Weddings & Private Room Hire at The Swan Hotel Southwold
Southwold’s magical atmosphere and The Swan Hotels impeccable style make an ideal combination for all sorts of occasions and celebrations – from family meals and meetings to weddings.
Weddings in Suffolk
A 17th century wedding portrait of a local heiress in her silk clad elegance greets all our guests on arrival at The Swan. There are many areas in the hotel suitable for taking wedding pictures – the garden, with the lighthouse and a vibrant array of flowers and plants as a backdrop, is a favourite location for many couples. During the summer this area is also perfect for a drinks reception.
Winter brides may prefer our magnificent Drawing Room with its fine furniture and open fire.
The emphasis at The Swan has always been on fine food, wine and exceptional service. Should you wish to talk to our chef or members of the Adnams wine team to ensure every detail is perfect for you, they’ll be happy to help. We want to tailor-make an experience you will remember for years to come.
