Join me at the Tŷ Afon River House Wedding Showcase on Sunday 27 September, from 1pm to 4pm. Come and say hello, meet a handpicked group of North Wales wedding suppliers, and picture how your own ceremony could feel in one of the most beautiful corners of Eryri.
Tŷ Afon is an intimate river house in the village of Beddgelert, tucked deep into the Snowdonia/Eryri mountains with 360° views in every direction and ten rooms full of Welsh charm for you and your people to settle into. You can say your vows in one of two elegant rooms indoors, or outside on the mountain terrace (with a weatherproof canopy to keep you dry), framed by two tall standing trees and the majestic backdrop of Moel Hebog.
Available for exclusive hire or for an intimate elopement, it suits couples who want their wedding to feel relaxed, personal, and properly rooted in the landscape rather than squeezed into a formula. Whether you're picturing a destination wedding in North Wales, a micro wedding, an Eryri elopement, or a big exclusive-hire celebration with everyone you love under one roof, Tŷ Afon's might just be the perfect spot for you.
Because you can choose a celebrant-led ceremony here rather than a standard registrar slot, your day can be shaped entirely around the two of you. That's where I come in. I work with a small number of couples each year so I can give their wedding days my full attention. Perhaps you’re planning a ceremony that reflects you and your love, you’re looking for something that feels personal, meaningful, authentic and fun. Or maybe you would like your friends and family to be involved in the ceremony.
I'll be there as your North Wales wedding celebrant, ready to talk through anything from personal vows and handfasting to how a celebrant ceremony actually works.
You'll also get to meet the wedding suppliers Tŷ Afon trusts to bring their weddings to life:
Places are limited and registration is required, so if you'd like to join us on Sunday 27 September, find out more on instagram, then email the Tŷ Afon team at weddings@tyafon.co.uk to claim your spot.
And if you already know Tŷ Afon is your place, or you're weighing up somewhere else in Eryri, get in touch and let's talk about the kind of ceremony you actually want. You can also find out more about me and how I work here.
