My now husband and I had our wedding at the Ravenswood on 16 September. We cannot thank the team enough for making the day truly amazing. We had everyone complimenting the venue and how beautiful it was. Sam, Joanna, Michael, Yvette and Megan were so helpful and accommodating. Everyone felt welcomed including us. Not only were the grounds picture perfect, the food from the canapés to the evening buffet was delicious. So thank you so much to everyone at the Ravenswood for making our wedding day so perfect!!!!!!

We got married at the Ravenswood 2 weeks ago, from start to finish the day and night was truly amazing from the staff, venue, food! Yvette was so lovely and organised the whole day she was always there when we needed her and completely on the ball as we’re all the staff!

Just had our daughters wedding here and would thoroughly recommend to anyone. The staff were brilliant and so attentive and helpful and friendly. the room for the meal was incredible with fantastic views and the food was really good. The room was decorated in in an amazing way to reflect the theme of travel and our guests was so complimentary about the whole day and we were all treated so well. The getting ready room is fabulous and the whole day we were made to feel special. It was lovely to have the ceremony outside too. he rooms are really comfortable and we slept well. The building is so old and majestic and totally full of character.

By Emma, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 30 Aug 2018

Got married here in August (30th) and it was the best time of my life.. The staff are absolutely amazing and the venue is amazing too.. Everything was perfect due to the staff being super on the ball.. They done everything I could have imagined and couldn’t do more for us. If I could rate them higher on here then I most definitely would. Highly recommend to anyone that wants a perfect wedding!!!!! Thank you so so much!!

The perfect place to have a wedding
Venue Service

By Marek and Kalee, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 10 Aug 2018

My wife and I are delighted to say that the Ravenswood was the perfect place to have a wedding. Its set in the most wonderful grounds and is hosted by excellent and friendly staff. We had hoped for an outdoor wedding but alas the weather was god awful, but the venue is able to do indoor ceremony and its a lovely setting, with the fire lit to create a lovely smell. The food was excellent (white chocolate crème brulee for pudding….heaven!) and the rooms were just what you need for guests. We can’t thank the staff enough for going out of their way to take my wife’s mum to hospital in the morning after she broke her toe, what’s a wedding without some drama?! Thanks again to you all and we wish we could do it all over again!

Venue Service

By Dave, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 08 Aug 2018

We attended a family wedding here which was amazing, the staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble, we didn’t stay here but the grounds are amazing and the hotel had clearly understood the couple themes, the food was excellent and definitely reflected the high quality of the hotel. Parking we believe is easy but we travel by taxi which we pre-booked.

We fell in love with the venue
Venue Service

By Mr & Mrs Grantham, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 28 Jul 2018

We got married Saturday 28th July 2018 and from the first time we went there to see a wedding show we fell in love with the venue. And every time we went to go look around and finding even more secret areas around the grounds and sorting arrangements out Joanna was so accommodating and nothing was a problem at all even down to the constant emails me asking lots of questions. We had an amazing day and evening and it was just exactly what we dreamed off. Joanna helped make the day go so smoothly from beginning to end. There is so many photo opportunities around the whole building we didn’t have enough time for everything we wanted. Thank you so much to all the team at the Ravenswood, it was absolutely amazing and if we could do it again we would.

Stunning venue, amazing staff
Venue Service

By Elizabeth, on 08 Aug 2018Date of Wedding - 20 Jul 2018

Stunning venue, amazing staff, special thanks to Jo, and Sam Wedding coordinators, we could not have done it without you. So many accommodations were made for us and our wedding, changes last minute due to weather (hottest day of the year so far). The venue has lovely rooms, the Beatrice suite was just amazing, and the evening DJ rocked the dance floor. An incredible day for our wedding, thank you to everyone who made it possible! Xx

The Ravenswood team couldnt have been more helpfu
Venue Service

By Paul, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 19 Jul 2018

My husband, David and I married at this stunning venue on 19th July 2018. Right from the moment we first had a tour, back in January, we knew this was where our special day was going to be. From day 1, Joanna and the rest of The Ravenswood team couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble. The planning of our big day was made so much easier with Joanna’s help. Our big day couldn’t have gone any better. Everything was so well organised by Joanna, which took away any pressure or stress. The weather was lovely and the day was very emotional and beautiful and one that we will never forget. Special thanks to Claire Pickering for being such a great host/waitress during the meal and having some photos with the kids. We couldn’t have had such a great day without the help of The Ravenswood team. Xx

The wedding day itself was wonderful
Venue Service

By Sarah and Chris, on 08 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 14 Jul 2018

My husband and I got married here recently July 14th 2018 on a beautiful English summer day! The planning, lead up to the wedding were superb with help from the whole team at the Ravenswood. They were even so kind to take time to understand how we wanted personal additions and decorations at the Ravenswood- to help the Ushers assemble it all on the day! The wedding day itself was wonderful and ran smoothly thanks to their help and personal gestures to ensure bride and groom were happy! The grounds were looking stunning and such an improvement already since their ownership for only around a year. I can only imagine how the venue will continue to grow and become even more beautiful and exciting with numerous new ideas and additions such as the getting ready room, refurbishment to the bridal suite etc! We really had a wonderful day and would highly recommend it as a wedding venue for those looking.
