Describe the best wedding that happened at Pengenna Manor?
We've had so many! The best weddings are always those that think about all the details and what could bring a real wow-factor (like having gospel singers during the drinks for example), and those that make full use of all the fabulous different areas that we created across our 20 acres of grounds. We particularly enjoy those who have guests camping and glamping for the whole weekend which gives the wedding a great party atmosphere over all three days and the camping meadows really come into their own when you add special touches like a camp fire area and even wood fired hot tubs!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Ask your suppliers for their top tips, help and guidance! We all have so much experience and advice to give to ensure you have the perfect wedding weekend, and might suggest ideas you would have never thought of! Most of us work in the wedding industry because we are creative people.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Ooh that's a tough question, but we love it when couples have live music during their ceremony, drinks reception and dinner, it's adds such a special touch and makes the day so festive.
