Viv, mother of the groom (Dan & Emma)
Wedding: August
September 2024
24 hours was not enough...
Dan & Em’s wedding was phenomenal. As the MOTG I was thrilled to see how happy and relaxed my son was on his special day. It was no wonder really, not only was he marrying his best friend, but the day was superbly well organised from beginning to end, with personal touches and thoughtful additions throughout. Marrying in such a beautiful place, with such a dramatic backdrop was the icing on the cake. I loved seeing their guests having a great time in a fabulous space under a perfect sky.

Unforgettable wedding!
What an unforgettable wedding! It was one of the most joyful celebrations I've ever attended. The magic of the day was how effortlessly everything seemed to come together. The setting felt like something out of a fairytale, with the sun and moon gracing us with their presence. The next morning, the laughter and storytelling showed that we all shared the same sense of wonder and joy.

Turning dreams into reality
When we envisioned our wedding, we dreamed of a magical celebration in the Cheshire countryside. Swanley Meadows brought that dream to life beyond our wildest expectations. Jen's meticulous attention to detail transformed a simple farm field into a breath-taking venue. If you're searching for a venue that turns dreams into reality, look no further!

The most beautiful venue
My husband and I got married at Swanley Meadows this summer and it could not have been more perfect. We were lucky with the weather and had the ceremony outside under the huge beech tree, which as nature lovers was really special. The tipis were gorgeous and Jenny was amazing from start to finish and went above and beyond to help curate the perfect day for us. We went into the day feeling relaxed, knowing everything was taken care of
Response from the venue
