Terms and Conditions

The Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel asks clients to be aware that all wedding bookings are conducted on the basis of these Standard Terms and Conditions:

Confirmation

A provisional booking for the date of your choice will be held for a maximum of 14 days.  After 14 days, a non-refundable deposit of £500 and a signed copy of these Terms and Conditions are required to confirm your provisional booking. Confirmation of the booking will then be made in writing by the Hotel.  A charge of 3% will be applicable to all credit card payments.

Payments

Six months before the date of your wedding, you will be required to make a further payment of £1000.  Your final account will then be sent to you four weeks before the date of your wedding, requesting full payment no later than 14 days before your wedding date.  Late payments may incur an additional charge. We regret that we are unable to accept payment by cheque for payments made less than 14 days before your wedding date.  Any extras incurred are to be settled on the day of the event. All payments will be confirmed in writing.

Price guarantee

All prices are current and inclusive of VAT, unless otherwise stated.  Whilst every effort will be made to maintain current prices, they may be subject to alteration at management discretion, without prior notice.  Where prices have yet to be set in respect of the date of your wedding, any bookings confirmed will be subject to the knowledge that annual increases may apply.

Minimum numbers

We reserve the right to set minimum numbers for weddings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (April – September), Saturdays in October, November and December and Bank Holidays. Weddings booked on these dates will be subject to a minimum number of 85 adults for the Wedding Breakfast and Drinks Package and a minimum of 100 guests for the Evening Buffet.  Weddings on Saturdays in December will be subject to a minimum of 100 daytime guests (including drinks package) and an evening number of 120 guests. 

On these dates weddings must comply with the minimum requirements and payment for this number will still be required where numbers fall below.  Final numbers must be confirmed with the Hotel at least 14 days prior to the wedding date.  We regret that any shortfall in numbers less than 14 days prior to your event will result in full payment being charged.  Refunds will not be given for guests that do not attend.

Food and Beverage

Evening buffets must be ordered for the total number of guests attending the evening function.  No outside catering is permitted at the Hotel. All alcoholic beverages brought onto our premises are subject to a corkage charge. 

Children

Children under the age of 8 years will be subject to a charge of 50% of the chosen Wedding Breakfast and Drinks Packages.  We regret that no discount can be offered for children in respect of the Evening Buffet.

Special Requirements

It is the client’s responsibility to inform the hotel prior to the event, of any special dietary requirements or food allergies of any of the wedding guests.  Any wheelchair accessibility requirements must also be notified to the Hotel in advance of the wedding.

Accommodation

It is the responsibility of the client, at the time of confirming the booking to enquire about room availability and request a number of bedrooms to be reserved for wedding guests.  Priority for guest rooms will be given to the wedding party of the day. Whilst we cannot guarantee a minimum number of rooms for additional nights, before or after your wedding day, we will endeavour to liaise with that day’s wedding party to ascertain their requirements, after which surplus rooms can be released for use by your guests requiring an extended stay.

Individual guests must confirm their reservation and pay a non-returnable deposit of £50.00 per room per night.  Rooms will be released six weeks prior to the wedding date if not confirmed with a name, deposit and payment details.

Exclusive use of all 27 bedrooms (where available), will require a non-refundable deposit of £500.00 to be paid at the same time the Wedding Booking is confirmed. We offer several rooms that are wheelchair accessible.  It is the client’s responsibility to notify the Hotel of any accessibility requirements in order that appropriate rooms can be allocated where necessary.

Damage

The client is responsible to the Hotel for any damages caused by the client or their guests or agents.

Entertainment

We require a copy of valid public liability insurance for any sub –contractor i.e. entertainment arranged by yourselves.  Failure to provide a copy in advance of your wedding date, may result in access being denied.
