Testimonials

From the moment we visited Garthmyl Hall we instantly knew this was where we were going to get married, everything about it is absolutely stunning.

We honestly can’t fault the help and support we had from Heather leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. We wanted a relaxed, fun day that was tailored to us and that is exactly what we got! The whole day ran so smoothly and that was all credit to Heather and the team. We know there must have been so much hard work behind the scenes but it was made to look so easy and effortless. Also, thank you to Holly, Laurie and all of the other staff who looked after us all weekend too!

We have had so many lovely comments from our guests about how amazing the venue is, from the setting, the accomodation, the amazing interiors, to all of the staff- it made for the perfect weekend!

Thank you so much Heather and Julia, we had the best time!

If we could rate higher than 5 stars we would. Garthmyl Hall is an absolutely exceptional wedding venue, the whole process from arranging our initial viewing to the actual weekend was flawless.
All of our guests commented on the stunning location, decor and the amazing staff. Heather, who we met on our initial viewing and dealt with all the way through to our wedding, was incredible throughout the whole process and ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day. From helping to set up on the Friday to clearing down on the Sunday Heather was on hand to help where needed and we cannot thank her enough for making our weekend amazing - truly a credit to the industry.
From arrival on the Friday it is clear that the hall go above and beyond to make your weekend special. A special mention to Holly and Laurie on the bar who looked after us on the Friday and Saturday - both so lovely and attentive!
Best weekend ever!!

I literally don’t know where to begin with thanking you. Words are just not enough for the AMAZING service you give. Everyone was blown away with the venue, they couldn’t believe how stunning it was. And my dreams came true of being married outside, I mean how perfect was the weather, the flowers, the music the walled garden was just magical.

Heather you are an absolute star, your attention to detail, your care and thoughtfulness made the whole event so easy. I would also like you to pass on my thanks to Andy who cooked the BBQ, I know we mentioned this but just to say again we had so many compliments about how great the bbq food was. And I would also like you to pass on my thanks to your bar staff who were so polite, helpful and just brilliant.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special.  I can not rave about Garthmyl Hall enough!! I am so sad its all over and I envy the wedding party turning up today and going into MY honeymoon suite and getting married tomorrow!

No superlatives are sufficient in describing the professionalism and perfection of Garthmyl Hall for a wedding. Despite 2 Covid cancellations, Garthmyl Hall remained flexible and focused throughout the planning. Despite a change of Planner in the process, the new planner, Heather, embraced our specific-needs and quickly built our trust. Heather is the perfect combination of efficiency, calming demeanour and personality. Everything, from the outstanding venue, the support you receive, to the attention to detail, to the cooperation of all the team, Garthmyl is just the perfect wedding venue.

What can we say...you will not find a better wedding venue than Garthmyl Hall!!

We first met Julia in 2020, and were welcomed with tea & coffee in front of a roaring fire to discuss what we wanted from our wedding weekend. Instantly we were blown away by Julia's friendly and relaxed approach, and her attention to detail didn't lapse at any point. We booked the hall immediately! Even on a chilly wet October day, the venue and grounds were simply stunning. Each room is decorated beautifully, the walled garden really takes your breath away, and the additional accommodation of the Stables is so convenient!

We got married here in June 2022, and I would like to thank Julia for all her help on the build up to our special weekend. She was only ever a text away and always readily available with a solution.

Luckily, we hired Garthmyl Hall from Friday to Monday and having the extra night was so worth it - it really felt like home from home and gave us a chance to properly relax with our friends & family. The wedding day was over in a flash, so enjoying a brunch and BBQ on the Sunday was perfect. Julia was faultless throughout the weekend and nothing was too much trouble including helping alter a bridesmaid dress an hour before the wedding (yes, really!!) and helping get marks out of my dress. She was very professional and attentive without being over the top, and she really made us feel relaxed! By the end of the weekend we felt like we'd gained a friend.

A huge shout out to Garthmyl's staff too - from being welcomed with fizz upon arrival, to cocktail making all evening, and serving us the most beautiful food & drink, they couldn't do enough to help us. They worked tirelessly all weekend but never let the late night show - they were always friendly, smiley and accommodating. They really help make Garthmyl Hall the special venue it is.

If you're looking for an exclusive hire venue with the best team ever, and incredible grounds for amazing photos and memories that will last a lifetime...you must book Garthmyl Hall!

Ps. Julia we miss you!!

