Your South Wales Wedding - Page number 9 - July/August 2021 (Issue 80)

NEW AND IMPROVED Bryngarw House, an exclusive-use wedding venue, has unveiled plans to transform its overnight guest accommodation. The property, located in the heart of 100 acres of award-winning parkland, typically welcomes 6,000 wedding guests each year. Cardiff-based designers Momentum have been appointed to design the interior spaces, which will be inspired by the changing colours of Bryngarw Country Park, and sympathetic to the building’s architecture and strong Welsh heritage. Rich colours, textures, patterns, prints and accessories, together with a mix of materials including natural wood, wool, slate, exposed stone and antique metals, will be used to create a luxurious setting for guests to relax and enjoy. The chief executive of Awen Trading Limited, Richard Hughes, tells us: “Our vision is to develop Bryngarw House, a venue with an impressive history, as a luxury Welsh brand and high-end destination for the wedding market, whilst diversifying the business for conferences, weekend retreats and special occasion events. This, in turn, will boost the venue’s impact within the local community and create new and sustainable employment opportunities within the hospitality and tourism industries which have been among the worst affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Through our refurbishment plans, we will celebrate the beautiful surroundings, promote the language, culture, and offer the very best from local suppliers.” To find out more, visit www.bryngarwhouse.com OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW The Hilton Garden Inn Snowdonia is set in the stunning Conwy Valley within Adventure Parc Snowdonia.
