Just a stone’s throw from the Llangorse Lake in the Brecon Beacons sits the impressive Tall John’s House. The manor house is located amongst the rolling Welsh hills and private grounds with impressive lawns, mature trees and views across the valley. Built to celebrate the demise of the Spanish Armada, the property has been hosting weddings since 1588 and has a range of spaces available 
for events.

Interior of Tall John’s House

Those looking to stay the night can choose between the Honeysuckle Cottage, which sleeps eight on a self-catering basis or The Cochmans, which is a charming getaway for two. The manor house can also hold 20 on a staffed basis with breakfast included.

Celebrate in style
The restored Welsh barn looks across the Black Mountains and is available for weddings. Boasting two enchanting courtyards, underfloor heating, insulation, electric points, hard floors, integral toilets and a catering area, this charming space has it all. The team have created a light and airy room that retains the romance of the original building with slit windows, high beams and exposed brickwork. It can cater for 160 loved ones, and the split level granary can accommodate 80, with room for more people to stand in the gallery above.

Those looking for an intimate space can say their vows in the Drawing Room, located inside the manor house, with up to 20 friends and family.

Tall John’s can also cater for intimate or elopement weddings for up to 30 nearest and dearest in the manor house and granary.

We love...
Couples will receive a special breakfast basket on the morning after the wedding.

Something borrowed, something blue’ is out – but 1 in 4 Brits still value wedding cards

New research from Moonpig reveals the top wedding card writing confessions. A whopping 30% of Brits admit to defaulting to a safe "congratulations!" because they simply can't think of anything else to say. This is followed by recycling the same message for different couples (11%) and signing a card without knowing what your partner has written (8%). What's more, when stuck for words, one in 10 (8%) admit to turning to AI for inspiration - this rises to one in seven (14%) among 25–34-year-olds.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies.
