Theravenswood Reviews 

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with The Ravenswood for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew The Ravenswood was the right choice for us. When comparing it with other venues, it simply ticked all the boxes — but what really stood out was how supported, looked after and at ease we felt throughout the entire process.

The wedding day itself was genuinely one of the best days of our lives, and even during those nerve-wracking final weeks leading up to it, we always felt that we were in safe hands.

Our Coordinator, Natalie, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, approachable, trustworthy and reliable, and nothing ever felt like too much of an ask. She helped make the whole process feel so much less daunting and, most importantly, made sure our wedding felt completely personal to us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to have by our side in the lead-up to the big day.

We also want to give a special shout-out to Ellie, who gave us our initial tour and helped arrange our package. From our very first visit, she was so welcoming and made such a great first impression.

The Ravenswood gave us a wedding day that we will look back on with so much love and happiness for the rest of our lives. We are incredibly grateful to every member of staff who played a part in making it so special.

A huge thank you to Natalie, Ellie and the entire Ravenswood team — we will always have such a special place in our hearts for The Ravenswood. 🤍

Lots of love,
Chloe & Lloyd Osland

We had a family wedding at The Ravenswood yesterday and stayed overnight in the disabled access room, the room was ideal, with a super sized wet room. It was so unusual to find a comfort height WC and very supportive shower seat and good handrails all round.

The whole event from start to finish was absolutely first class, we were made to feel welcome straight away and I can only say every member of staff we encountered were always pleased to help and ensure we had a great time, I can only ask the management to thank them all on our behalf, I think they enjoyed having the assistance dog there too.

The food was fantastic everything that should be hot was hot and the wedding meal will be something I remember for its presentation and quality of ingredients and taste, the canapes after the ceremony need a mention too. I feel its a shame you cannot go for a meal at any other time as if it were a restaurant it would be booked every night.

As a wedding photographer, we had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at The Ravenswood in Sussex, and we must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were in awe of the beauty of the 15th century Manor House. Nestled in the rolling countryside of Sharpthorne, the venue is located in the heart of the Ashdown Forest, and it truly is beautiful. The setting provides a peaceful and serene backdrop for your big day.

The Ravenswood offers a great deal of flexibility for couples, as it can accommodate up to 150 guests for civil ceremonies and up to 300 guests for evening receptions. The property is massive, and the happy couple has exclusive use of the function rooms and 18 acres of grounds on their wedding day, making the experience truly special.

One of the highlights of this venue for us was the Getting Ready Room. This room provides a space for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready in a relaxed and comfortable environment before the big day. The Honeymoon Suite was also a standout feature, offering the perfect place for the newlyweds to end their perfect day. And with a total of 33 bedrooms on the property, there are plenty of options for guests to stay overnight.

The exquisite menus offered by The Ravenswood cater to all dietary requirements, which is a testament to their commitment to providing a memorable experience for all guests. The venue truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels at home.

In conclusion, The Ravenswood is an amazing wedding venue that provides a peaceful and serene setting, ample space for guests, and plenty of luxurious amenities to make the day truly special. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a dream wedding location.

Kindest regards
