Exclusive Wedding Venue

Exclusively yours, Swanbourne House provides a flexible setting to create the wedding you have always dreamed of. Welcome your guests with a glass of champagne in the Dining Room, or if the weather is fine, on the lawns overlooking the rolling hills of Buckinghamshire.
Couples looking for an intimate ceremony can say ‘I Do’ in the calming Common Room, with a capacity of 50 guests, this really is an intimate venue that leaves a big impression.
