We recently had our wedding at Gellifawr Woodland Retreat and had the best day. We wanted a relaxed, intimate day and Gellifawr provided just that. Throughout the whole process the co-ordinators and staff were amazing, from our first visit on the showcase, to answering emails and questions we had very promptly, to organising the whole day so beautifully and even after the wedding. The venue was set up exactly how we’d imagined, the food was delicious and the day ran so smoothly. The grounds are stunning and we were fortunate enough to have our ceremony under the trees and our reception under the canopy. The accommodation and the facilities were amazing, with both the salons being particular favourites of ours! We had the most magical day and have since recommended Gellifawr to other brides and grooms to be. A truly amazing experience, thank you! x
I recently attended a friend's wedding at Gellifawr woodland retreat, and it was an enchanting experience from start to finish. The remote location tucked away in nature's embrace added a fairytale-like charm to the entire event, making it feel like a truly special occasion.
The wedding day was nothing short of fantastic. The serene surroundings and lush greenery provided a picturesque backdrop for the ceremony, creating a magical atmosphere that left everyone in awe. The evening celebrations were equally enchanting, with the twinkling lights and cosy ambience of the venue creating a warm and inviting setting for all the festivities.
The staff at Gellifawr were friendly and accommodating throughout the day, ensuring that everything went smoothly. From assisting with the decorations to attending to guests' needs, they were always on hand with a smile, making the day even more enjoyable for everyone.
While the wedding day itself was unforgettable, there were a couple of minor issues that arose during our stay. On the morning after the wedding, we discovered there was no hot water in the cottage we had booked for the night. It was a bit disappointing, especially after paying a considerable amount for the accommodation. When we brought this up with the staff during check-out, they seemed uninterested and didn't offer any assistance or solutions to the problem, which left us feeling a little letdown.
Additionally, the breakfast served the next morning was a full English buffet style. However, the staff only provided one item of each option, which felt limiting and not in line with the cost per night per person. It would have been nicer to have the freedom to choose from a wider variety of items.
Despite these minor hiccups, the overall wedding experience at Gellifawr woodland retreat was brilliant. The magical location, friendly staff (apart from the check-out issue), and love-filled atmosphere created an unforgettable celebration for the newlyweds and all the guests. I will cherish the memories made at this lovely venue and would recommend it to anyone seeking a romantic and secluded wedding destination
Great hidden wedding venue. We were placed in an older part of the little village they have created. The interior is in need of a little tlc but otherwise a wonderful base of operations.
The ceremony room modern but keeping the history of the place. The main complex a wonderful place looked after and very welcoming.
The food was certainly delicious and definitely a rather good portion. Glad we came and thank you.