I might be biased in commenting that our wedding was one of dreams, but it really was magical, and it was all made possible by Heather, Julia and the amazing team they have at Garthmyl.

A 5 star review for this place just isn’t enough. The hall, accommodation & grounds are truly beautiful.

Heathers help, support and attention to detail throughout our wedding preparation and on the day was what every bride hopes for. Nothing was too much to ask, and every element was undertaken seamlessly.

The whole teams friendly attitude just makes you want them to join your wedding party as guests - yes they’re that lovely!

Special shout out to Andy, the incredible bbq and breakfast chef, the food was perfection.

Also a shout out to Darren who made our pre wedding outside bbq set up possible, even when weather wasn’t on our side!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Garthmyl enough, each and every one of the team will always be part of our special memories.

It's hard to put into words just how incredible Julia and her team were throughout all of the planning and entire weekend of our wedding in May this year. This review won't do it justice but we'll try!

From the minute we went to visit Garthmyl Hall we knew it was the right venue for us. We knew we wanted a venue where loads of our friends and family could stay for the weekend, everyone would feel at home and we had flexibility to choose the suppliers we wanted. Garthmyl Hall offers all of this with their stunning accommodation - all of the rooms in the main hall are gorgeous with en suite bathrooms and individually decorated, and the stables accommodation is just beautiful. All of the downstairs rooms in the hall are designed gorgeously and the grounds are incredible.

Julia was always on hand in the planning of the wedding, helping to avert any crisis, answering any random questions and can recommend so many amazing suppliers or you can choose your own - for local suppliers we used Tipples for table and crockery hire, Pheasant Botanica for flowers, ESL for lighting and speakers, Pedal and Push for pizzas, Helena Restall makeup and Tallulah's for catering - and we would recommend all of them a million times over, as well as all the suppliers that travelled slightly further afield for us!

We had a pizza night on the Friday (provided by Pedal and Push - also thoroughly recommend!!) with big firepits and the summerhouse bar open for drinks for everyone staying in the hall and stables. Such an amazing night to get excited with everyone and catch up with people the night before the big day. On the morning of the wedding I got ready with the bridesmaids and my mum and mother in law in the bridal suite and there was more than enough room for 7 of us plus videographer, photographer, 2 hair stylists and a makeup artist. I felt so calm getting ready on the morning of the wedding, knowing Julia and her amazing team were coordinating everything behind the scenes and I didn't have to worry about a thing - we also had a stylist (One Splendid Day) who did all of the styling of the ballroom and marquee etc - very much recommend doing this/seeing if your florist will provide this service for tables. It is worth every penny of the extra cost for you to be able to relax and enjoy. the weekend with your friends and family and not having to worry about setting up anything! The rest of our family had a breakfast in the dining room provided by Garthmyl Hall and the staff brought us up bacon sandwiches and orange juice/coffees while we were getting ready.

Before my husband/groomsmen/dads etc left for the church they met in the bar and had a pint and put on their buttonholes. We got married at the church in Berriew which is a 5 minutes drive from the hall and is a beautiful church with a gorgeous church yard.

We had our reception drinks in the walled garden/on the back lawn, followed by our meal in the marquee - we were so lucky with the weather and had all of the sides open which was just gorgeous. After the meal Julia and her team turned the marquee around for the evening while our guests went outside for cocktails around the firepits. We used the ballroom as a lounge area with the Garthmyl Hall sofas and Geoff the Giraffe (had to be done), a photobooth corner and a cheese table. We had the band and DJ set up in the marquee with the dance floor laid out by the hall which worked perfectly. The staff were amazing all day of the wedding moving flowers around to make sure they were still used beautifully, making sure there was enough wine on the tables, toast glasses topped up and if there was any crisis I can't say we heard about it or if we did there was already a solution so we didn't need to worry. Holly even gave two of my friends a lift back to their hotel at 3 in the morning when they had no idea of the time all night and totally missed their taxi lol. (Legend - we love you Holly.)

On Sunday morning the hall set up the marquee again for a buffet brunch, again making use of the flowers from the weekend which were gorgeous. We then had a chilled day and BBQ in the evening with friends and family - some who weren't staying with us still came back for it too. The food was INCREDIBLE - best bbq we'd ever eaten and SO MANY TYPES OF CHICKEN KEBAB. Andy is the BBQ king. It started to rain so we moved into the marquee, then optimistically moved outside to the firepits again for a singsong, to then be forced into the summerhouse due to downpours. We stayed in the summerhouse until midnight singing and dancing then moved to the ballroom where we had another party until 3am - the hall is so big that no one who went to bed earlier even realised we were up so late! The staff were amazing the whole time, running the bar, putting out our leftover cheeseboard from the wedding then helping us move it all in to the ballroom and leaving us to it when it was time for them to go home.

