Exclusive Use Woodland Weddings at Swinney Wood
Privacy, Peace, and a Place That’s Completely Yours
For many couples, a wedding is not just about the ceremony but about creating an experience that feels entirely personal. At Swinney Wood, that dream becomes reality. Tucked away in private woodland above the Derwent Valley, it offers the rare opportunity to enjoy your wedding with no distractions, no onlookers, and no other guests. For those searching for an exclusive use wedding venue in Derbyshire, Swinney Wood is a hidden gem where privacy and romance come first.
The “Completely Yours” Package
The most luxurious of Swinney Wood’s offerings, the Completely Yours package ensures that the entire woodland is reserved just for you. For £6,995, couples can expect:
- Complete exclusivity of Swinney Wood, with no other guests on site
- A three-night stay from Friday or four-night stay from Monday in all four luxury log cabins
- Accommodation for up to six adult guests in additional cabins
- A dedicated wedding coordinator to guide you from your first enquiry to the moment you say “I do”
- Your choice of ceremony location, from balconies with sweeping views to intimate woodland clearings
- Witnesses provided by the Swinney Wood team if required
- A complimentary bottle of champagne to begin your celebrations
This package provides everything you need for a wedding that is both relaxed and unforgettable, with the freedom to enjoy the woodland exactly as you wish.
A Ceremony Surrounded by Nature
With exclusive use comes freedom. Couples can exchange vows beneath ancient trees, on a private cabin deck with the valley unfolding below, or even in the open field with panoramic views. Should the weather change, ceremonies can be seamlessly moved indoors, where wide doors open to let the woodland remain part of the moment.
Every ceremony at Swinney Wood is crafted to reflect the couple at its heart. Whether you are planning a legal marriage, civil partnership, vow renewal, or blessing, the woodland offers a setting that feels deeply personal.
Accommodation with a Difference
Unlike many venues, Swinney Wood offers overnight accommodation for up to six guests in its luxury log cabins. Each cabin has been hand-scribed from Western Red Cedar and finished with high-spec interiors — four-poster beds, freestanding baths, and wood-burning stoves. Private hot tubs add a final touch of indulgence, ensuring that your wedding feels like both a celebration and a retreat.
Thoughtful Support from Start to Finish
Exclusive use also means exclusive support. Every wedding is guided by Katy, the senior coordinator from Olivine Weddings. With years of experience and a trusted network of local suppliers, she ensures that each couple’s vision is brought to life. From florists and photographers to private chefs and stylists, her little black book is filled with professionals who know how to make woodland weddings shine.
Her role is to remove stress and create calm, so you can focus on the joy of your day while every detail unfolds seamlessly.
Flexibility for Families and Pets
While Swinney Wood is usually an adults-only, pet-free setting, the Completely Yours package offers a little flexibility. With prior agreement, couples may bring their children to the ceremony (though not for overnight stays), and even arrange for their dog to be present briefly for photographs. These small touches ensure that your celebration can reflect your family as well as your love.
Why Exclusive Use Matters
Choosing an exclusive use wedding venue in Derbyshire means creating a bubble of time and space where the focus is entirely on you. There are no strangers to navigate, no competing events, and no interruptions. Instead, you are free to enjoy your ceremony, your guests, and the woodland around you without compromise.
It is this sense of seclusion and intimacy, paired with Swinney Wood’s luxury interiors and thoughtful service, that makes the Completely Yours package truly special.
