Arrive by boat, exchange vows by the water, mingle over drinks on the lawn, party the night away, and wander back to your rooms in the early hours. Weddings at The Swan or The Great House are designed entirely around you.
Weddings at The Swan at Streatley and The Great House, two riverside country wedding venues near Reading, Berkshire, set on the River Thames, with on-site accommodation and beautifully relaxed settings.
With flexible indoor and outdoor spaces at both venues, beautiful on-site accommodation, and a thoughtful, experienced team, every wedding is carefully tailored to reflect you and the day you’ve imagined.
Both of our hotels are part of a very small circle of 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. Licensed for up to 140 at The Swan, and 100 at The Great House, it’s a setting that feels relaxed and natural, yet still unmistakably special.
From sun-filled summer ceremonies to elegant winter celebrations, both venues offers a light-filled indoor space with sweeping views across the river. 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, both The Swan and The Great House 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.
