1. Straightforward Simple Pricing / Best Possible Price
All 2025 Friday Weddings are now £5,000 for 50 day guests & 75 evening guests and 2025 Saturdays are £6,000 for 60 guests day and 85 evening guests (saves £3,000).
Friday 2026 Weddings - £9,000 for 60 day guests and 85 evening, and 2026 Saturday Weddings - £10,000 for 70 day and 95 evening guests.

2. Budget Realistically!
For any Wales Wedding Venue, you'll likely budget £5-10k in 2025 and £10-15k or more in 2026.
Assuming 50 guests, allow £5,000 for the wedding reception, wedding banquet, venue hire, drinks package, and evening buffet, ceremony room etc on a 2025 last minute deal, or £9-10,000 for 60-70 guests in 2026. Add £5k for Suppliers: Registrar, Wedding Photographer, Wedding DJ, Decor / Florist, Wedding Cake, Rings, Wedding Dress & Clothes hire, etc.
3. Blink and it's all over!
A year or more can go into planning/ budgeting for your Wedding Day. All your preparation and investment and suddenly your wedding day arrives! Only for you to find 'it's all over in the blink of an eye'. Couples say afterwards, "We wish we could do it all again - it was all over so fast".
To make your Special Occasion with your new family and all your new relatives really last, we say, "Make a full weekend of it".
Why settle for a 'blink and it's gone' one day wedding like everyone else? You're special! Book a £35/ head evening meal the night before. Make yours a two day weekend wedding where everyone arrives leisurely the day before.
Enjoy an informal supper in the castle on the eve of your wedding day. Means no rush getting to the venue on your wedding day. Settling everyone in to their rooms the night before makes a castle wedding so much more relaxing for you and your guests.
4. We're on A4067 - SA9 1GL
Our Post code is SA9 1GL. Check our location on a route planner/ sat nav before viewing. We are in Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales. Our Phone number is 01639 731167. You can book a viewing here.
5. We're a 'destination wedding venue'
Read what a Destination Wedding Venue is here. Your guests will want to stay overnight and make a weekend of it. We can sleep up to 100 guests - enough accommodation for all your wedding guests.
6. Most Couples will happily spend £3,000 more...
...on their wedding venue than they need to.
Couples often don't realise what some venues really charge until the extras get added on. We even get Couples who say they got carried away booking at 'another venue', coming to us once they realise the savings we offer (often at the expense of losing their deposits at the other venue).
So our message to you is: view Craig y Nos before you get tempted by anywhere else!
If you're not like 'most Couples' you'll find our 2025 wedding packages are very competitively priced, with no hidden extras being added later!
