Weddings at The Crown
Exclusively Yours
For over 230 years The Crown Inn, nestled in the beautiful village of Farnham Royal on the Berkshire/Buckinghamshire border, has been making memories and can now be yours for your special day.
Our latest chapter, Chris Wheeler at The Crown Inn, builds on our heritage whilst offering a contemporary twist. In the heat of the summer, enjoy the views as you step out into our beautiful two-acre garden surrounded by fields and open greenbelt. Share your special day with up to 120 guests for a seated wedding breakfast, or 200+ for a ‘royal’ sharing feast, in our exclusive stretched tent before retreating into the Inn for your private after party.
For something more traditional, we offer an intimate seated gathering for 20 – 100 in our atmospheric, grade 2 listed, contemporary Inn complete with crackling fire should the season dictate.
Whether you choose a traditional wedding breakfast under our summer stretched tent or our famous ‘royal’ sharing experience they both showcase our commitment to offering high quality food in a comfortable and homely setting accompanied by great customer service.
Come and explore the many options we have for you to experience your wedding at The Crown Inn. My team is here to fully support you and create the magic for your big day.
The Venue
The Crown Inn offers a variety of exclusive spaces for your special day both within the Inn or al fresco in our extensive grounds. Whether an intimate setting for a more formal seated wedding breakfast or a more chilled festival feel within our two-acres of grounds, complete with stretch tent, either way your guests can enjoy the perfect after party in your very own Inn for the night as you can dance the night away and the festivities can continue in to the early morning.
With a variety of spaces to suit all parties and with a wedding breakfast beginning at only £49, prepared by the award winning chef Chris Wheeler you are assured of a amazing day whatever the season.
For a more intimate setting during Spring and Summer, our outside Pagoda’s offer an exclusive space to celebrate your special day, or inside we have the barn. For those slightly larger gatherings we have the garden room restaurant flowing out into the garden for those summer months. Or for larger weddings we can offer the Crown Inn ‘exclusively yours’, complete with our outside bar and stretch tent, full use of the Inn, with inclusive packages starting at £99 per person.
Our beautifully decorated ‘rooms at the Inn’ completes your perfect day.
