Description

It is becoming harder to find a wedding venue that is truly unique – but not impossible. In beautiful North Wales, nestling in the foothills of the Clwydian range, an area of outstanding natural beauty, stands 5 Star Pentre Mawr Country House Just an hour from the metropolises of Manchester and Liverpool and only four hours from the capital. It’s an unlikely place for the most unusual wedding venue – an 18th-century Manor House where you can marry in an authentic African Safari Lodge and then sleep under canvas on your wedding night. Britain’s first country house offering guests the choice of conventional hotel accommodation or spacious lodges that are the last word in comfort. There really is no limit to the kind of wedding day you can create for yourself – and it all begins with your choice of venue. Whatever you choose will no doubt be a reflection of the kind of couple you are – at Pentre Mawr, there is no limitation to your imagination. Here, we’re breaking all the rules! So, it’s your dream to get married in a beautiful walled garden, you can. If a rustic barn is your thing, no problem. Go completely bonkers, how about a genuine African Safari Lodge? If vintage is more you, the elegant manor house provides the perfect setting for an intimate wedding. I know what I’d want if I were you…all of the above but most of all control. So often when you go to wedding venues you get a list of don’ts. That’s the one thing we’re trying to avoid here. Everyone asks us about our bronze, silver and gold packages. We only have one, it’s the perfect package and you choose it.

Here at Pentre Mawr, we do things a little differently. We charge one fee and give you total freedom. So you can bring your own caterer and your own wine with no corkage. We sit in 6 acres of gardens, our stable yard has a fire pit for the evenings and our Secret Walled Garden is ideal for your wedding ceremony. We have two marquees and two super barns to make sure that you have cover on the occasional days it rains in Wales! This year we’ve just build a beautiful white pagoda on the HaHa for totally out door weddings subject to the weather. So you can bring your own caterer and your own wine with no corkage. We’ve got a fantastic Pinterest room with loads of lovely goodies you can use to decorate your marquee. From buntings to bird cages, candelabras to huge martini glasses, lanterns and anything else you can imagine. We also provide a photo wall, so there’s no need to book a photo booth, and we have a fantastic candy cart that you can fill with your favourite sweeties. And the most daft thing of all... a doughnut wall! Our latest purchases are huge LOVE letters and a 5 foot heart so there’s no need to order any of the extras as these are all here for you to use. You two will have a room of your choice for two nights with breakfast. Where possible, we will be happy to offer you a complimentary stay the night after your wedding. (Very occasionally this may not be possible). Many venues close the main house on the wedding day, but we’re always open and it’s your country house for the weekend. As I already said our wedding store is full of all the lovey things you might like to decorate your wedding. In the dance barn the PA system and disco lighting are available to you. So you can choose a DJ, band, or your own playlist if that’s what you’d prefer. We’ll provide buckets of advice and help and most of all mini crises management to whatever level required on the day.

Pentre Mawr: where wedding dreams come true!

After looking at several venues and feeling quite disheartened, we stumbled across Pentre Mawr, and thank goodness we did. From our first phone call with wonderful Nina, meeting with Bre and Graham, to the weekend itself, we were blown away by their generosity, compassion and encouragement, and fell in love with the hidden gem of Pentre Mawr that you'll find hidden away in the beautiful Welsh countryside. The team's knowledge and experience shone through immediately putting us at ease, and we felt that they took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our special day. Accepting a last minute date which brought our wedding plans forward by a year left us with less than 6 months to get everything organised, and to say they went above and beyond to help and advise us is a huge understatement. We ended up booking 2 of their preferred suppliers, who were just as brilliant, and the whole weekend was better than anything we had dared to dream of. The beauty of being able to have the venue exclusively from a Friday to Sunday meant we had quality time with our family and friends (30 staying onsite in the brilliant safari lodges and cottages) and it almost felt like a short holiday rather than one rushed day. The venue also offers a real mix of atmospheres for all, whether it's relaxing in the sunshine, enjoying the stunning views and playing lawn games (provided by the venue!!), or having a ball in the barn with full sound system, lights and dancefloor next to the adjacent bar. Every single thing has been thought of, and the added special touches are the cherry on top of the already wonderful cake! Our guests who stayed on site were particularly impressed with the lovely welcome emails they received before the weekend - a simple gesture, but very much appreciated by all. Just thank you Bre, Graham and Nina. It is hard to put into a short review just how thankful we are, but you fully deserve all the praise you get and more. We will always look back so fondly on our special day at Pentre Mawr and will be sure to visit you again in the future.

