Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 67)

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Talhenbont Hall is an exclusive-use wedding venue based on the stunning Llyn Peninsula, North Wales. It’s most recent addition is a gorgeous outdoor terrace at the rear of the recently-renovated Grade II listed Coach House designed by owners Paul and Alicia and bringing a modern vibe. A perfect space to host your drinks reception and to enjoy in the evening, the terrace boasts enviable, uninterrupted views over the River Dwyfach and ancient woodland thanks to the glass balustrade. The firepit is a focal point in the evening, generating warmth once the sun sets. Talhenbont Hall is an Elizabethan Manor House and along with the new Coach House Terrace the venue boasts an amphitheatre-style terrace where you can exchange vows during the summer months. Here, you can find everything you could want in a venue from the history of the Hall to the rustic feel of the Coach House and modern setting of its newest outdoor space. What’s more, the estate can sleep 42 guests, making it the ultimate UK destination wedding venue.

We’re passionate about quality flowers, breathtaking designs, and the outstanding service we give to each of our clients, so it’s wonderful to have this recognition.
