Reception at The Swan was a dream!
Each room looks incredible, fresh and even has aircon! Which was needed this August. Every guest commented how beautiful it was inside and the surroundings.
Avena and Gordon were extremely good at getting back to us and Gordon was fantastic on the day and night at making all our guests feel welcome and running the order exactly how we asked. Thank you! We would not change a thing.
The Cathedral Suite is perfect!
Staff were super helpful and attentive, the food was delicious.
My only issue was on the fact that the seating was a little low for my hair and makeup artist to work with - so I’d suggest brides ask for an extra chair in advance!
