The must have venue of 2025!

Mary and the team went above and beyond for my fairytale twilight themed wedding. Fairy lights and candles.
Mary honestly pulled out all the stops and did everything she could to make the day fabulous. She saw my vision instantly and executed it perfectly.

The enthusiasm and excitement she and the team had really showed throughout the day and it was perfect.

The venue was picture perfect and all booked out just for me and my guests. I fell in love with the place and didn't bother looking anywhere else. I booked on the day.

The food is exquisite and plated beautifully.
The grounds are kept and provided the perfect photo shoot.

If I could do it all again I would and would not change a thing.

Thank you Bron eifion. Sophie and Dylan

 Events Manager Lauren, Mary and the team absolutely couldn’t have done anymore to make our day perfect. From the first meeting to packing up and leaving the next day I cannot thank them enough. I don’t plan on getting married again, but anytime we have an excuse to be back we absolutely will. There are no words to describe how grateful both Aled and I are for what you gave us, memories that will last a lifetime!

My daughter's wedding

We recently went to our daughter's wedding at the Bron Eifion Country House Hotel in Criccieth, North Wales. I could not rate them higher but they deserve 6 stars. Extremely well run, seamless. The ceremony, food and staff were exceptional in a fantastic house and grounds. Well presented, clean rooms with sympathetic design for such a beautiful house. Any bride ( and groom) would be proud to have married there.

First Class!

Lauren, Mary and the team at Bron Eifion are absolutely amazing. We had our wedding there last Friday and it was the most magical day.

All the staff are so friendly and helpful, the day ran seamlessly. All my family and friends were so impressed with how organised and professional the team were, ensuring that everything went to plan.

The food was incredible too, our compliments to the chef!

The venue itself, is just stunning, inside is so ornate there is beauty around every corner and outside, the gardens are incredible, there are so many places to have amazing photos taken come rain or shine.

If you thinking of booking Bron Eifion for your wedding do it, you will not be disappointed!

The perfect location

This is the perfect place to get married. The staff go above and beyond to help you. Mary and Lauren are true professionals in wedding planning. 
The venue is perfect particularly if you have children at the wedding. They are free to run around the grounds outside without yo hun having to worry. This place is also incredible value for money. The food is exceptional.
We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding. Thank you so much.

Most fabulous venue ever!

I cannot thank Lauren, Mary and the team at Bron Eifion enough. We had our wedding there just over a week ago and it was the most fabulous day. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, all our guests are saying how much of a fabulous time they had and how gorgeous the venue was. Even down to the view you have. Nothing was too much to for the team and they were always on hand to help.

If you are looking for a venue to have your wedding then I would highly recommend Bron Eifion.

Thank you Lauren, Mary and the team.

Every little detail matters
From the moment we walked in and met Mary & Lauren we knew we wanted to get married there. It is a family run business so every little detail mattered to them! They went above and
beyond with every aspect! I really struggled to visualise how I could dress the venue, so Mary did it all for me without charging the earth purely because she wanted it to look amazing too and
it was just beautiful! We also have a son with allergies, who was catered for, nothing was too much trouble. They have beautiful grounds which are well kept so our wedding pictures are
stunning. I can't recommend this place enough.

Everything we could of wished for!
What a wedding weekend! 
Our dream for our wedding was to have a place where people parked their cars and enjoyed the whole weekend. We managed to book August Bank Holiday at Bron Eifion which is 2 hours from our home and spent the whole weekend celebrating with 100 of our friends and family. The venue is so personal, grand and modern all at the same time. It is set in the most beautiful surroundings which our guests loved exploring over the weekend stay. (With
guests returning to Criccieth again this year for holidays)

Mary, Lauren and the team at Bron Eifion accomadated all my requests and if it wasn't practical we worked together to find a solution. I had singing waiters, dancing groomsmen and an ibiza dj to name a few but nothing was
to much trouble. On the day the ladies made sure everything ran smoothly and the dedication and commitment to making our day perfect never went unnoticed. One thing we loved was we never felt ripped off by Mary. So many venues we looked at was throwing crazy prices for every little thing but with Mary you felt the value for your money and never felt pressure or that she was constantly upselling. She was very honest and fair with everything.
Our Wedding day was everything we wanted and every guest enjoyed every minute. 8 months on and people are still saying to me how much they loved the wedding. We want to thank Mary, Lauren and everybody at Bron Eifion. You made our wedding perfect and your beautiful venue will always hold a such special memories for us.
If you are considering a wedding here, go and view it, book it... you won't be disappointed!

