People are at the very heart of our business, and what we do. Our mantra is 'Hospitality From The Heart', and it encompasses our values perfectly, and we celebrate that, especially when it comes to Weddings & ceremonies. Our team are dedicated to you and your Wedding Day, and everything leading up to it. The Garden Room at The Swan Hotel, Wells is licensed for ceremonies up to 80 people. This light and airy room with its open glass doors lends itself beautifully to civil wedding ceremonies and opens out onto our secluded Walled Garden.

Once the ceremony is complete, The Ivory suite can extend to hosting 140 guests, for you to celebrate into the night. At the very front of our hotel, The Swan Terrace provides a unique opportunity to capture Wells Cathedral as a stunning backdrop, making for picturesque scenery, which is a photographers dream. Retire to our stunning Cathedral Suite after you've celebrated your hearts out, offering unrivaled panoramic views of Wells Cathedral.
