Subject: Booking of regisrars for civil ceremonies
Hi
We have recently had some incidents where we have received Notices of Marriage for couples wishing to marry at Craig y Nos but unfortunately, when we have checked, they have not actually booked the day and time with us. Very fortunately, we have been able to accommodate their wishes.
I also understand from a colleague that you are giving couples the telephone number of the Ystradgynlais office to make bookings with the registrars. The Ystradgynlais office is only open for three mornings a week so can you please ensure that you give them the telephone number here in Llandrindod where we can make the bookings on behalf of the Ystradgynlais registrars. The telephone number is 01597 827468 -
Many thanks, Bronwyn

Here are some of the Suppliers you may need -
Wedding Ceremony Music in the theatre (we do have a Bose system you can borrow but check it can play whatever media you bring and our staff can play it for you as you enter the Theatre and walk down the aisle).
Evening Entertainment such as DJ (a must), or a band, or even a magician to entertain your guests
Wedding flowers (a must)
Wedding Reception Chair Covers. The castle provides red seated Cheltenham Gilt chairs in the Conservatory and blue seated Cheltenham Gilt chairs in the Function Room and Opera House. These are quite smart but some weddings do prefer to hire special chair covers for the wedding reception / Wedding Breakfast.
Wedding Photographer (a must!)
Wedding Toastmaster (a stylish extra!)
Casino (always very popular)
Cards, Wedding Stationery
Musicians including Harpist, Pianist, Choirs etc (Harpist looks and sounds traditional in the castle setting)
Wedding Cake (of course). Click here for a slide show of wedding cake ideas.
Ice Sculptures
Wedding Cars, Horse & Carriages etc (not necessary if staying overnight and ceremony is in Opera House, but required if ceremony is elsewhere)
Oversized Candelabra and / or Candles for tables (10 normal sized -
Wedding Planner Booklet and Tips:
You should also familiarise yourself with who and what you need and when, by reading the free Wedding Planner Guide that is on this website. This is an entire book, so merits careful study when you have time. It will give you loads of tips and hints and help you immensely in planning your day. I do not believe there is any resource quite like this all in one place on the internet. Start reading the book here.