Stunning Venue. Superb Hospitality

I'm fortunate enough to photograph weddings at this venue, several times a year and it just keeps getting better and better. Pentre Mawr is a stunning venue in the heart of the North Wales countryside, where you are treated to 360 degrees of beautiful views. Abigail and Andrew were married in June 2024 and we were treated some wonderful conditions. There are so many locations within the grounds of Pentre Mawr offering such a variety of wedding photo opportunities, so it keeps me so so stimulated whilst already being part of someone's special day. Every time that I work at Pentre Mawr I can't help but appreciate the levels of superb hospitality from the owners Bre & Graham and their team. Nothing is too much. They make their guests AND their suppliers feel extra special.

The best kept secret wedding venue of Wales

We had the best wedding day i could ever imagine at Pentre Mawr. Nina the organiser was so helpful and reachable anytime. The owners Bre and Graham were just the most gorgeous couple from the first viewing and genuinely made us feel like family. We could do whatever we wanted at Pentre Mawr and our wedding is still talked about today! I just want to live in Pentre Mawr forever! 🥹

Our favourite venue

We love working at Pentre Mawr, it is a beautiful venue that has a lot of character. The marquee is always beautifully set up, and the range of accommodation available to guests is fantastic. The owners, Bre and Graham are fantastic hosts and allow couples to have their dream day. Nina is also fantastic, and always happy to answer any questions we have regarding the details of each wedding. I'd give them 6 stars if I could, you couldn't ask for any more really.

The most wonderful venue!

Pentre Mawr is a beautiful venue and nothing is too much trouble for the gorgeous owners and staff! I love that you can arrange your own catering and there is plenty of room for family and friends to stay over. It is definitely a 10 out of 10 venue and I highly recommend it and love being there!

We would recommend this venue to everyone

Wow, I can’t even begin to explain how incredible Pentre Mawr Country House was for our wedding last week. From start to finish we were overwhelmed with the kindness and organisation from the team. Bre, Graham, Nina and the rest of the gang went above and beyond to ensure our day was as special as it could be. And we had the best weekend of our lives and wouldn’t change a thing. It also helps that every aspect of the venue is absolutely beautiful and carries its own charm! We were able to have our dogs with us throughout the whole weekend which just added to the whole experience. We wish we could rewind the clock and do it all over again! Bre and Graham are very experienced in the hospitality industry and it definitely shows - no request is too much. We would recommend this venue to everyone, it’s not just one day at Pentre Mawr, it’s a whole weekend and a lifetime of amazing memories. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts x

Our wedding weekend was just how we imagined and more!

As soon as we saw Pentre Mawr Wedding Venue, we knew it was the venue for us! We fell in love with how unique, different and beautiful it is. Our wedding weekend was just how we imagined and more! A wedding weekend we had been dreaming of and more. If only we could replay the whole weekend again, it went so quick! At Pentre Mawr couples have the luxury of spreading out their wedding over a couple of days, from the Friday to the Sunday! That for us was just perfect. Graham, Bre and Nina were so helpful and accommodating with all the questions and visits during the planning stages. It was so important to us to have an exclusive wedding venue, a venue with just us and our wedding guests there and no other guests. Pentre Mawr was just that it was perfect, it had lots of different areas that our guests could relax in and enjoy. In addition, having a wedding we could make our own was equally important. A venue we could choose our own wedding suppliers, decorations and entertainment. A venue that welcomed children and dogs too. Our day was perfect, full of love and laughter with family and friends. A day we will all always remember forever. Thank you Graham, Bre and Nina at Pentre Mawr Wedding Venue. Lots of Love Chris, Em, Liv, Ffion (and Bubble the dog).
