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!
