What They Say

  • Ali & Alex

    Planning a wedding is a stressful thing and even on the day you're constantly worrying about everything and everyone. Faye and the team at Glenmore House made the experience so perfect in the lead up and the day that we felt totally comfortable letting them handle everything and focus on ourselves and our wedding. The venue was beautiful, the staff were fantastic, the food was phenomenal (I was too nervous to eat a lot of it unfortunately but the bits I did have were amazing!). Faye put me entirely at ease from the moment we first engaged her and the team and Glenmore and was even emailing with me at 1am when we had some people drop out and I was panicking! My favourite thing about the whole experience was how bespoke it was. My partner and I did not have a lot of money for the wedding and we were cutting costs left right and centre. Faye laid out all of our options, the prices of EVERYTHING and what we could add or remove. We managed to get exactly what we wanted for an amazing price and all of our guests were very impressed with the venue (especially when we said the price of it all!). We had a guest who had an accident during the wedding and broke a glass. Faye and her team did such a great job handling it that I didn't even know until the next day! I could not have asked for a better service and I would HIGHLY recommend Glenmore House for your wedding if you want a bespoke, cost friendly, fun wedding. Thank you Glenmore House!

  • Vickey Waldon

    Our wedding on Saturday exceeded our expectations in every way! You and your team were amazing and our day was more than perfect in every way. The co ordination of Faye and her team was outstanding… everyone says don’t sweat the little things as something always goes wrong but I can honestly say if it did we didn’t notice. Compliments again the chef, the food was so good and from the feedback on the day and after everyone has said out of all the weddings they have been too the food at a standard they have never had before. Honestly our appreciation for how you handled our day and last minute booking, we don’t know how to thank you enough. You are all amazing, thank you again so so much! We will recommend Glenmore House over and over again.

  • Hsein & Heiko

    Glenmore House is an amazing venue and so close to Surbiton station which makes easier for people to travel to. Plenty of parking space and there is a garden directly opposite for pictures opportunity. My husband and I fell in love with this venue and we decided to hold our wedding on 16th September 2023 at the Elizabethan Suite. It was a perfect and an amazing wedding experience. Our host Faye and the team were always on hand throughout the day and it went so smoothly. They made our day so at ease. Faye was great and so helpful :). The food was excellent and all of my guests were complimentary of the food - thanks to the Chef and the team. It was a perfect wedding experience. Thank you Faye and all the team.

  • Sammy & Oz

    If I could give more points - I would. Faye and the team were absolutely amazing, and have gone beyond our expectations of our wedding. We are so happy that we chose our wedding at the Glenmore house, it was welcoming, special and so unique mainly because of the warm attitude and Faye’s amazing organisational skills (especially considering some traditions that we had). We would not change anything for our wedding. Glenmore House is also so beautiful and also reasonably priced for London. We had amazing feedback about the staff, food, and design. We definitely recommend Faye for any events - you’ll be in safe hands. Thank you so much.

  • Terry & Nicky

    We booked Glenmore House for our wedding (March 2020). We knew instantly when we walked in that this is where we wanted to get married, especially after meeting Faye and her team. I cannot recommend Glenmore House highly enough. Unfortunately we could not have the wedding we originally planned due to exceptional circumstances (coronavirus pandemic) However, Faye and her team were so supportive and did everything they could possibly do to give us a memorable and fantastic wedding day. We are so grateful to Faye & the MD for ensuring that our special day could still go ahead and for keeping our spirits up. As soon as we are able to we will be booking Glenmore House again to have the wedding reception that we originally planned with all our friends and family that were unfortunately unable to attend due to the circumstances. Lastly Faye thank you so much, for your calmness, humour, efficiency, advice, help and for being an exceptional person. With warmest regards, Terry & Nicky Butler

  • Kim & Jackie

    Faye, Jackie and I just wanted to thank you and your team for a fantastic day on the 29th November it could not have gone better and sorry I didn’t get to thank you in person on the Sunday when I came to settle the bar bill but understandably after such a late night you deserved a little lie in. Everyone commented on how wonderful Glenmore House was from the food down to the staff so we cannot thank you enough for making it a day that Jackie and I will both never forget for the rest of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for us. Take care……..and thank you Kim and Jackie

  • Magda & Mark Pettman

    I would like to thank Faye, Robbie and everyone at Glenmore House for the most amazing day ever. It was a very stressful day from the beginning, I was running late but they stayed calm and collected, led me to the registrar interview and walked through every minute of the ceremony. Faye was always asking if everything was ok, but it was more than ok, it was perfect. I could not praise the chef enough, the food was a work of art, it looked beautiful and it tasted even better. I mean, it was like eating in a Michelin star restaurant, fantastic service and great looking and tasting food. Everything went smoothly, and the day was amazing. Robbie even drove my husband’s parents to the hotel, even though they were staying just down the road, that’s how thoughtful they are. Massive thank you to John Rahim, Glenmore’s recommended photographer. He was there from the beginning, was very calm and great at crowd control. I cannot wait to see the photos. Another massive thank you goes to John Brewer, venue’s photographer, who was absolutely amazing. Created a fantastic atmosphere during the meal with his background music. He played great songs, everyone loved the music, he also played every single song that our guests requested. Everything was just perfect and I could not recommend Glenmore House, John Rahim and John Brewer more. I would most definitely book Glenmore House, John Rahim and John Brewer for my next wedding 😉

  • Lizzie & Neil

    Faye and her team did such an amazing job with our wedding! Originally booked for April 2020 we had to postpone to October 2020. We decided to go ahead with the restrictions of 15 people and it’s as a beautiful day. The value for money was excellent and Faye and her team made it all flow so beautifully. I can’t thank them enough for helping us through the postponement and rebooking process.

