Describe the best wedding that happened at Ragley Hall?
At a June Wedding, after the ceremony, a handful of guests turned into a flash mob bursting into Whitney Houston and Mariah show-stoppers. Afterwards renaissance stilt walkers guided guests to the wedding breakfast, which was crashed by a steam punk pianist, who provided the soundtrack to the banquet. Afterwards, guests arrived to the Rose Gardens to welcome the evening guests and greet the Bride & Groom, only to find 4 brides make an entrance, 3 of which were drag queens. It was truly spectacular from start to finish.

One of our couples named their evening bar after their Labrador and even handmade a neon sign in the resemblance of him, just to make sure he could still be part of their special day.
