'Wow' Factor
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team at The Mandolay Hotel for making our wedding day so special. We had an amazing day and all of our guests commented on how lovely both the venue and staff were.
Thank you in particular to Charlotte the Senior Events Coordinator for helping to put together such a fabulous wedding reception at short notice. You did a wonderful job, the room looked gorgeous & certainly gave our guests the ‘wow’ factor.
Also, we would like to say a special thank you to the excellent Banqueting Manager for ensuring our day went so smoothly. His attention to detail & friendly manner helped to created a lovely atmosphere. He really was fantastic & we are beyond grateful for his kindness & professionalism.
The entire room was laid out beautifully, the food tasted amazing & the service provided was exceptional. All of the staff were polite & attentive, so please pass on our thanks to all of the team. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone thinking about celebrating their wedding in the heart of Guildford.
We look forward to visiting The Mandolay Hotel again.

Everything was just perfect!
Where do I even begin.....from the minute we booked the Mandolay as our wedding venue I knew we had made the right decision! The hotel is lovely the staff are amazing and the wedding was fantastic! I worked with Tami for about a year to plan the wedding and she completely saw my vision for the wedding and helped me every step of the way which I will be forever greatful for. I felt at great ease the whole day and had every faith that Tami and her team had everything under control. Everything was just perfect from the rooms at the hotel to the food and drinks. Leading up to the wedding as you can imagine I got very anxious and nervous about little details but Tami was very quick to put my mind at ease and assure me she had everything under control ( which she did) we used the DJ provided by the hotel as part of the package and he was amazing so lovely and the guests loved him! if your thinking of having your wedding at the Mandolay then go for it you won’t be disappointed and you will have the best day and if you’ve already booked your wedding at the Mandolay then I’m so jealous because I want to do it all over again!!! Thanks so much again to the Mandolay and especially to Tami for the most amazing wedding! Love the new Mr & Mrs James x

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Our garden (shocking I know) a high street venue with green space. This makes it the perfect backdrop of photo's because it's unexpected at our venue. Runner up location is our stunning chandelier before you enter the Mandolay Suite.

What’s your favourite canapé?
Out Filet Meatballs has to be my favorite canape - delicious!

Bacon Baps....I wish more of my weddings did this! A toasted Bacon BAP as all of your guests head to bed is the perfect midnight treat!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The size of our Mandolay Suite.....you just don't expect it when you come to the hotel. But to have a function suite of this size with ceiling height is a WOW factor for sure!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our service....my team care about a wedding just as much as I do. It shows on the night that we are all in it together in order to ensure the night is perfect!
