“We brought our annual industry conference to Celtic Manor Resort in 2013, having outgrown three previous venues during the many years it was held. There was some initial trepidation from delegates as the previous venue in the Midlands was considered very convenient for travelling but, once delegates saw the new venue, it is fair to state this quickly disappeared.

The move to Celtic Manor not only reinvigorated the conference but the facility offered has allowed the conference to grow substantially with almost unanimous approval of the hotel, staff and the delightful surroundings. It is hard to envisage a better venue and the conference will stay at Celtic Manor for many years to come. I am often contacted by other hotels but have never ever considered the possibility of holding the conference anywhere else, I can give no higher praise.”

“A big thank you to Celtic Manor Resort for the exceptional site visit last Friday. To say it was a masterclass in how to showcase your venue to a prospective client is an understatement! From the moment my client and I arrived to the moment we left, the venue excelled.

So many of the team had been briefed about who we were and the company that was coming – the branding touches at certain points of the show round were welcome and gave an insight to what the hotel could offer for the event.

The effort that the hotel had gone to, showed how much they wanted to host the future event and I can honestly say it was a masterclass of how to win friends and influence!

They had researched our client – and had key phrases and branding within the production presentation, the food and beverage offerings and even an interactive activity – it made for an entertaining afternoon and really made me and the client see their event at Celtic Manor.

The fabulous finishing touch was a valeted car to depart with and a lovely hamper of Welsh goodies for our journey home – again with a well thought out message!”

“It was an unbelievable event from start to finish and we continue to receive feedback from our clients and business partners letting our CEO know that ‘it was the best event to date’. The week was action-packed and yet seamless from start to finish across so many fantastic event spaces! The Celtic Manor staff are by far the best events team I have worked with and the professionalism, attention to detail and personal touches are what made the difference for me and our guests.”

“BCD Meetings & Events held their annual all employee event at the beautiful Celtic Manor Resort. It was so exciting to return back there after visiting only just a few months ago.

This property really does excel in everything they do! It was our biggest attendance we’ve ever had for this event and with over 400 of us, Celtic Manor was the perfect place to be.  I was absolutely blown away by the service, the food, the spaces and most importantly, their hospitality.

Huge thanks to The Celtic Collection for making this possible.  They are one truly great team and they should be proud of everything they do!”

“We work in many hotels of differing standards throughout the year but we as a team are yet to come across co-operation from an operations team as we do from your guys at Celtic Manor. It is without doubt one of our favourite venues to come to and this is mainly due to the reception we receive from John and Iolo and their respective teams who only make our life easier with their can-do attitude and fantastic approach to what we do. It can be increasingly difficult to work with people and many hotels would learn massive amounts from your guys. You should be immensely proud of them and they are great ambassadors for what is a fantastic property.”
