A recent client who got married at the Castle said
"Our wedding day went perfectly, Alison kept eve"We chose Craig y Nos as
our wedding location for a number of reasons,
1) there's no other wedding room as opulent and as grand the theatre;
2) the grounds are beautiful for photographs;
3) the castle has so much personality and is very quirky architecturally
4) there were no hidden surcharges or stipulations unlike a lot of other
wedding venues in south wales
5) our wedding planner (Alison) was very down to earth, very straight
forward and wasnt a smarmy sales person
6) it provides everything all under one roof everything ticking along
like clockwork from arranging separate breakfasts for the bride and
groom parties, to calming my wife down with a pre-wedding brandy and she
orchestrated her staff like a military commander. She also dealt with
some of my non-english speaking in-laws with restraint and patience.

The wedding breakfast was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded everyone's
expectations. It was so filling that most of the guests barely had room
for the delights of the night buffet which thankfully kept up the
standards set by lunchtimes culinary delights both in flavour and
volume. Everyone who came left with very contented bellies.
The drinks were also reasonable priced and the bar staff were also very
friendly. A special thank you has to go out to Jason who took over
planning coordinating duties in the night.
The accommodation was also to a very high standard and possessed a
certain charm which is deeply lacking in most modern chain hotels. The
bridal suite was fantastic, the bed was plush and having a roll top bath
that overlooks a forest is a luxurious bonus. It compared rather better
than the five star spa hotel we stayed in on our mini-honeymoon.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to get married
in venue which is beautiful, has character, has no stealth charges, has
excellent staff, provides delicious food and has unique accommodation."

I am genuinely suprised that there aren’t any reviews of this fantastic venue so I had to add mine immediately! My husband and I got married at Dan-yr-Ogof Showcaves in November 2007 and held our reception at Craig-y-nos Castle. From booking our wedding to the day of checking out, we couldn’t have asked for better service, food and attention to detail, it was everything we wanted for our special day. The venue itself is just amazing, it may not be the most polished and painted venue in the world, it is a beautiful and homely castle with authentic decoration and a real warm and welcoming feel. Some venues we saw were far too ‘clinical’ with no personal interaction welcomed with any of the staff. We chose our own menu with the help of their wonderful chef who prepared the whole thing to absolute perfection. My husband and I had both been too far too many weddings in our time at ‘five star’ venues costing over £150 a head to walk away hungry and disappointed with dried out chicken, overcooked veg and melon starters!. We had the most perfect, fresh, hot meal and people have been talking about the food, service and venue ever since! The location is out of this world, yes you’re a little off the main drag, but it added to the feel of almost owning the castle for the weekend of the wedding. From every window is amazing scenery, on the doorstep is hours of walking through the beautiful countryside. The picture opportunities both in and out of the castle are second to none. I recommend this venue and its staff to anyone who wants to have their wedding in a welcoming, authentic and comfortable venue full of character with fantastic food to boot!
