Dream wedding comes 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.

Best start to married life
As soon as we were shown around the venue on our first visit we knew we wanted to book it for our wedding. The venue were so helpful and were happy to make minor changes to help our day feel more personal. Katie was a wonderful wedding coordinator on the day and in the run up. She made sure everything was perfect for our special day and that it ran like clockwork. All our guests were singing hers and the venues praises. Thank you, we had a wonderful day x

The choice we ever made !!
I can’t rate this venue and their staff any higher. What a fantastic venue! From the beautiful grounds in any season , to the 5* food, not to mention the staff who literally will accommodate pretty much any request to please their couples. I couldn’t have asked for more . Beautiful venue + beautiful staff = win win !!

Perfect Autumnal 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.

Absolutely amazing
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

The Wedding of Our Dreams
We had the privilege of having Katie as our wedding coordinator and we could not thank her enough! We were incredibly lucky to have someone who is so passionate about weddings be a part of our special day and truly do not think it would have run as smoothly without her. Katie checked in with us throughout the day to let us know suppliers had arrived, checked decor was set up correctly and importantly to make sure we always had a drink. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we are lucky to be able to say it really was perfect. The Ravenswood Team must do thousands of weddings a year but they made ours feel like the only one. All of the staff on site were amazing with creating the wedding of our dreams and the cocktails were such a hit! We had lots going on throughout the whole day and nothing was too much to ask. The food was above and beyond the standard of traditional wedding breakfasts.

We absolutely loved every minute of our wedding at The Ravenswood. They went above and beyond and much more than I could ever of imagined especially our wedding coordinator Natalie Brown, she is one in a million. I couldn't of asked for a better coordinator and I have no faults of the day whatsoever. Thank you all at The Ravenswood.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Ravenswood?

All of our weddings are wonderful but one that is close to our hearts is when Sam, one of our owners got married at The Ravenswood. It was a beautiful sunny day in May (the same day Meghan married Harry!) and seeing so many of Sam and Garion's friends, family and all the staff of The Ravenswood come together to celebrate the happy couple was truly magical!
