Websters Ropery

Myself and my Wife Natalie were married at Websters Ropery, I have to say that this venue is outstanding, the team that works here are without a doubt the best hosts you could ever ask for. From the Planning and lead up where Lauren was great, listening and helping my wife coordinate her plans, to the staff working the day who made sure that we had everything we needed to have our perfect day. Always attentive, always checking in that we were enjoying the occasion and just a friendly and welcoming group of people. Sean, the Co-owner and our host put so much effort in executing what my wife envisioned for her day, from welcoming us in the morning to seeing us through the evening when we let our hair down he made sure that we had everything we needed, we can't thank him enough. Tim, The other Co-owner and brother of Sean worked tirelessly in the kitchen and we have to say with the inclusion of our guests too that the food was phenomenal, the belly pork starter being a stand out dish. The brothers have really cracked what it is to host a wedding to remember and we can't sing theirs or the staff's praises enough. Thank you so much for giving us the day we always hoped for and we wish you all the success you deserve, I urge anyone looking at this venue to do so with the confidence that they will do everything in their power to make sure you have your perfect day!

Webster's Ropery, also known as Deptford Patent Ropery on the River Wear did in fact make actual ropes! Established in 1793 the company reputedly made some of the ropes for Nelson's Flagship HMS Victory. 1804 Production reached 800 tons per year. 1891 they produced a steel rope 4 miles long and weighing 20 tons, for a colliery in south west England. The cranes at the yard and at the goods station were unable to lift the load all at once, so it was made up into three coils, allowing the slack between them to hang, and the coils were lifted one at a time.

We had our wedding at Webster's Ropery on Saturday and what a day we had ❤️ Sean and the team went over and beyond all expectations to make the day absolutely perfect. As a Sunderland girl proud of her roots, this venue ticked all the boxes. Steeped in history, this listed building is beautiful sitting on the banks of the River Wear. We can't thank you enough! Can we do it all over again please?? 🤵👰 xxx