Outstanding, couldn’t be better.
My whole day was magical. The venue was perfect. The team were outstanding.
The food, entertainment, flowers and special touches made our special day the best that
it could be.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue and package to others and we will be
returning every year, as guests in the hotel, on our anniversary.
Thank you for making our day so lovely and for welcoming our guests so warmly.

The best day at the most incredible venue
Writing this review on our one year wedding anniversary - we got married at Bron Eifion
on 6th May 2023 and it was just the best day!
We looked at so many venues in north wales, but as soon as we arrived at Bron Eifion
we knew it was the one!
Lauren and the team were absolutely amazing in the lead up to the wedding and on the
day, I didn’t worry about anything and felt so chilled and happy the whole time which is
amazing for me, I’m usually quite an anxious person! Lauren is just the loveliest!
The venue itself is stunning, from the sea views to the gorgeous grounds, and we loved
the decor too!
People still tell us how much they loved our wedding and the location - most stayed over
for a weekend getaway and headed to the local beaches the following day (we were
lucky and had sunny weather that weekend!) and lots have been back since for another
holiday.
It was truly the best day at the most special venue in a gorgeous location, with such a
kind and caring people looking after you - I can’t recommend this place enough!

For everyone who came to celebrate our wedding with us and those of you that have seen the pictures, I'm sure you'll agree that Bron Eifion looked absolutely amazing.  From the minute we visited Bron Eifion as a prospective venue, Mary Lauren and their team treated us like royalty. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I stayed over the night before and from the minute I checked in it felt like home. In the morning from the moment I woke up I was given everything I needed and made to feel so special. Plus you get full exclusivity of Bron Eifion for the day and night of your wedding. Mary even spent time playing with Jac so Phil and I could enjoy our meal.  The food was absolutely outstanding and plenty of it.  The decor was absolutely beautiful. It was like a winter wonderland absolutely breathtaking.

10th August 2022- Mark and Gayle 

From the the very first moment we visited Bron Eifion & met Mary, we knew this was where we wanted to get married (we looked at 7 venues all over the North Wales area and this place ticked the most boxes for us).
From start to finish we felt confident & relaxed that our day would be special & run smoothly and the team there did not let us down at all, Mary, Lauren, Lois & all the staff there really do go above & beyond to make it happen.
Our whole wedding day was held there, the ceremony, the wedding breakfast, the evening reception and our guests absolutely loved the place.
Some of our guests stayed the night before the wedding, we had the whole house to ourselves and we filled the rooms with our guests on the night of the wedding. It couldn't have been anymore private & personal, it was perfect.
We were lucky enough to get married on one of the hottest days of the year in mid August so having the ceremony outside really did add to the occasion.
The food & drinks included in the day were exceptional, the way the team organise the day meant we didn't have to worry about the details and the evening disco was also fab. We had a wedding group of 60 guests of all ages and everyone has complimented the venue and the day so much that it is very easy for us to recommend Bron Eifion to everyone & anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. I'm sure we will return in the future for an Anniversary stay or just a weekend away as we will now forever hold it very close to our hearts.
Thank you all at Bron Eifion country house for making our 'special' day even more special, you are all amazing xx

4th June 2022 - Rosie and Mark

My husband and I got married at Bron Eifion Country House Hotel beginning of June 2022. Due to Covid we had to push our wedding back two years running, as we were supposed to get married there back in 2020. Mary (the Owner) was very understanding and flexible about the situation. When we finally had our big day our guests were impressed by how stunning the venue is, the staff were great and we really did have a fantastic day. We would definitely recommend Bron Eifion Hotel to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Wales/UK. The hotel is a listed building, the hotel was pretty much spotless/very clean, the interior of the hotel is fancy (the gallery reminds me of the interior of Liberty in London), the grounds are beautiful and the hotel is a great size for a small or a large wedding - enough bedrooms for the bride & groom, the whole bridal party and the parents, but small enough that it feels personal.

