4 My Recommendations for your Wedding Celebrations are as follows: The day before Any guests arriving the day before could enjoy a Cotswold Cream Tea in one of our snug lounges on arrival. Guests could then make use of our Garden spa and try a relaxing treatment or perhaps a country walk or fishing. Later on a delicious dinner could be organised in the Old Swan for immediate family and afterwards guests could retire to the Minstrels Gallery for drinks before spending the night in their luxurious rooms in the Minster Mill. Your wedding day Your outdoor ceremony will take place in our Garden Temple, situated in 65 acres of wash meadows and weeping willows. If the weather is inclement your ceremony will take place in either The Barn, The Oak Room or the Lovell Room, depending on the size of your Wedding Party. Following your ceremony, guests will walk through the beautiful gardens and alongside the River to the Minster Lounge where they will receive a glass of Prosecco, Pimms or Champagne and a selection of canapés. This high beamed lounge opens out onto the River Terrace, leading out to the Meadows. The Meadows offer deck chairs, giant chess and croquet, making them ideal for exploring to find the perfect photo opportunity for both the Bride & Groom and your guests! Your three or five course Wedding Breakfast will be served in either the Minster Room, The Log Room or the Lovell Room. Guests will enjoy half a bottle of wine per person during the Wedding Breakfast and a glass of Prosecco or Champagne to follow for your Speeches & Toast. Later on guests can enjoy an evening of dancing and music in the Malthouse. This is a private building which overlooks the River and wildflower meadows. Guests can enjoy music and drinks until midnight and we can also organise an evening buffet such as Sausage or Bacon Butties with Potato Wedges for later on in the evening. Alternatively, for a more informal cosy celebration, The Minstrels Gallery is complete with a private bar, a snooker table and games for you and your guests to enjoy. At midnight guests will retire to their luxurious bedrooms in the Old Swan or Minster Mill. The day after Guests can wake leisurely on the following morning and enjoy a wonderful breakfast in the Old Swan. We also organise a Rose planting, where you can both plant a Rose of your choice in the 65 acres of gardens at the Old Swan & Minster Mill.
