The Ravenswood - our PERFECT day!

The Ravenswood is such a beautiful venue and just has such a lovely atmosphere, from the very first time we visited we absolutely fell in love with the place and knew we 100% HAD to have our wedding there! The waiting list is long but definitely worth the wait, everyone there has been BRILLIANT from start to finish, our wedding was perfect and every guest was wowed by the experience there. The next day we didn’t want to leave! Love love love The Ravenswood xx

The wedding of our dreams

I honestly can’t thank The Ravenswood enough. They helped make our day the most special day it could be, they take control over the day so that you can have the best day of your lives. The venue is absolutely stunning and all of our guests said that it’s the most beautiful venue they have been too. We will never ever forget what our wedding coordinator Georgia did for us, she was so calm and collected and as a control freak myself, she was excellent with dealing with everyone in such an efficient and friendly way. We are so lucky that we had our wedding there and hope to god that one of our friends get married there so that we can experience The Ravenswood again. Thank you endlessly

Just perfection!

Everything went so perfectly, and Natalie went above and beyond to make us feel like we were the only couple in the world getting married.

We stayed in the cottage the night before and ordered from the takeaway menu. The food was delicious, and sitting out in the courtyard on a sunny evening with our family are memories we'll treasure forever. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the shower was amazing, and there was both an iron and a steamer, which made it so easy to put the finishing touches on the dresses and the boys' shirts.

We had an early start on the wedding morning, but because we used suppliers who regularly work with The Ravenswood, we were able to access the getting-ready room early. It was just a short walk from the cottage, making everything so easy. The boys also had a late checkout from the cottage, where they got ready before walking over just before the ceremony.

All of the decorations and personal touches we had brought were simply left on a table in the hall for Natalie to set up. It completely took the pressure off my bridal party and allowed us to fully enjoy our morning together. It was also so special being able to see the wedding breakfast room all set up first thing—it really hits you that it's finally happening!

A full English breakfast was brought up to us, which was lovely. Although, because of the nerves, not much of it got eaten—exactly the same happened with the boys' breakfast in the cottage!

The whole morning ran impeccably. Natalie worked so seamlessly with all of our suppliers to make sure everything was absolutely perfect.

Just before I walked down the aisle, Natalie checked in on me, and the timing of the aisle walk was spot on. After the ceremony, our confetti walk was brilliantly organised by our photographer, celebrant and Natalie. We then slipped away for ten minutes to enjoy our first Long Island Iced Tea as a married couple. This is something The Ravenswood encourages, and I honestly think it's one of the best ideas. It gave us a chance to take everything in before returning to celebrate with everyone else.

Having our photographs taken around the grounds was such an amazing experience, and I can't wait to receive them. The Ravenswood is one of the most picturesque wedding venues. We also had Mulberry dress the venue and try out their new content creation service, so we're really excited to see those memories too.

The canapés and cocktails were fantastic, and every single one of our guests commented on how delicious the wedding breakfast was.

We also chose to have a toastmaster, which was a brilliant addition. His booming voice certainly kept everyone organised! That said, if we hadn't had him, I know Natalie would have done an equally fantastic job.

Throughout the drinks reception, wedding breakfast and room turnaround, our Spotify playlist played exactly as we had planned, helping to create the relaxed atmosphere we wanted for the whole day.

When Natalie finished for the day, Molly took over for the evening. She was just as lovely, and it was nice to have already met her the evening before while we were staying in the cottage.

The in-house DJ was absolutely incredible. I genuinely couldn't recommend him highly enough. We were on the dance floor all night, and so were so many of our guests!

One thing we had noticed at previous weddings was long queues at the bar, so we requested an extra member of staff behind the bar. It made such a difference, and several of our guests even commented afterwards on how quickly they were served. It really elevated the experience.

Our wedding day truly couldn't have been any more perfect. Every single member of staff played a part in making it everything we had dreamed of and more. Thank you, Natalie, Molly and the entire Ravenswood team for giving us the most incredible day. We honestly couldn't fault a single thing, and we'll treasure these memories forever.

Most amazing day

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than Ravenswood for our wedding. From our very first visit right through to our wedding day, everything exceeded our expectations.

