When it comes to finding a wedding venue that blends rustic charm, natural beauty, and the freedom to truly personalise your day, Swanley Meadows – Tipi Weddings & Events stands out as one of Cheshire’s most unique and enchanting choices. Located in the peaceful countryside near Congleton, this venue offers an idyllic escape from the bustle of city life while still being accessible for guests travelling from further afield.
From the moment you arrive at Swanley Meadows, you’re greeted by the breathtaking sight of its spacious tipis set against rolling fields and a backdrop of wildflowers. The air feels calm and unhurried — the perfect mood setter for a celebration that’s all about love, laughter, and personal touches.
Why Swanley Meadows is a Perfect Wedding Venue
1. A Ceremony Space Like No OtherWhile many couples dream of saying “I do” in the open air, few venues can offer a setting as magical as the 200-year-old beech tree at Swanley Meadows. This natural canopy creates an unforgettable ceremony location — shaded in summer, dramatic in photographs, and utterly romantic. And if the weather isn’t on your side, the tipis are spacious enough to hold your ceremony indoors without losing any of the atmosphere.
2. Rustic Luxury Meets Modern ComfortSwanley Meadows describes itself with five words: Rustic, Luxury, Secluded, Personal, Magic — and they deliver on every one. The tipis have a warm, intimate feel, with fairy lights, natural wood accents, and plenty of space for dining, dancing, and relaxing. Despite the rural location, the facilities are modern, comfortable, and perfectly maintained, making sure guests feel cared for from start to finish.
3. Complete Flexibility & Exclusive UseThis is not a “one size fits all” venue. Whether you want a boho-inspired celebration, a traditional sit-down meal, or an all-out festival wedding, Swanley Meadows gives you the flexibility to make it happen. You can choose your own caterers — from fine dining to hog roasts — and even bring your own alcohol without corkage fees. With exclusive use, you won’t be sharing your special day with another wedding, meaning you have the grounds, the views, and the magic all to yourselves.
4. Exceptional ServiceOne thing that shines through in every review is the dedication of the Swanley Meadows team, led by owner Jenny. Couples repeatedly praise her attention to detail, organisation, and genuine care in making sure the day is stress-free and seamless. Whether it’s creating a relaxed atmosphere or managing last-minute changes, Jenny and her team go above and beyond to ensure every couple feels special.
