An amazing and perfect venue for anyone looking for a venue for your wedding reception and evening do.
We can't thank Carol enough for the work she and her team put in to make our day special. We felt we had loads of support on the way, stress free and very welcoming to our needs. Myself and my wife would also like to thank Jake who coordinates the day. We felt the service of all staff on the day was very professional and Jake who looked after us very well. We can honestly say that our wedding day was perfect.The Glen-yr-Avon is such a beautiful venue and the grounds are kept so beautiful. Thank you again for making our day so special and we will definitely be returning in the future for our anniversary.
Many thanks

I would like to say thank you to Carol Knight and all of the staff at the Glen Yr Afon House Hotel. My wedding was held at this beautiful setting and the staff couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. Nothing was too much and the whole day ran perfectly from start to finish.
Our guests all commented on how lovely the food was. A lot of them said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I have no doubt that this was largely down to the commitment from the hotel staff.
Please send gratitude from me and my beautiful bride. We will be back for a visit soon.

We had our special day on the 15th June 2019. I had been to the hotel for many occasions such as Christmas time meals, Easter and fathers day so I knew what a lovely venue it was. However from the moment we walked into one of the wedding fayres we knew this was the venue for us. From that point onwards, two years later Carol and her staff have been absolutely amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We asked for a bespoke evening menu which was and has been the talk of our guests ever since. Our compliments to the chef the scotch eggs were to die for!!! The weather didn't seem to be on our side but we were reassured that other plans could be made. Our day was magical and went without a glitch, this was again purely 100% down to the staff and Carol,we didn't have to think about anything. We can't thank them enough for all their efforts in making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives and we would definitely recommend the venue and staff to anyone who wants the wedding of their dreams. Thank you

Me and my husband got married at Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel on 10th August this year and we could not recommend them enough! From the moment we looked around the venue we knew it was the place for us to celebrate the best day of our lives. From our first meeting with Carol, the wedding coordinator, we were highly impressed with how professional and well run the whole service was. Everything always felt in great hands, Carol was fabulous at making us feel comfortable and guiding us through the whole process (we didn’t have a clue ) she was always at the end of an email or phone call to answer our numerous questions that we had over the year, especially the final week leading up to our wedding. Everything always felt like they were in great hands! When the day finally arrived myself and my bridal party stayed in the cottage on the grounds which was extremely clean and comfortable and gave us lots of space for hair and make up... breakfast was brought over in the morning which was a lovely touch! The day progressed seamlessly and we always felt like everything was under control. Sultan who coordinated our wedding on the day was absolutely amazing, like Carol he made us feel at total ease and that everything was under control. Nothing was too much to ask for and he constantly checked in with us to make sure we were happy, we don’t know what we would have done without him! Our initial plan was to have our wedding ceremony outside but unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse. Carol and the team however did an amazing job at ensuring that we had just as much of an amazing experience inside the ballroom. The ballroom looked absolutely stunning and the turn around of the room for the wedding reception was once again absolutely beautiful with our vision being perfect, they just seemed to really listen to what what we wanted. Oh and I haven’t even touched on the food yet! WOW!!! We had melon to start, braised lamb shank and vegetables for main and a trio of chocolate desserts!! Every single guest was raving about this and I’m still getting comments from them talking about how amazing the food was and that it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten now! We then had hog roast for the evening but many people were still so full from lunch!! We are so grateful for all the staff at Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel and everything they did for us to make our day so special. There were so many surprises and small touches that just made our day even more beautiful (I won’t spoil those for other people though ). We definitely made many memories to last us a life time. Xx

We had our happily ever after wedding! on the 28/9/19 and i have nothing but praise for the Glen-yr-Afon, All staff were helpful and kind, carol is amazing at all the planning and organising, sultan was an absolute gem making sure everything run smoothly and to plan on the day, food is out of this world we had many comments on how delicious it was. Many of our Guests just couldn’t believe how the staff can change one room around so quickly and beautifully from the ceremony to wedding breakfast to the night celebrations, they truly are amazing!! And we would highly recommend the Glen-yr-Afon for a wedding venue you definitely won’t be disappointed at all. Look forward to returning for our anniversary.
