Funerals give the opportunity to celebrate someones life who has recently passed away. We offer warm and respectful funeral receptions, where family and friends can get together to share memories and raise a glass to their loved one.
Alexandra House is a warm and welcoming venue based in Swindon. We have hosted many successful funeral wakes and family celebrations. Our dedicated event coordinators will go above and beyond to ensure that the planning stages of the reception are as stressfree as possible. We have a number of different function rooms available with the capacity for small, intimate wakes as well as larger funeral receptions.
Our celebration of life venue is located just a few miles from Swindon City Centre and has close access to the M4. Swindon train station is also nearby, so wherever guests are travelling from, our venue is easily accessible for all.
We understand that privacy is a necessary requirement for funeral receptions. That’s why we have a number of different private dining rooms available for hire. Our Wroughton Suite can seat up to 120 guests, with our largest room, the Alexandra Suite seating up to 150 guests. Each of these rooms can also be partitioned into smaller rooms of 50 for a more intimate celebration of life.
We have an onsite bar available for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. You can order a few bottles of Champagne for the toast and our servers will be more than happy to assist with this. We also have space in our function rooms for a book of condolences and our rooms are also installed with all the latest technology if you would like a slideshow of images and memories running in the background.
We offer a celebration of life afternoon tea, so you and your guests can stay nourished throughout.
