Weddings at Bryn Howel
We realise that you will want this special day to provide you with a memorable experience of a lifetime, so we spare no effort to meet your individual requirements. Whatever your budget or requirements we are here to provide a special day just for you.
Unlike most hotels we do not cater for weddings on a production line basis, absolutely everything is planned in detail with you to ensure that your day is tailor-made just for you. Unlike the majority of other hotels we do not add extras on top of goods or services supplied by outside companies, eg. flowers, table decorations, entertainment, etc. so you can have a wedding day in a magnificent country home for the same cost as an ordinary venue.
We can cater for small intimate wedding breakfasts through to sumptuous banquets for up to two hundred and fifty guests, as well as being able to offer a variety of rooms in which to hold your actual wedding ceremony.
We hold a marriage licence so if you wish, you could also hold the civil marriage at Bryn Howel. It is our desire to turn your dream of a perfect wedding day into reality. Please feel free to visit the hotel to have a look around and to discuss your requirements.
We promise to turn your special day into the experience of a lifetime and exceed your expectations.
Our private owners are David & Stephanie Booth who live locally and after a life-time in business decided they wanted to bring high standards of service and food to hotels and restaurants in North Wales. Having private owners makes a big difference as the personal touches and significant investment in the hotel demonstrates.

Me and Mrs Jones, would like to say well done, our wedding reception was a huge success and what a lovely surprise it was playing 'our song' without anybody even requesting it, how thoughtful, first class meal and what a view!
