Craig y Nos Castle Wales Wedding Venue - Competitor Price Comparisons
We continually check our competitor's prices and their Wedding Packages so you don't have to
Our research on 2023 rates shows big increases in venue hire. Use this page to compare costs. See effect Venue Hire on cost per head here.
On around 70 guests, many venues charge £2,000 to £4,000 more for a summer wedding than Craig y Nos Castle. This simple fact can get overlooked in all the complicated information on different packages and seasonal rates you collect from various venues.
There is a lot of data on other venues' pricing on this page. Please read this page carefully to understand how we have worked out 'cost per head' etc.
- The key take-away is how 'total cost per head' is affected by 'venue hire'. If venue hire is high, say £2,000 to £4,000, this increases your 'total cost per guest'. On 70 guests, venue hire of 3,000 costs you an extra £42.86/guest, on £4,000, an extra £57.14/guest. This is how you go from around £95 to £100/ guest for a Wedding Breakfast, Drinks Package and Evening Buffet, to a 'total cost' of over £150/ £160 a head - a huge difference if you have 70 guests or more.
- Having fewer guests increases 'cost per guest'. If you've only 50 guests, a £3k venue hire will cost you £60 per guest, a £4,000 venue hire £80 a guest, giving rise to total cost per guest of £160 to £180. On some venues you will find cost per head at £200 - £250 plus. By contrast there are some venues that do not charge any venue hire (as far as we could find) and this reduces the cost per head more in line with Craig y Nos Castle.
Our Pricing Policy.
1. We aim to keep costs for our wedding couples lower than many competitors by keeping what we charge for the wedding breakfast, drinks package and buffet fair, and by reducing venue hire on our wedding packages. We structure our offers so we make more of our income from Guests' B&B and your guests' drinks over the bar.
2. We achieve this on most of our wedding packages by encouraging B&B use by your wedding guests. Your guests fill bedrooms, so we reduce venue hire. Guests staying overnight party longer, drink more. This means the bar does well, and your wedding party lasts late into the night. Everyone is happy.
3. Once you book your wedding, you lock in the tariff you signed up on, irrespective of which year you marry in. Most venues have different tariffs for each year (and we too are concerned about inflation). Different rates for different years make understanding costs difficult. So to keep it simple, we have ONE tariff for ALL years.
When we increase rates, all existing signed up weddings remain on their original tariff for wedding breakfast, drinks package and evening buffet. All 'new' wedding bookings go on to the new rates from the date the rates change.
4. Post COVID, we expect inflation. Wages & costs of supplies will go up. Government money printing and the way the economy is being 'boosted' means there will be inflation. So our policy of charging current year tariffs on weddings 1 - 3 years ahead, is advantageous for you. However your wedding guest B&B rates, bar prices, and evening meals (if dining night before) will go up with inflation. This won't affect what you as a Wedding Couple pay for your wedding meal, drinks package and buffet, as you remain locked in on your original tariff.
See 2022 Competitor Rates Chart. We are only now updating everyone's 2022 rates as the the majority of staff everywhere were furloughed during COVID, then it got busy with weddings. We have some quieter months now to catch up with this. And we are sure seeing some massive increases by venues, with a lot more now charging venue hire, often at quite high levels.
Not all competitors are 'equivalent' venues. As a large venue we do require minimum numbers. Most venues have minimum numbers (not always shown in charts below).
Venue hire can substantially increase the cost per head. For 60 guests venue hire of £2500 to £3500 adds £41.66 to £58.33 per head in venue hire. On low guest numbers, a high venue hire can become almost as much as the main banqueting meal itself. One venue even charges a 'marquee facility fee' (presumably to hire out their lawn and supply electrics) of £13,900, and that's before you hire the actual marquee!
Some people think it is expensive to get married at Craig y Nos Castle. Especially those who come to us for a viewing before seeing other venues. They're then surprised how affordable we are compared to other venues they see. Others who only view 3 or so venues may never even come to Craig y Nos, and so be unaware of the huge difference in charges.
We regularly check our rates against competitors. Whilst it is not our intention to be the cheapest, our rates are generally lower than our equivalent competitors and certainly lower than other castles. Rates have shot up in the two years since we last updated this page.
You'll find many Victorian mansions and some 'castles' like ours. Then there are really grand old castles dating back pre Civil War - genuine Castles rather than Victorian copies - whose rates are higher!

