    Glyngynwydd wedding barn review

    We had our wedding at Glyngynwydd wedding barn this summer and we would highly recommend it as a venue! The cost is very reasonable, Carla is excellent at communication (both in the lead up to and on the weekend of the wedding), the venue is beautiful and you can personalise it however you like!

    Absolutely Everything You Could Want In A Venue

    If you are looking for a beautiful venue that will allow all your wedding dreams and ideas to become a reality then Glyngynwydd really is your place. Our wedding at Glyngynwydd truly was magical. This is a picturesque, breath-taking venue with space for friends and family to stay (for the WHOLE weekend) with a warm, helpful and friendly host Carla who will be with you to help, answer questions and be on hand from the moment you book your date, to the moment you leave the site. We honestly cannot recommend this place enough, we don't think we could have got married anywhere else.

    Thanks again Carla, you are amazing!

    Amazing! Couldn't wish for more

    I’ve always dreamt of getting married at this venue and when my dream came true it was all I’d ever wanted and more!!
    The venue is so so beautiful and rustic, you don’t need much of your own decoration to make the place look amazing. Carla is always on hand to help and answer any questions but then also gives you space to do your own thing!
    We managed to get married in the forest and it was so perfect! Wish we could go back and do it all again 🥹

    Magical Venue

    From the moment we left the road and entered this hidden gem we knew that this venue would be the perfect place to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends,the date would be immaterial we wanted to be married here. The location ,size,open space,on site accommodation and communal areas allow all your guests to feel that they are on holiday,but veery much at home. Carla is beyond helpful and no question is unanswered,during the wedding day Carla is the ultimost host to ensure your day runs smoothly,her experience is priceless. We couldn't have wished for a better place a better day to have our wedding.

    The loveliest, wildest venue.

    The flexibility to have your day your way at Glyngynwydd is insane, Carla said to us, the only rules are "Don't burn the place down!". It gave us so much scope to share our personalities in our day on a timeline that suited us without the constraints other venues place on you with lots of opportunity to DIY thanks to the venue hire lasting for the whole weekend. We let Carla know when all of our deliveries/collections were happening in the lead-up and days after, and she kindly coordinated delivery drivers and ensured the right people picked up the right things. The other reason we chose the venue is because its only half an hour from our home and the scenery, the woods, the fields, the old barns put on such a beautiful display of typical Welsh countryside that was such a delight to share with our guests travelling from all over the UK. Even in the rain, there are so many spaces to use indoors and half indoors/half outdoors, allowing you to make the most of any breaks in the cloud. The accommodation options are also fabulous if you have people travelling with several cottages onsite and glamping pods; each of our pod campers teamed up with a cottage to share their facilities, so whilst there were a few first-time glampers, they certainly haven't been put off.

    We got married at Glyngynwydd on Saturday and it was bloody fantastic!!!!

    I do not have a single negative comment about the venue or Carla, the lovely owner.

    From start to end Carla was supportive, helpful, understanding and answered all my questions no matter how trivial!

    The cottages are beautiful and well equipped, plus warm, cosy and comfortable.

    We used the Pods on site and everyone who stated in them said how warm and comfy they were, and loved the little pod area.

    One of our guests brought along a mobile home and was made to feel just as welcome!

    The stables area as a communal space was fantastic and had everything we needed including a log fire for the rainy cold day after the wedding.

    The new honeymoon suite.is wonderfully decorated, the shower is brilliant and the bed super comfy! So much so we took a picture of the name of the mattress!

    The venue itself is STUNNING! The barn is beautiful, the fields and scenery are a perfect example of how beautiful Wales is.

    I would highly recommend Glyngynwydd. Our wedding there was PERFECT.

    Thank you Carla xx

    Intimate and special

    We used glyngynwydd wedding barn for our wedding and what a absolutely amazing place. Couldn’t have asked for more. The cottages are beautifully set up. Carla is absolutely amazing and supportive in every way. The indoor and outdoor ceremony set ups are beautifully presented and then you can add your personal touch. Has amazing knowledge and helped every step of the way. Would 100% recommend especially for that intimate touch

    Simply wow!

    Glyngynwydd wedding barn is the place to go to make all your wedding dreams come true! Set against beautiful rolling hills, with woodland and even a little stream on site you have the most amazing backdrop for a wedding. Not only that but you are able to plan the weekend exactly how you want it from decorations, to games, to suppliers, to on site accommodation and beyond. We're not traditional in anyway so to have found a place where we could bring to life our colourful, chaotic, joyous wedding was magical and we are so grateful to Carla for letting us do what we wanted. You only have to look at the venue's instagram to see how versatile it can be and how every couple have gone with something different and unique to them. Carla is a wonderful host always responding quickly to any questions we had, allowing us to visit the venue multiple times to take measurements etc. and even being on hand on the day rounding up our guests to make their way to the ceremony. She's just a lovely human and has created the perfect setting for an unforgettable day.

    Magical and breathtaking

    Wow just wow. In 2021 we viewed the venue and immediately booked it for our June 2023 wedding. The planning stage, well this is where you can get a real feel for a supplier. Are they responsive? Are they helpful? Informative? Carla is that and more! Emails responded to promptly and we were grateful for the amount of times she let us revisit so we could look at lay out and plan our day. On the weekend of our wedding Carla was never far away, greeting people, answering questions, Helping with set up and there for anything we needed.
    We had a bbq on the Friday, the wedding on the Saturday and breakfast on the Sunday, really made the most of the weekend. 6 weeks on and our guests are still commenting, “how did you find that place” “wow what a venue” “your wedding was the best we have ever been to” and our favourite comment from guests “we want to do it again” that’s usually what you hear from a bride and groom but we have guests saying that!

    We married in the woods, sun shining through the trees, cotton pollen floating gently was absolutely stunning, One of my guests said it felt so beautiful that she felt she was in an actual fairytale setting. If you’re looking for a venue completely bespoke to you, with no hidden costs and a wedding you can plan to match exactly how you dream, this is the place for you. I’d relive our wedding weekend every weekend if I could. Carla, the venue, the beauty of it all, you won’t regret it.
