Caerphilly Castle
Caerphilly Castle is a stunning, historic venue which boasts picturesque surrounds and a moat to boot – making it an ideal backdrop for your special day, full to the brim with amazing photo opportunities.
The 14th century Great Hall is a striking location for your ceremony. Right in the heart of the castle, this breathtaking space caters for a maximum capacity of 200 – including staff. For a formal seated function, 150 is the recommended number of friends and family to share your day with. Once you have exchanged your vows, you and your loved ones can escape into the magnificent grounds for those picture-perfect moments and to soak up the ambience, while the team transform the Great Hall into your reception space.

What we've learnt from the latest reader poll at www.yoursouthwales.wedding
Charity favours are a fab way to show your support to a cause on your special day – would you opt for these on your big day?
Absolutely – we love the idea of donating money to charity and telling our loved ones what we've done to spread awareness about the work they do.: 43% Yes – but we're going to opt for a charity that gives pin badges or a pretty product in exchange for our generous donation so that our guests still have something to take home from our nuptials.: 14% We're opting for different favours but will be donating lots of our wedding items – my dress included – to charity after our big day.: 0% Not on our big day but we do support charities in other ways throughout the year.: 43% | |
