From start to finish, the team at The Lion and Swan were excellent and made our day so special. During the run up to the big day, Jess couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her nor the rest of the team. Everything was well organised and this put our minds at ease and allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Thank you to all that made our day one to remember!

We had the best day celebrating our wedding at the Lion & Swan in Congleton! We started with initial discussions over 1 1/2 years ago with Jess, the hotel's brilliant wedding co-ordinator. From choosing the drinks and food menu, to all sorts of dietary requirements, live music requests, arrangements with our photographer, celebrant, hairdresser etc. - with Jess' support, everything was stress-free for us. The food was fantastic (thanks to the lovely chef) and the service team were very cheerful and caring throughout the day. The Lion & Swan was the ideal venue for us as we had some friends and family coming from abroad who were able to stay at this beautiful hotel. The bridal suite is very spacious so you can get ready for the big day in the morning along with your bridesmaids. We can also highly recommend the great breakfast the next morning! To summarise, 3 things stood out: 1. stunning location with the mix of newly renovated bright rooms and elements of historic charm (lovely for photos) 2. exceptional service and food quality with a motivated team 3. the great organisational support from the wedding coordinator Jess during the preparation & also on the special day

Our wedding day at The Lion & Swan was perfect from start to finish, we wish we could relive the day all over again. Our wedding co-ordinator Hess communicated with us through the whole process and made it very easy and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and jess was always happy to assist with any requests from choosing our package and tweaking things to accommodate us. We created our own menu with the knowledge and advice from the chef who produced a delicious meal which all of our friends and family enjoyed. The addition of canapés to our package was the perfect add to our drinks reception, we were able to choose from a wide selection and also request our own additions. The squid ink and crab arancini is a must! Jess and the team made sure the day ran smoothly and were happy to help at any point, all the staff are so friendly and we’re happy to make our day special. We chose the terrace for our ceremony and drinks reception, Leone for our wedding breakfast and a section of the lounge area was roped off for our break before the evening guests arrived. Our evening celebration was held in Radley & co which was the perfect setting to get the party started, the stage area was set up for our band Double Lively and then followed by Jorge Martin as DJ organised by the venue. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding if you are looking for a relaxed well organised stress free day this is the prefect place for your celebration.