Our objective is to offer Brides 'Best Value'. Our Last Minute Wedding Package rates should be unbeatable. Some venues charge £4,000 or even £6,000 more! Many venues do not publish rates on line so you have to do a bit of searching.
Some competitors may have 'deals' we have not found, or introduce deals after this comparison was done. Some may have extras within their packages we have not spotted.
All Venues now seem to require you to have a 3 course wedding breakfast, welcome and wedding drinks package, and evening buffet. In the chart below we have shown a comparison based on the full package for all venues.
We will not have included any 'last minute deals' introduced later in the year. To verify savings, check if the other venue is offering any 'deals' in the same time frame as our own 'Deals' such as our Last Minute Weddings.
Anyone who finds any inaccuracy in the below, please email martin.gover@craigynoscastle.com with the corrections and I will add updates to this page.

Exceptions:
1. BRIDAL SUITE: Many venues include a free night in the Bridal Suite. We do not unless > 60 guests are staying overnight, though we do on our Last Minute Wedding Package and some of our all-inclusive packages.
2. EXCLUSIVE USE & MINIMUM NUMBERS: We offer exclusive use but not all venues will offer exclusive use or be able to. Any venue offering exclusive use will have minimum number requirements. For Couples looking for lower numbers, we show each venue's minimum numbers. We had a minimum of 50 for all weddings but have raised this to 70 on Saturdays / premium dates, and to 60 on Fridays.
3. SOLE OR SHARED USE: Some venues may have more than one wedding on the same day, or other guests on their premises. Venues with more than one wedding on the same day and more rooms may allow smaller weddings for their second wedding.
4. NO VENUE HIRE? We offer discounted exclusive use under our Packages. Weddings secured on current rates are locked in on those rates. Bookings made now on current tariffs will not pay any subsequently higher tariff for their wedding. When you book you lock in the tariff applicable to your wedding date as it is showing now, as far ahead as 2024.
5. MENUS: Due to different packages and differing numbers it is not possible to compare like for like. Not least, every venue is 'individual' anyway, as are the menus. Venues have different prices for different menu options and you cannot really compare like for like on menus. Some allow 2 or 3 choices of menu or buffet, some only 1 choice. Where there are 2 or 3 wedding menu or buffet options, we have taken the nearest equivalent menu or buffet option to our own.
6. PACKAGE MEANS YOU TAKE ALL THREE ELEMENTS: Most venues offer a 3-course Wedding Breakfast, some offer more courses, and the Wedding Buffet & Drinks Package are both 'required'. A 'Package' will 'require' you to take the three key elements - (i) 3 course Wedding Breakfast, (ii) Drinks Package and (iii) Evening Buffet. This is perfectly reasonable and something MOST venues will require, together with minimum numbers for 'day' and 'evening'. We do find most Couples will want the Drinks Package and the Evening Buffet.
7. EXTRAS THROWN IN: Some venues include extras such as the Bridal Suite, an anniversary stay, and some will add in the Chaircovers, Flowers, a resident Toastmaster or resident DJ. In our case our Wedding Planner functions as a Toastmaster, co-ordinating everything on the day, and helping direct guests. Other venues' added extras will add to their cost per guest rate, making a like for like comparison impossible. The notes section beside each venue below explains where any extras are included in the per head rate.
8. ACCOMMODATION COST: Some include full (required) accommodation use and include the cost of this within their overall venue hire fee. In such cases it is not clear what the venue hire element is without the accommodation part, though it is possible to make a rough guess at 'x' amount per bedroom based on their B&B tariff. Where function room venue hire and B&B costs are merged into one overall venue fee, a comparison like this involves some guesswork to arrive at a total cost per guest including function room hire only, stripping out the B&B costs.
8. WEEKEND AND MIDWEEK RATES & SEASONAL RATES DIFFER: There are differences between midweek and weekend weddings, high and low season, and last minute or winter weddings. We've put more than one line per venue for 'midweek', 'Friday' and 'Saturday' weddings and different Wedding Packages and any offers etc. Not all special offers are included as some are not known about at time the venue's site is checked.
9. COSTS INCREASE: Hotel & Wedding Venue running costs have increased. The increase year on year in some cases is high. Increases in the National Living Wage and Business Rates are substantial, and COVID loans now need repaying! So rates are increasing quite fast with some venues.
10. RATES NOT PUBLISHED: Not all venues publish their rates unless you make a specific enquiry, which we do for all venues with no rates on line.
