St Donat's Castle, Vale of Glamorgan
St Donat’s Castle is a breathtaking venue. Owned by UWC Atlantic College it’s available for weddings outside of college seasons. Guests will be stunned by the beauty of the castle, as they’re welcomed into the courtyard they’ll be able to admire the well maintained castle before heading to the top lawn overlooking the beautiful Tudor gardens and seafront.
Weddings are held in the Bradenstoke Hall, which can accommodate 170 guests for a daytime reception and 200 in the evening. The castle retains many of its 14th-century details including the neutral castle stone walls and gorgeous stained windows. As you leave the venue, prepare for picturesque views of the sea and gardens, they’re truly a sight to behold.

What we've learnt from the latest reader poll at www.yoursouthwales.wedding
When you tie the knot, will you also be saying 'I do' to changing your surname? If so, how?
I'll be taking my husband's surname: 65%
I'm keeping my maiden name: 18%
I'm going to double-barrel his and mine: 18%
We're going to merge the two and create a new surname for us both to take on! You're not alone – recent research by founder of Your Planning Angel, Heather Angell, has revealed that more than 20 per cent of women consider doing this!: 0% |
