The whole day went without fault and was not only perfect to myself and Neil but also for all of our guests. We can not begin to thank you enough for all the work you did in helping make our day happen. All your recommendations (photographer, florist, fireworks company etc etc) were all amazing. Andy and Gill were just fantastic, we never noticed them there but were as much a part of our wedding as all our guests. And they are so lovely!! The flowers were beautiful and added that little bit of magic to the already beautiful rooms at Swinton Park. And the fireworks really were the icing on the cake!! I also can't say enough about your team there. All the staff were fantastic, so polite and kind. They were always in the background - never seen but always there when they were needed. Everything we required was always provided for without question or stress. So please on our behalf say a huge thank you to them all from us!! And lastly, none of it would have been possible without you! You were just amazing and we are both so pleased that you were there to share our special day and see all your hard work in action. Throughout the entire process you have been wonderful, taking us novices through step by step and making the whole thing easy. It just couldn't have gone any smoother on the day and to be honest this was one thing that both myself an Neil were never worried about. We knew it would all be perfect and that is solely down to you, so thank you!! November 2011 (one night exclusive use wedding)
.We thought Swinton Park was a perfect setting and a lovely place for the wedding. Throughout the day the service and support we were given all helped to make the day memorable and one we will look back on with such happiness for a long time. We thought the ceremony with the Registrar was perfectly done. Everything was wonderful! The food you provided was delicious and so well prepared, from the canape's to the wedding breakfast meal itself and lastly those marvellous bacon sandwiches! It was all so well done. The staff we met were unfailingly friendly and helpful and we would really appreciate it if you would pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. November 2011 (Nearest & Dearest)
We would like to say a massive thank you to Swinton Park, and in particular yourself for such a lovely day. Everything far exceeded our expectations and our guests had nothing but praise for your staff and venue. We hope the flowers found their way to you, as they were again, a massive thank you for all the assistance you have given us over the past year or so, and your patience in what must have appeared to be daily badgering via Email. All that is left, is for me to save up now to book the Tower Suite again for our anniversary next year! August 2011 (2 night exclusive wedding)
''Swinton Park is a truly wonderful venue. It is every girls dream to have a fairy tale wedding and your hotel really helped us to achieve this. I cannot give praise enough to the staff that made sure that everything was perfect from start to finish, even the young chap who brought me breakfast on the morning of my wedding demonstrated superb customer service skills, something which is very hard to find these days. Could you please pass my thanks onto Hannah who for the past 12 months worked with my husband and I to ensure our perfect day. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Hannah, a truly professional person who not only seems to work extremely hard but genuinely enjoys her role (something else which is very hard to come by these days). Swinton Park is very lucky to have her, please don't ever let this wonderful person go. A big thank you to Eric the Toastmaster also. My husband and I were able to sit back and enjoy the day knowing that everything was taken care of with Eric on the case. I would also like to comment on the superb standard of the food. I have yet to come across a wedding breakfast with such a high quality of excellence when catering for a large amount of people. Swinton Park certainly delivered in this area. One last thing I would like to mention is the small personal touches that made the day a really magical experience. All our guests commented on the high standard of the rooms and the small personal touches such as lip balm on the beds and the soft music playing when finally retreating to the rooms, not to mention the complimentary Gin & Whiskey which went down extremely well. Our only regret is that we cannot repeat this experience but we will most certainly return for our anniversary and any other special events your amazing hotel holds. My husband and I are now ready to go off on a much deserved honeymoon. Thank you for everything. '' August 2011 (1 night exclusive wedding)
. '' Ann and I would like to thank you and all your colleagues at Swinton Park for making Matthew and Gillian's wedding so enjoyable and memorable. All our guests were very impressed with not only Swinton Park and the grounds, but with the staff as well. They all had a very enjoyable day and evening '' Parents of Groom - June 2011 (Nearest & Dearest Package)
'' We just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect. Everything seemed to go like clockwork and are so grateful to all the staff at Swinton Park, particularly you, Eric and Yara who made it all just happen '' Jane & Ian - July 2011 (1 night Exclusive wedding)
'' We just want to thank you for an absolutely outstanding day - we had a better time than we imagined possible and all of our family and friends have been raving about it ever since. I also wanted to say how touched we were to receive the beautiful picture of Swinton from you and your team. We love it and it is something we can treasure for years to come. We will certainly be returning to Swinton in the years that follow - a birthday treat or anniversary - any excuse we can find really. Anyway - thanks again for a truly memorable day at a stunning venue! Everything went like clockwork - a credit to you and the team. And a special mention to the canadian lady running the bar (apologies because the ladies name escapes me). She was standout for me - fantastic manner, very friendly and hospitable - everyone thought she was brilliant '' Denise & James - May 2011
'' We had a super time at Swinton Park thank you. Our room (Whitby) was lovely, the food in was superb and the attitude, interest, attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service demonstrated by you and your staff was of the highest standard. Such high standards reassuring us that our wedding day is in safe hands! I did have the pleasure to meet the general manager on a couple of occasions -- I would be grateful if you could pass on my compliments to him also '' Kevan & Annemarie - Pre wedding stay - April 2011
‘We simply cannot thank you enough for your help in arranging the
wedding. When we were looking for a venue, Victoria & I visited literally
dozens of places, but it was our impression of you personally, your professionalism
& clear dedication, which persuaded us to choose Swinton Park, and
our intuition certainly paid off. The whole event, from the moment we
arrived, could not have gone better and so much is down to you. We all
appreciate this so much’

‘The wedding day & everything connected with it was total
perfection – the bacon butties went down a storm’

‘It was the attention to detail that really set Swinton apart
from other wedding venues we’ve experienced, from the waitresses
learning the childrens names, to the pastry chef coming out onto the garden
pm Friday & creating bespoke puddings for our guests, everyone was
amazed’

‘We also wanted to pass on our thanks to you, Andy & the rest
of your team for making our wedding day so wonderful, you always filled
me with confidence and on the day your team did not disappoint. It was
a faultless performance’

‘The appeal to us was that it’s a hotel that doesn’t
feel like a hotel but, more importantly, despite the grandeur its an incredibly
relaxing place. In our experience its rare to get a top class venue with
such a relaxed feel. This is entirely down to the staff; Swintons real
strength. All the staff, without exception, managed to strike a balance
between being professional, friendly and informal, and yet provide superb
service. We came with high expectations. We were always aware of the danger
that we’d built the weekend up beforehand into something that couldn’t
be matched, but we needn’t have worried. From beginning to end the
weekend exceeded our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble; all we
had to do was ask, and in the majority of cases we didn’t even have
to do that’

‘Hannah, what can we say!! Absolutely perfect, well done! Everyone
had a great time, in particular Craig & myself, and without exception
the boys. All our guests, as we do, wish to pass on their thanks to the
staff who were wonderful and there was never anything too much trouble’