If you want the kind of wedding where you can make it truly your own, feeling like you've just got all of your friends and family together at a big house for an EPIC weekend with the most attentive, fun and chilled out staff, then Garthmyl Hall is the place for you. Even if everyone has to travel and stay in the area like our friends and family did for it, they will all say it was worth it. Julia, and all of the staff at Garthmyl hall we cannot thank you enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You are absolutely incredible and deserve a million awards for how you run your weddings and events. We wish we could do our wedding all over again and would pick you all to run it for us all over again.

Where do we even begin?!

As soon as we visited Garthmyl Hall, we instantly fell in love with its charm. The beautiful setting and gardens make it hard to believe that you’re not abroad! Every corner of the hall has been carefully designed. The decor is classic with modern touches, and every detail is perfect. We’ve had so many positive comments from guests with many saying it’s the best wedding venue they’ve ever been to! If you choose to hire the Stables for additional accommodation, you won’t be disappointed. Just like the hall, the rooms are faultless and Julia’s creativity and interior design have given them so much character.

You can hire Garthmyl Hall for the entire weekend, arriving on the Friday afternoon before the wedding and leaving on the Sunday afternoon. Everyone tells you how fast time flies on your wedding day, so you really want to make the most of it and this was a huge deciding factor for us when considering our wedding venue. Being able to spend extra time with our closest family and friends the night before the wedding and having a debrief over breakfast the next day was so special, and part of what makes Garthmyl Hall so unique!

Our first wedding date was booked in April 2020, but due to the pandemic we had to make the heartbreaking decision to postpone. I can’t explain how incredible Julia and the team were throughout the pandemic and the countless rearrangements we had to make. We finally had our special day (fourth time lucky!) on 26th February 2022, and we will never forget the kindness that was shown to us during uncertain times. We heard so many horror stories from friends getting married and the struggles they’d faced with their venues during the pandemic, and I could honestly cry just thinking about how supportive Julia and the team have been towards us, especially when they were also facing their own challenges in the wedding industry.

When our wedding day finally came around, the day was so chilled and relaxed and it felt like home. Everyone at Garthmyl Hall felt like part of the family, making us feel so welcome and going above and beyond to make the day special. From the countless cups of tea for the Grandparents, to ensuring the log baskets were always stocked up, every little detail was thought of and nothing was too much trouble! Special shout out to Het, Rhi, Andy and Alistair - total legends!

Thank you for making our day well and truly worth the wait! We feel so privileged to have been able to spend our wedding weekend at Garthmyl Hall surrounded by such incredible people, and we can’t wait to come back and visit soon! Thank you for everything!

Exceeded All Expectations

We cannot begin to say how happy we are that we chose Garthmyl Hall for our wedding, we had the best, most perfect day and would whole heartedly recommend this venue to any couple starting out on their wedding journey. Can’t do it justice- the staff, the setting, overall vibe and the flexibility are completely unparalleled!

Julia and the staff

Due to the pandemic, planning was filled with more uncertainty than we’d anticipated and we did end up needing to postpone - Julia (all round Wonder Woman who owns and runs Garthmyl) was so accommodating and supportive through the whole process, providing so much reassurance and keeping us positive all on top of making fab suggestions for the day and helping us navigate the wedding logistics-we are so grateful.

When our weekend finally arrived we all felt so looked after from start to finish - Julia and co. (Big shout out to Andy) had such amazing energy- everything felt so warm,relaxed and personal. Everyone was on top of everything from setting up the marquee , keeping the prosecco flowing, ensuring we had some time to ourselves and shepherding rogue guests on the day, it all ran so smoothly meaning we could just concentrate on having the best day ever.

Food and drinks

Will keep this bit short but can confirm that Garthmyl 100% nails a BBQ (we had one the night before), hungover brunch and can mix cocktails on par with any we’ve had! And we have been to many a bar ????????‍??

As the venue isn’t tied to any particular caterer you can bring in who best suits you - we used Tallulah who we met at one of Garthmyl’s open days and she is AMAZING.

The venue

The hall and grounds are just next level stunning.
Both the main house and stables are an interior design fan’s dream. Julia has managed maintain the grandeur of the original building whilst bringing an elegant modern twist. All the guests were totally blown away and I’m so happy that we were able to make use of all the different spaces over the course of the weekend.

