Bryngarw House, an exclusive-use wedding venue, has unveiled plans to transform its overnight guest accommodation, including a new bridal suite. The property, located in the heart of 100 acres of award-winning country parkland in the county borough of Bridgend, typically welcomes 6,000 wedding guests each year. 

Cardiff-based design company Momentum has been appointed to design the interior spaces, which will be inspired by the changing colours of Bryngarw Country Park throughout the seasons, and sympathetic to the building’s architecture and strong Welsh heritage. Rich, bold colours, textures, patterns, prints and accessories, together with a mix of materials including natural wood, wool, slate, exposed stone and antique metals, will be used in the bedrooms to create a luxurious setting for guests to relax and enjoy. 

The chief executive of Awen Trading Limited, Richard Hughes, tells us: “Our vision is to develop Bryngarw House, a venue with an impressive history, as a luxury Welsh brand and high-end destination for the wedding market, whilst diversifying the business for conferences, weekend retreats and special occasion events. This, in turn, will boost the venue’s impact within the local community and create new and sustainable employment opportunities within hospitality and tourism, industries which have been among the worst affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Through our refurbishment plans, we will celebrate the beautiful Welsh valley surroundings, promote the language, cultural and environmental heritage, and offer the very best from local producers and suppliers.”
