Outstanding

The Faversham went out of their way to make sure our day was perfect, nothing was too much trouble. Value for money is excellent, love the central location and how you move throughout the property. Kept the day fresh. The in house catering was outstanding, we've had comments from guests to say it's the best food they've had at a wedding. Truly can't write enough glowing comments to do the team and venue justice. Would not hesitate in recommending.

The most incredible wedding venue and experience!

I honestly do not know where to begin - The Faversham venue alone is stunning, which is the initial reason for choosing this venue for our special day. However, it is the amazing staff -Deb, Jess, Holly (to name a few!) who truly made the run up to and the day of our wedding, simply beyond incredible. From the beginning of booking the event, the staff were beyond generous with their time and patience; whether it was promptly answering the millions of questions we had, letting us stop by to check various details, or accommodating any special request we had-nothing was ever too much! In addition, our guests have not stopped praising the food, wine, bar/food staff and uniqueness of the venue overall. If you are able to book your event here, I would take the opportunity, immediately! We simply cannot recommend The Faversham enough!

An incredible experience from start to finish

We had our wedding here recently and couldn't recommend it any more! The team they have at the Faversham are absolutely brilliant, always on hand to answer our queries, doing everything they could to cater to our needs and going out of their way to recommend suppliers/companies to use on our big day. The actual day itself couldn't have gone any better too, the service & organisation throughout the day was top tier and we had so many guests comment to us about it, with some saying it was easily the best service & food (supplied by the fantastic Bears Pantry catering company) they'd experienced at a wedding! Big, big thanks to Hannah, Jess, Karen, Debs & all at the Faversham for truly making our day an unforgettable one!

Helped us have our dream wedding; 10/10 team!

The team at the Faversham have been incredibly helpful from day 1 - we had the best day of our lives on our wedding day and we've got to thank Deb, Hannah and the rest of the team for playing a huge part in this! We chose the Faversham for it's fun, relaxed and personal vibe that we just weren't finding in the 10+ venues we checked out across Yorkshire. We also didn't want to spend lots of time finding suppliers, so having the Faversham recommend experts they've worked with previously who also shared the same ethos as us, was a massive help. Communication with The Faversham team has been perfect - quick responses, helpful advice and a positive attitude throughout made working them super easy. Wedding planning can be stressful but Hannah and the team had everything covered on the day (from laying out our party favours, playing the ceremony music, to switching the layout of rooms, and more). They took care of hundreds of small decisions allowing us to fully enjoy our special day with zero stress. We received so many compliments about the venue, the staff, the food and everything about the Faversham, that I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to get married!

After 2 postponements we finally got our special day in July, and what a day it was! The staff at the Faversham are truely fantastic, they put us at ease at ever step and were so organised and on top of everything, we didn't need to worry about a thing. From the planning, preparation to the day and night itself, we couldn't of been happier with anything. The venue itself is stunning and my guests have still not stopped raving about how amazing the food was from bears pantry!

Gorgeous wedding venue

The Fav is a lovely relaxed venue and was perfect for our laidback city centre wedding - the whole team were amazing during the planning process, answered all our questions in the run-up, and were unbelievably helpful on the day making sure it all ran smoothly. It was all so easy and stress free, can’t recommend enough. Lots of our guests have commented on what a great venue it is too. A huge thank you to the whole team!

10/10 Wedding

What an amazing experience we had with The Faversham. We booked halfway through covid and despite on and off restrictions and new staff running the venue everything was amazing. All of our requests and last min changes were completed and the venue looked AMAZING. Our guests have all said it’s the best wedding they’ve been to, including our videographer/best man who has done many many weddings. Our highlights were the staff, the venue decor and the food!! Thanks for a wonderful experience and making our day so special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The Faversham are pros!

The staff at the Faversham are attentive, on it and really know what the are doing. Our day was effortless and we just enjoyed the whole thing knowing that Deb, Hannah and Jess had all bases covered. The suppliers they use, namely Shindig and Bear's Pantry are also amazing.

Personal, unique venue oozing character and style!

The Faversham is such a unique venue in the heart of Leeds City Centre. I have never been in a venue like it for weddings which makes it extra special. Spread across 3 large indoor spaces and 2 outdoor, our wedding flowed perfectly and gave us and our guests variety throughout the day! I have had SO MUCH positive feedback from guests about the venue, the food, the staff; I honestly couldn't have asked for more. The team who support in particular Debs and Hannah from events and Karen from Bears Pantry are so responsive and completely put me at ease with any queries. One of the main reasons we chose the Fav was because we didn't want a generic wedding at a hotel in a room with no soul. They don't force a "package" style wedding on you, they work with you to bespoke and curate what works for you making valuable suggestions and give great advice. If you want something different, personal to you with support from an amazing experienced team at a unique venue - LOOK NO FURTHER!

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Faversham?

We take pride in allowing couples to bring their ideas to life. We hosted a wedding that took place during a Leeds Vs Manchester game. The Bride and Groom walked into their wedding breakfast to 'Marching on together' with all their guests waving Leeds scarves in the air to welcome their arrival. It's a shame Leeds lost :/

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Our top tip for all couples is to never let stress take over the planning of your wedding. Try to get everything organised, the sooner the better but we are always here to help you every step of the way.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We hosted one wedding where the Bride made most of the decorations for her wedding. It was lovely to see the Bride's creations and hard work featured within the venue where she could show off to her friends and family.

Describe The Faversham in 5 adjectives

Unique, quirky, intimate, private, memorable

Where’s the best photo spot at The Faversham?

We have two amazing photo spots that are a hit with our couples. Our first, is the famous confetti shot that takes place outside the main entrance of The Faversham. It's a great action shot to remember those first moment after saying 'I do'. Our second favourite photo spot is in our lounge. We have three tall windows situated at the front of the lounge. Couples love to take intimate shots here of just the two of them. These in intimate moments are ones to cherish on your wedding day.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Faversham?

We have never had a celebrity guest at our venue, but if we were to have one we would love one of the team members from Leeds United Football club. How cool would that be!!

What’s your favourite canapé?

This is a hard one because they are all so delicious. The top favourite that is always a first pick when couples come to choose their canapes is the frittura di pesce. Salt and pepper fried prawns in a cone, great for a little bite to eat during your drinks reception.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Here at The Faversham we have so many options for that late night treat while you're dancing the night away. You can choose from canapes, bowl food but our all time favourite is our Bears Pantry grazing table. The grazing tables create a real 'wow' factor and guests and couples have been blown away at how amazing the food looks. The grazing table is a selection of nibbles on a long table for guests to pick and choose from.

What is The Faversham most unique feature?

Our most unique feature is the conservatory. This room can be used for your ceremony or if you have a small, intimate wedding breakfast this room is perfect for just that. With its living walls, original flooring and foliage hanging from the ceiling and fairy lights throughout the room, this room really stands out amongst the rest.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We pride ourselves in allowing couples imaginations to run free when planning their wedding day. We like to be as flexible as possible to make every couples wedding day uniquely fitted to them.
