The Glen-Yr- Afon House Hotel

2009 Wedding Fayre

The Hotel held its very first on Sunday 15th November 2009

It proved to be an extremely successful day for couples looking for wedding service providers to help plan their wedding celebrations. It was very busy all day and the exhibitors were overwhelmed by the number of people who attended. Due to the success of the event, plans have been made to hold an annual Wedding Fayre in October / Novemeber each year.

'I just had to write to you straight away to compliment you and the other staff on a fantastic wedding fayre. It was so well organised and your attention to detail was the best I've seen. We and the guests were very well looked after by your staff with tea/coffee, food and cake, always appreciated. It was the best fayre we have done this year with a really nice atmosphere. We took 6 bookings on the day and I know there will be more to follow. The other exhibitors whom I've got to know well over the last 4 years were very pleased with the fayre.

Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved and I look forward to your next fayre.' - Alastair & Marion, Funky Fountains