 

 

December Wedding 5/5 Stars plus 4 on top! - Shelli and Mike December 2021

I honestly do not have the words in my vocabulary to adequately convey how highly I could recommend Bron Eifion as a wedding venue! From the moment my (new) husband and I first visited and met the owner of the hotel, Mary, we knew beyond any doubt that this was the place, above all other, for us to host our wedding. It was perfect! The fact that the building and grounds are stunning was a great start, but then it was our first meeting with Mary when it was clear she absolutely knew her stuff and was so ‘in tune’ with what we wanted to achieve we knew we were in safe pair of hands. Throughout the process of booking to the final event, it was clear that through the excellent, meticulous planning and organisational skills, the years of experience in the field, and the calm, cool demeanour of Mary there was nothing for me to get all ‘Bride Zilla’ about... It was all in hand. We chose a winter wedding – a very competitively priced package for up to 50 guests – and OMG! It did not disappoint. Mary and Lauren pulled out all the stops with the Christmas trees and the festive décor in the hotel that blew us away. As we were quite a small party, it was possible for most of our guests to stay in the hotel the night before the wedding which was a fabulous start to the weekend. We arranged for all the guests to have an evening meal and it was a great way for people to start to get to know each other....by the time the wedding came we felt like the hotel was our ‘home’ and we were just one big family within it. A special mention must go out to the chef, and the team who produced the most spectacular fayre throughout, always plentiful, so beautifully presented and always the perfect temperature. We even provided 4 rounds of cheese, a load of fruit and left it to the chef to create the masterpiece that was our cheese tiered wedding cake. It was incredible! The DJ provided as part of the wedding package, Vic’s boogie nights, was also stupendous! He kept our guests on the dancefloor all night long, which was really what we wanted. A special shout out too, for ALL the staff in Marys team. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they were smart, polite, capable and efficient. All in all, a fabulous time was had by all and we couldn’t have wished for a better start to our married life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITH AN EXTRA 4 STARS ON TOP!!!

5/5 stars- Laura and Tom July 2021

My husband and I got married in July 2021. Bron Eifion had been our dream venue since we walked through the door. The team at the venue are incredibly accommodating and could not do enough for us. Mary is a sensation to work with, she took our ideas and created a wedding beyond our expectations. Her dedication to giving her couples their dream day is surely unrivalled. As a bride, I felt like a princess for the day, I envisaged me running around sorting last minutes bits out but the team did everything and more to make me feel relaxed. Having got married during covid and having to change our wedding date a whopping four times, I don’t think any other venue would have maintained the same level of dedication, desire and momentum to create our very special wedding day. The wedding day itself ran seamlessly, with all the staff working so hard. Due to the fantastic Welsh weather we opted to change to an outdoor wedding ceremony the day before the wedding, nothing was too much. What Mary and her team created was just sheer magic and perfection. All of our guests and family were blown away by the venue, and the food for our wedding breakfast was out of this world! There is not one thing I would have asked for more of, this wedding venue and hotel deserve every accolade that comes their way, and more! Thank you Mary and your wonderful team for everything.

