The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama sits in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre and is surrounded by white Portland-stone 19th century civic buildings on one side and the grounds of the magnificent Cardiff Castle on the other. Situated at the end of an impressive tree-lined avenue, guests will arrive from within Bute Park with the castle in view. This entrance can accommodate traditional wedding cars, tuk tuks or horses and carts. The park is situated on the river, which runs down to Cardiff Bay, so it’s possible to have a water taxi bring the bride and groom to and from the wedding.

The college is made up of two buildings encompassing both historic and contemporary styles. The Anthony Hopkins centre is the original Cardiff Castle Stables and boasts a historic open-air courtyard. In addition, the contemporary glass-walled entrance hall and open-air terrace overlooking the Grade I listed Bute Park, create a stunning backdrop for those all- important photographs.

Celebrate in style
The Anthony Hopkins Centre has two elegant rooms that are available for ceremonies, one can seat 85 guests, and the other can hold 60.

The World-Class Concert Hall can accommodate up to 250 loved ones, and the Richard Burton Theatre has room for 130.

Intimate receptions take place in the stables with 50 nearest and dearest, and large celebrations are held in the glass-walled entrance hall and open- air terrace with 200 friends and family.

Up to 300 people can dance the night away in the glass-wall atrium, which has a fully-stocked and licensed bar as well as a dancing area, cloakroom and bridge decorated with fairylights.

We love...
The venue offers a Hire a Performer Scheme where the staff will help you find the perfect musicians for your evening entertainment.

New figures have revealed that Britain's couples are ruthlessly blacklisting the nation's favourite party anthems from their big days. A shocking analysis of playlist requests shows that legendary floor-fillers are being banished to the 'Do Not Play' list. Modern couples are ordering DJs to completely snub overplayed staples like 'Uptown Funk' and 'Mr Brightside'. But Brits are not turning their backs on the dancefloor. Instead of relying on default reception cheese, millennial newlyweds are demanding authentic club vibes that replicate a proper night out.

Swansea has been named one of the best food destinations in the UK

Swansea has been named the UK's fifth best food destination outside London, putting it ahead of Worcester, Newport, Wrexham, Perth and Brighton & Hove in a new city-break ranking. The Welsh city was placed inside the top five after analysis by travel specialists at Ski Vertigo which compared recent restaurant rankings, review data and current dining guide credentials across more than 60 UK cities. Birmingham took the overall crown, but Swansea's position gives the city a clear food-led break hook for travellers who want a cheaper and easier alternative to the capital. London dominates the UK for sheer restaurant volume and high-end dining, but the ranking looked beyond size alone, comparing the ratio of five-star rated food spots to total venues alongside wider guide recognition.

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question

Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations. So why do we still call it a breakfast? According to Nick from Country House Weddings, the answer goes back centuries and is tied to religion, fasting and the way weddings were once celebrated in Britain.
