"It is a privilege to be a part of a couples special day and to help support many local businesses"
The church is the only timber framed church in Wales, built on a barrow, and, dates back to the Domesday Book. The Church is described as being “nestled in an area of woodland with breath taking panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
According to Janet the company takes real joy in its work and the team pride themselves for being part of the local community.
"It is our privilege to be able to offer our venue to so many happy new couples from the local area and further afield on their wedding day, and also to help contribute to the local community and to the upkeep of the beautiful church," said Janet.
Their success has been reflected in their glowing reviews. One Happy couple said: “We had a magical day here. The venue is stunning, the views are breath taking and the atmosphere the venue has is really like no other.”
