An Unusual Castle Wedding Venue in South Wales<\/h2>\n

Nestled in the striking landscape of the Brecon Beacons, Craig Y Nos Castle<\/a> stands proudly with its historic towers. Craig Y Nos Castle<\/a> translates as ‘Rock Of The Night’ and is a Gothic castle built in the 1840s. Now fully renovated it hosts weddings and events beside the river Tawe on the edge of the Black Mountain.<\/p>\n

The views are magical which makes for a fairytale wedding day. Just imagine looking out onto the mountains and rolling greenery as you sip on your drink as a newly married couple, it really doesn’t get better.<\/p>\n

The Castle’s Spaces<\/h2>\n

Adelina Patti Theatre<\/h3>\n

Having been owned in the past by 19th-century opera singer Adelina Patti, one of the star spaces for your ceremony has to be the Grade I listed historic opera house theatre. This ornate room has oodles of grandeur and opulence. So much so that you and your guests are sure to be wowed by the incredibly detailed decoration. What a way to start your marriage!<\/p>\n

\"Unique<\/p>\n

The Conservatory & Terrace<\/h3>\n

Allow the breathtaking views overlooking the country park to do the talking on your day. Stunning vistas will envelop you as you enjoy your wedding breakfast, no matter the weather or season. It’s the ideal blank canvas to really stamp your personality too.<\/p>\n

Nicolini Lounge<\/h3>\n

For a relaxing drinks reception, the castle’s lounge and bar area is an ideal mingling space. Guests can sit by the roaring fire on a cold evening and cosy up with a warming tipple.<\/p>\n

Function Suite<\/h3>\n

Connecting to the Nicolini Lounge, the function room is the<\/em> place for the evening party to get started. Plus Craig Y Nos Castle<\/a> can even source a DJ to keep the tunes going late into the night.<\/p>\n

Castle Grounds & Country Park<\/h3>\n

For a slice of peace and tranquillity, explore the castle grounds and get some romantic portraits together. Craig Y Nos Castle<\/a> is also adjacent to the Craig Y Nos Country Park for even more photographic opportunities and views. Wow<\/em>, what a setting!<\/p>\n
