Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum guest requirement and capacity limits for wedding events?

Ravens Ait Island requires a minimum of 45 guests for all bookings due to the size of the rooms. For smaller weddings under 45 guests, they recommend their sister property Warren House Hotel which can accommodate intimate ceremonies for up to 30 guests with larger rooms available.

How much do wedding packages cost and what's included?

Wedding packages start from £70-£120 per guest depending on the menu selection and room choice. The Party Package includes event room hire (Marquee & Lawns or Thames Suite), meal service, welcome drink, complimentary ferry transport, and use of the island until midnight. Additional costs include bar service with a 10% discount on pre-ordered drinks.

What are the timing restrictions and curfew for wedding celebrations?

Music is allowed until 11:45PM and all guests must vacate the island by midnight. These are firm house rules that apply to all events including weddings.

How does transportation to the island work for wedding guests?

Ferry collection and drop-off is complimentary for all events. The venue operates a shuttle-style service with two boats running back and forth continuously, taking only 30-45 seconds to reach the island. For larger groups, they can arrange a 50-80 seater boat for one hour during guest arrival, subject to availability.

Can we bring our own suppliers for catering, music, and decorations?

Outside DJ, band, and decor are allowed. However, the venue does not permit outside drinks, though management may approve up to 10 bottles of external wine for a £100 corkage fee inclusive of VAT. Outside catering policies are not clearly specified in available information.

What deposit is required and when must it be paid?

A 50% deposit is required to secure the date if the event is within 6 months. All dates are secured on a first-come, first-served basis, and the venue cannot hold dates during the consultation period.

What ceremony and reception spaces are available for weddings?

The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies in the Thames Suite or Britannia Suite. Reception options include the Marquee & Lawns for larger celebrations, or the Thames Suite & Patio for smaller gatherings. The venue also features front lawns perfect for wedding photography and group shots.

Are there accommodation options for wedding guests?

Ravens Ait Island does not have on-site accommodation, but they recommend nearby partner hotels including Warren House Hotel, Hampton Suites, and Crowne Plaza Surbiton. Guests must arrange their own accommodation at these external properties.

What catering options are available for wedding receptions?

Wedding catering includes various menu options from finger food and BBQ buffets to 3-course plated meals and Indian buffet options. Packages can include canapés (2-3 per guest), welcome drinks (Prosecco or juice/chai), and wine service (half bottle per guest with meals). Specific menus like Classic, Platinum, and Diamond options are available.

Can we hold our wedding ceremony and reception on the same day?

Yes, the venue can accommodate both ceremony and reception on the same day. They are licensed for civil ceremonies in their indoor suites, and the Marquee provides the perfect space for wedding receptions. The venue offers exclusive use of the island for your celebration.
