The Ceremony

Civil Ceremonies at the Sweeney

Two of our reception rooms at The Sweeney are licensed as wedding venues (The Netherton and The Conference Room) allowing you to choose which room suits your needs depending upon the number of guests you have invited to your wedding.

We only hold one wedding ceremony per day at The Sweeney, this means you will have our undivided attention to ensure your day is as perfect as you planned.

A civil ceremony can be personalised to you, having a friend or family member read a poem, your chosen music in the form of CD or a musician such as a harpist, all adding to the enjoyment of your special day. Our team has lots of experience planning civil ceremonies and will be happy to provide guidance on what works well for such occasions.
