We have decided to get married in Fi’s spiritual home of Wales. She’s been helplessly obsessesed with the “green, green grass of home” since seeing the Rhod Gilbert advert for Visit Wales some years ago.
Our chosen venue is Penybanc Farm, set deep in the heart of West Wales and on the borders of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire. The farm lies on top of a hill with views over the lush green Teifi Valley below. Here is a link to tell you more: www.welshgreenweddings.co.uk
We love the creativity, imagination and ethos of the farm owners and the freedom they allow. The farm offers a host of accommodation ideas from yurts to converted double decker buses to our favourite, a gypsy wagon bridal suite !
Penybanc is an organic farm covering 40 acres with all wedding produce sourced from within a 25 mile radius. It is a Vegetarian approved venue and we hope as many of you as possible will embrace your inner herbivore (sorry Ed M !).
It is still a working farm, so we will be joined during the weekend by cows, chickens, shire horse Bonnie and resident donkeys, Honey and Treacle.
The weekend’s celebration will all be taking place on site and, weather permitting, we’re hoping to be outdoors as much as possible which will probably influence your footwear strategy. Our hope is to get married under a pagoda in the walled garden with views over the valley. Following formalities, there will be sporting fun in the wildflower meadow as we make our way up to the locally made, organic flax tipi for food, drink, dancing and speeches.
Ultimately, we just love what they’re all about – “it won’t cost a fortune and it won’t cost the earth !”
