Originally belonging to Margam Abbey, Court Colman Manor was transformed into a hotel in 1981. The Georgian mansion is situated at the foothills of the Garw Valley and combines modern and period décor to create a stunning backdrop for weddings. There are three function areas for couples to choose from, large fireplaces, a sweeping staircase, a modern lounge, 29 stylish bedrooms and an Indian restaurant on-site.

The exterior has large windows and is surrounded by quaint ponds, water fountains and charming countryside. A recent addition is the Ivy Cottage which is tucked away in the grounds and offers a quirky alternative to staying in the hotel.

Celebrate in style
Say ‘I do’ in the Versailles Ballroom, a grand area that features blush wallpaper, marble pilars and crystal chandeliers, with room for 120 nearest and dearest throughout the day.

The Garden Room is a light and airy space that was originally built as a conservatory. It features large windows and can be combined with the Versailles Ballroom for large celebrations.

Alternatively, the Llewellyn Room, named after the family who lived at the property, has wood panelling and an Edwardian skylight with space for 45 guests.

We love...
Once the big day is over, you can return to Court Colman Manor to celebrate your first anniversary with a complimentary stay.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.

One4all Gift Cards unveils wedding gift trend for Welsh couples

New research from One4all Gift Cards reveals that, above all else, people from Wales believe wedding guests are expected to give what they can afford. Almost half (43%) say this is the most important expectation when attending a wedding. Against a backdrop of continued pressure on household budgets, findings suggest people in Wales are taking a more realistic approach to wedding gifting, with affordability now sitting at the heart of what many believe is expected of guests. More than a third (36%) of Welsh respondents say they're unsure what the right amount to give is, highlighting how unclear modern gifting expectations have become. Guests want to mark the occasion and give something thoughtful, but many are weighing up what feels appropriate, useful and genuinely affordable.