A very special thank you to Georgia, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process. She was always so helpful, reassuring, and organised, making everything feel effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her support meant we could truly relax and enjoy every step of the journey.

On the day itself, the entire Ravenswood team were exceptional. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our day even more special.

The venue itself is simply stunning and provided the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about both the venue and the incredible team.

Thank you, Georgia, and everyone at Ravenswood, for making our dream wedding a reality. We will treasure the memories forever and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ravenswood to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue.

Amazing wedding day!

As soon as we saw the Ravenswood we knew it was the venue for us. The grounds are stunning and Evie our wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much and somehow even though not obvious whenever I had a question Evie was there. It runs so smoothly and effortless that is of course because of all the hard work put in. Our day was perfect and I wish I could do it all over again.

Fairytale wedding at The Ravenswood

Where do we even begin? 🤍✨ From the moment we first viewed The Ravenswood over two years ago, we completely fell in love with it, and with every viewing afterwards, we loved it even more. It's such a stunning venue with countless beautiful spots for photos, and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how gorgeous the location was. We got so lucky with the sun too ☀️

Every member of staff went above and beyond to make our day feel so special. A huge thank you to Natalie, our wedding coordinator, who made everything run so seamlessly. She was calm, organised, incredibly supportive and truly made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We were so grateful to have her by our side throughout the day along with Adam for our evening. They really ensure that the whole day is under control and all you have to do is soak up the magical day✨

In the lead-up to the wedding, we loved attending the group menu tasting and meeting other couples who were also counting down to their big day. It made the whole experience even more exciting. We also chose to have an individual tasting as we wanted a more personalised menu, and it was wonderful to sample our chosen dishes as well as the delicious cocktails. The only suggestion we would make is to offer a little more variety at the group tasting, as the menu options were quite limited.

The entire team genuinely celebrates the day with you. Their enthusiasm, kindness and attention to detail made us feel so cared for, and it really felt like they wanted our wedding to be just as perfect as we did.

Our only small minor point was around the drinks bar tab. We felt the way it worked wasn't communicated particularly clearly, so some of our guests paid for drinks unnecessarily while we unfortunately didn't manage to use the remainder of our tab so it was lost. Better communication around this would make an already amazing experience even better.

Aside from that, our wedding day was everything we had ever dreamed of. We only wish we could relive it over and over again. Thank you to everyone at The Ravenswood for making our fairytale come true. We will treasure those memories forever. ❤️

No better venue

The venue is absolutely stunning and caters for everyone. All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and all the little details they put in place to make your day feel so special.

A special thank you to Evie, our wedding coordinator! We honestly couldn’t thank her enough, she truly made everything about the day that much more magical, nothing was ever too much and went above and beyond for us.

From start to finish, the whole process was so easy and whoever you spoke to was so friendly and they all genuinely took an interest in your plans and ideas.

If we could, we would do it all again and we would 100% recommend The Ravenswood to anyone and everyone!

Best day ever!!!

I’m not sure I can quite put into words just how amazing The Ravenswood were for our wedding! Not just the day, but the planning leading up to it. We were so blessed to have Georgia as our coordinator & I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She was INCREDIBLE. When it came to the day, I had full faith in her so I was able to just enjoy myself & soak it all up. One thing we were slightly worried about was the food, some venues have excellent tastings but they let you down on the day - not here!! Insanely good & we still have people raving about it now. We’ve spoken to a lot of our guests since & they have complimented everything, including the pillows!! If you plan to have your wedding here you’re super lucky & won’t be disappointed 🥰

Best Day Ever

We got married on 26.5.26 and the whole day was amazing!
From waking up in the cottage to leaving after the wedding.
Evie & Georgia were amazing setting up, decorating the hall also getting us drinks, and asking if we needed anything else.
Then max in the evening was amazing too.
The whole day, venue is fabulous.

Ps we need more fans! Also doesn't help we had the hottest day on record.

