I honestly cannot praise them enough!


From booking through to our wedding they have been great, any queries or emails answered and Evie our coordinator was brilliant.

We had to travel down from Lincoln for the wedding so the run up meetings and emails they were happy to help with.

The day went flawlessly including last minute changes due to the weather and allowing additional surprises the family organised we didn’t know about! 😂

While we did have to do a few reminders of certain things on the day -ie our playlist for the wedding dinner- these were minor things and it was no issue once raised and immediately sorted.

But on the flip side of this a few things we forgot - like a box for the glow sticks - they quickly sorted out one from the venue!

They were so considerate and every detail is planned, down to making sure we even had some cake and buffet in the honeymoon room in case we missed getting some!

They have been lovely to work with and the venue itself was amazing.

Just Choose The Ravenswood!!!

I can’t put into words how incredible it was having our Wedding at The Ravenswood.

The venue is stunning and literally has everything you would want as part of your wedding.

Then to add to that their team are professionals and you can tell they do this all the time because there was 0 stress from the wedding venue since we confirmed them as our venue choice

Any idea we had they supported and made happen and any questions we had they had answers for.

On the actual day, we thought we’d have more involvement in the setup but their team took care of everything and allowed us to enjoy our special day.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue!!

The Perfect Day DOES Exist!

Not only is The Ravenswood a beautiful venue, but the details and organisation of the day were also spectacular. We have received no end of the highest praise for the food, the grounds, the staff and of course how the day flowed so perfectly! Natalie, our coordinator, was nothing but perfection - she ran our day amazingly and put our vision to life without a hitch! The staff were all so wonderful and polite and ran everything so efficiently. Thank you so much for literally giving us the perfect day and memories that will last a lifetime ❤️

Natalie our coordinator made it magical, perfect venue, perfect staff.

We recently had our wedding at The Ravenswood, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we knew it was the perfect place—but what truly made our experience unforgettable was Natalie, our incredible wedding coordinator.

Natalie is an absolute gem. Her warmth, professionalism, positivity, and attention to detail put us at ease right from the start. She took the time to really understand our vision and brought it to life with such care and precision that we were blown away. Nothing was ever too much trouble—she was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them.

On the day itself, Natalie was calm, composed, and completely in control. She ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without a single worry. So many of our guests commented on how flawlessly everything was organised, and we know it was all thanks to her.

The Ravenswood is a stunning venue—full of charm, history, and beautiful scenery—but it’s Natalie who truly elevates the experience. She made our dream day come true, and we’ll be forever grateful.

If you’re considering The Ravenswood for your wedding, we couldn’t recommend it more—and if you have the pleasure of working with Natalie, know that you’re in the very best hands.

The perfect venue for the perfect day!

We knew from the moment we visited The Ravenswood that is was the venue for us.

We loved the grounds, the different ceremonial options/locations, the package offered, the accommodation for guests, and most importantly, the staff!

Everything was made hassle free by the weddings team, whether that was a phone call, an email or a question on the day. Despite knowing this venue hosts a lot of weddings, they make sure your wedding personal to you.

On our wedding day, we were blessed with sunshine, which meant we could get married outside which was our ideal setting with the castle backdrop.

It was lovely to have our guests enjoy the grounds and see them sitting outside mingling on the patio area. We also had our dogs alongside us to celebrate our day, and the staff were very accommodating with them.

Everything flowed well and our guests have said that they had a lovely day celebrating with us.

A special mention has to go to Dawn, who was our wedding coordinator. She made us feel at ease from the first meeting we had and looked after us so well on the day, nothing was too much trouble. There was a smooth transition in the evening where we were handed over to Vlada, who was very attentive.

Overall, we'd highly recommend the team at the Ravenswood and we cannot thank them enough for making our dream day a reality.

