Incredible Venue

10/10, couldn't have asked for a more perfect Venue and Team of Staff.
We very last minute (3 days to go!!!) Had to change our wedding date as our baby girl was coming 1 month early! The Ravenswood team could not have been any more understanding or helpful. The date was changed and there was no extra stress or worries, they looked after everything for us.
If you are looking for a wedding venue and The Ravenswood is on your list! Go for it- you won't regret it :)

Our day couldn't have gone any better!

Throughout our entire planning process and our day, the entire team have been phenomenal, from the correspondence with Ellie, who shown us around the venue the the accommodation staff and all the first of house staff too.

Huge thanks to our coordinator Molly who ensured our day ran smoothly and set up for us beautifully. As well as a huge thank you to our evening manager Katie, who ensured the evening went off without a hitch.

Would happily do it all over again from start to finish.

Our fantastic magical wedding day.

We had a fantastic wedding from start to finish all the staff and planners are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. The whole day was seamless and totally magical. Thank you to Dawn who was our planner she made us feel so at ease and was there if we needed anything. She hunted out my bag when I needed my lipstick and kept Steve updated that everything was going ok. We really couldn’t recommend this venue enough and would love to do it all again.

Wonderful day, beautifully organised

We chose to have our wedding at The Ravenswood. In fact, it was the first and only venue we looked at. We fell in love with it right away. The grounds and building were simply stunning - bursting with character.

In the build-up to our big day, the staff and Molly, our wedding coordinator, were extremely attentive. They dived into the details when needed. Everything was done in a timely fashion and they were always on hand to answer our questions, however trivial. I can’t recall any real hitches.

Our wedding day was our vision brought to life. The ceremony ran smoothly. We were lucky to have chosen a dry Winters day which allowed us to get some beautiful couple shots around the grounds. We were blown away by the stunning backdrops, before heading back inside for a wonderful dinner service. The food was hearty and tasty. Nobody left hungry! All of our guests, both daytime and reception, commented on the charming architecture. Adding how much they enjoyed themselves. As for the hospitality, the Honeymoon suite was excellent value for money.

I’d 100% recommend the Ravenswood to any couple!

What a day!

We had the most amazing experience, nothing was too much trouble and we had the most perfect day! Our coordinator Molly took care of everything, from our pre-meet and sorting all the details, to being everywhere we needed on our actual day. We chose the venue for the way they do their pricing (all inclusive package with no hidden costs) combined with the stunning scenery and rooms. Food was amazing, and so much of it, no one went hungry! They catered well for our guests, and groom, with multiple food allergies, and they even have gluten free beer which was a winner! The only downside is that everything was over so quickly! We cannot thank the Ravenswood team enough for giving us the best day we could have hoped for!

We couldn’t have done it without The Ravenswood Team

Honestly, if you are looking for a venue that has got you covered and thought of every details, then look no further! Our wedding coordinator, Natalie, was an absolute dream and so amazingly helpful before and on our big day! The venue is just stunning, the food and drinks were perfect and I wish we could do it all over again!

Our dream wedding made into reality

From viewing The Ravenswood through to booking the venue and then our wedding EVERYTHING was a smooth and hugely enjoyable experience. Nothing was ever too much. Dawn our wedding coordinator was outstanding. She took care of all the fine details on the day and made sure we were well fed and watered. We had a problem and stress free wedding because the staff at the Ravenswood have perfected their craft. The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful and we have the BEST wedding photos.

Our 2025 Wedding!

We are less than 8 weeks to go before our wedding and everything has been so easy and pleasant with the team. There is literally nothing you can’t ask them, the team are always on hand to ensure you are happy at every stage leading up to your big day they take all the pressure off and give so much guidance! (I’m sure the actual day will be just as wonderful and organised as everything has been so far)

Perfection

I will recommend Ravenswood until my last breath!!

The location is STUNNING and I don’t just mean the beautiful outside grounds - every inch of the venue is beautiful - even the toilets are gorgeous!!

From your first visit/booking to planning to your big day to even after your big day the service, customer service and professionalism is brilliant and always spot on. You have your own wedding coordinator who helps with EVERYTHING on the lead up to your day and is like your personal assistant on your wedding day - making it go so smoothly.

You never have anything to worry about. If you’re thinking about Ravenswood then I say go for it, you won’t regret it!

Most special day of our lives!


