- SScott & Elen14/01/2025Magical venue which is completely unique Magical venue which is completely uniqueMy partner & I got married here in June 2024 and it was the most amazing weekend thanks to the amazing people at the Rivercatcher & being able to make the whole weekend completely unique! All the grounds and accommodation are yours for the weekend, each of which are gorgeous and it really feels like you have hired a small village with nearest & dearest. It is all dog friendly too! We had access on Friday night for a pre-wedding meal, had our ceremony outside overlooking the river and hired a Tipi on Saturday for the reception and held a post wedding brunch in the Lodge on Sunday, it was everything we’d hoped for. The pictures speak for themselves and I really couldn’t recommend this as a venue enough ❤️My partner & I got married here in June 2024 and it was the most amazing weekend thanks to the amazing people at the Rivercatcher & being able to make the whole weekend completely unique!
