We recently got married at Swynford manor on the 3rd of March and had the most amazing wedding day!!! Originally from Essex but now live in Ireland I saw this venue and was 100% certain this was the place I was going to get married!! From the start the whole process was smooth sailing. Our meetings with Matt our wedding coordinator were very helpful. Excellent communication via WhatsApp and then emails with Matt! The day itself was just PERFECTION!!! Matt cracked on and without even asking he knew where to be putting stuff and what would look good where etc. he was amazing. I loved having Matt as our coordinator he’s a credit to Swynford! We literally had the best wedding day ever! Thank you so much for all the hard working staff on the day. Lots of love to you all. Mr&Mrs Collins (Kirsty & Dave) xxx -

When looking for wedding venues, Swynford Manor was the first once we came to look at. When I showed my new husband it online, he wasn't sure, but the moment we pulled up down the sweeping driveway we fell in love. The second time we came back to view reassured us that it was the place for us, as when we walked out we just couldn't wait to share it with our family.
Every staff member we dealt with from the moment we first made contact was excellent. They always had time to answer our questions, no matter how small or complicated. They accommodated for our menu requests regarding allergies, fussy eaters, and my favourite dessert only being on the child's menu (which they still gladly made for me adult portion sized!)
Our originally allocated wedding coordinator left in a hurry just a few weeks before our wedding which, naturally, panicked me a little. However Lorna stepped straight in and did a great job. She made the effort to speak with us beforehand to clarify everything and ensure we were all on the same page. On the day she was wonderful at being there at the exact moment whenever we needed her. The whole team on the wedding day were also great - the service was excellent. The food was delicious; every single guest commented on how nice it was. The evening food must have also been excellent as my husband went back for more 3 times (didn't give any to me though unfortunately!).
The rooms were stunning too. We got to use the newly refurbished prep room not long after it was done, which was a lovely surprise and even the make up and hair artists commented on how nice it was. The honeymoon suite has excellent lighting for the dress photos and reveals. The beds were so comfortable part of me wishes we could have had more time in the room to enioy it. It was hot the day of our wedding too so the aircon throughout was greatly appreciated.
I stayed in the lodge with my bridal party the night before. Sadly, I didn't get the best night's sleep - a mixture of nerves, excitement and an unfamiliar bed for me - but my bridal party said they got a great night's sleep. It is a lovely little place to spend the night before with your select few, and also means you don't need to travel far to start getting ready.
The breakfast the day after the wedding was tasty and just what we needed. And even after that day, the staff were great when we had a few forgotten items. When I came back in to collect them, they made the effort to say congratulations again and ask how life was settling down etc.
We definitely want to come back for Christmas and charity events to experience the fantastic venue over and over again.
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who we dealt with and all the staff who helped make our wedding day run so perfectly.

The thing that first drew us to Swynford Manor was the staff, who seemed so professional and efficient when we first looked round the venue. We definitely made the right decision! Our wedding was everything we’d hoped for and more. Matthew in particular is a real asset to the venue, directing our entire day and making us feel like we could ask him anything. The food was amazing too and all our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it is. Would highly recommend! -

Alex & I got married at Swynford Manor on Easter Saturday. We had the most amazing day and Matthew (our co-ordinator for the day) was incredible. From our final planning meeting to the wedding day we fully trusted Matthew and everyone at Swynford, they understood our vision and it was a seamless operation. There were a few problems in the morning with getting access to the additional bedroom, but Matthew handled the situation very well and we were completely on time regardless. He was exactly the person you want around on the morning of your wedding, we were both able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything because we knew Matthew had it under control. We had a big wedding so our ceremony was in the Garden Room instead of The Study which meant a big changeover from Ceremony to Meal, the whole Swynford team did an amazing job along with our suppliers, it was beautiful. We were fortunate enough to have some sunshine so the outdoor area was open which was really lovely because the outside area is beautiful, especially with the new Pergola. All of our guests were impressed with the food, and as foodies ourselves we were very happy. It was great to have the tasting evening beforehand, especially because you get an idea of how Swynford will deliver a dinner for a large amount of guests rather than sitting down just the two of us in a restaurant. We added on the cocktail our which we would definitely recommend, our guests LOVED it and it was more special to us that offering a free bar. The bridal suite had also changed from when we first booked the venue to when we got married but we preferred it to the original, less stairs to climb! And the beds were so so comfortable, it was difficult to wake up the next day.
We honestly just had the best, stress free day. Couldn't recommend it enough. -

We cannot thank Lorna and the team at Swynford enough. We had the most amazing and perfect day! Everything ran smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything throughout the day as the team at Swynford dealt with it all! Every single member of staff was amazing and friendly and nothing was too much of an ask! It really was the best day of our lives and we just want to relive it over and over again! Lorna from all your reassurances, nothing was ever too much, your communication and attention during the planning process when we needed to change little details, fluffing my dress, and keeping my big secret! THANK YOU! ❤️ All of our guests said the venue was stunning, food was amazing, and that it was the best wedding they had ever been too! ❤️ -

We laughed all day
We got married last December and we had the best day ever! Everything was meticulously taken care of and we didn’t not have to worry about anything on the day! We laughed the whole time!
An honorary mention goes to Matthew we couldn’t have done it without him and he was a joy to have around on our day! -
