...the perfect venue for the best day of our lives and will always hold a special place in our hearts
KJ recommends The Official Craig y Nos Castle. "We got married here almost 8 weeks ago but it was just under 3 years ago that We fell in love with this beautiful castle. It is full of history, beauty and charm and is set in the most breath taking, beautiful welsh landscape! It made the perfect venue for the best day of our lives and will always hold a special place in our hearts. A massive thank you to all the staff at the castle for looking after us and our friends and family on our day and the many months leading up to it. But a special thank you to molly for being so attentive- I sent so many emails( mostly panicking about a small detail) but she always re assured me and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a wedding venue then I would seriously recommend Craig y nos castle!!!!"
