Everything about this venue was amazing. Alice was so helpful in getting everything set up for us and the night ran completely smoothly. The venue itself is very beautiful and I would recommend The Rawson to anyone.

I love the venue, loved the location and received fantastic service and assistance - super flexible team.
I give venues one chance to impress me - most things about this venue did that - catering, not so much, very little food for the amount we paid, I would strongly suggest that they fix this aspect. However, the quality of the food was very, very good - just not value for money.
