What our couples have to say…
“It did not take us long to decide Swallowfield Vineyards was the place we wanted to get married. The entire property is fantastic and you will be spoiled for choice with the location of the ceremony and photos.”

“If there was the option for more stars, I would give them. We honestly had the best day imaginable and it was largely thanks to Phil & the team at Swallowfield. No question was silly, no request for help was too big. We were so relaxed and looked after on our wedding day it was absolute perfection”.
- Caity Alexander
