    The perfect wedding venue!

    Minster Mill Hotel is a beautiful place to get married at. The scenery, the area, the grounds are gorgeous but the main thing that made our wedding were the staff, namely Vicky (Wedding Coordinator) and Andrew (Hotel Manager). They went above and beyond on our wedding day making sure everything went as we planned and nothing was too much trouble.

    The venue is a 5* hotel so the price is premium but if you are looking for that premium setting and service, this is the venue for you.

    Highly recommend!

    Our Perfect Wedding at the Old Swan & Minster Mill

    Everything on our wedding day was so wonderful, we couldn’t have asked for more. From the moment we arrived on the Friday, everybody we met was just fantastic.
    We are so grateful to you Amber for all your help in the months running up to the wedding and also to Andrew and Karen for looking after us so well on the day, not to mention the extremely talented kitchen staff who cooked up a storm for us.
    You really do have some wonderful people there at The Old Swan & Minster Mill and we couldn’t be more grateful for the effort everyone went to to make our day so special. We got a true sense that everyone actually cared rather than just doing their job and for this we can’t thank you all enough.

    Thank You

    We just wanted to say a big 'thank you' both to you and your staff at The Old Swan & Minster Mill for helping to make Jessica and David's wedding a wonderful and truly memorable day.

    Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble for your team. Food and organisation was absolutely fantastic throughout.

    Although I know the success of the day reflected a team effort, I would like to extend a personal note of thanks to Andrew, who's calm efficiency throughout the day was greatly appreciated.

    Thank you once again.

    Couldnt have wished for a better weekend

    We would like to thank you and and your staff for an excellent weekend. We couldn't have wished for a better weekend, the weather on Saturday added to it, and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were highly complimentary about the hotel and staff. Everyone was really impressed and being able to freely wander around the grounds and not being ushered around made everything seem unhurried and relaxed, exactly what we wanted. Thank you

    Outstanding Wedding Venue

    We stayed at the Old Swan and Minster Milll as our daughter was to be married there on the Saturday. Our review is therefore both as an hotel and as a wedding venue.
    The situation is beautiful. It is set in a quintessentially English village with the River Windrush running through the property.
    Prior to the wedding and on the wedding day itself all the arrangements were handled principally by Amber and Andrew. Both were not only extremely professional but also gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. This resulted in the minimum of stress for the families involved.
    A BBQ was organised for the Friday evening. The staff coped admirably with wedding guests arriving late into the evening and ensured everyone sat down to a beautifully prepared meal.
    Late minute changes to the wedding plans were handled swiftly and with no fuss. My overall impression of the experience was of a highly professional unit but a unit which engendered an air of friendliness.
    The entire wedding day was superb. Despite catering for 120 guests all the staff on duty were very friendly and very efficient. The food was excellent.
    The hotel staff even stepped in to look after our daughter's dog when our previous plans to have it looked after fell through. They looked after Lola from early in the morning until late at night, They did it cheerfully and willingly. Outstanding.
    This is an outstanding hotel and wedding venue. The staff made our special day even more memorable.

    Huge, Huge Thank You

    We are getting gushing reports from all our guests on how attentive your staff were and how wonderful the venue was. Special thanks to the chefs who we didn't get to see on the day. In fact, our best man reported that it was the best wedding he'd been to and was even better than his own! Andrew was brilliant on the day and Paul and the waiting staff were excellent, they all had the right balance between being efficient and polite, but they were also able to interact and chat with our guests.
    We loved the special little touches in the bedrooms - It made it feel extra special.
    Our guests found the venue and setting beautiful and loved the variety of spaces to explore, both inside and outside.
    We absolutely loved our day, and it went exactly as we wanted so a huge, huge thank you to everyone at Minster Mill and The Old Swan.

    wonderfull,unforgetable wedding.

    We had a wonderfull,unforgetable wedding.
    the weather stayed dry and warm, the room was decorated beautifully.
    All the staff involved were excellent and went that extra mile to accomodate our wishes.
    In particular, Andrew did a first class job of coordinating everything enabling both of us to concentrate on the day.
    All our guests loved the venue, many saying it was an 'amazing' weekend.
    already some have said they will be returning for their anniversary's etc.
    The food was excellent and served promptly so as enabling everyone to eat together on the same course.
    we would highly reccommend the Old Swan & Minster Mill for a wedding based on the stanmdards of service and value we received.
    The hotels rooms were very attractive and all enjoyed their stay.
    we have stayed twice before we got married and will be returning again.
    The Mill was the place we really wanted to marry at and you and your staff made it the magical venue that made our wishes come true.
    Again many thanks to ALL staff involved.

    The Best Day of our lives Our Wedding at Old Swa

    If you are planning a wedding, then look no further!!!
    Our reason for writing was to write a special thank-you to Amber and all the staff for going that extra distance to make our Wedding Day so special - we can`t thank you enough. A special thank-you must go to Andrew (Events Manager) for all his help and support on the actual day. There was nothing that I asked of him that he did not perform with a smile and he was always discreetly on hand to make everything run smoothly and without hitch. What was also reassuring was that whatever I asked I knew it would be done with quiet efficiency and wouldn`t have to check - even down to concealing the owl glove under the ceremony table at the last minute.

    Everything was exactly as pre-planned and as a result made the day run smoothly in a relaxed atmosphere for us.

    Many of the guests were visiting for the first time and were all stunned by how beautiful the Hotel and setting looked - it was breath-taking. The patio area by the Mill stream was ideal for the drinks reception and the beautiful, colourful and well manicured grounds were a particular feature.

    Our photographer was particularly delighted as the grounds, temple and fabulous hotel offered an enormous choice of ideal photo opportunities which resulted in our having a fabulous record of our very special day.

    Thank you too for allowing us to fly "Bubbles" the Barn Owl for the ring delivery during the Ceremony, which was a great success and will be remembered for ever.


    All in all, it was the "best day of our lives" and will stay with us for ever. Thank you.

    Kindest regards and appreciation.

    Peter & Penny

    The day was everything we had hoped it would be

    Thank you so much for a wonderful day on the 4th. We cannot speak highly enough of the day! Everything from the staff, who were all polite and helpful and friendly to the venue being beautiful and most importantly to all the support and guidance from you Emma along the way (both on the day and in the lead up). We couldn't have pulled everything together without all your help. The day really was everything we had hoped it would be and more. The food was delicious, the wine lovely and it was fab to have the Minsters Gallery all to ourselves in the evening!

    Also, the next morning at breakfast we were still treated as a Bride and Groom by the staff which was really lovely, and made us feel that extra bit special.
