Testimonials
Francesco and Hannah both went out of their way to ensure that our special day went smoothly from start to finish. We can’t thank them enough, would highly recommend this hotel as a wedding venue.

From our initial meeting to our wedding day, the staff at the Bush Hotel made every effort to help us plan the wedding of our dreams and ensure the day ran smoothly. The food was amazing and all our guests commented on the quality of the meal. The bridal suite was lovely with nice views of the hotel. On the day, we used the lawn at the front for our welcome drinks before moving inside for our meal. The venue was decorated really nicely by the staff and we were also able to drop-off our own decorations a few days before (which took off the pressure of having to do that on the day). Special thanks to Hannah and Francesco who went above and beyond to support our wedding.

The Bush Hotel was fantastic. The whole team was excellent from start to finish. From Hannah and Kash who helped with our preparation to Francesco who ran the show on the day, plus the excellent service staff. It was very nice to meet them as we enjoyed being around them. They are friendly and polite, and truly made a very good impression on both of us.
Our wedding meal was amazing, our guests were saying the three-course meal was delicious and all our guests had plenty on their plates to eat. We were happy to hear that our guests were full and enjoyed every course. We were looked after very nicely and they made us feel welcome, cared for, and comfortable. We made beautiful memories and would love to come back for a special meal in the future. Our wedding suite was truly beautiful, high quality, and nicely decorated. It is a dream room to stay in. The hotel is stunning, it has character, and it is designed to amaze anybody who walks in. A great venue in the heart of Farnham

Thank you so much for making our day so memorable. It was a joy having you manage the day and knowing I could rely on you to sort the problems - rain was not part of the plan! It was such a wonderful day and the food was delicious. Please thank everyone who helped make it so special.

Hi Hannah! We just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you for everything you did on Saturday! It was amazing to have complete faith that you would have everything under control and we are truly grateful for providing us with such a great day. We have left a review on TripAdvisor but also wanted to add here that every single member of staff that worked on the day was so kind, professional and friendly. We honestly don’t have a bad word to say about the venue or service that was provided so a huge thank you from us to all that worked serving the food and behind the bar in the evening. Best wishes, Molly

We wanted to send a huge thank you for our fabulous wedding on Saturday. There was a lot of pressure on me (from friends) because I have worked in events all my life and do know how to throw a good party so people were not shy to say "we are expecting great things Amy". To my delight and relief I have had a silly number of guests tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to - and I'm choosing to take that as truth and not just flattery! In particular the comments have been how "amazing the food was" - it seems in particular the canapes were a huge hit. I didn't actually eat any as I was too busy with photos but a number of my foodie friends continue to tell me how good they were. So kudos to the kitchen team who delivered those. Hannah made a wonderful job of the dinner tables, carefully positioning my delicate and slightly complicated candlestick set-up, and the room looked gorgeous as we new it would. I thought the macaroons as a favour looked lovely and generally all the colours worked so great together. I hope there will be some nice professional photos to share. Thank you also to the reception team who were so pleasant and accommodating. The bar staff at the Redgrave Suite were also great but in particular we wanted to call out Olivia who fabulous and smiley and so wonderful with everyone. The supervisor that evening was also really great at communicating the bar tab and asking if there was anything else I wanted. Finally thank you to Hannah for accommodating all my asks from furniture moving to drinks on consumption. It is often the benefit of having your event somewhere smaller and independent - there is a bit more flexibility.