Such a beautiful venue with stunning views and friendly, helpful staff

My husband and I got married at The Ravenswood nearly a month ago and we are still so in awe of how perfect the day was. It was everything we hoped for and more! The grounds are so stunning and son picturesque.
Our wedding co-ordinator was Natalie and what a star she was! Very accommodating. For our final details meeting before the big day, I explained that we were not able to do a week day due to work commitments, and Natalie was happy to accommodate us. Everything we asked for, and everything that we wanted was noted down and delivered perfectly. For example, we made chocolate frogs as our wedding favours and Natalie made sure they were put in the fridge and put out at the right time for our guests. On the day Natalie was there bright and early, checked in regularly and kept me updated in the getting ready room. Natalie is clearly very professional and is very good at her job. The Toastmaster and Photographers both talked about how they had worked with Natalie in the past and raved about how good she is, which we agreed with 100%.
The food was amazing. Our guests loved the food and we loved it too. Natalie and the other staff at The Ravenswood made sure that myself and my husband were fed and watered during those busy times when duty calls. The canapes were amazing and every part of the wedding breakfast was incredible. Thank you kitchen staff!
So much delicious food, of course we had to order the chocolate coated strawberries to our room - they had laid out a platter in our room for us with the chocolate covered strawberries and some of our wedding cake. It looked divine! Unfortunately, we didn't get up to our room till the music stopped so some of the strawberries were a bit squishy and we weren't particularly hungry. I would recommend asking the staff to let you know when the strawberries are in the room so you can 1. have some time to yourselves, and 2. enjoy them while they are fresh!
All of the staff were so incredibly friendly, approachable, helpful and passionate. The staff in the morning were helpful with letting us know where all our belongings were kept and remembering to collect the rest of the cake to take home. I am so thankful they were so calm and collected because I was so very tired and so very emotional the next day!
One small thing that happened the morning of the wedding was the honeymoon suite not being ready for the grooms party. We were told the honeymoon suite would be ready at 12pm, however the room wasn't ready until 12:30-12:45pm. This may have been due to the previous wedding party from the night before being late to check out, however, it did add some stress to the morning (for my husband - I wasn't aware until the day after). We still managed to get pictures of groom prep in the honeymoon suite which worked out in the end.

Overall, we cannot be more thankful to The Ravenswood for hosting our wedding. It was a glorious day and one we will remember for years to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Couldn’t fault the venue and team

We are so pleased we chose The Ravenswood for our wedding day. From day 1 the team were fantastic at answering our questions and getting back to us, and most emails were answered the same day as sending - fantastic for those pre-wedding nerves and to help avoid stress! On the day, the team couldn’t do enough for us and our guests, and many guests commented on how friendly, helpful and ‘on it’ the staff were. It was a smooth running machine which meant we could just enjoy our day and know everything and everyone was taken care of! Food was great, portion size amazing and dietary guests catered for beautifully. We were blessed with the weather and the grounds looked amazing. Evie our wedding coordinator was friendly and helpful and seems just as excited for us on our big day which was lovely. We would recommend the venue to anyone!

Spring Wedding 🌸🌺

We came across Ravenswood when initially looking for a venue to get married. Straight away Ravenswood were quick to respond and book us in for a look around. It was the first venue we visited and we instantly knew we wanted to get married there, we loved the little castle and outdoor space and also the exterior and interior decor. From there onwards members of the team would check in regularly and send useful information over. Before the big day we met with Dawn, she was so reassuring and made us feel at ease the whole time. On the wedding day she was there whenever we needed anything and was always willing to help. We highly recommend Ravenswood as your venue!

My Daughters wedding

I am happy to post this review as a form of thanks to all of the staff at Ravenswood, especially Katie Comber, our allocated wedding organiser.
All of the staff were so attentive and professional but as for Katie, she went over and beyond what i would have expected.
I must admit, as Father of the Bride, I did push the envelope with regards to requirements and needs but nothing was too much trouble for Katie and the team.
The venue is amazing and when coupled with a team of people determined to make "The Special Day" the best it can be, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing venue

Myself and my new husband got married this week at the ravenswood. I have spent the last few weeks worrying that something would go wrong, but thank you to the lovely Molly and the rest of the team, the day couldn’t have been more perfect! From the minute we first spoke to Molly, she has been nothing but calm, helpful and just an absolutely delight. Nothing has been too much and the day wouldn’t have been the same without her. The venue is beautiful, the food was lovely, rooms were gorgeous including the getting ready room. There isn’t a bad thing I could say about our experience with the ravenswood. So happy that we chose this as our venue.

Magical: a dream come true

The Ravenswood will always be a special place for my wife and I, as it was home to the most memorable, spectacular and magical day of our lives.

