The Setting
An exclusive estate, nestled on the borders of Montgomeryshire and Shropshire and surrounded by five acres of beautifully kept grounds, captures the sheer elegance of the Welsh countryside with its historic gardens and expansive lawns.
Season by season, the landscape around the hall transforms, offering a unique backdrop for your wedding. Imposing Cedar of Lebanon trees and vibrant borders frame your memories in natural beauty, whether in the height of summer or amongst the rich tones of autumn. The grounds are a photographer’s dream, providing endless opportunities for breathtaking photos, idyllic outdoor ceremonies, and leisurely receptions.
When you choose Garthmyl Hall for your wedding, it gives you exclusive use of the hall and grounds, meaning you and your guests are free to slow down, settle in, and make the most of the picturesque surroundings.
The Vibe
Garthmyl Hall provides the flexibility to host a ceremony that perfectly reflects your personal taste and wedding vision. At the heart of their ethos is a passion for offering an exclusive, one-of-a-kind wedding experience where no two weddings are the same. Whether for an intimate wedding with 30 guests or a big celebration with 150 guests, the venue is committed to ensuring that your special day is tailored to your desires.
With a choice of places to exchange your vows, you can seal the deal with a kiss in the Walled Garden, where you’ll be surrounded by seasonal blooms and natural beauty, or inside the Ballroom, where sophistication and charm are part of the architecture. Prefer an indoor setting with a twist? The Orangery awaits, blending botanical vibes with a hint of rustic elegance. As a licensed venue, Garthmyl Hall proudly hosts both civil and humanist weddings on-site, allowing for a seamless blend of contemporary design and personal significance. For those inclined towards tradition with a touch of charm, churches in nearby Berriew and Montgomery provide the perfect backdrop.
The estate offers picturesque photo opportunities, from the Walled Garden to the wildflower meadow, ensuring every joyful moment is captured against a backdrop of beauty. Winter and wet weather options are just as inviting; ask about the Gentleman’s Bar, Living Room, and the Orangery as backup options for your peace of mind. Imagine roaring fires, whiskey, red wine, starry nights, pretty winter florals and the chance of snow!
For your wedding breakfast, Garthmyl Hall is partnered with four of the finest caterers in the field: Comyn Bruce, Tallulah & Co, Paisley Flour, and Wild Garlic. Each is eager to work with you to create a menu that perfectly complements your special day. They each bring a unique flair to the table, offering an extensive variety of culinary delights that emphasise seasonal dishes and local produce.
Whether you choose the grandeur of the Marquee, the classic beauty of the Ballroom, the natural splendour of al fresco dining, or the unique charm of the Orangery, each setting is designed to complement your tastes, theme, and guest number. Here, amidst toasts and speeches, surrounded by those you hold dear, every element is curated to create memories that linger long after the last (delicious!) course is served.
The Marquee, capable of hosting up to 200 guests, is the epicentre of your evening. It’s the ideal spot for everyone to gather and celebrate, inviting you to dance the night away. Considering an outfit change? This is the moment for it. Step into something with sparkles, sequins or feathers to fully embrace the revelry ahead.
With a live band or DJ setting the soundtrack, or perhaps a playlist you’ve carefully curated yourself, the music will carry you and your guests into the early hours. When it’s finally time to wind down, the Cellar Bar offers a cosy spot for a final nightcap before retiring to one of the luxurious guest bedrooms.
Offering a flexible corkage option which allows you to bring along your favourite bottles to share with guests. This experience is brought to life across the three unique bar areas. The Gentleman’s Bar, with its proximity to the Ballroom and Marquee, offers a refined setting for classic elegance. The Cellar Bar, known for its lively atmosphere, provides a dynamic backdrop to impress and entertain. Lastly, the Orangery Bar is the ideal choice for an airy, outdoor drinks reception, ensuring every moment of your celebration, wherever you are, is catered to with sophistication and style.
A selection of on-site accommodation options include the Hall itself, a variety of charming cottages in the Stables, and the Boathouse, which together can host up to 50 guests for two or more nights. Although different in style, they each echo the eclectic elegance of Garthmyl Hall.
The Hall, a perfect blend of house and hotel, features ten luxury en-suite bedrooms which can accommodate 23 guests across double rooms and a family room. Each space is infused with unique character and adorned with handpicked furnishings, local chocolates, and Molton Brown toiletries, ensuring a stay that’s as indulgent as it is comfortable.
For additional guests, the beautifully converted Stables and stunning Boathouse offer luxurious retreats for couples and families alike. Though these are optional extras and aren’t included in the venue hire cost, they complement the Hall’s accommodations perfectly, making every guest’s stay a memorable part of your wedding celebration.
