Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum guest requirement for wedding bookings at Ravens Ait Island?

Ravens Ait Island requires a minimum of 45 guests for wedding bookings due to the size of the venue rooms. For smaller weddings under 45 guests, they recommend their sister property Warren House Hotel instead.

How much does a wedding package cost and what is included?

Wedding packages start from £70-£120 per guest depending on the menu selection and room choice. This includes venue hire, food (buffet or 3-course meal options), welcome drink, ferry transport to/from the island, and basic setup. Additional costs apply for upgrades like premium menus (£5-£15 per person), canapés (£10 per person), and bar packages.

What are the venue hire time restrictions and curfew for weddings?

Music is allowed until 11:45PM and all guests must vacate the island by midnight. The venue operates a strict curfew policy with no exceptions due to their island location and ferry transport requirements.

How does transportation to the island work for wedding guests?

One larger 50-80 seater boat is typically booked for guest arrival (subject to availability), and the journey takes only 30-45 seconds to reach the island.

What deposit is required to secure a wedding date?

A 50% deposit is required to secure the date if the wedding is within 6 months of booking. All dates are secured on a first-come, first-served basis, and the venue cannot hold dates during the consultation period without a deposit.

Can couples bring their own suppliers and decorations for weddings?

Yes, outside DJs, bands, and decorations are allowed at Ravens Ait Island. However, the venue does not allow outside drinks, though management may approve up to 10 bottles of external wine for a corkage fee of £100 inclusive of VAT on special occasions.

What wedding ceremony and reception spaces are available?

The main reception area features bi-fold doors opening onto a riverside terrace with Thames views, perfect for ceremonies or cocktail receptions.

What catering options are available for wedding receptions?

Wedding catering includes BBQ buffet options, Indian buffet menus, and formal 3-course meals with choices like Classic, Diamond, and Platinum menus. All packages include a welcome drink (prosecco, juice, or chai), and wine packages offer half a bottle per guest with meals. The venue provides a 10% discount on all pre-ordered drinks.

Is parking available for wedding guests at Ravens Ait Island?
