The White Swan Hotel, Stratford

We had our Wedding at The White Swan on 5th April 2025. The day was perfect and both me and my wife can honestly say it was the best day of our lives. The White Swan was a beautiful backdrop to an amazing and special day and all of the staff were so helpful, kind and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We had a smaller guest list than the typical wedding but this was not a problem at any stage of the process and on the day, though there was only about 20 people, the space still felt full of love. As a queer couple, we were somewhat anxious about finding the right venue for us, but we didn’t need to worry at all, The White Swan were so amazing and respectful. Prior to the wedding, we had filled out a wedding plan that was provided by The White Swan and met with them several times to go through the plan. My wife is very particular and went into a lot of detail on the planning form, this meant that on the day, everything was sorted and carried out perfectly so that we didn’t need to worry about anything. The catering was fantastic and they were able to accommodate for Gluten free and Vegan diets as well as generally fussy eaters. All of our guests have since remarked on how well fed they were throughout the day. The venue itself is a beautiful old building that was the perfect setting with lots of places to take amazing photographs. Gemma, who was our wedding coordinator at the venue, was particularly fantastic, from bringing us complimentary champagne in the morning to always being on hand throughout the day. I would definitely recommend The White Swan as a wedding venue, particularly to those with a smaller guest list than the traditional wedding. Honestly, we can’t thank the team at The White Swan enough for making sure the most special day of our lives was perfect. -Mx and Mrs Picken

Great hotel right in the centre of Stratford. Lovely clean rooms, friendly staff and gluten free options on the menu.