  • Martyn and Becky

    We held our wedding reception at Glenmore house on the 23/05/15. Faye was our coordinator. From start to finish she was helpful, professional, friendly and reliable at all times , she really understood what we wanted from our day and we got everything and more we could have wished for. Our guests were overwhelmed by the high standard of food and the service received from all members of staff on the day. The room set up looked stunning, We could not have been happier with our choice, our day was amazing thank you so much Faye and the team, Martyn and Becky

  • Emma & Jamie

    We had the most wonderful wedding day at Glenmore House. Faye and her team were amazing from the day we booked a viewing. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We fell in love with the venue straight away, the ceremony room was perfect with two gorgeous stain glass windows and the Elizabethan suite was so magical on its own that all we needed was table decorations. We feel so lucky that we were able to find such a gem of a venue for such a reasonable price. We had the most perfect day and the team ensured everything went to plan and completely took the stress of the day away from us. The food was delicious and the staff were outstanding. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much. xxx

  • Lucy

    We had our wedding at Glenmore house in October 2021, which was postponed from 2020. Faye was great throughout the whole process, from initial booking and rescheduling! They were very accommodating and flexible with any requests and ideas we had, and the food was fantastic! The day itself ran smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Cost wise Glenmore is excellent value for money, the serving and bar staff were excellent, as was the recommended DJ. Our guests were impressed with the food, staff and venue, and I will absolutely be recommending Glenmore House to engaged friends, and will definitely be back for our next event!

  • Jennah & Michael

    We are beyond thrilled with the incredible job Faye and her team did with our wedding. From cocktail hour to the end of the night, they were flawless. Wedding planning can obviously be a stressful time, but Faye was an absolute gem to work with. We so appreciated her calm, upbeat attitude throughout the process, not to mention her endless patience with our hemming, hawing, and constant readjusting of details in the final weeks. Even our guests commented to us how great Faye was, and how friendly and helpful every member of the staff was throughout the night. From the welcome canapes to dinner, not to mention the ridiculously awesome spread for the evening snack, our guests were stuffed to the max with delicious food. And the venue......it's so beautifully presented and we loved having the bar area separate from the main hall as it allowed people to the freedom to boogie on down or drink and chat without shouting to be heard. My husband and I had high hopes when we picked Glenmore House as our venue, but what we got in the end far surpassed what we dreamed of (we really cannot stress enough just what an incredible deal Glenmore House is for everything that you get). When we woke up the morning after, we were ready to plan another wedding just so we could enjoy another night like that. We're pretty determined to find something else to celebrate there soon.

  • Tony Frier (Father of the Bride)

    We really couldn’t have dreamed of a more wonderful day than the one Glenmore House helped to provide. From the very first contact they were professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and simply couldn’t do enough to ensure the day went smoothly. We had some fairly unique requests but they took them on board and delivered the perfect day. They even managed to hold off the rain until after the photos were taken! We’d looked at quite a few alternatives but Glenmore House just ticked all our boxes for being stylish, affordable and flexible. Huge thanks to Faye and her colleagues for providing such a memorable day.

    "We honestly could not have been more happy about how our wedding at Glenmore House went. We had been really struggling to find a venue that would be both within our budget and also cater for our large group, and some of our key needs. From start to finish Faye was incredible, taking into account everything we asked for, helping with suggestions, and generally making sure all the preparation was sorted. On the day itself her and her team surpassed even our wildest expectations! The food was incredible, reception delightful, they were so accommodating with our personal decorations and orders, and then went above and beyond throughout the day. We still have guests commenting on how amazing it was, and in particular the small details that were just outstanding (especially finding a private space for a 5 month old to nap and sign posting it for quiet!). How incredible the dining room looked during the meal, and as well when the lights went out to party, blew us away and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. We were incredibly impressed and it was just a perfect day. Thank you so much to all of the Glenmore House Team, and in particular Faye for making it the best day of our lives. "

    "We had the best experience at Glenmore House. From the moment we saw the venue we were taken with the unique and elegant Regency style ballroom and the convenience of the modern bar in the adjacent room. During the planning process, Faye was brilliant. She listened to our ideas and gave us excellent advice as to what would and wouldn't work, ultimately making sure that the vision we had for the day was fully realised. We wanted something classy, but also relaxed and fun and the feedback from all our guests had focused on how full of joy and happiness the day was. Much of that was due to the fact that Faye and her team handled everything so efficiently and professionally. We didn't have to worry about anything and all the staff were friendly and helpful, making sure everyone had what they needed and everything ran like clockwork. I am a self-confessed micro manager and control freak, but Faye is so good that even I was able to relax and let her be in charge of the running of the day - this is a feat, believe me, and credit to Faye's excellent organisational skills! By the end of the night, all the staff were still smiling and helpful, despite some very 'committed' party guests being determined to enjoy the evening until the last second! We were able to leave our decor and bits and pieces and collect them the next morning, which was really helpful. All in all, we had a WONDERFUL day and our only regret is that we can't do it all again. We cannot thank Faye and the team enough or recommend Glenmore more highly. Total spend for venue, reception drinks, canapés, wedding breakfast, wine, Prosecco for toasts and evening buffet - £7145! Does it get better than this?! "