The historic gardens are gorgeous- we were lucky enough to get married in the walled garden and it’s like a movie set - felt so special and as a bride - I guarantee you won’t find a more dramatic and beautiful entrance than walking through the door to the pergola!

Again , will say that we can’t recommend Garthmyl Hall enough. Wish we could do it all over again and can’t wait to visit.

Thankyou Julia and team - you’ve created something incredible xxx

Our whole experience with Garthmyl was absolute perfection. From booking with Julia, to working with Polly throughout the planning process, and getting to know Andy and other members of the team during our wedding weekend, all I can say is a HUGE thank you for the most amazing weekend that we'll never ever forget. The Hall itself is so unique. The rooms are truly luxurious and the Stables and Ty Bachs are finished to the highest standards. Most of our suppliers were booked through recommendations from the Garthmyl Hall team and everything really came together to give us the most perfect wedding weekend. If you're reading this because you're thinking of booking, 1. I am so happy for you as your wedding will be incredible and 2. I'm SO jealous that you still get to do it and mine is over! The venue really is everything you could hope for and more. Thank you Garthmyl Hall! xxxxx

WOW!! What a fantastic place!! I recently got married at the gorgeous Garthmyl Hall, and I don't think there has ever been a more stress free weekend! The Hall is extremely well run. The team have great expertise, they are super friendly and you are given the freedom to create the wedding of your dreams.
We got married in the Walled Garden (it and the rest of the grounds are so beautiful) there were also two alternative indoor rooms to get married incase of rain.
We would recommend Garthmyl to everyone! Absolutely Magical Venue!

Finding our wedding venue was a lot harder than we ever imagined. After becoming pretty obsessed and completely overwhelmed with venue search websites and visiting a LOT of venues all over the UK, we found they were all either too ‘weddingy’ - stuffy, old fashioned, too many rules… or they were dry hire and too DIY, and it was draining and not fun at all. We knew what we didn’t want but found it so hard to find what we did want. Somewhere cool and relaxed, somewhere we could take over for the whole weekend and somewhere our mates and family could stay on site. It didn’t feel like it should be this hard but it really was… It’s a bit like buying a house, we were absolutely exhausted by it.

Then we found Garthmyl Hall and we got a really good feeling about it, but even then we were still unsure… was Garthmyl a bit too fancy for us, was it cool enough blah blah. But what sold Garthmyl to us was three things: 1) the basement bar (now AKA The Rave Cave), 2) the walled garden and most importantly 3) the absolute legend that is Julia Pugh who owns and manages the venue (as well as designing and furnishing the whole place, planning everyones weddings and basically being two steps ahead of everyone and everything, always). And it was hands down the best decision we ever made.

As soon as we met Julia, we felt like we’d known her for years and through the whole planning process she was just fantastic. Nothing was ever a problem, she had suggestions and solutions for everything. We wanted to get married on the Saturday, and then have everyone back on the Sunday for a BBQ (which ended up turning into a mini festival), and Garthmyl accommodated us without question.

We arrived on Friday and stayed until Monday (when there were actual tears from Julia not wanting us to leave!). Our family stayed in the brand new Stables cottages, designed and furnished by Julia - honestly we were all blown away by the standard of the accommodation, they were absolutely stunning with beautiful design touches and brilliantly spacious. (lots of our guests stayed in the log cabins a mile down the road at Penllwyn lodges which we would highly recommend booking in advance!)

We had such a fun day setting up, then we’d arranged with Julia to have dinner in the Summerhouse with close family and bridal party. The summerhouse was our favourite room when we first saw the venue, and we weren’t sure how we were going to make use of it. Dinner in here was the perfect way to start the weekend, when the sun went down it honestly felt like we were on the Italian Riviera or something, with grape vines creeping through the windows, it was just magical.

Our bridal party stayed in the main house with us, and everyone was just blown away by their rooms. Each one is unique and designed beautifully. The honeymoon suite is spectacular with a separate dressing room (perfect for dress reveal!), and an incredible sunken bathroom with freestanding bath overlooking the courtyard and summerhouse. Getting ready on the day with my girls felt so special.

We were lucky enough to get married in the garden and one moment I will never forget is walking into the walled garden with my Dad. It’s just the most breathtaking sight. Walking through the door is like going into The Secret Garden, it’s absolutely magical, the grounds are beyond stunning.

