Wedding day

Swan tipis are an absolutely fantastic wedding venue, our wedding day was simply amazing,
Beautiful backgrounds for photos.
The tipi itself is a wonderful space for a ceremony whether it be a big or small ceremony.

Food was wonderful and all fresh, lots of options to choose from, we had the bbq fire which was amazing.

Rob and all the staff at the swan couldn’t have done more to make our dream day Happen.

We would use them again in a heart beat.

Our wedding

We got married at Swan Tipis in July this year.
Wow! The most amazing day ever which we want to do all over again.
From start to finish Rob and Laura were on hand to help, advise and answer any questions to ensure our day went as smoothly as possible.
We had the upmost confidence in the Swan team and our day was incredible!
A relaxed and very special venue

It Needed To Be Special

Its hard not to over-egg the experience we had with Swan Tipis. Weddings are so important and for a variety of reasons ours was very complicated too. Rob and the team were a delight; efficient, accommodating, helpful and so understanding. We found them on Google and at first it was a leap of faith but our trust was rewarded. They had worked with our photographer too, which made the day run even more smoothly.

We had the perfect day and the Swan team were integral to the experience.

Best venue

Swan Tipi's was the most perfect venue for our wedding, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more. We wanted a chilled wedding and the venue were so flexible and did everything they could to make our day just as we wanted - we had the double tipis, with lawn games, a steel drum band and a BBQ and honestly had the day of our dreams. Rob and Laura and all the team were incredible and we cannot thank them enough. The communication through planning the day to on the day itself was seemless and the whole team were so kind and lovely and just made us feel so at ease. Our friends and family all commented on how lovely everyone was (as well as the beautiful setting and delicious food!). The tipis are in the garden of the beautiful Swan Inn pub which has such a wholesome local feel to it, which just added to the positivity of our day. We cannot recommend this venue enough and can't wait to visit again in the future!

An idyllic setting for an intimate wedding

My stepdaughter was looking for a venue that was different to the norm. She was planning a small wedding of 60 people so needed somewhere to feel intimate and didn't want a soulless function room in a hotel. The moment we saw the website for Swan Tipis we knew it was just the perfect location. The opportunity (weather permitting) to get married outside was too good to ignore.
The team (Rob, Laura & Lawrence plus all the bar and waiting staff) were so helpful and friendly. They kept us all calm when the rain was threatening the outdoor ceremony and they didn't flinch when my stepdaughter mentioned there would be her 6 week old baby attending and that timings may slip because of breast feeding.
We enjoyed a hog roast with all the trimmings followed by homemade pizzas from Lawrence's pizza oven in the evening. All dietary requirements were catered for too. I made the cake and smaller cakes which doubled as dessert.
The guests commented that the venue was beautiful with amazing views across the Suffolk countryside.
The games we hired from Rob kept the children and grown-ups entertained whilst others chatted in the sunshine inbetween the meal and the evening disco. Even though we were a small party and guests had spread out between the tipis, the outside seating, the games and the bar, it still felt intimate. When you are a small wedding there is a risk of the group dispersing too much and the atmosphere being lost. That didn't happen at the Swan Tipis.
I highly recommend the venue and the team as a place to hold your wedding.
PS. The rain stopped just as my stepdaughter began walking down the aisle and we enjoyed beautiful sunshine for the rest of the day.

Best day ever!!!

Rob and Laura make a fantastic team. From the moment we first visited the venue they were professional, friendly and helpful. We had a very small wedding and we loved every minute. The Tipis are in such an idyllic location looking out across the fields. We can officially say we were the first couple to get married in the Tipi due to a downpour just before the start. 🦆🌻🥰 We can't thank Laura and Rob enough for making our day run perfectly we wish we could do the whole day again. Our little boy took a real shine to Laura and he can't wait to visit again. We loved how natural and down to earth and relaxed our whole day was. The most magical day spent with our closest friends and family in such a fantastic setting. ❤️

The best venue!

We couldn’t possibly have had a better wedding day at The Swan and can’t thank Rob and Laura enough for helping make our day so special! They were so responsive and accommodating throughout the whole planning process and the day itself, offered advice where needed on how to make things work better, and put us both at total ease which allowed us to enjoy our day without any stresses! The food was incredible, both the afternoon tea and the pizza in the evening, and everything ran smoothly with their constant but never overbearing presence in the background. The venue itself is beautiful, the tipis, the fields and the pub itself, the perfect backdrop for our day. We really couldn’t recommend this venue enough!

Simply fabulous!

Rob hires the tipis, Laura is front of house and Laurence does the food. They were fabulous all the way through and really lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble and they worked really hard to help us put together the day we wanted. The venue was stunning, they gave lots of suggestions on decorations and helped us set up the day before and the food was exceptional. Our guests gushed about the setting, atmosphere and the catering! We would highly recommend The Swan and loved that they gave us the flexibility to put our personal touches on our special day.
