Testimonials
2022
Getting married at Woldingham School was an utterly magical event. The beautiful driveway, handsome mansion and gorgeous grounds are an incredibly lovely setting. You feel as if you are in the heart of the countryside, yet it is actually really easy for people to reach from London by train or elsewhere by car. Having the entire venue and being able to use several stunning rooms was a key attraction and it really paid off. We loved the versatility and flexibility of being able to use the different rooms for the key events of the day plus several different evening entertainments. The staff at the school were phenomenal from start to finish, both with the planning and on the day itself. Everyone was so helpful. It was genuinely the best day of our lives and the school played a huge part in achieving that. We wish we could do it again and we are so so happy that we chose the school.”
Thank you so much for all your help Faye with the planning. You were fantastic and we appreciate all of you patience, suggestions and advice. But we had a phenomenal day and are so grateful to you and all the team at the School.

Thank you for arranging my wedding so beautifully. The venue looked lovely and we have been inundated with texts and emails from everyone who came saying how much they enjoyed the food and the setting.

We have had so many friends and family members tell us how stunning the venue was and we wholeheartedly agree, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place for our special day (and the weather hugely helped). The ability for us to have a catholic ceremony on-site was truly fantastic and was such an important thing for us, the fact everything could happen in one place was more than we could have asked for.
Faye, you as events coordinator were so helpful and understanding especially given how difficult the planning with us being far away and unable to visit that frequently during the pandemic.
Overall it was a stunning day and I cannot recommend the venue enough. Everyone was so friendly and attentive it made me relax and feel like I could be completely hands off on the day.

A rather belatedly thank you, to all the staff who made K & J’s wedding such a special event.
The whole day was perfect, the wedding breakfast and evening buffet delicious and many of our friends also commented on the staff who were discreet, yet efficient and charming.
Our two older children had memorable wedding receptions at lovely venues (Clandon Park and Hampton Court House) but Woldingham easily matched those and our guests were delighted that they could just walk from the chapel into the reception.

We cannot thank the amazing team at Woldingham for making our wedding day so perfect. We couldn't have imagined a better venue and the service was first class. It's very stressful planning a wedding mid-pandemic but Woldingham made everything as easy and calm for us as possible. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and the food was delicious. We particularly loved all of the different rooms available which meant the different parts of the wedding felt special and different in their own space especially with the torrential rain we had. Could not recommend any more highly!
Thank you again for everything!

Excellent venue.
Faye and the team are excellent. From first viewing the venue, up until the wedding day - whatever queries I had, Faye would always respond quickly. Everything appeared to be very organised and it all ran so smoothly on the wedding day which really took the stress off of us.
All the wedding guests mentioned how incredible the staff were - from serving the plates and knowing exactly who was eating what, to making sure the water dispenser was always full. Thank you also for finding alternate dishes (which weren’t boring!) for people with allergies. All the staff I encountered were very pleasant, polite and helpful.
Thank you again, we really did have the best day at your beautiful venue.

I couldn't recommend Marden Park Mansion enough. The team is so friendly and hands-on and went out of their way to make my day perfect. I planned my wedding from Asia and all communication was thorough, personal and fast, I had complete confidence in the Marden Park Mansion's Team so when I arrived back for the wedding it was all very smooth and stress free. Marden Park Mansion's team was so personal, compared to other venues we had visited before I felt really taken care of.
