Taking vows Parc Bryn Bach and Bedwellty House are now both popular for weddings and other ceremonies. Blaenau Gwent’s Register Office in Tredegar has been busy conducting naming ceremonies, citizenship ceremonies, marriages, civil partnerships and renewal of vows. The countryside centre at Parc Bryn Bach has already booked in many weddings for 2009 and the newly renovated Institute at Llanhilleth will also be available for ceremonies from February, 2009. In the future, the £6.4 million restoration of Bedwellty House and Park will provide an even more beautiful setting for ceremonies - as well as a new home for the Blaenau Gwent Registration Service.