Our wedding was unapologetically us, and Natalie and the team went way above and beyond to understand the brief and bring our vision to life.

They helped bring our Disney-style fairytale theme to life, not just by accessorising staff outfits with Mickey Mouse ears; but by things like accepting a delivery of and storing dry ice so we could have our genie/master of ceremonies appear in a cloud of smoke. This also involved getting in a special table and covering it in table cloths to hide him. There were a whole series of unusual last minute challenges that the team took in their stride.

Ours was the Ravenswood’s first 100% vegan wedding and they went above and beyond: not only did they put on entirely vegan lunch, dinner and breakfast, they went as far as researching and removing any non vegan options from the bar and ensuring that only plant based milks were available with coffee. As an ardent vegan it meant a lot to me that they the made sure there wasn’t an animal product in sight. Whether or not this is your thing, it should be evidence of the level they will go to to understand your individual needs and cater to them.

The only downside is that it’s not possible to have a rehearsal the day before and that the check out can be a little rushed. This is an understandable and inevitable result of a venue that is able to do a wedding every 24 hours, and the advantage is reflected in the very reasonable price point.

I did worry that with a wedding the day before and one the day after it might feel like a bit of a wedding factory / conveyer belt. However the day nevertheless felt deeply personal and special and the experience felt acutely tailored to us. The whole impressive operation does run like clockwork and we couldn’t have felt in more experienced, organised and capable hands.

Natalie, our coordinator, was a force of nature. Impeccably organised without ever showing stress. Always smiling and friendly whilst being professional to a point. Solutions orientated, creative, and really embraced all of our peculiarities as a challenge.

The grounds are beautiful and were perfect for the sort of magical/whimsical storytelling photos that brought our fairytale vision to life. We put our deposit down within minutes of our first visit and didn’t bother with even visiting the rest of our shortlist.

Our guests were thoroughly impressed and the whole day was a dream come true.

Couldn't have asked for more!

From the very beginning to the actual day, we felt we were in good hands. Always prompt in responses and our needs were met throughout. The actual day itself couldn't have gone any better, all the guests were forthcoming in praising the smoothness of the day and the quality of everything- food, staff, venue etc. Dawn, our co-ordinator, was integral in making our day enjoyable and more than we could've imagined it would be. We genuinely had the best day, so thank you to everyone at the Ravenswood!

Nothing short of.. Exceptional

What can I say…. From the point of finding and viewing this amazing venue right up until the final moments of our wedding day everything about the booking, planning and the day itself was just perfection. Words can’t describe just how grateful we are for every single staff member going above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Every single one of our guests commented on how exceptional all staff members were, how amazing the catering was and how truly beautiful the venue was. We simply could not have asked for anymore it truly was everything and more than we could have ever wished and hoped for.
Natalie our wedding coordinator, you were literally my right hand lady throughout the lead up but especially on the day itself. You took absolutely everything in your stride (even when you were having to tie 10’s of 10’s of bows around glasses) and nothing that we wanted ever seemed too much to ask for. From having lint rollers on hand (thank you for getting the fluff off Harvey’s jacket haha) to always ensuring we had a drink in hand there really was nothing else you could have done to make it more perfect. You were absolutely incredible and you constantly had a smile on your face.

D&T wedding 02.03

We had the most amazing wedding at the Ravenswood and cannot thank the team enough. Everything went so smoothly and we had so many compliments about the day - everyone loved the venue and the food.
Having the overnight accommodation available was really important for us as we had family and friends that were travelling to be with us, this was so easy to organise thanks to the accommodation team and it was lovely to be able to have breakfast with our guests the morning after.
We had the lovely Dawn as our coordinator and I don’t think we would have got everything organised without her! She was so helpful and attentive the whole way through and made sure we had the best day. I really didn’t appreciate how involved the wedding coordinator would be especially on the day but Dawn really looked after us and made sure everything was perfect.
In the evening Kate took over the running of the night, keeping everything running smoothly, she even helped look after my 91 year old gran by escorting her to her room and making her a cup of tea when she needed a break which we really appreciate (thank you Kate!).
Also the menu tasting evening was a great experience and helped us appreciate how beautiful the venue is. We would recommend the Ravenswood as a wedding venue and the whole experience was incredible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