The day was an absolute breeze, with drinks and tunes in the Summerhouse and on the lawn, through to dinner and speeches in the marquee, more drinks and DJ in the ballroom… it all ran so smoothly, we didn’t have to think about a thing and that’s all down to the excellent organisation from Julia and her brilliant team. Chairs were moved from the garden to the marquee, poseur tables moved from the summer house to the ballroom, drinks flowed all day… it all just happened without a thought as Garthmyl were all over it.

The night ended in the basement bar which we’d kept a secret and turned into The Rave Cave… we set up DJ decks, opened the bar and it basically became our own little club. Everyone loved it, including Julia and Polly who were partying down there with the best of us.

A HUGE shout out to Andy, Julia’s uncle, who is a massive part of Garthmyl Hall. The poor guy had put his back out just before we arrived and was absolutely gutted, but was still there cooking the breakfast, moving chairs and making sure everything was running smoothly all weekend. Thank you Andy, you are a wonderful human and a true gent.

Sunday started with a delicious and well needed cooked breakfast for everyone in the house, and bloody mary’s before everyone came back for round two. We had ‘Sequin Sunday’ which basically turned into a mini festival, and again the day just flowed without a hitch. Our caterers did a BBQ out in the garden which went down brilliantly. We moved tables from the marquee out onto the lawn and had a bar open in the summerhouse all day. The lovely bar staff were always two steps ahead and the prosecco flowed all day. A second night down in the Rave Cave brought an end the most incredible weekend of our lives, without a shadow of a doubt.

We wish we could do it all over again. Our guests were in awe, as were we, of the venue, the grounds, the garden, the staff… absolutely everything about this venue is perfect, and so much fun. If you’re considering Garthmyl, my advice to you would be just book it. You won’t regret it.

Thank you Julia, Polly and Andy for an unforgettable weekend. See you down the Rave Cave next year….

Amy & Tim xxxxxxx

I don't know if I could ever truly express how much of a dream venue this is!! As soon as I saw the pictures online I knew this was the venue for us & Off we went to meet Julia the owner & within seconds of being there we knew it was the one , it was the first and only venue we visited.

You get the venue over three days , which is instrumental in creating this home from home vibe were you and your family/friends can truly enjoy each others company & as a bride it gives you the chance to set up everything you could need to the day before & prepare what you need too, although Julia Polly Andy & team pretty much took care of everything for us , as I did the wedding planning myself with my mum I absolutely loved being able to go the day before the wedding and be part of the preparations and setting up.
Julia and her team manages to give you all the support you need but allows you to be totally free in designing the wedding of your dreams to your taste.

Garthmyl is expertly designed by Julia, she has THE MOST incredible eye for style every single room is beyond beautiful & individual , its so grand yet so homely at the same time & the bedrooms are TO DIE FOR , the honeymoon suite is what dreams are made of & the grounds are impeccable , the walled garden is magical!

Nothing was too much to ask for Julia & Polly they were always at the other end of the phone/email to help with any queries that I had . They had such big smiles, wonderful hugs and genuine care for myself & my husband , Julia even stepping in the help him put his flower pin on & Polly stopping at tesco for us to get us 10 baguettes on the wedding morning . They are two fantastic woman who helped make our dream wedding run without a hitch , a thank you to Andy the caretaker who helped setup our speakers & microphones & all the other staff members who were so professional.

We used Tallulahs catering for our wedding meal & it was FANTASTIC!!!! We met her at one of Garthmyls open days & couldn't be more pleased that we went for her, we went for a day to night package which was brilliant.

I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough, I could cry thinking about how amazing it all was & I cannot wait to go back again. It is truly magical there & not just the interior & exterior , but the concept & the vibe of everything there is next level special!

Married in April 2019 -x-

I’m not really sure where to start. Having worked at Garthmyl Hall doing marketing and design work for several years, there wasn’t anywhere else that I could even consider getting married. I was slightly apprehensive though because working behind the scenes at the hall it was hard to imagine how I could switch off from work mode and really enjoy the experience from a bride’s perspective. I needn’t have worried - Julia was amazing!. After months of planning, dreaming and looking forward to the big day – it arrived, and boy was it a day to remember!! If I was to sum everything up in one word it would be – PERFECT! Everything was perfect. I saw the hall as if I was seeing it for the first time. Every room is flawless but it feels homely and welcoming at the same time. We had our ceremony in the Ballroom and we were able to decorate it to fit in with our theme – ivy and twinkly lights everywhere! The bedrooms are just beautiful, especially the Honeymoon suite – I feel so luckily to have finally stayed in that room (I even got to have a bath in their infamous en–suite!). Despite getting married in November the weather held so we got to have our photos outside, and even got to have some in the stunning Walled Garden which I really had my fingers crossed for!

