Craig Y Nos Castle, located on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, was listed as the Runner Up for Best Wedding Venue 2021 at The Welsh Wedding Awards. Once home to Adelina Patti, the world-famous opera singer, Craig Y Nos Castle is a grand venue with a long and interesting history. The stunning property is surrounded by breathtaking grounds with plenty of places for guests to explore and take photographs. There are 36 en suite bedrooms for friends and family to choose from, an on-site gym with high-quality apparatus, a private lounge and a luxurious hot tub.

Couples can tie the knot in The Theatre. It’s one of only eight Grade I listed opera houses in the UK and boasts a 125-year-old curtain depicting Madame Patti on a chariot in Rossini’s last Italian opera, walls decorated with the names of Patti’s favourite composers and space for 120 nearest and dearest.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.

One4all Gift Cards unveils wedding gift trend for Welsh couples

New research from One4all Gift Cards reveals that, above all else, people from Wales believe wedding guests are expected to give what they can afford. Almost half (43%) say this is the most important expectation when attending a wedding.
