The White Swan Hotel can take board meetings and training days for up to 30 people, company dinners for 70 and standing receptions for 100, with 41 bedrooms upstairs. It stands on Rother Street in the center of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, and is run by Fuller's, the brewer and pub and hotel group.
Seminars and company events
Business bookings use two function rooms side by side, the Capulet Suite and the Montague Suite, named after the two families of Romeo and Juliet. Each works alone for a meeting of up to 30 people, and the two open into one room for a larger session. The Capulet Suite sets up in theatre or classroom style for 30, which suits a training course or a workshop with tables. The combined room seats 70 in theatre style for a presentation or an internal conference. Both rooms have natural light, internet access, an audio system, a projector and a whiteboard, and the Capulet Suite also has a screen. The hotel lists separate offers for business meetings, corporate events and private dining, so a day of meetings can end with a group dinner in the same building. Because delegates can sleep on site, a two-day program for a regional team runs without transfers.
Weddings and receptions
All three room options hold a wedding license, so a civil ceremony and the reception can take place under one roof. A couple can hold the ceremony in one suite and the meal in the other, or use the combined room for both. The combined suite takes up to 81 seated or 100 standing, and either single suite takes 30 seated or 50 standing, a good size for an intimate wedding, a birthday or an anniversary party. Viewings are arranged on weekdays during office hours.
Rooms and capacities
The Capulet Suite holds 30 for a banquet, theatre or classroom layout, and up to 50 standing. The Montague Suite holds 30 for a banquet and up to 50 standing. Together, the Capulet and Montague Suite takes 70 for a banquet or theatre layout, up to 81 seated in total and 100 standing. All the rooms have step-free access and are wheelchair accessible, and children are welcome at private functions.
Accommodation
The hotel has 41 bedrooms in several categories, from classic twins to larger grand doubles, with accessible rooms among them. That is enough to house a wedding party or most of the delegates of a 30-person seminar.
Catering
Food comes from the hotel's own kitchen, which also serves the restaurant. Menus for private dining and events are agreed with the events team before the day.
Getting there
The hotel is on Rother Street, close to the market square and a short walk from the main streets of the town. Stratford-upon-Avon has a railway station with services toward Birmingham and London, and Birmingham Airport is the nearest airport. Organizers should confirm parking arrangements with the hotel before the event.