11. HOW WE CALCULATED COST PER HEAD: There are two columns for cost per guest.
The first, headed "Initial/Guest" is simply the sum of the three columns before it - being the Wedding Breakfast, Evening Buffet and Drinks Package. This is the actual cost per day guest (including the day guests' evening buffet) and should be accurate. However this column can only be accurate where the venue has disclosed the costs for each element - e.g. where the costs for the Wedding Breakfast, Drinks Package and Evening Buffet are all individually itemised within the venue's literature. In a few cases, and in many 'wedding packages', these costs are not shown individually but hidden within a package total, so some assumptions may then have to be made.
The second, headed "total per guest", is the 'package total' divided by the 'minimum number of day guests' which means extras such as venue hire, extras for evening buffet, extras such as free bridal suite in a package, all get lumped into an overall wedding package total cost, divided by the minimum number of day guests for the respective package. This figure is a representation of what you will pay per head, based on having exactly the minimum number of guests required under that package.
The more guests you have, the more any fixed cost elements such as venue hire, free bridal suite and any other extras get divided by a higher number of guests, bringing the cost per head cost down.
So the 'total per guest rate' is only a representation based on the minimum number. You can recalculate the rate per head based on your own numbers simply by dividing your quoted 'Full Package Total' cost by the number of day guests you plan to have at your wedding.
To summarise: many venues include extras. These all add to their wedding package cost. Our "total per guest", is consequently not an actual cost per guest but the cost of the package as a whole divided by the minimum number of day guests required under the package. It includes all the venue's additional elements such as venue hire, if charged by the venue, the DJ, if thrown in, the Bridal Suite, if thrown in, plus any extra evening guests where the minimum required for the evening is above the day guests minimum (the package may have extra added to allow for more evening buffets where the minimum evening number is higher than the minimum day number).
This is why every venue's 'wedding package total' is higher than the number of day guests times the three elements of wedding breakfast, Drinks Package, and Evening Buffet. There are various extras (specified in the notes) uniquely added by each venue to each package. A like-for-like comparison is difficult. Menus, drinks packages, and food quality will be different and each venue is different in what it offers.
The additional elements, typically the Bridal Suite, sometimes a DJ, maybe the floral decorations, or more, are specified in the NOTES section. As you have to pay the 'Full Package Total', we've divided this total you pay for the package by the minimum number of day guests required, to arrive at a "Total per guest" figure.
In a few cases you are required to book additional guest accommodation over and above the 'free' bridal suite within the wedding package and this extra B&B cost is included within the package total. Where we know you must use extra rooms within a package's cost, the B&B element for these extra rooms has been removed from the "Total per guest" figure. In some cases the extra B&B element cost has been guess-timated (where it is an unknowable amount buried within the package total). Where it is a knowable amount based on published B&B rates, the B&B cost for extra rooms above the Bridal Suite has been removed from the wedding package total cost, before dividing the wedding package cost by the number of guests minimum. This give us a "Total per guest" figure without the cost of the B&B rooms. The 'Notes' will show how this has been calculated, if and where this has been done.
| For comparison purpose, focus on the shaded column 'Total per Guest'/ cost per head. 'Total per Guest' is based on the minimum numbers for each package and is representative only. For an accurate comparison, you can use the data in this chart to work out the cost per guest based on your own actual guest numbers. Cost per Guest will decrease the more guests you have, as fixed costs such as venue hire and extras such as Bridal or DJ get divided among more guests. IF VIEWING ON SMALL MOBILE SCREEN - recommend you tilt screen for a horizontal view! 2022/23 rates are showing on this chart if the 'last updated on' date is in 2021/2022 and venue is shaded yellow, Otherwise the old 2019 rates are shown in comparison charts. We have a lot of updating to do as most venues will now be higher than shown on this chart. Old entries were last updated well before COVID. While this is being updated, the old chart for 2019/2020 is retained here | |||||||||||||||||

