Wedding Ceremonies in Derbyshire’s Peak District
Discover romantic woodland wedding ceremonies in Derbyshire’s Peak District.
Your Wedding Ceremony
With nature all around you and a sense of peace and tranquillity, Swinney Wood is the perfect place to say ‘I do’.
Your Ceremony, Your Way
At Swinney Wood, we welcome all couples and all types of ceremonies. Whether you’re planning a legal marriage, civil partnership, blessing, vow renewal, or commitment ceremony, your day is yours to enjoy — in whatever way feels right for you.
Our peaceful woodland setting offers the perfect backdrop for a celebration that’s personal and meaningful to you.
Legal Ceremony Locations
We are fully licensed for legal weddings and civil partnerships. These ceremonies can take place on the balcony or decking of your chosen luxury log cabin — each offering a private setting with beautiful views of the woodland or valley.
If the weather isn’t on your side, you can step inside the log cabin for an intimate inside-outside wedding. With the patio doors open, you’ll still have the breathtaking scenery as the perfect backdrop for your vows, ensuring your ceremony remains beautiful and immersed in nature—whatever the weather.
Symbolic Ceremony Locations
Symbolic ceremonies such as blessings, vow renewals or commitment ceremonies offer the freedom to choose a location that truly speaks to you — even the open field with sweeping views across the valley.
You are also welcome to use any of the legal ceremony locations. With no restrictions, the choice is entirely yours.
Booking Your Ceremony
Once we’ve received your initial enquiry, our Senior Wedding Coordinator, Katy, will be in touch to discuss your preferred dates and the best way to bring your dream wedding to life.
If you’re planning a legal ceremony, Katy will then contact the local registry office to check availability and place a provisional hold on your chosen date. This will be held for 48 hours, giving you time to contact the registrar directly to confirm your ceremony and make payment.
From there, Katy will be with you every step of the way — guiding you through the entire planning process and making sure everything runs smoothly right up to the moment you say “I do.”
If you’re planning a symbolic ceremony instead, Katy will work with you to shape something personal and meaningful, ensuring the moment reflects you both perfectly.
