Set in the heart of the New Forest, The Manor at Sway is a beautifully restored Edwardian country house offering an elegant yet relaxed setting for weddings that feel personal and warm. Surrounded by sweeping lawns, mature trees and peaceful woodland, this boutique hotel provides a wonderful balance of refined interiors and natural outdoor space.
Licensed for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies, The Manor at Sway offers a choice of romantic settings for your vows. The Drawing Room is a standout space for indoor ceremonies, featuring polished wooden floors, original plasterwork, elegant patterned wallpaper and a grand bay window that fills the room with natural light. For couples dreaming of an outdoor celebration, the garden lawn provides a tranquil backdrop for alfresco ceremonies, drinks receptions or marquee events.
Wedding breakfasts can be hosted for up to 60 guests inside the house, while a marquee allows for larger celebrations of up to 90 guests for evening receptions. Guests can enjoy drinks on the terrace before moving into the dining room and bar for dining, dancing and evening entertainment. Exclusive hire is available, giving couples and their guests full use of the house, gardens and communal spaces.
Food sits at the heart of every wedding here. The in-house culinary team creates bespoke menus inspired by the flavours of the New Forest, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Options range from classic three-course wedding breakfasts to relaxed sharing feasts, elegant canapes or afternoon tea-style celebrations. The bar offers a carefully curated selection of wines, spirits, beers and signature cocktails to complement the occasion.
With 15 individually designed bedrooms sleeping up to 34 guests, on-site parking and a dedicated, independent team offering attentive service, The Manor at Sway is a refined yet flexible wedding venue ideal for couples seeking a countryside celebration with character and charm.
