Very lucky to have had our wedding here
We was very lucky to have had our wedding here. The location and the village is absolutely beautiful. Our day was just perfect thanks to the wonderful Molly and all the team at the Swan hotel. Everything was well organised and ran so smoothly we didn't have to worry or do a thing. Our guests all enjoyed every moment and would return. Obviously we are returning as much as possible. THANK YOU 😊

Absolutely amazing day.
We got married at the Swan Hotel in May 2023 and it was an absolutely amazing day. The whole process of planning with Molly was super easy and the day itself was completely faultless thanks to Molly and the team for being so attentive. Hotel rooms, location and service was brilliant and would recommend to others. Everyone had a great time. Thanks Molly!

Beautiful little gem of a place
Beautiful little gem of a place, especially when the sun's out for an outdoor wedding ceremony! Had the pleasure of shooting a wedding here a while ago. Lovely food and friendly staff too

A beautiful riverside wedding venue in the heart of The Cotswolds!
We have had the pleasure of photographing many gorgeous weddings at this quintessential Cotswolds hotel. The riverside setting of this venue makes a perfect backdrop for photographs with numerous bridges to choose from. It has it’s own private garden on an island in the river Coln where you can have an outdoor ceremony and guests can enjoy garden games and the famous duck race! Lovely friendly staff are on hand to help in every way and the food always tastes delicious!

A wonderful venue, in a beautiful location with amazing staff on hand at all times for a perfect wedding day! 5 stars!
Having been part of a wedding at the Swan, it its absolute a hidden gem. The location is obviously very special and the Swan Hotel matches its surrounds equally as a wedding venue. The staff are also absolutely fantastic and full of energy, with a passion to make sure everything on the day runs smoothly and if anything does go astray from planned they are ready to step in to make it right. The Duck race was loads of fun and adds a little extra to the day and creates some superb photo opportunities. The catering was spot on and tasted great, and served quickly. I was at a winter wedding, and the bar area was perfect for a cosy indoor drinks reception area with a proper log fire. I can imagine a summer wedding would be equally amazing with the gardens. A wonderful venue, in a beautiful location with staff on hand at all times to make sure the day runs perfectly! 5 stars!
Response from the venue

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Swan Hotel, Bibury?

There are too many but a moment that really stands out is the groom secretly hiring a piper to play the bag pipes as the bride walked down the aisle, she had no idea about it until about 30 seconds before she walked down the aisle. What made it even more special is that it was the same piper that just happened to be playing nearby when they got engaged up in Scotland who took a few photo’s for them, the groom took his contact details then without the bride knowing! Either this or a different groom hiring singing waiters which not even the bride knew about, they blended in with our staff for the 1st half of the meal and at the end they burst into song, created a fantastic atmosphere and had everyone on their feet dancing and singing along.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
