We got married here last month and can't rate it highly enough. The venue is beautiful. Perfect for DIY weddings with enough of its own charm to go minimal on decor.
We had booked another venue before being let down during covid. The other venue was literally an empty barn for pretty much the same price so to find roodlea which had tables, seating, lighting, sound system, bar and a few accessories like barrels thrown in was great. I also loved how there was different sections for guests to mingle and the curtains can be let out or drawn in to make the space feel more intimate.
A lot of venues have set suppliers who they work with but it was great that roodlea don't. Nothing was off limits and it gave us the opportunity to really personalise our day.
Above all though, I have to say Caroline went out her way to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of and the day before. She was really flexible with plans and last minute changes. She even stepped up to play the music for the ceremony and came to check on us before the ceremony and throughout the day. She liaised with the catering staff and rearranged seating plans the day before with a few cancellations. This was all above her remit of what was expected of her. All the staff behind the bar were great on the night and everyone commented on how reasonably priced it was for a wedding venue.
The bridal suite is gorgeous and a nice touch to get ready in just before the ceremony. The house is also perfect to prolong your celebrations and not worry about transport in the morning and late at night you can just cross the garden into bed.
Would definitely recommend.
