Nestled on the edge of the River Thames and set within 17 acres of Chilterns countryside, The Swan at Streatley offers an idyllic countryside setting for a wedding. Arrive by boat, marry by the water, enjoy drinks and canapés on the lawn, and celebrate long into the evening.
A country wedding venue near Reading, Oxford, and the Chilterns, The Swan at Streatley is a riverside Berkshire wedding venue with on-site accommodation, indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, and room to celebrate late into the night.
With flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, beautiful on-site accommodation, and a thoughtful, experienced team, every wedding is carefully tailored to reflect you and the day you’ve imagined.
One of the very few wedding venues in the UK where you can arrive by river, making a quietly unforgettable entrance. Glide along the Thames, step ashore, and begin the celebrations with a moment that feels entirely your own, and beautifully photogenic.
Licensed for civil ceremonies, The Lawns sit right on the banks of the Thames, surrounded by greenery and open sky. With space for up to 140 guests, it’s a setting that feels relaxed and natural, yet still unmistakably special.
From sun-filled summer ceremonies to elegant winter celebrations, The Aviary offers a light-filled space with sweeping views across the river and water meadows. A beautiful backdrop for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
No two weddings here are the same. Our experienced team will work closely with you to shape a day that reflects your story, whether that means honouring traditions, blending cultures, or creating something entirely new.
From flowers and photography to hair and make-up, our team can share recommendations from a trusted network of suppliers we know will add something special to your day. You’re equally welcome to bring your own. Either way, we’ll work closely with you to make sure every detail comes together smoothly.
As day becomes night, The Swan offers space for up to 200 guests to join in the celebrations. From the first dance to the last song, it’s an evening designed for good music, raised glasses and a dance floor that stays busy.
Spaces That Flow
From ceremony to drinks, dinner and dancing, The Swan’s spaces are designed to flow naturally from one moment to the next. With flexible layouts and a variety of settings, each part of the day can be shaped around you, without your guests ever feeling rushed.
Whether you choose to marry by the river or indoors at The Swan, or at St Mary’s Church just across the road, the celebrations come together seamlessly.
Food Worth Gathering For
Food and drink sit at the heart of every wedding at The Swan. Our menus are seasonal, generous, and thoughtfully put together, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and relaxed, beautifully executed dishes.
A menu tasting is included as part of your planning journey, giving you time to shape a menu that feels right for you and your guests, from the first glass to the last course.
The Wedding Weekend
Take your time. From a family dinner the night before to a relaxed morning with your guests the day after, The Swan allows your wedding to unfold over a whole weekend, with space to celebrate, unwind and simply be together.