My husband and I got married there last week (Dec 4th) and it really was the most special day of our lives! From start to finish it was smooth and enjoyable thanks to the help of all the staff at the Ravenswood, especially Natalie our wedding coordinator. If anyone was meant to do a job like that it's Natalie! She has the perfect mix of warmth with a friendly nature mixed with complete competence in arranging all the finer details!
The Ravenswood is the most beautiful wedding venue I've ever seen and all our family and friends were honestly blown away with it! The Ravenswood was perfect for our cosy, romantic Christmas wedding! The twinkling lights everywhere, the fireplaces, the old gorgeous grounds were some highlights for me.
All of our guests said how amazing the food was and we agreed! My mum, who can be hard to please was most delighted by the service and the meals that came out of hot plates.
The honeymoon suite was absolutely beautiful and amazing to have that included in the package and then to wake up and have breakfast with all our guests the following morning was the icing on the cake!
I cannot praise the Ravenswood enough and I wish we could do it all again!!!!
If you're considering this venue, I would say do not hesitate, you won't be disappointed!!!

Best venue ever!

Wow, where do I start?
We had our special day Friday and from start to finish the team at the Ravenswood were fantastic.
It's hard to put into words how grateful I am. Especially to Katie our wedding planner, she was absolutely fantastic and really helped me a every step of the way.
Nothing was to big a ask and no question was silly for me to ask. She made us feel so relaxed throughout the whole process and on the day she was phenomenal!

The accommodations team were great with assisting me in booking rooms for my guests and helping collecting payments / sending reminders.

The food was amazing! We had a food tasting event prior to our day and the food was honestly delicious.

I just cannot thank The Ravenswood team enough, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. The staff on the night were so friendly and really made the day.

We used their recommended events team Mulberry events to decorate and again the venue just looked incredible.

I could go on and on about how happy I am but I think you can tell! X

Dream wedding come true

From the moment we arrived at The Ravenswood for our viewing we have been obsessed with this venue.

We were meet by Ellie who showed us round the beautiful grounds and gorgeous building. We talked over what the day would look like from start to finish and we were sold.

At every point the team looked after us, being invited to a food tasting evening with drinks and entertainment. This was a great night showing us what it would look and feel like to be a guest at a wedding. It was then we were introduced to Katie our wedding coordinator. We can not express enough love and gratitude towards Katie, she is absolutely amazing. She made us feel at ease, and that nothing was too much. Anything and everything we were unsure of Katie had a solution for us. She gave us perfect suggestions from her wealth of experience and knowledge. She knew exactly what we wanted/needed to hear which took away any doubts we had and made us both feel reassured.

Katie recommend Fiona a harpist to play intro for our guest arrival as this was something we were unsure of. Fiona was just our cup of tea and recommended as Katie understood our style and taste. We also booked John Scofield Photography who has done many weddings at The Ravenswood, and together with Katie they made an incredible team. We can’t talk about how amazing everything was on the day enough, and this is all in credit to Katie and the team at The Ravenswood. Thank you so so much for giving us the magical wedding day we have both dreamed of, we wish we could do it all again. Forever grateful Mr & Mr Thatcher-Welham

Cozy Autumn Wedding

We had our wedding at The Ravenswood in October 2024 and it was a lovely experience. We were given our own wedding Coordinator, Katie, and she was brilliant at helping to guide us through all the preparations involved. All our guests remarked on how professional, yet friendly the staff at The Ravenswood were. On the day of the wedding all the bar staff were attentive, and very organised. The food at the wedding breakfast was really tasty and delivered to us at the perfect temperature. The grounds of The Ravenswood are stunning and clearly well managed. Unfortunately the weather was mostly rain on our wedding day, however the interiors of Ravenswood are equally as stunning. With the help of the staff, who lit the fires in the ceremony room and turned on all the twinkling fairy lights we had the perfect cozy autumnal wedding. In the evening after a lovely day we headed to our honeymoon suite, which was a peaceful retreat from the busy day, we even had some wedding cake cut up and left in our suite for us to enjoy! Would highly recommend The Ravenswood and thank them for all their hard work.

Stunning!!!!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere other than the Ravenswood, every single detail was covered and nothing was every to small of a problem for them. The venue, staff, food and decor was all absolutely stunning which helped contribute to the best day of our lives. Special shout out to Katie the wedding coordinator, it really wouldn’t have been possible without you, you are one in a million and helped bring our vision to a reality. For anyone still choosing where to get married I promise pick the Ravenswood and you will not be disappointed with them or Katie!!! Love Ben and Katie
