    Ravenwood ruined our wedding

    We got married at Ravenwood Hall Hotel September 2025 and unfortunately our experience was nothing short of deeply distressing.

    Despite booking and fully paying for the Earth Wedding Package, which clearly included a complimentary Bridal Suite, no room was reserved for us at all. This was due to what can only be described as serious administrative failures and poor internal communication between management.

    After our guests had left, we were not approached by staff regarding our Bridal Suite or offered any assistance. We had to collect our own bags in the rain, only to return and find the hotel locked. One of the bar staff clearing up let us in and found the master key to the Bridal Suite as the original key had disappeared. We walked in and switched the lights on to discover the Bridal Suite was occupied by someone else already asleep. Staff then realised no room had been allocated to us and eventually offered a last-minute room only because another guest hadn't arrived. What should have a special end to our wedding day instead saw the bride sobbing on the stairs and staff unsure if they could even find a room for us. Management was nowhere to be seen. We spent our wedding night exhausted, distressed and wide awake, worried the rightful guest would turn up.

    Additional issues occurred throughout the day, including vegetables being "forgotten" with our main course and part of our wedding cake being cut against our clear instructions. These may seem small individually, but they reflect a consistent pattern of disorganisation and lack of care.

    We were promised a refund of our bar tab as a goodwill gesture and assured the matter would be investigated seriously after our honeymoon, but we feel no meaningful attempt was made by the hotel manager to resolve the situation. We were eventually offered £150 in compensation which was frankly insulting for the breach of a £6,000 contract and the distress caused. In the end, we accepted the £150 as we wanted nothing further to do with Ravenwood or Cameron Ventures Group.

    This was supposed to be one of the most important days of our lives and instead it was overshadowed by distress and memories that keep us awake at night even now. Even our wedding photos are hard to look at as most feature Ravenwood in the background. We would strongly advise others to think carefully before booking their wedding at this venue and for those who already have, to question everything.

    Lovely venue

    The venue was stunning, the room we stayed is was also beautiful. They were very polite, professional. Only disappointment I had was the food but overall was a lovely place.

    Amazing Day!

    My Husband and I could not fault a thing! We had the most amazing day. We were lucky enough to get married at the Summer House outside on a beautiful August day in 2014. The staff were attentive and looked after not just us but all our guest, the food was superb and our family and friends commented on what a absolutely stunning day it was, every detail looked after!
    Thank you to Becky and her team x

    We even had snow!

    From arriving along the long drive lit by flares our wedding day was fantastic.we were greeted at the door by Yvonne and our guests had mulled wine to warm them as it was snowing..I had always wanted a winter wedding and was so lucky.The pavilion had a christmas tree inside and the terrace was all lit to nmake a warm welcome.We had a suprise when we arrived a net of balloons filed with feathers was set off as we entered and the day just got better and better.Food,staff and our room were all great ,i have only just seen this site as my sister is getting married also at Ravenwood so we wanted to tell everyone about the best place in the world for their wedding.

    a wonderful romantic setting with amazing staff

    everything from the moment we rang Ravenwood was brilliant ,being so close to the main A14 made it easy for our families to get to it.We booked all 14 rooms and had the day we had always dreamt of, it was so wonderful we had a BBQ the next day to extend the celebrations .Thank you to all concerned we would recommend it to anyone.
