Symphonie was so lovely and supportive, always on hand to answer any questions and offer advice. An absolute credit to Fanhams wedding team! The week before the wedding, we met Rachel, our function manager for the day. She went through every little detail with us and ensured that everything was in order for our big day and that we had no worries or concerns. We just want to say the biggest thank you to Rachel, she worked so hard all day to ensure our wedding day was everything we wanted it to be and she just made our day run so smoothly. Fanhams are so lucky to have Rachel, she's an absolute star! So many people have commented on how amazing she was, she really couldn't do enough for us throughout the whole day and ensured that everyone was happy and having the best time. Also, a big shout out to Florin who was also amazing on our day, we first met Florin at our menu tasting and he was so friendly. He worked alongside Rachel on our special day to ensure that everyone was where they should be and doing what they should be doing! You were both just incredible. We attended a wedding menu tasting in the months leading up to the wedding where we got to sample some of the delicious canapés and dishes, we then selected our choices for the wedding day. The food on our day did not disappoint and everybody absolutely loved it, from the selection of canapés to the wedding breakfast meal. The staff were very attentive and served the food quickly. Fanhams were very accommodating for our guests with dietary requirements, and these guests were extremely pleased with how well they were catered for. The evening 'fish and chip shop' buffet was also delicious (so we've been told, neither of us actually had any as we were too busy partying)! On the night of our wedding we stayed in the Chestnut suite, the most beautiful room with absolutely stunning views. It was so spacious with lots of facilities, the bed was soo comfy and the bathroom was amazing. My only negative comment is that we didn't get to stay in there long enough to make the most of it! There is so much more we could say about this incredible venue and their staff, but we would honestly be here all day. So, we would just like to say thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our day as perfect as it was. We really did have the best day of our lives, it was everything we had dreamed of and more! Mr & Mrs Griffin X

Thank you so much for making our big day this amazing, everything was perfect! After having viewed so many venues for our wedding, we stumbled across Fanhams Hall. I can safely say that this was the best wedding venue, everything we could ask for!! Both Florin and Lauren made sure that our big day was everything we wanted, perfection!

Florin did an amazing job making us feel special and made sure our wedding day was perfect. There was nothing he couldn’t do for us and made sure everything was just right. we even stayed an extra night and florin was working that evening and made sure we where looked after for the extra night. Everything else about Fanham all is brilliant, all there staff where very friendly and were always helpful. The food was superb, not just for the wedding breakfast but all the food we had throughout our stay. All in all we couldn’t recommend Fanhams Hall enough to anyone who was looking for a wedding venue that can do it all - and definitely ask for Florin with his incredible team including Luke who was just so lovely and could not do enough for us! We were blown away. Thank you!

Thank you so much for everything. Our day was amazing and your staff was just incredible. Our photo booth cancelled on the day and we didn’t even consider finding another at such short notice but Rachel found one and was setting it up within a couple of hours, we couldn’t be more thankful.

Hayley and Harry- December 2022

We had the best day so thank you so much. The building is beautiful but it’s the staff that I loved most – they were so helpful and caring and made our day so very special. Thank you and all your team for helping towards such a wonderful day. We’ve had so many lovely comments about what an amazing day so thank you for your part in making that.
