”We are thrilled that (our) event was such a resounding success and are pleased to share that we’ve received extremely positive feedback from participants. This would not have been possible without your close collaboration, meticulous organisation, and unwavering dedication.
The newly renovated Rhodes House proved to be a truly exceptional venue and undoubtedly enhanced the overall experience. Our guests were deeply impressed and, like us, felt privileged to be there—no photo opportunity was missed!”

”After choosing the Glass Pavilion at Rhodes House as the best possible venue for our event, we could not have felt more supported throughout our journey with the event team – right through from concept to delivery.
Communications were seamless, with the team making delightful suggestions and facilitating really useful discussions with external suppliers while we were building the overall arc of the event. The catering team’s reputation preceded them (we had heard fantastic things!), but on the night our expectations were blown out of the water, with each detail having been executed absolutely beautifully. Every staff member involved with the event was professional, friendly and helped to elevate the experience for us and our guests.”
”Rhodes House has been an exceptional venue for our recent conference of over 150 attendees for the past two years. Our Event Coordinator at Rhodes was pivotal to the success of both of our events. He meticulously took every detail into account and remained available at a moment’s notice. The catering, audio-visual setup, room temperature, and numerous last minute requests were flawlessly managed.
A particular highlight was lunch in the spectacular dining hall; the food was delicious and the team accommodated every dietary requirement seamlessly.”
-Leslie Brandon, Oxford Healthspan
”Just wanted also to say a huge thank you to you and your team for our wonderful gala dinner at Rhodes House.
In our feedback form there were so many compliments about the dinner. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the whole event felt so upmarket and English. Which was what I was hoping for.
Really appreciate the level of care everyone took. As soon as I met you and visited the place I stopped worrying. I knew it would run smoothly.”

”Rhodes House was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Over the course of the day we made full use of the beautiful gardens, the glass pavilion, the historic hall, and the intimate reception rooms. Each space brought something different to the celebration. The food and drink were of the highest quality, and so many of our guests commented on how excellent it was. The onsite accommodation was also a particular highlight; having access to over thirty rooms made everything so much easier for our guests. Everything ran smoothly thanks to the wonderful staff, and our Events Manager in particular was an absolute joy to work with. He helped facilitate every request we had and made the whole day feel truly customised to us.
We have so many wonderful memories of our wedding at Rhodes House, and couldn't recommend it highly enough!”
-Laurel & Anthony
