The most perfect day!

Everything about the day was more than anything we could have imagined! From the first time we went to view the venue to leaving the day after our wedding, everything was so thoughtful and just everything we dreamed off. The staff went above and beyond constantly! Louise our coordinator had thought of every single detail, and was always available to answer any questions we had. The staff on the day were so attentive, especially Brian who all our guests said was just so helpful and kind! The day went so smoothly and it’s all thanks to the staff! The venue is stunning, the food was delicious and accommodation was lovely! The venue offered everything we wanted! Accommodation for the night before, a venue that feels like everyone will be together all night partying, amazing food, stunning views, accommodation for guests the night of the weeding! We can’t recommend Swancar enough! They really made our wedding the best day of our lives!

The best day of our lives..

We got married at swancar on 21st August and it was truly the best day of our lives.
When we first came to swancar it was for one of the opening days we instantly fell in love with the venue it was everything and more. The venue is just breathtaking the grounds that surround the venue are beautiful with many photo opportunities for your wedding day.
I booked the old stables for myself and the bridesmaids the night before and wow I would highly recommend it was so lovely to unwind before the big day and also wake up and have all your girls getting ready together. It’s such a special touch.
The wedding day was absolutely seamless everything ran smoothly all staff were very knowledgeable throughout the day. Our wedding planner Louise went above and beyond on our special day and running up to the day, she answered all our questions and helped us throughout the whole experience and we were very grateful for Louise and all her hard work she put in.
The food and drinks at the venue are amazing everything tasted great.
We also loved that we got to give our guests as choice of food at no extra cost which not many places offer this.
We had many guests tell us what an amazing day it was and that’s a huge thanks to everyone at swancar we had an unforgettable day and this venue will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Memories that we will treasure forever, we wish we could do it all over again.
Mr & Mrs Jones 🤍

Where do we even start?! 🥹🤍

Tammy is an absolute credit to Swancar, and we honestly cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make sure our wedding day ran perfectly from start to finish.

From our very first wedding meeting, Tammy made the whole planning process feel so exciting, enjoyable and completely effortless. We clicked with her straight away and felt like we could ask her anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better wedding coordinator to be by our side throughout the whole journey.

Our wedding day itself was absolutely perfect. Everything ran so smoothly, and we were able to completely relax and enjoy every second knowing we were in the best possible hands. Even a heatwave couldn’t stop Swancar from making our day incredible! ☀️😂

From the bottom of our hearts, Swancar will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We are so incredibly grateful to Tammy and every single member of the Swancar team for everything they did to make our wedding so magical and memorable.

Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, from the incredible food, the amazing staff, the beautiful rooms and, of course, the stunning grounds. Every single detail was perfect. Swancar really is the most beautiful and special place, and we feel so lucky that we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives there.

Thank you, Swancar, for giving us memories that we will treasure forever. We genuinely wish we could do it all over again! Ellis & Jack🤍✨

Above and beyond 💫

We cannot recommend Swancar enough!
From our very first visit we felt so welcomed. Every staff member was lovely and polite and we truly felt that they wanted to help us.
The venue itself is stunning with many great features both inside and out. Having the Stables to stay the night before was fantastic and we were so thankful of the stunning Glass Barn to have our group photographs in due to the rainy weather.

We cannot thank Louise enough for her time, patience and advice throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was always onboard with our ideas (however crazy they may be) and we knew that our wedding day would be in safe hands with her. On the day, she was always around to help guide and support not only us but our families and friends. Thank you once again, Louise.

All the staff were amazing on the day but we truly felt Meleisha went above and beyond, ensuring we were looked after throughout the whole day and especially in the evening. I remember meeting Meleisha for the first time at our food taster event so it was lovely to have her with us on the day.

The food at Swancar surpassed our expectations, even after our taster event - which we highly recommend if you are able to book on! Having the choice menu worked perfectly for us (being a very fussy eater) and many of our guests commented on how fabulous the day and evening food was.

We are so glad we chose to have our wedding at Swancar and cannot thank the team enough!

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.

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.

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
