To put Penhein in context, we offer something a little different - a magical Woodland Wedding (sometimes known as a micro wedding) hosted in a stunning glampsite, the perfect venue for a small, intimate wedding party for up to 50 guests (20 additional guests can be accommodated if your guest list is over 50. However there will be a small charge per person).

Nestled amongst the trees in the centre of Penhein Farm is multi award winning Penhein Glamping. Along with our luxury accommodation, there is a stunning stretch marquee party space big enough for your guests to dine, dance and mingle. There is also a beautiful, all-purpose indoor space ideal for the bridal party or perhaps as a chillout space during the celebrations.

Exclusive hire of the glampsite, complete with these two communal spaces, means you have everything you need to curate the wedding of your dreams. Working on a dry-hire basis, Penhein is a blank canvas on which to work your own magic and means no marquees to book or accommodation to worry about as they are all part of the package, as is the breathtaking scenery and stunning countryside all around.

Our arrangement is simple:

  • The starting price for exclusive hire covers the glampsite accommodation and is complete with our two communal spaces
  • Our weddings are based on a two night stay mid week and a three night minimum stay at weekends. We also offer 3, 4, 5 or 7 night midweek stays
  • The site is on a dry hire basis, so you can choose your own suppliers and decorate the site to any theme you wish
  • The stretch marquee (Chehel Sotoun) and additional communal tent (Petro) are part of the package at no extra cost
  • A maximum of 20 additional guests can be accommodated if your guest list is over 50, however there will be a small charge per person
  • If some guests prefer, they can stay at local B&Bs or hotels or attend as day guests. We can supply a list of local accommodation options

Despite its secluded location, Penhein has excellent transport links – it’s just 20 minutes from the M4 and within easy reach of Bristol and Cardiff airports. There are also regular train services from Newport and Chepstow.

Sustainability is central to all we do. It is our guiding principle. We are the proud holders of the British Tourism Gold Award, the Welsh Green Key Award and a variety of media green awards. It is perhaps best summed up by this - ‘The team possess excellent sustainability knowledge and environmental awareness which translates into many examples of green best practice throughout the business' - from our Green Tourism Gold Award

An unforgettable gem

I am rudely late writing this review, and even now, months later, I feel tearful writing it because of how absolutely perfect Penhein made our wedding weekend. Part of me wants to gatekeep this gorgeous slice of pure heaven - the fact that Helen is kind enough to share it how she does is an absolute gift to the world. From the start, Helen and Teresa were so friendly and welcoming and helpful, and also so understanding of us as a couple - we are the (honestly nightmare) combination of very busy and very laidback, and the team weren't pushy at all and were so forgiving of us being slow replying to emails and not having answers for questions. We also had a very unexpected emergency on our day, and Helen was easily the calmest, most controlled, and most understanding person in quite a scary situation. It's really quite insane to think about what actually happened on that day, and how little of a real impact it somehow made to our wedding day thanks to the actions of the Penhein team.

We used a lot of their recommended suppliers, all of whom were incredible, kind, understanding, easy to work with, and truly understood the site. Highly recommend taking all of Penhein's recommendations!

In terms of the venue itself, it really cannot be truly communicated just how beautiful it is. Our guests were mindblown by the site, and there were multiple times I walked around by myself and just had a little happy cry, listening to the birds singing, taking in the view, and feeling like the luckiest person on earth to be there. At night it is somehow even more beautiful - twinkling fairylights in the trees, roaring campfires, and the feeling of being so at home in the world.

Just the perfect, perfect venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
