Mr and Mrs Dieseru

We only had six months to plan our wedding, which felt terrifying until we met the Swancar team. Louise, our wedding planner, was an absolute dream and made the whole journey completely stress-free. The entire experience was simply perfection! Swancar is a visual masterpiece packed with character; whether you're taking in the rolling countryside views, relaxing in the courtyard, admiring the rustic-elegant oak hall and stylish glass barn, or stepping into the intimate orangery, every corner of this venue is truly unforgettable.

Wonderful Sunday Wedding at Swancar

What a wonderful wedding day we had at Swancar! From start to finish, the process was made easy with Tammy as our wedding planner. We fell in love with the venue when we first saw it, and two years later on our wedding day we realised we had made the right choice.

Couldn't fault Swancar for anything- the food was delicious and large portions, the staff were friendly and helpful including the wonderful Tammy who strive to respond quickly and answer all questions we had via email during the planning process.

The location is beautiful and so special being an exclusive venue, allowing you to have the full attention of the staff on your day.

They accommodated everything that we asked for and made our day magical.

Definitely value for money and would recommend to anyone in Nottinghamshire.

Best day of our lives!

Cannot recommend Swancar Farm Country House enough, we had the most perfect day. The staff were amazing and Tammy made our day seamless, she kept us clam throughout and nothing was too much to ask. We’ve only had positive feedback from our guests on the venue, the food and the overflow experience. Wish we could do it all over again! Thank you again to all the staff at Swancar, a day we will remember for ever! Love Mr & Mrs Dudley x

Stunning venue

An absolutely beautiful venue. It gave a very elegant barn vibe with amazing natural lighting in the ceremony rooms for that magical feel. The accommodation for the bridal party the night before also gave that ‘second hen do’ vibe for a memorable night before the wedding. At the time of viewing there was a minimum ‘guest numbers’ that had to be met which was difficult for us as we wanted a more intimate wedding, we did ask if this could be met by a ‘minimum spend’ instead (I.e. spending more on food etc. to cover the smaller number of guests) but were told that wasn’t a possibility unfortunately

Amazing venue!!

We got married in March and wow it absolutely exceeded our expectations, right from the initial viewing back in 2021 we were wowed by Swancar. We viewed lots of venues but as soon as we looked here we both said yes straight away.
We were assigned a wedding co-ordinator who was Tammy and she was amazing, every meeting with her was great, lots of ideas and inspiration, very responsive to emails, the week before there were lots of little things I was worrying about and she responded to everything and ensured the whole day ran smoothly.
Honestly every little detail is thought about, the whole day runs so smoothly and every member of staff there is happy and enjoys your special day which is so nice to see! The food is amazing and portion sizes very generous, evening buffet we went for the chip shop buffet and you won’t be disappointed! Guests say the bar man was very generous too!
We stayed in the old stables the night before which is absolutely stunning and perfect for your night before. The whole experience is just exceptional and we 100% chose the right venue for our special day and one we will never forget! If you are considering getting married here just go for it you honestly won’t regret it!

Best Day Ever!

We had the most amazing wedding at Swancar Farm just before Christmas 2023. The planning support was brilliant from Hayley, the day itself was just perfect and in no small part due to Louise, Caitlin, Mike and all of the team there who were just wonderful!
I don’t have wedding blues but I do have Swancar blues as I wouldn’t want to have had our day anywhere else.

Amazing!

My husband and I got married here on 18th November 2019 and I can honestly say it we had the most amazing experience!
From the moment we booked right through to the morning after the wedding the staff, especially Louise were absolutely incredible, the whole process has been nothing but easy and enjoyable.
Nothing is a problem and Louise did everything she could to personalise our day so that it was exactly what we wanted.
The house itself and the surroundings are stunning and don’t even require any extra touches to make the place look absolutely incredible on your day. There’s an amazing choice of food for your wedding breakfast and evening buffet, which was beautiful. Throughout the day we were constantly checked upon to make sure we were okay, if we ever had an empty glass our drinks were refilled free of charge and the breakfast the following morning was lovely too.
The bridal suite and other guest rooms are beautiful and very comfortable.
The only thing I can say is if your thinking about choosing this place for your wedding, DO IT! You will not regret it at all, it makes your special day so much more special to have the VIP experience we received.
Would just like to make sure Louise gets the recognition she deserves because she has made what is supposed to be quite a stressful experience in terms of planning, so easy and enjoyable, she’s brilliant at her job!
Get married here!

Good afternoon Louise,

Now the dust has finally settled, myself and Lorna wanted to put in writing a massive 'thank you' to yourself and the team.

Our wedding day really was a dream. From the ceremony to the meal and evening do, it all went perfectly and our guests had nothing but praise for staff, the venue and the incredible food. A special thank you for helping to arrange the 10/15 minutes to play the guitar to Lorna too (Her ears have just about recovered), and to Sam on the day before our wedding, she really went above and beyond to help.

We'll be recommending the venue to all of our friends and family in the hope we'll be able to return soon!

We had our wedding day here on 22nd March 2019 & cannot recommend this venue enough. Apart from it's beautiful building & interior the staff were also amazing. Rachael our coordinator made the whole planning process enjoyable & nothing was too much trouble. She was always there to answer any questions & on the day she worked tirelessly to ensure the whole day went perfectly. The bar staff & servers were brilliant as was Mike who was very attentive in making sure we were happy. The food was amazing as were the portion sizes! I stayed in the old stables the night before which was absolutely beautiful. We have no doubt that we picked the perfect venue & would like to thank all at Swancar farm for making our day very special & memorable. Love the new Mr & Mrs Scott xx

Special Thanks

We got married at Swancar Farm at the beginning of February. Everything was beautiful and went without a hitch! The whole team were helpful and professional - special thanks to Mike, who made sure that the day ran smoothly throughout. We both said after the day that we couldn’t envisage getting married anywhere else, it was truly the perfect location! Thanks so much to everyone ??

I cannot thank all the staff at Swancar enough for making our wedding day one to remember.
Everything ran so smoothly and the guests were blown away by how professional and well organised everything was, and even how stunning the venue is!
Rachael was extremely helpful and was our personal contact leading up to the wedding and on the day and she was fantastic.
I really can not recommend this venue enough, it truly is perfect.

Thank you for helping us create such special memories, we hope you all enjoyed sharing our special day with us.

Love Mr and Mrs Jackson x