'When we got engaged in September 2017, the hunt for our dream wedding venue was on. We came across Garthmyl Hall online and arranged a visit straight away.

A 3.5 hour journey from London was worth every minute and we immediately fell in love with the hall, grounds and views of Wales. This was the only venue we visited and decided we didn’t need to see anything else so booked our wedding date for September 2018.

All of the rooms at Garthmyl Hall are so beautifully decorated, all with vintage touches but incredibly modern. There are hidden treasures throughout, including the walled garden, summer house and the cellar bar- when we saw this we knew it would be the perfect place for drinks with our guests.

When our wedding weekend arrived, we couldn’t have imagined such a warm welcome from Julia, Andy and the team. They were on hand to help us with with everything from setting up the marquee. Nothing was too much to ask and we are so grateful for this.

The wedding day itself could not have gone any more perfectly, Julia and team again were amazing, making sure everything went to plan. The guests were completely wowed by Garthmyl hall and it’s beauty.

Our immediate family and the bridal party stayed with us at the venue for the weekend and all of them LOVED it just as much as we did. The breakfast the morning after the wedding was very tasty and a great time for us to share stories of the day before. It really was great having somewhere where our nearest and dearest could stay with us.

It was the most magical day, one we will remember forever and we can’t wait to go back and visit.

Thank you to Julia and the team. We love Garthmyl Hall.'

No words can explain how perfect Garthmyl Hall is, but I’ll try. 

From the second I saw it on Coco wedding venues’ website, I knew it was the only place I wanted to visit, and the only place I wanted to get married. From the very first contact with Julia - the owner and absolutel heart and soul of the place - I knew we were in good hands. She was kind enough to return my enquiry call on her day off to let me know the date we wanted was available and that she’d hold it for us. 

Our initial visit confirmed everything I’d gathered from the gorgeous and informative website- the venue was STUNNING. Well styled and decorated, clean, unique, every last detail catered for and looked after. Julia’s vision and drive is absolutely spot on. Her friendliness (and fashion sense!) bowled us over. We booked immediately and practically skipped home.

In the lead up, every single email, query, pondering - no matter how big or small - was responded to helpfully and quickly. Julia really does have it sussed and she’s an absolute star at what she does.
The weekend itself is one I just want to relive and relive over and over. I honestly cannot stress enough how perfect it was, from the welcome hug on the driveway with a genuinely excited Julia, the light up welcome sign with our names in it, and the freedom to just run around exploring like excited children at a their first sleepover without feeling like we were in someone else’s home- it truly felt like it was ours and we loved that feeling. 

Julia dove right in, helping us to unload our van, and then taking on anything we asked of her, even the boring confetti cone filling, whilst chattering away with our wedding party about all sorts of randomness. What I hadn’t realised was just how attentive she was, and how much she’d made notes on for helping with the things that needed doing on the Saturday itself. I had complete and utter trust and faith in her and the lovely, lovely team to carry out every last little thing that I had zero control of on the next morning- and they absolutely delivered. 
The night before, we had the most lovely evening with friends who came to Garthmyl for tea, and again, just felt like it was ours we were welcoming them to. Not once did we feel like we couldn’t do something we wanted to for fear of overstepping rules of the venue, like some places can make you feel. 

The day itself- perfection personified. We had the wedding of dreams, and the day we’d dreamed of in the most beautiful, breathtaking venue ever. Julia was there the whole time and felt more like a bridesmaid than anything else- she was just so on hand with getting things done and giving cuddles and kisses when she popped in to see me! Nothing was too much trouble. Nothing wasn’t already thought of or done already. We had the best day in the whole world with the team providing the friendliest and most efficient service that only added to our wedding. 

Breakfast the next day was delicious, and again the lovely staff at the Hall were on hand to cater for everyone and their needs.

The only part I would fault would be saying goodbye. Packing your wedding up after so much anticipation and excitement is utterly crap, but saying goodbye to someone you genuinely adore and wish you could stay friends with forever is just as hard! I heart Julia 4evs.

Garthmyl Hall will forever be the most special place for us, with special souls inside who I hope one day we will see for a hug on the driveway once more!