100% in everything - Kayleigh and Zac  (7th March 2020)

Absolutely superb - Leanne and Geraint

Where do I start! Had our wedding here on the 20th July and it was absolutely incredible. The room was so beautifully set up and we had use of the whole hotel which was fantastic for us and our guests. Can’t thank Mary enough for the amazing effort and preparation that went into our special day. The staff there, especially Fin, who’s the assistant manager and the owners daughter, Lauren were incredible. They are all so friendly and easy to have a bit of a laugh with which really adds to the day and makes it that little bit more special. It felt like we were being looked after by friends rather than staff which was lovely. Food was to die for! It was something I was looking forward to for months and they definitely delivered! We had a creamy mushroom starter, lamb for main and an incredible pistachio and caramel brownie for dessert. Couldn’t fault it at all, it was beautiful. The owner and wedding planner, Mary, has been so incredible these last few months while helping us plan our wedding and making it as special as possible for my husband and I. She’s been so kind, patient and understanding. We really can’t thank you enough! I’d also like to say how beautiful this place is and having our photos there in the grounds was incredible. So peaceful and pretty. I’d love to recommend to anybody out there looking for a wedding venue or a place to stay, this is the place to go! Lastly, I’d love to thank the staff and Mary again for an absolutely fantastic time!

 

Sarah and David 22nd June 2019

A day we will never ever forget which was all made possible by the wonderful venue that is Bron Eifion and more importantly the wonderful owner and manager, Mary & John. Highly skilled staff who got all timings, set ups etc spot on and gave valuable advice in everything we wanted. Our Dwyfor suite was splendid and everything we had hoped for. a truly wonderful day at a truly wonderful venue run by great people

Helen and Zach 8th June 2019

To John Mary Fin and all at Bron Eifion. We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for helping to make our wedding day the most perfect day. You have an amazing team and we didn't have to worry about a single thing all day, you all went above and beyond. We can't wait to come back for a visit!

 

John and Wayne 1st September 2018

We will struggle to find the words to give enough credit to Mary, Marie and their team following our wedding yesterday. From the first day we arrived to look around there was nowhere else we wanted to be married. The team are friendly, approachable, professional and nothing is too much trouble. The Bron Eifion is stunning, the food was amazing and the staff worked so hard all day but were so lovely they felt part of our day. Our only regret is we can't turn back time and have the day all over again. Thank you so much for giving us memories we will cherish forever. Love to you all xx

 

Alis and Adrian 23rd July 2017

Thank you very much for hosting our wedding day. Thanks for all your hard work in setting out the Garden Room. It looked fantastic. Your waiters and waitresses were so friendly and helpful. As for the food - what can we say, it was outstanding and of exceptional quality. We had numerous comments from guests about how superb the meal was and I was pleased to be able to speak to the chef directly to pass on our gratitude and congratulate him on such amazing talent. Thanks for recommending the DJ Vic and also the photographer Euron. The lovely venue Bron Eifion was appreciated by all and we will call in to see you sometime when next at home.

 

 

APRIL 2016 - Mr Derrick Williams - Father of the Bride

​Dear Mary, 
​Just a quick note to thank you and your staff for ensuring that out daughter Donnas Wedding day was such a joyous event.
The setting at Bron Eifion was immaculate and the attention to detail was second to none. We had heard from friends and family that
​a wedding at Bron Eifion was truly a one in a lifetime experience, and this proved to be the case. Fair play to you, you even arranged for the sun
​to shine on the happy couple!
​Donna and her husband Mathew have just returned from their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic which they thoroughly enjoyed and they
are now reviewing their wedding day photographs for all their friends and family to enjoy.
​Once gain Mary, many thanks for your help and advice throughout the wedding planning process, special thanks also to all the kitchen staff for
​what must have been a long day, and night, and last but not least, Marie and the girls behind the bar. The quick service that Mandy and I personally received ​at the bar was greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
​Derrick Williams

SEPTEMBER 2015 – Mrs Edwards – Mother of the Bride

Dear Mary, Marie and team

I am so sorry not to have been in touch sooner............. The wedding party didn't finish till late Sunday evening. Then Katie and Martin left for Sri Lanka first thing Monday...... And roger and I for Malaysia on Tuesday.... So our feet haven't touched the ground.

