Craig y Nos Castle Last Minute Weddings in South Wales - Pencilling In a Date
Get First Refusal on upcoming Last Minute dates
For FIRST REFUSAL on any dates coming up for our Last Minute Wedding Package, pencil in a date to join our Waiting List.
Pencil It In!
You may wish to book a Last Minute wedding but the date is not yet within Last Minute date range.
Pencilling in a date ahead of it qualifying for the package you want to book, gives you the option to secure 'first refusal' on a date if someone wants to book the same date for a qualifying wedding package.
Last Minute Wedding Packages for a Minimum of 50 day guests (LMWP50) can be booked 6 months in advance.
- Months that qualify for LMWP-50 are shaded dark green on the availability calendars.
With 80 guests, you can book a Last Minute wedding 7-8 months or further ahead (LMWP80).
- Months that qualify for LMWP-80 are shaded light green on the availability calendars.
Months more than 9 months ahead, unless shaded dark or light green, only qualify for our regular wedding packages.
If you want a Last Minute-50 or Last Minute-80 wedding for a date that does not yet qualify for the 'Last Minute' package, you can pencil in a date further ahead.
This gives you first refusal on that date but until it qualifies for LMWP-50 or LMWP-80, as applicable, another Couple could still book a regular wedding package (e.g. a regular wedding package of higher value than your pencilled in wedding) on your pencilled in date.
We would then offer you first refusal to book the relevant qualifying package (i.e. a regular wedding package) on your pencilled in date, or the option to choose another date.
As we would be happier to accommodate both couples, in the event of competition for any 'pencilled in' date, we would also encourage the other couple to choose an alternative date, as it is in the Castle's interest to accommodate both bookings. However if this is not possible, the pencilled in date would be released to the couple offering to book the date for a 'qualifying' wedding package.
A reservation fee must still be paid to pencil in a date.
You cannot 'book' a pencilled in LMWP date until the relevant LMWP package is officially on offer within that month.
If you want to pencil in a date for Last Minute weddings ahead of the Last Minute qualifying date range, then pencilling in a date is the way to go. Speak to your Wedding Planner first, to be sure you fully understand what pencilling in means, then complete the 'Book a Wedding Date' form.
Enjoy a Homely Welcome and Friendly Service at Craig y Nos Castle
