Evening Wedding Package Wedding Venue South Wales Craig y Nos Castle

After your wedding banquet, glide through to the evening party room with your DJ ready, lights dimmed and music playing.

Let Craig y Nos Castle wow your guests with its spacious high ceilinged rooms, characterful decor and warm, friendly atmosphere.


When guests stay,
they relax and feel at home,
All guests who B&B
have no need to go home.

Weddings held close to where guests live tend to finish early - as guests living locally will want to 'go home'.  

Choosing a Local Venue ‘near you’, can lead to a disappointingly early finish.  

We are not a 'local wedding venue' – we’re a destination venue!  

Having everyone stay overnight means your day won’t peter out by early evening. You’ll all be partying till late!

Wales on Line Review of Craig y Nos Castle
10th May 2023

"The little known haunted gothic mansion with gorgeous and tranquil grounds you can just lose yourself in...."

Nestled half way between Swansea and Brecon is a stunning gothic mansion which looks as though it has leapt straight off the page of a romantic fairytale book. Built in roughly 1841 on what is now the A4067 between Pen-y-Cae and Glyntawe, and steeped in history, it's no wonder why the impressive building, with its ornate stone facade, .... is why so many couples choose Craig-y-Nos as a perfect yet unique wedding venue, using Adelina Patti's grand theatre for an unforgettable ceremony and the country park for a breathtaking photo opportunity.  read more..
