THE BUSH HOTEL 01252 715 237 | www.farnhambush.com The Bush Hotel has been welcoming guests through its doors since 1618. Situated in the heart of historical Farnham and surrounded by the beautiful Surrey Hills, the property boasts many original features, including paintings, fireplaces, panelling and timber beams. However, with more modern and opulent design features throughout, The Bush Hotel feels like the perfect blend of old and new. After guests arrive, they’ll walk through the tranquil garden and enjoy views of the ivy-clad Hotel and the sun terrace. At the front of the venue, there’s a private cobbled courtyard, which still has some of the coaching inn’s original features. In the heart of the Hotel on the ground floor, the Oak Lounge is a historical, panelled room dating back to the 15th century, which can hold up to 50 guests for the ceremony and 30 for a seated meal. With original features, two log fires and doors leading out to the terrace and gardens, it’s an ideal location for a more intimate celebration, great in any season. Alternatively, The Garden Restaurant is a bright, spacious, and flexible space with views of the Hotel’s garden and a large open log fire. Located on the ground floor with easy access to the garden terrace, reception and the bar, it can accommodate up to 90 loved ones throughout the day. The largest space, which can hold up to 120 people, is the recently refurbished Redgrave Suite. This venue is separate but adjacent to the main hotel and accessed via the garden. The Bush Suite is complimentary to the two of you on the night of your wedding, and you’ll also receive a free menu tasting. There are 94 bedrooms on-site, and friends and family will receive a discounted rate for the night of the wedding.

It also has 15 feature bedrooms, and for that extra indulgence, The Bryon Suite located in the tower is spread over three floors and makes a wonderful choice for a honeymoon suite. Inspired by the Neo-Gothic splendour of the Palace of Westminster, this is a one-of-a-kind Victorian mansion, dating back to 1872 and full of character and charm. It also boasts a castle turret – the ideal accompaniment to a fairytale wedding. Each of the rooms inside Nutfield Priory are full of character. Originally the Morning Room, the Worth Room is ideal if you’re looking to hold your wedding ceremony surrounded only by your nearest and dearest (20 guests). Small enough to feel cosy, but with a high ceiling and original fireplace it has a special feel. The Gibson Room (80 ceremony, 60 wedding breakfast guests) with its warm and elegant feel is a popular choice for ceremonies, and its ornate ceiling and wood panelling give it an undeniable sense of grandeur. You’ll have a fantastic view over the grounds too. Plus, gold chandeliers and original pier mirrors provide glamour and sparkle. The Fielden Suite (100 ceremony, 100 wedding breakfast, 140 evening guests) offers you a long aisle ending at the feature bay window. There’s plenty of natural light and the neutral décor is perfectly suited for any palette. With a private bar, cloakroom and outdoor terrace it’s ideal for larger weddings. The Leigh Room, the old housekeeper’s pantry is ideal for small wedding breakfasts from eight to 20 of your closest friends and family. It’s at its best with everyone seated around a social oval table. Exclusive-use weddings can also utilise The Grand Hall (70 wedding breakfast, 200 evening guests), with rich wood panelling, stained-glass windows, carved marble fireplace and original antique organ. The venue offers a wedding coordinator, wedding handbook, an invitation to up to four wedding events annually (including two County Wedding Events fairs), a menu tasting with wines, a personal wedding manager to guide you through the day and a stay in a suite on the wedding night. www.megandonatiphotography.com www.alixjamesphotography.com www.andrewfranklin.co.uk www.3dhphotography.com 31 WINTER VENUES
