Not only is the barn an absolutely beautiful venue with gorgeous grounds and views of the Brecon beacons. The staff at the Barn at Brynich are incredible. It's a family run business which makes all the difference as they create such a calming and friendly atmosphere. They responded so quickly to every email sent in the run up to the wedding and make you feel like your wedding is important. The day before the wedding Katie helped me with finishing touches and helped solve some last minute stressful situations. On the day, their attention to detail was second to none I didn't have to worry about a single thing. They were so kind and were working so hard to make sure everything run smoothly. They even noticed that my husband and I hadn't eaten our meal (due to nerves), they covered it up and put it in the fridge for us to have when we got back to the cottage. The beautiful Barn at Brynich and the staff will always have a very special place in our hearts. We cannot recommend this venue enough if you're wanting a barn wedding.
We couldn't have asked for a more magical venue for our wedding! Nestled in the stunning Brecon Beacons, this beautifully restored 18th-century barn has loads of rustic character. The barn itself provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception, with its exposed beams and warm inviting atmosphere creating an unforgettable day. What made the weekend even more special was the on-site cottages, allowing our family to stay together for the entire celebration. It felt like a home away from home, with every comfort provided to ensure everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. This venue offers a truly unique and intimate atmosphere, I cannot recommend this place highly enough! We loved that we were able to choose our own suppliers and decorate the venue ourselves, this made it a truly personalised day for us. The Barn at Brynich is so much more than just a barn, The venue team are incredible, they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail was impeccable. They were all extremely friendly and welcoming and made us feel at ease. Katie, our wedding co-ordinator, was specifically amazing in both the build-up and on the day, She was extremely professional, always had us in mind and never made us felt judged for any of our decisions for our day. Everyone involved at this venue helped contribute to the best day of our lives and we are extremely grateful.
As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings in many stunning venues, but the Barn at Brynich stands out as an absolute gem. From the moment you step onto the grounds, the rustic charm and natural beauty of the barn completely captivate you. The venue is nestled in the stunning Brecon Beacons, with rolling hills and breathtaking landscapes that provide an incredible backdrop for photos at every turn. The barn itself is perfect for hosting a wedding ceremony. The exposed wooden beams and stone walls lend a timeless, rustic feel. Surrounded by lush lawns, with panoramic views of the mountains, it offers endless opportunities for stunning wide shots and beautifully framed couple portraits. Whether it’s a golden sunset or some late-night photos around the fire pits, the Barn at Brynich never disappoints. Beyond the aesthetics, the team at Brynich is exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is perfect, which makes for a seamless day not just for the couple, but for vendors like myself. Their warmth and hospitality create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing me to focus on capturing genuine moments of fun and laughter. In short, the Barn at Brynich is an absolute treasure for any couple looking for a magical wedding day, and for a photographer, it’s a location that truly elevates every image.

We got married at the barn earlier this year, what a magical, unforgettable day it was. The venue is in the perfect location with beautiful views of the Brecon Beacons, it was an Ideal photo opportunity during our special day. We had evening drinks to the sound of our saxophonist playing , the sun setting behind the mountains. It was dreamy. The staff are the best around. Bec our wedding coordinator was patient, knowledgeable and helpful. She helped us plan the perfect day and tailored every little detail personal to us. The day ran seamlessly thanks to the experienced, upbeat and attentive staff. During our day we had a pizza van, ice cream and lots of live music. The venue supported all of our crazy ideas. Our guests still talk about this incredible venue and staff. Thank you for making our day the best day of our lives. Diolch yn fawr
What can we say, Barn at Brynich is an amazing venue. From the start to the very end the staff, specially Katie the wedding coordinator were outstanding. Very helpful and would bend over backwards for us. We had a problem with another supplier on friday before the wedding but Katie sorted it out and managed to get another supplier without hesitation. She was calm and made sure everyone was ok, especially myself and my partner. We couldn't recommend Barn at Brynich enough. The added bonus to having your wedding at Barn at Brynich is that you can stay in the cottages which were perfect and you can make it as a full weekend of celebrating. The Venue itself is stunning and perfect if you want that rustic vibe. Also it's dog friendly so your fury friend can join in the celebrations! Thank you Barn at Brynich!
What a venue; with the most incredible people! Every single person we encountered from 1st viewing to leaving the venue after the wedding were amazing ☺️ We always knew we wanted a barn wedding and The Barn at Brynich is beautifully authentic. The venue is 5 mins drive to the centre of Brecon town where there are a number of places to stay for other guests. Plenty of taxis nearby as well. So that wasn’t an issue. There are cottages on site that sleep up to 22 guests. Having the cottages available from Friday - Monday meant we could continue celebrations the next day with our closest family. The cottages are stunning, spacious and clean! The venue & cottages are also dog friendly and the dogs were able to run around, whilst outside. The build up to the wedding, the day before and the day was perfect. Everything we could have hoped for and more. Every member of staff was a delight to be around, welcoming, friendly & chatty. A range of drinks & shots were available at the bar and at a good price. Katie, our wedding coordinator is worth her weight in gold; we cannot speak highly enough of her. The day would have not have been the same without her. Small gestures, such as getting my favourite mixer in for the day, having a drink ready for us upstairs after our ceremony went a long way! Katie also saved the day with my flowers. I had an issue with my flowers and I was gutted, she could see this and she came to the rescue, with a calming presence and sourced a solution! Having an accountant and a former florist on site was very very helpful! I couldn’t be more thankful to Juliet for creating my beautiful bouquet. We want to do the whole weekend again and wouldn’t change a single thing. We cannot wait to come back to the barn for an evening when they have events on. Anyone thinking of getting married at the Barn at Brynich, do it!! Thank you will never be enough for making our day so perfect 🤍
