Oriel Plas Glyn-Y-Weddw

This dower house was built in 1856/57 for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones Parry of the Madryn Estate. The structure is a superb Victorian Gothic mansion and listed Grade II* by CADW. Plas Glyn-y-Weddw has long been associated with art as it was purpose built to house the widowís own art collection. With its magnificent Jacobean staircase, hammer beam roof and 10 airy gallery spaces, it rightly bears the name Gallery in the Vale of the Widow. Indeed Lady Love Jones Parryís ghost is occasionally seen walking the upper landings.

Weddings

Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is licensed for Civil Wedding Ceremonies. In recent years it has become a very popular matrimonial venue due to its romantic setting.

The gallery also has a full alcohol licence and quality caterers in situ. We can therefore offer a variety of Wedding packages, from ceremony only to ceremony and catering all-day bookings. Please contact the gallery for further details.

At Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, we can cater for your Wedding from ceremony to reception. What finer location in which to get married?

On clear days the backdrop of Cardigan Bay and the mountains of Snowdonia are unrivalled for your special day's photographs. During the autumn months the woodland on the adjacent headland is ablaze with reds, golds and browns and the spring produces a fine display of daffodils.

The grand staircase provides a dramatic backcloth for interior photographs as does the fireplace in the main hall, in which log fires burn on cooler days.

The Wedding Reception
All catering for weddings is done by Caffi'r Oriel, who also manage the Gallery's tea room. The Gallery can accommodate up to 80 people for a sit down meal and 100 for a buffet. All catering costs are to be negotiated with the Gallery and prices vary according to requirements.