Thank you again! You were superstars 💗

The Most Magical Venue

We had our wedding at the Ravenswood on 25 May 2026, and I can honestly say that it was the most magical day. From booking the venue in 2023, the staff at the Ravenswood have been so helpful and accommodating - nothing was ever too much trouble (including finding extra fans on the hottest May Day on record, which we really appreciate!) and they found a way to make everything work how we wanted to. Everything we needed was included in our package, with the option to choose extras. We really liked that the honeymoon suite and the DJ were included in the package - not many other places offered this. The booking process was easy, and again the team were so accommodating throughout.

Steve the DJ, in particular, was brilliant and had everyone on their feet all night!

We do have to thank,k in particular, Georgia Heath, our wedding coordinator, who was a complete standout. Not only was she absolutely lovely, but she was also fantastic at organising everything. She let me help when I wanted to, then took over to handle and finish everything as needed. The day ran so smoothly and perfectly, and I put this down to her!

The venue speaks for itself; it is so beautiful, and all our guests loved walking through the grounds. The food was amazing, and the team were excellent when in accommodatingary requirements. Again, nothing was too much trouble.

We are so glad that we booked the Ravenswood, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is currently looking to book their wedding.

The perfect wedding venue

The Ravenswood was the PERFECT venue. People have not stopped telling us how dreamy the venue was and we couldn’t agree more. We booked our wedding within an hour of being there and knew we didn’t need to view any others (this was our first ever viewing and it was everything we wanted)

Can’t thank Evie enough, the Ravenswood is SO LUCKY to have her, she’s amazing. No ask was too big and she made everything so smooth and seamless. Not just on the day but the weeks leading up to it too. She really calmed the storm and we couldn’t have done it without her. The day felt a lot more enjoyable with Evie having everything in hand. You really made our day memorable and allowed us to be in the moment.

The staff really look after you and your guests and make you feel like royalty. I can’t fault anything, at all ❤️

Excellent Service, and the wedding we always dreamed of.

We got married on April 1st 2026 at the Ravenswood and we had the most amazing day and our incredible coordinator Natalie was an absolute star. From the moment we chose Ravenswood their attention to detail and care for our event went above and beyond. Natalie worked with us to make our absolute dream come true. In the run up to the event, the finer details of our day were taken care of and during the event I could not fault any aspect at all. Natalie embedded clear opportunities to ensure that my husband and I had space, time to breath, eat and enjoy the amazing experience. We had the cottage the night before, which was great start to our event, where we had the entire grooms-party spend the evening with us to go through our day. The next day we got married outside and held the wedding breakfast in the Beatrice suite. We had over 100 day guests and a further 20-30 evening guests and all of them had an amazing time. The staff and team for our event were incredibly attentive, polite and enjoyed our day alongside us. The food was incredible, all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and praised the incredible organisation across the day. We honestly cannot fault any element of the day and the entire team seem completely dedicated to ensuring your day runs exactly how you want it!

Our wedding day

We had our wedding here on the 5th of May, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. From start to finish, everything was so beautifully organised and truly magical.

A huge thank you to Evie, our coordinator, who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and made everything feel so stress-free. We’d also like to thank Molly, for making the evening run so smoothly — everything was seamless, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment.

We’re so grateful to the entire venue team for all of their hard work, care, and attention to detail in making our day feel so special. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and created the most magical atmosphere for our wedding.

We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly special place to celebrate their big day. Thank you again for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

The perfect venue for the perfect day.

This was the perfect venue for us to share the best day of our lives together. We got married on Sunday and the weather held out brilliantly for us and graced us with perfect lighting for the grounds and surroundings to get married at the little castle. I had arranged for the rings to be flown in by owl so the castle was the ideal setting. There was lots of flowers blooming around the lake for photo opportunities. The venue and our wedding co-ordinator Georgia were amazing throughout the whole day. We were extremely pleased with how smoothly they made it. The lamb for mains was perfect with a very generous portion and the cheesecake was deliciously smooth and creamy. I highly recommend the venue and hope you all in love with it like we did on our first viewing.

Outstanding!

Beautiful venue, we had Evie as our coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. Ensuring the day run smoothly. We had a million questions from the start and we were always answered quickly with in depth responses. Evie brought good vibes in the morning, happy to help in anyway that she could. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Literally could not fault it.
We had an issue as the lift was out of order but they were quick to resolve this by offering an alternative and other solutions. I would do our day all over again! Thank you so much 🤍
