A Day in the Life of… Lissy Jones

Name:
Lissy Jones

Job Position:
Wedding Manager

How long have you worked for Tyn Dwr Hall?
Nearly seven years

What attracted you to the role?
I’ve always loved weddings and knew I wanted a career that involved them. I actually Googled “best wedding venues in North Wales,” fell in love with Tyn Dwr Hall (obviously!), and emailed asking for a job in any department. I slowly worked my way into the wedding team—and I’ve never looked back.

What does a typical day at Tyn Dwr Hall look like for you?
On an office day, you’ll usually find me with a coffee in hand, answering emails, planning events, chatting to couples over the phone, and—you guessed it—more emails!

On a wedding day, every moment is different. I love the fast pace and the buzz that comes with helping everything run smoothly from start to finish.

What is your favourite part of the job?
I love meeting couples during their very first visit to the Hall, then getting to follow their journey and be part of the big day itself. Watching everything come together is such a special experience.

Can you share a memorable experience or event you’ve been part of here?
There are so many emotional and unforgettable moments I’ve witnessed over the years, but two stand out—and they both happen often.

The first is when a bride or groom’s mum walks into the ceremony room for the first time during their initial visit. You can see the excitement and emotion hit them as they realise this is where their child will say “I do.” It often ends in happy tears!

The second is during the ceremony itself—watching the groom’s face as the bride walks around the corner. A few of those reactions will stay with me forever. There’s something incredibly moving about that moment.

What do you believe sets Tyn Dwr Hall apart from other wedding venues?
The team. I genuinely believe we have the best team ever.

On top of that, the layout of the Hall is perfect for weddings. Each part of the day flows into the next, with different areas creating fresh excitement. And of course, the views are just incredible.

How do you contribute to creating a magical experience for our couples?
By simply being there. When couples know they have my full support and attention, they can fully relax and enjoy every part of the day without stress.

What is your favourite feature or spot within Tyn Dwr Hall, and why?
The Garden Room. That view is just stunning, no matter the season.

I also love the driveway—it makes for such a grand and beautiful arrival.

Can you describe the atmosphere at Tyn Dwr Hall during a wedding?
It’s fun, exciting, and full of love. There’s always a special feeling in the air.

What do you enjoy most about working with the Tyn Dwr Hall team?
Everyone is so friendly and fun to work with, but also incredibly hardworking. The whole team pulls together for every single couple, and that makes all the difference.

How do you ensure your role is tailored to the couple’s vision?
It’s all about the details. As I get to know the couple, I listen carefully to what matters most to them—whether that’s capturing a perfect photo moment or pulling off a surprise element of the day. Those little touches are what make it feel truly personal.

What advice would you give to couples planning their wedding at Tyn Dwr Hall?
Your wedding manager is here to help, so don’t be afraid to ask hundreds of questions—and trust their advice.

Also, try to break your planning into manageable steps. For example:
Month 1 – Book entertainment
Month 2 – Send invites
Month 3 – Start on your table plan, and so on

It makes everything feel far less overwhelming.
