    Daniel and Emily

    We got married at Rufford Mill in July 2025 on the most beautiful, sunny day. The venue was stunning, decorated beautifully and the team were so helpful and brilliant in the planning and execution of the day! We would highly recommend Rufford Mill to any couples looking for a perfect wedding venue!

    Amazing venue, beautiful surroundings

    A perfect venue for your wedding. We had a perfect time. Well organised, professional. All our needs met. Couldn’t recommend enough. Scenery is just stunning, a true gem of a venue.
    Thank you to the team for all their hard work

    What An Amazing Day !!!

    We got married at Rufford on 14th June 2025 .
    Everything was just perfect from start to finish .
    Carmel and Seana were just amazing , so flexible and had the day covered with every little fine detail that made our day so very special ! I didn’t have to think about anything !
    The guests commented on how fabulous the venue looked . It was just perfect .
    The venue , the food and staff were 5 star . The food was delicious . Carmel made sure all the guests were catered for and didn’t leave until the evening when the guests were partying .
    We were able to get into the venue early to get it dressed which was brilliant . Carmel was on hand to check that everything was running smooth .
    Carmel liaised with our photographer so that they were in sync with the agenda for the day , which was great .
    Our photographs at the Abbey and inside the venue were so beautiful with so many special memories of the day .
    The venue and the package I’d say were so important for me . You want it to look spectacular with a 5 star service - we got that and more !
    A really big thank you to Carmel and Seana who took care of everything from start to finish . This was detrimental to our wedding day being amazing . It all went to plan because of their high standard , professionalism and attention to detail which is so hard to find now a days .
    Thanks ladies x I’ll have these special memories forever xx

    Perfect venue for our perfect day

    Our wedding day was simply perfect. The weather was great over the lovely scenery of the lake and historic buildings. We worked to a budget which the venue fulfilled. Every member of staff who worked on the day were great and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We even had our dogs attended which was one of the reasons for picking this venue.

    Could not do more for us!

    From the moment we enquired, we knew this would be our venue!
    We took the package and added the bridal suite on for the day too which is an amazing addition to the day! The bridal suite has two good sized rooms (lounge style where our flower girls got ready and we had food, and then a room with a large mirror and two mirrors for getting ready, makeup mirrors) there is also a shower room which is hugely beneficial!
    The coordinator Seana was the greatest part of the package because she supported all our planning, helped with my allergies and was with us every step of the way! She was particularly supportive with me as we got married at 28 weeks pregnant!
    The food was gorgeous! And the evening buffet has plenty for all your guests!
    If you want a package wedding with great scenery, amazing staff and beautiful food then Rufford is for you!

    The most beautiful day 🩷

    We had the most beautiful wedding day at Rufford Mill on the 16.08.25
    Communication from the very start of booking is fab, all emails/questions answered within 24 hours!
    Carmel ran our wedding day and it couldn’t have gone any smoother, she had everything running on time and checked up on us at every available moment. The venue itself is stunning, and the team are amazing also.
    We can’t thank Rufford enough for making our day extra special and would 100% recommend to anyone needing to book somewhere for their special day 🩷

    The most incredible day! Wish we could do it all again!

    Rufford Mill was the perfect venue for our wedding. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the team made the whole experience seamless from start to finish. Everything ran so smoothly on the day—we didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which meant we could just relax and enjoy every moment.
    Our guests were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and how well everything was organised. It was exactly the backdrop we had dreamed of for our big day.
    We’ll always treasure our memories here and can’t thank the Rufford Mill team enough for giving us the most incredible day.

    We had the greatest day!

    We were really impressed by how smoothly the day went, and the attention to detail was excellent. Everything was handled so professionally. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
