The most amazing day

We had the most incredible wedding day at the Ravenswood on 28/09/2023. As soon as we were engaged I knew I wanted to get married at the Ravenswood, in fact we didn't even bother looking anywhere else! The venue itself is stunning, the grounds are beautiful, the staff are all incredible and the food is delicious. I felt as well it was really good value for money. Molly was our wedding coordinator and was absolutely fantastic and so efficient; emails were always answered promptly by Molly or another member of the team, nothing was too much trouble for the team and everyone that works there is polite, friendly and hard working. I didn't feel stressed with wedding planning at any stage and it was such an enjoyable process at the Ravenswood! The day itself went off without a hitch, we felt really well looked after and like we could just relax and enjoy our day. The only thing I'm sad about is I wish we could do it all again! We had the best day and we know from our guests that they really enjoyed themselves too which is so lovely to hear. A massive thank you to Molly and all of the incredible staff at the Ravenswood, you really did make our day so special. With love, Mr & Mrs Brown xxx

Dream wedding!

Everything about our wedding from the planning to the day itself was so perfectly planned and executed with every help from the staff at the Ravenswood and our amazing wedding coordinator Molly. We could not have asked for a better experience with The Ravenswood.
The weather so so beautiful and sunny and just added to the natural beauty around the venue.
The food was AMAZING! And for any bride or groom who worries they may forget or not have time to eat or drink, trust me, Molly kept us well supplied with both! Especially on such a hot day like it was on our wedding day!
We can not thank The Ravenswood enough for make our day so special!

Fantastic 10 out of 10

Leaving a review for the most perfect day is always hard, but it was the perfect day! Gemma our coordinator was 10 out of 10. The one person you could go to for anything and no question was silly to her. The food, venue, decorations were perfect. I couldn't have imagined a better day.
I could go on and on. It was amazing!

Dream venue

Most wonderful venue, they will do anything to help. Everyone is on hand to reply to emails within 24 hours. You can change things, move things around and they will accommodate any requests with a smile! We had Lynne as our coordinator and she was amazing! She was so helpful and calm - we couldn’t have asked for better. She is well experienced and can help with anything!

A truly magical venue.

Service above and beyond!

Thanks to Yvette and her team, we had planned the most amazing and dreamlike wedding possible within our budget. Nothing was too much trouble. Then Covid hit. To Yvette, this was a blip, nothing to get excited about. Somehow, despite last-minute u-turns in "guidance" by the government, we managed to have the most magical and amazing day. The venue is astonishing in it's beauty, the size is perfect for small to medium sized weddings. But the staff, in particular Yvette, will make your day spectacular!

The Ravenswood gave me the best day of my life

My wedding was complete perfection, and that was all down to The Ravenswood. The minute I set foot on the venue the day before my wedding I was immediately treated as if I were the only bride in the world. The friendliness, professionalism and sheer competency was just everything and gave me the most stress free and beautiful wedding I could ask for. Our wedding coordinator Molly is the most spectacular person I have ever met and did everything to ensure our day was exactly the way we wanted it. The rest of the staff at The Ravenswood were just as amazing, everybody introduced themselves to me and were so warm and welcoming, putting me at ease immediately. Everybody is such a credit to The Ravenswood and we were so grateful we booked the best venue. Thank you all!!!!

The most organised venue !

From the very beginning of booking the venue I was supplied with an email to give me recommended timetables of the day, other supplier numbers who work closely with ravenswood (although you don’t have to use them). Communication and planning throughout was easy, it even included all the food (which was generous serving) and a DJ (which again, you don’t have to use if you want to supply your own). I got my own wedding coordinator who was in contact throughout! The venue was beautiful and just before the wedding I had a form to fill out finalising details so we didn’t get overwhelmed when asked questions at the final meeting. It really was a case of just turn up on the day and enjoy it! Beautiful grounds and building

Callum Thompson Wedding Photography

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing multiple weddings here at The Ravenswood, and what a venue it is! Set in a picturesque spot, the photos always come out beautifully! Both outdoor and indoor weddings have beautiful ceremony areas, and it’s always a pleasure to take couples for a photoshoot around the wonderful grounds!

Fantastic Wedding

Perfect place for our wedding. Staff were superb from planing to the
day. We couldn't recommend them and in particular, Yvette our
wedding coordinator, highly enough.
The Ravenswood really take care of you and make your day
something to remember.
Beautiful, picturesque grounds and buildings. Excellent food and wine,
with top notch bar staff.