As Katie was boarding their plane she texted me ' mum, that was the best bloody wedding ever!’............ And that just about sums it up!!! You at Bron were fantastic, so professional, so understanding to our needs and just perfect. You made K and M's day unforgettable. I am running out of words! I saw

Jason during the evening and thanked him........ Every mouthful was spot on..... And the beef! Well suffice to say it melted in the mouth.

Marian - Glesni - Trio Canig - everyone were truly amazing....... But my biggest thanks go to you Mary, you are a star! And I would like nothing more than to 'have a few ' with you some time!

See you soon
Love Jane xx

AUGUST 2014 – Pete and Melanie

To Mary, Marie and all the staff at Bron Eifion,

Thank you for all your help and heard work in making our Wedding day just perfect. From Pete and Melanie FEBRUARY 2014 – Lowri and Rhodri Dear Mary and Marie, Having at last recovered from the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks, I would like to thank both of you and the staff at Bron Eifion for the wonderful day we had on Saturday. Even though the weather was not brilliant to say the least we had an absolutely fantastic day – everybody who were there said how much they enjoyed themselves, some had travelled some way and said it was one of the best Weddings ever and the venue was a big part of that. The room looked fantastic, took my breath away when I first saw it, the food was fantastic both day and night, staff were brilliant – all in all it was faultless. Lowri and Rhodri enjoyed the day very much and I’ve never seen a couple so happy on their big day. A big thank you to you all for everything you have done for us over the last 6 months or so. It is no wonder you are the best Wedding Venue of the year. Many congratulations to you and your staff.

Wendy, Anthony and the happy couple Lowri and Rhodri

OCTOBER 2012 - Ian and Darcy Cousins

My husband and I were married at the Bron Eifion in October 2012, and we cannot praise Mary, Marie, and the rest of the Bron Eifion staff enough for making our day truly memorable. Mary runs a tight ship in the planning process, and her detail-oriented approach ensured that everything on the day ran extremely smoothly. Marie and her staff were very attentive, polite, well-presented and professional.

Prior to the ceremony we had visited the Bron and ate Sunday Lunch. That meal did not prepare us for the outstanding quality of the food we had at our wedding. We had so many compliments on the wedding breakfast, including one uncle saying it was the best food he had ever had at any wedding he had been to. My mother-in-law, who normally eats very sparingly, cleared her plate of all three courses.

What a fabulous backdrop for wedding photos. Even if you got bad weather on the day and had to stick to indoor photos, you couldn't go wrong.

You hear horror stories from some couples about everything imaginable going wrong or about having poor food or service, and I am so pleased that I am not counted among that group! My husband and I look back at our wedding as the best day of our lives so far, and the efforts of the staff at the Bron Eifion deserve the credit for that.

JUNE 2012 - Heledd and Nathan Tandy

We held our wedding reception at Bron Eifion Country House Hotel, and it was one of the best choices we made for our big day! The hotel is grand yet understated; Mary Heenan the manager was a delight to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was really excellent, with everyone commenting on how tasty it was. The staff made sure the bubbles kept flowing, and all my vendors that dealt with Mary and her staff were more than complimentary. The garden room for the wedding breakfast was stunning. We could not wish for a better location for our very special day. It was a stunning backdrop to our wedding photos too. My husband and I can’t wait to return for a weekend away to reminisce about our exquisite day at Bron Eifion.

Pure elegance and class, Would highly recommend.

OCTOBER 2011 - Meleri and Rhys Roberts

Just a short note to thank you all sincerely for making our Wedding Day such a joyous and memorable occasion. Your kindness, friendliness, help, flexibility and attention to detail throughout were very much appreciated  and made the Bron Eifion the perfect venue for us!

Everything was exactly as we hoped and imagined, and we could not fault anything,  We would do anything to relive it all again. Thank you for making us and our guests feel so special. We were treated like royalty!

MARCH 2011 - Phillip and Francesca Pritchard

A massive thank you to everyone who helped make our special day go like clockwork! We really cannot thank you all enough! Our guests had the best day and have not stopped talking about how wonderful our day was and how fabulous the venuewas, right down to the smallest detail. You really outshone our expectations!
