The classy modern look will impress your family and friends, as well as provide the perfect backdrop for your dream day. No wonder why each year, hundreds of couples tie the knot at this luxurious barn venue.
Why Swancar Farm is the perfect Wedding Venue
Set within 250 acres of land, Swancar Farm is an exclusive use venue that boasts stunning countryside views. It's so pretty here and as a result, there's no shortage of opportunities for stunning wedding photographs.
Located in Trowell, it is within easy reach from the centre of Nottingham and Derby and well served by local motorways.
The venue is licensed for wedding ceremonies of up to 100 seated guests in the upper barn or lower barn. The gorgeous brand new glass barn has a maximum capacity of 80 seated guests. The maximum capacity including evening guests is up to 300 people.
Whilst pets are not allowed inside the venue, it is possible to bring them along and take photos with them outside.
Walking around the grounds, you will soon see why Swancar Farm is such a popular venue. There are so many places to take photos.

There are plenty of photo opportunities both inside and outside the barn
If you are getting married at Swancar Farm then you are in for a treat! There are now two rooms which are licensed for civil ceremonies. A choice of two stunning rooms for you to exchange vows in.
The Upper Barn
The Upper Barn is a light and airy space with high ceilings, exposed beams and plenty of charm. It has been sympathetically converted from an old straw barn and can accommodate up to 100 seated guests.
Imagine walking down the gorgeous aisle to your waiting groom surrounded by your closest family and friends! how exciting would that be? As you can see from the above photo, it is such a romantic place to get married.
The Glass Barn
The brand new glass barn is now also licensed for civil ceremonies. With space for up to 80 seated guests, it's a great option if you are looking for something a little more intimate. The glass barn has quickly become a firm favourite with couples getting married at Swancar Farm.
Not only does the glass barn look fantastic in photos, but it is also flooded with natural light making it the perfect place to exchange your vows.
After your ceremony, the staff can quickly turn this room into an extension of the bar so your guests can relax. It is also ideal for the photograph of everyone if the weather is not great outside. And the balcony from the upper barn affords some unique photo opportunities that I am looking forward to creating!
The space also makes for a great backdrop for a stunning portrait, no matter the weather. As you can see from this photograph taken at Nicola & Steve's wedding. Even when it is really sunny outside, this space is still simply epic!
The food is delicious and can be tailored to your specific needs
The food at Swancar is amazing! You and your guests will not be disappointed. All the food is prepared on site by the talented in-house catering team. The menu can be tailored to your specific needs and dietary requirements.
I highly recommend the canapés! I always end up eating more than I should when I am photographing a wedding at Swancar Farm!

My favourite places for Swancar Farm Wedding Photos
My favourite places to take portraits of the bride and groom are:
The path leading up to Swancar Farm is one of those must have photos. With sweeping views of the Nottinghamshire countryside it's easy to see why practically every Nottingham wedding photographer uses it as one of their first locations.
The next is the Pagoda. Especially in the evening where I can lower the ambient light and create beautiful photos with dramatic skies.
Lastly a hidden gem. If you walk a bit further up to the field, as the last few photos of the day, you can capture some absolutely exquisite sunset photographs.
Of course, the impressive Oak room is perfect for both your wedding breakfast and the partying later in the day! Just look at the magnificant backdrop for your speeches!
Here is a wedding photograph from Leanne & Rachel's wedding. Father of bride nervously giving his speech whilst mum is in the background wiping away a tear. (He probably didn't read my tips on how to give a wedding speech) lol
Later in the evening, the team at Swancar transform the Oak room into a stunning room for your evening reception. Imagine you and your friends all partying here. After your first dance song of course!
And what about a dance with the father of the bride? One day I hope I will be able to do this with my own daughter. Hopefully at a venue as gorgeous as Swancar Farm too. I would cherish such a photo forever.
If you are looking for an exclusive wedding venue for your special day, Swancar Farm should be high on your 'must see' venues.
Swancar Farm Accommodation
There are 11 double bedrooms available in the main house for your guests to stay after a hard night of partying. You also have the opportunity to spend the night before your wedding in their self catering cottage, The Stables. A very popular option for the bride and her entourage.
It means you can wake up and lose no time travelling. Spend more time with your friends, family and the all important getting ready!
