At Maes-y-Neuadd we offer a complete wedding service and tailor your special day to meet your requirements, providing as much or as little help as you want.
We are licensed to hold Civil Ceremonies and can accommodate 30 guests in our smaller more intimate Ystafell Wobryon - Trophy Room, and up to 65 in Swit Harlech - The Harlech Suite.
If you are thinking of a formal Wedding Reception, we can cater for up to 65 in the house, more if you choose to have a buffet, or up to 120 guests in a marquee on the croquet lawn.
For those requiring a smaller, more intimate wedding, we are happy to cater for just the Bride and Groom and would consider it an honour to act as Witnesses. For larger weddings, the whole house and 85 acres of grounds can be at your disposal for exclusive midweek or weekend celebrations, just the day itself or even for only a couple of hours. From just a welcome drink, Ceremony and Champagne Toast to the full works – we are happy to discuss your requirements.
Our unique service and expertise has been appreciated by our Brides and Grooms - and their families and friends too, for over 20 years and many come back to spend their Anniversaries here. There can be no greater accolade than that!
We hope that you will choose to have your special day with us at Maes-y-Neuadd when we will do all we can to ensure that your wedding is a truly special and memorable occasion.
Whatever your dream is – we can help to make it a reality.
Your Perfect Wedding
Whether you choose to marry in Church, Chapel or at Maes-y-Neuadd, when you
arrive at “The Mansion in the Meadow”, our professional and friendly
staff will greet you and your guests with a Reception drink and canapés
giving you time to relax and mingle with your guests. After a reviving sip of
Champagne you may be whisked away to the terrace and gardens, which provide
a spectacular backdrop for photographs – the magnificent peeks of Snowdonia
and the calm waters of Cardigan Bay in the distance. Jane Newman, one
of our recommended photographers, would be delighted to capture the
day for you. For more details, go and visit www.janenewman.co.uk
The Master of Ceremonies might then announce the Wedding Breakfast is served and you join your family and friends in the dining room decorated with fragrant and colourful flowers to match your wedding ensemble . Sit down to enjoy a wonderful three/four or five course meal combining the very best of fresh Welsh produce with the skills of our talented team of chefs lead by Head Chef John Owen Jones and overseen by Chef Patron Peter Jackson. Wines have been carefully selected and are served at the perfect temperature by our attentive Restaurant staff lead by Restaurant Manager, Simon Poyser. Your guests are thrilled by the attention to detail – handmade menus, matching place cards and favours – Romantic Welsh Lovespoons or perhaps miniature boxes of handmade chocolates – all thoughtfully chosen by you.
After the dessert, your Best Man might make his special address to the gathered company and invite you to cut the Wedding Cake displayed on the sideboard. Perhaps speeches from your parents follow and a response from yourselves. Coffee and tea will then be served with sweetmeats and Wedding Cake in the Lounge, Conservatory and Bar.
Whilst you relax and enjoy the company of friends and family, the entertainment is set up for the evening and an hour later you are ready to dance the night away. A truly wonderful day brought to an end with a grand finale of fireworks emblazoned across the sky after which you retire to the deluxe room, Moelwyn, where just the two of you can enjoy your first bottle of Champagne as Mr and Mrs!
This scenario is just one of the options available – whatever your wishes are we will do our utmost to make it possible with the expertise of Lynn Jackson, Director and your personal Wedding Co-ordinator, on hand throughout to ensure that all goes according to plan.
It’s up to you – just give us a call or email to let us know how we can help to make your special day – the best one ever!
