Peter Rowland at Ripponlea were just fantastic, especially Fiona Scanlon, our sales person. Very professional and always available to answer questions I had. The night ran perfectly!
Emily, thank you for your feedback! Appreciate your kind words on our team's professionalism. Kind Regards, Peter Rowland Team
We had our ceremony here, it was absolutely beautiful outside in the gardens!
A really lovely venue, and it was great that we were able to have the ceremony and reception at the same place!
National Trust were quite strict about the time frames for the ceremony booking, but the fees were not too expensive, and generally the wedding ceremony was coordinated well. Lucy was also very friendly and helpful!
However we would have preferred a bit more assistance with liaising between National Trust and Peter Rowland, given that they are the exclusive caterer at Rippon Lea.
Thank you very much for your feedback! The Peter Rowland team were delighted to host your wedding reception in our Ballroom. I am delighted to hear that the National Trust did an amazing job in facilitating your ceremony, and appreciate your feedback regarding the liasing between National Trust and our team. Please rest assured we have addressed this with the team to ensure that we improve on this. Kind Regards Peter Rowland Team
Beautiful location and such a beautiful set up. It was simple but elegant with beautiful gardens. The mansion at night time was stunning and offered perfect photo opportunities. Highly recommend.
