Llancaiach Fawr Manor is a 16th-century manor that’s been restored to how it would have looked during the royal visit of King Charles I in 1645. The Grade I listed property is steeped in history and is described as one of the finest surviving fortified Tudor manor houses in the country. Located in the heart of the picturesque South Wales Valleys, it’s a secluded paradise that’s perfect for weddings.

Celebrate in style
The light and modern Conservatory, which offers panoramic views across the surrounding countryside, can accommodate 70 guests.

Small weddings take place in the Parlour, which provides the perfect setting for an atmospheric candlelit ceremony for up to 30 friends and family, or the splendid Great Hall can be used for 50 people.

Alternatively, the Mansell Hall perfectly combines modern and traditional décor and is capable of holding 120 loved ones.

Receptions for more than 120 people take place in the elegant marquee. Situated on the tree-lined meadow, the attractive formal gardens are ideal for a champagne and canapés reception in the summer months or treasured family photographs.

We love...
The manor house is located close to the prehistoric landscape of Gelligaer Common, a place of significant historical importance, and is only 15 minutes from Brecon Beacons National Park.

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes. However, new research from Moonpig, the UK's leading online greeting card and gift retailer, has revealed that the nation is moving away from these traditions in favour of highly personal and often quirky rituals. The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day. Meanwhile, over a third (39%) would consider hiring an 'Etsy witch' or similar spiritualist to provide blessing rituals for their big day.
