When it comes to anything wedding related, we’re always fascinated (of course!). And we love hearing what goes on behind the scenes into making a day truly magical. We caught up with Dorota, wedding coordinator at Farnham Hog’s Back Hotel to give us the inside story to their stunning Surrey wedding venue…
Working at Legacy Farnham Hog’s Back Hotel has to an interesting job… Especially for a Wedding Coordinator! What is your favourite part of working there?
My favourite part of working at Legacy Farnham Hog’s Back Hotel as a wedding coordinator meeting with all the excited brides and grooms to be and helping them plan their special day from start to finish. Each couple is different but they all have that same look of love in her eye!
What are the latest wedding trends you are seeing at the moment? And what is your favourite trend?
I think the latest trends at weddings at the moment are “sweet trolleys” and “fun photo booths”. My favourite trend has to be the fun photo booths as our local photographer has a London taxi that has been converted into a outdoor mobile photo booth. It is the cutest thing ever!
You are working with brides and grooms every day. Is their excitement infectious?
Of course, the is an excitement is infectious when speaking with our loved up couples! For me, every wedding that we plan is so personal and very exciting. We remember each one and we all have our own fond memories of our couple’s weddings.
What do couples love most about your venue? What makes them go “Wow”?
Couples fall in love with our high ceiling and bay window in our ballroom. Our gorgeous conservatory is very popular. However the “WOW” factor I must say has to come from the view of the rolling fields and hills from the Lower Garden. It is truly breathtaking!
Which do you prefer… Summer weddings or winter weddings?
I personally prefer summer weddings. They are usually very colourful and couples can make the most of the hotel grounds. There is a buzz in the air, the evenings are a little longer and if it’s a good day, guests can often be found stealing a few rays throughout the day. What’s not to love?
