    The most magical venue!

    From our initial tour, to booking this amazing venue, and enjoying our special day, The Ravenswood has been truly amazing. We first met Ellie who showed us around the grounds, and then Dawn - our amazing coordinator - took everything off our hands. There was a fab variety of food for canapés, the wedding breakfast and evening buffet, and our guests loved everything. The staff are truly amazing and everyone was so warm, friendly and inviting, which created the most amazing atmosphere. We stayed at the Rosewood Cottage the night before, which was a lovely addition. We 100% recommend this stunning venue for your special day.

    Incredible Venue

    We cannot recommend the Ravenswood enough! Our wedding day at the beginning of November was simply perfect - a huge thank you to all the staff for making our day so special - our guests commented throughout the day on how polite, friendly and approachable the whole team was. Our wedding coordinator Natalie was with us every step of the way in the planning stages and helped to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day - no stress whatsoever! With just under 50 guests, this venue was the ideal size for us. We stayed at the Rosewood Cottage the night before the wedding which was a lovely addition, and the Getting Ready Room and Honeymoon Suite were both so luxurious! The canapes, wedding breakfast and late-night nibbles were all delicious and they were able to accomodate several last minute changes/additions seamlessly. Would absolutely recommend this venue, you won't be disappointed!

    The Best Day Ever!

    We got married just under a week ago and we really cannot fault anything at all! They've been the most accommodating venue and team and everyone at The Ravenswood works so hard to make each wedding special and magical. Amy was our co-ordinator and she was so amazing at dealing with a bride who was more anxious about everyone else having a great day. She listened to us as a couple and fit in any small changes straight away. I said it in my speech and I will keep on saying it - everyone needs an Amy on their wedding day.

    Venue was perfect on our special day, it was all set up to plan. The food was amazing - we had guest after guest approach us to say how amazing the food was and we couldn't have agreed more. All of the guests who stayed the night reported how lovely and spacious their rooms were and how comfy the beds were and having breakfast together the following morning was another added bonus.

    The bridesmaids and I all stayed in the Rosewood Cottage the night before and we all slept incredibly well and were able to have a relaxed night in and use the well equipped kitchen to have dinner.

    Thanks again everyone at the Ravenswood

    Simply Perfect

    WOW! We had the honour of getting married at this AMAZING venue in October this year. From the moment we visited The Ravenswood, we knew it was the venue for us. From the stunning grounds to the fantastic facilities in the cottage, this venue had it all. We particularly valued the warmth and friendliness that we received from all of the staff. Evie, our wedding coordinator, made the whole process seamless by supporting us with decisions and reassuring us in each step. Evie is one of the smiliest people we have met and brought joy to our special day. On our wedding day, our guests commented on how friendly and accommodating all the waiting and bar staff were. The guests also commented on the quality of the food and the generous portion size. The professionalism and experience of the entire team meant that our day was perfect and we wouldn't change a thing. We are very grateful and can't recommend The Ravenswood enough. Thank you all.

    Amazing venue, wonderful staff!

    A huge thank you to Natalie and the Ravenswood team for giving us the most wonderful wedding day! Everything ran so smoothly thanks to their care, organisation, and attention to detail.
    The food was amazing, the menu was perfectly tailored to us, and every member of staff was so friendly and professional. We truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect celebration - it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

    A magical place!

    We researched dozens of wedding venues but The Ravenswood was the first one we actually visited, and it proved to be a spectacularly good decision. So many of our wedding guests said how amazing the venue was and how helpful the staff were. For us, it was a near-perfect day, the only downside was that it went too quickly! Our wedding co-ordinator, Natalie, was fantastic - she knocked it out of the park! It was an unforgettable day, thanks again!

    The most perfect venue!

    The Ravenswood was the most perfect venue for our special day! Dawn, our wedding coordinator was fantastic, helped with all the finer details and sorted any on the day disasters (such as my flowers not turning up!).

    The guests thought the venue was beautiful, as did we. Everyone enjoyed the food, the lamb shank was truly incredible (even 2 of our guests who are London chefs said it was delicious). Service was incredible from start to finish and nothing seemed like too much trouble.

    Beautiful venue with beautiful views and beautiful staff!

    The best day of our lives

    As soon as we walked into the venue on our first visit at the Ravenswood we knew it was the place for our special day. The building and grounds are just naturally stunning.

    The planning and communication with the venue has been amazing since day one.

    We had Evie as our wedding coordinator who was simply amazing at what she does. Our day was perfect and she understood exactly what we wanted. We cannot thank her and the team enough for what they did. They made us feel so special in every way. Everyone has said it’s the best wedding they’ve been too. The venue looked stunning and everything was exactly how we wanted it. We will never forget this perfect day. We want to do all over again

    Fantastic day

    Dawn was our wedding coordinator was just the best, we were looked after like we were stars, all the stress was taken away, all the staff were friendly, courteous, and served everyone with a smile, Andy our toastmaster was excellent and went above and beyond his duties to make the day a memorable and stress free day. We were married here on 06th Sept 2025 and I would definitely recommend the Ravenswood.

    Thank you for the perfect day

    From the moment we first went to view The Ravenswood, we instantly knew it was where we wanted to get married and spend our special day! Everything, from the venue and grounds itself, down to the staff we met on our first visit instantly felt like it was meant to be. Since that day, over 2 years ago when we made our booking, the whole experience has been superb.

    The communication from the team at the venue was brilliant, with them keeping in touch as and when required. Naturally, the communication got more frequent as we approached the big day! Some months prior to our date, we were invited for a tasting evening to sample some of the most popular food options; everything we tried on the evening was lovely.

    Closer to the time, we were introduced to our wedding coordinator, Dawn. Dawn was an absolute star. She kept in touch with us during the lead up to make sure we had completed all the necessary steps and supplied the required information to the venue, but more importantly, Dawn was there to help us with any queries we had and to put us at ease along the way.

    Fast forward to the day itself, and Dawn and the team didn't disappoint! The whole day was smooth sailing, and we couldn't be any happier with the way it went, it was perfect. The getting ready suite for the bridal party is lovely and spacious, and the honeymoon suite is the perfect place to retire to at the end of the day.

    Our guests were all very impressed by the venue, the grounds and the staff. Everyone complimented how good the food was, for the Wedding breakfast and the evening. Those that stayed at the venue were pleased with the rooms and breakfast the following morning.

    Thank you once again to Dawn and the entire team at The Ravenswood for making our special day perfect.

    We would definitely recommend The Ravenswood!
