The most amazing place to get married

We would like to thank you for all your hardwork and attention to detail you put in to our daughter and daughter in laws wedding on Friday . The venue was more than we could have imagined it to be and the food was just unbelievable, many comments were made to us about it. Your staff were so diligent to each and every person and made things run so smoothly. We just can’t thank you enough for making it such a special day for all of us ,one we will never forget. As we were packing up and your staff helped us carry everything to the cars, one young lady commented on what a lovely place it was to work and even being agency was treated so well. A comment like that just shows us that we definitely chose the right venue. Please pass on our thanks to everyone and we will be singing your praises and passing your name around as the wedding venue to use

Stunning wedding location

From the moment we were greeted by Steve at the gate at 9am with his friendly smile, enthusiasm and genuine warmth we knew that it was going to be a wonderful wedding day for our son and soon to be daughter-in-law. The team, each and every one of them, are an absolute credit to Just Inspire, they were incredibly attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble – from finding me a plaster for my feet from ill fitting wedding shoes to helping us carry wedding paraphernalia over the bridge to our waiting taxi at midnight. All of the guests marvelled at the beautiful venue and the stunning location, it was just perfect. And the food, just wow. Joseph and Lauren chose the Sociable Dining option which EVERYBODY enjoyed and all the guests couldn’t talk highly enough of the food. The Pad Thai, pizza and mini Häagen-Dazs ice-cream went down particularly well in the evening. Steve and his team absolutely excel at what they do, thank you for giving us a day we shall never forget.

A wonderful wedding venue!

We had the best wedding day we could have wished for at the Riverside Glasshouse. From the moment we enquired, Steven was brilliant and we felt so looked after. Any questions we had were always answered quickly and we felt completely supported through the planning. The day ran like clockwork, everything went smoothly and all the staff on the day were brilliant - we couldn’t have asked for more. The food was amazing (we have guests still talking about it) and the venue gave us the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for with the added wow-factor of somewhere a bit different. We are so happy we chose the Riverside Glasshouse, thank you to all the staff!

What a day!

This venue, and there staff are top tier. From our first visit to view the venue we knew we needed to get married there. Our 3 day of co-ordinators were out of this world! From having to get two brides down the aisle, to keeping our unconventional family and friends happy with our strange music tastes! The street food was phenomenal and I wish I had been a guest so I could have eaten more! This venue and the staff cannot get enough compliments and our family and friends couldn't stop gushing about you all afer the wedding! I think you guys were the highlight, not us, the brides! From start to finish our day was perfect. The security made us feel very important and the gents who did security were lovely! Our vendors had no issues accessing and conversing with the staff here. I'd like to give a special mention to the bar staff who worked on our wedding day, you guys were beyond fun and joyful, and I think you approved of our music choices as well! This is a top tier wedding venue and I wish I could gatekeep it and get married there all over again. We've definitely had the wedding of the decade thanks to the beautiful scenery and staff at this venue. Kerry and I honestly cannot thank you all enough, we had such a special day and we're glad all the staff that worked for our wedding worked that day. Thank you guys, you absolutely smashed it, lots of love to you all!

The perfect venue

The perfect venue. That is the easiest way to describe our experience working with the team at The Riverside Glasshouse for our Wedding Day. The venue itself is simply beautiful, and the perfect choice for an autumn wedding, situated in the centre of Jephson Gardens. Steve is amazing to work with, offering continuous support and encouragement throughout the whole process leading up to and including the wedding day. A clear professional, with a passion for helping make your day as special as possible. On the day – the team were fantastic and ensured everything went as planned, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing! They make sure you are taken care of on your big day! As well as the amazing service by Steve and his team, the food was a hit with all our guests. Not only did it look incredible and taste delicious, but with Steve’s help and direction we were also able to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements – so everyone was safe, comfortable, and had plenty to eat! All our guests have only been offering the highest praise for the venue, staff, and food. And we too can’t recommend it highly enough.

Mr and Mrs Nicholson

We got married at the Riverside Glasshouse 23rd Sep 2022. It was the best decision we have ever made. Steven and his team were beyond accommodating and supportive throughout the whole process. On the day, we didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was taken care of with exceptional standards. All of our guests went out of their way to comment on the outstanding service and delicious cuisine. The unique surroundings and beautiful back drops allowed for our photographer and videographer to capture some of the most incredible footage. Unlike a lot of typical wedding venues nowadays, the Glasshouse is entirely flexible to your desires and dreams. We would not recommend this venue enough, everything about our day was perfection. We want to do it all over again!

Fairytale Magic Brought To Life At This Secret Garden Venue

Sam and I were looking for a wedding venue that both got us excited and gave us that special feeling! The Riverside Glasshouse captured our imaginations as soon as we stepped inside and we knew it was unique enough to reflect us as a couple whilst also being a great venue for our guests with easy transport links from the North and South. We said our vows under the stunning greenery then ate our wedding breakfast looking over the glistening river. On meeting Steven and his team we were confident that we were in safe hands. We could call or email anytime and always got a friendly, quick and helpful response. The online table planning tool and meal planning was a dream to use when trying to keep track of 80+ guests. The team worked with us to develop a fully gluten free menu including vegan options which tasted delicious. So many of our guest commented on how excellent the food was and couldn't beleive the freshness and variety as we had the sharing dishes. We used a few of the venues suggested suppliers including venue dressing and DJ, both of whom were outstanding. This venue has to be the best kept secret in Warwickshire and its excellence shines through in everything the team does.

Arancini balls or maybe, Parma ham, mozzarella and sun-blushed tomato croûte or should I say vegan rainbow spring rolls (VG).... Hard to say, no sorry I can't make up my mind.

Chef Russell's own recipe KFC - Korean Fried Chicken or maybe the meatballs marinara with short (no mess) spaghetti and parmesan, we serve all of our evening food Streetfood style, no messy buffets at The Riverside Glasshouse...

The views of the park and the riverside location are unbeatable and not many venues can boast their very own indoor botanical garden to hold ceremonies in or dance the night away in. Did you know that our aisle has it's very own pond and stunning plants from all over the world.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We are proud of way we have supported our clients through the Covid-19 pandemic, we only had two cancellations during this whole time because we stopped taking new bookings in 2020 so that we could preserve suitable dates for our existing VIP clients to postpone if they needed to. All of our couples were calm and it felt like we have been in this difficult time together, it is so nice to see them all getting married as we move through 2022. The biggest unique selling point for our business is our people, not a wedding goes buy without thank you letters and emails coming in from our couples and their families
