Luxury wedding venue Sant Ffraed House by the Oldwalls Collection made its mark on the Welsh social calendar last week with the launch of its first-ever Summer Soirée. A standout event that brought together 24 influential women in Wales for a one-off day of style and celebration.

Held on Thursday the 17th of July, the exclusive invitation-only event took place at the grand countryside venue and marked Sant Ffraed House’s debut into the influencer event space. Designed to showcase the venue’s idyllic setting, gorgeous décor and elevated hospitality, the Summer Soirée blended laid-back luxury with curated glamour.

Guests arrived to a warm welcome, signature champagne spritzes and seasonal canapés in the Kitchen Bar and Courtyard while exploring the estate’s stunning gardens. The afternoon continued with a lavish long-table 5 course lunch accompanied by a live acoustic pianist. A highlight of the day was the arrival of a 9 litre Salmanazar bottle of Whispering Angel which continued to flow into the evening. Followed by golden hour cocktails on the K room terrace and grazing boards as the sun set over Sugar Loaf Mountain.

The dress code Summer Glam was embraced wholeheartedly, as guests delivered looks and content moments throughout the day. The Soirée was a celebration not only of the spectacular Sant Ffraed House, but also of the women attending.

“Hosting our first Summer Soirée was a milestone moment” says Shakira Obaid, Commercial Director at the Oldwalls Collection. “It was a resounding success, everyone had a fabulous day and it showcased our Sant Ffraed House in the manner it deserves. We’re already looking ahead to how we can build on this energy for Christmas.”

The event marks a bold new chapter for Sant Ffraed House, which is set to become a leading UK destination not just for weddings, but for luxury events too.
