Edwardian elegance
The Edwardian era is known for its
flamboyant and elaborate fashions, so
where better to host a stylish wedding
than this period building, situated on
the coastline of MidWales.
The Conrah
, an elegant country house
hotel in Aberystwyth, caters for
events of all sizes, from smaller
bespoke celebrations to larger
weddings of up to 160. Its chefs take
pride in using home-grown and
seasonal produce to create wonderful
flavours, so you’ll be sure to enjoy a
true taste ofWales. The area is
steeped in local legend so why not
incorporate a visit to King Arthur’s
Labyrinth in the nearby mountains of
southern Snowdonia. Guided by a Dark
Age boatman, you’ll sail through a
waterfall and across a thousand years –
now that’s an experience you don’t get
at the average wedding!