Buffet oprices range from £27 through £36.50 to £52.00 but we have taken their 'finger buffet' at £27 as standard buffet price, as in all venues we compare prices based on cheaper buffet option. Cost per head in this example based both on the 30 minimum but also on 50 as you would probably go to 50 given hire costs, as otherwise rate per head at 30 guests would be too high. Venue Hire fee for cost per head calculation reduced by 31 rooms by £150 inc VAT - guesstimated B&B rate per room - (£4,650) so we reduce 24 hire fee to extrapolate venue hire (without bedrooms) as follows: (VAT rates vary in 2022; assume 20% for this exercise): e.g. 10200 + VAT = 12240 less rooms element guessed at 4650 as above = 7590 presumed venue hire without bedrooms 9200 + VAT 20% = 11040 less 4650 = 6390 presumed venue hire element without the bedrooms Exclusive use of Bodysgallen Hall 24 hrs facility fee for Main Hall, accommodation (31 bedrooms and suites), all public rooms, main grounds, part of formal gardens.

Top figure in each row includes all the accommodation, netting down to bold figure for (our estimate for) venue hire alone. Prices not found for Drinks Package (which they can quote for) nor for catering. Catering is quoted as 'from £60' for a 3 course Wedding Breakfast provided by external caterers 'A-Zest'. Venue Hire Includes, Ceremony hire, sound system, floral, linen tablecloths, pillar candles, Knot Barn for meal (capacity 180), B&B in Bridal, 15 further double bedrooms, 3 singles. Also has 2 cottages 'to be booked separately'. 'House accommodation' is included which is 18 rooms plus Bridal) so cottages not included. Includes Breakfast next day ' for house residents'. On basis your guests would pay for own rooms, deduct say 20 rooms X £150 for B&B, so give or take £3,000 comes off whole hire fee to get approx cost of Venue Hire alone shown in bold. * We had to make an assumption on Drinks Package which we estimated at circa £20, and Eve Buffet estimated at circa £17, to then guesstimate some costs per head based on a typical wedding of 70 guests. Given the guesswork here, our cost per head analysis is 'approximate'. Cost/guest will reduce the more guests you have the more the venue hire cost is split among more guests. On 70 we should be about right, and not more than £10 'out' either way. | |||||||

Evening Food ranges from £8.50 (lebanese skewers) - 12.50/ head (hog roast) which seems very reasonable, though you might combine a couple of choices for a Buffet. Canada Lodge and Lake is 10 minutes from Cardiff. 5 acres of secluded grounds woodland scenery overlooking lake. Minimum numbers = 60 off peak season, 80 peak season.

Venue Hire: found 2021 prices - could not find later prices but saw a £500 increase 2019 to 2020/21 so I am guessingyou'd add £500 for 2023? Also Add £300 for Ceremony. So I have adjusted hire, adding £800 to 2021 rates to show 2023 rates inclusive of Ceremony room - this is an estimated rate. No Drinks Package found so we've just estimated £19 for drinks. | |||||

A mid-range price of £16.95 for the Manor Buffet is used on this chart. * Meal & Drinks prices are all the same for each year but venue says prices are 2021 rates so may go up for the Meals etc in 2022 and 2023. Venue hire varies by season (as below and as in all the rows here). Each row shows weekend rates top figure, weekday rates second figure, for each season and year. Ceremony Hire is £500 extra so this is added to the Venue Hire total.

They keep their rates close to their chest! Probably due to their higher pricing strategy. Oldwalls Collection is heavily promoted (must have a huge marketing budget), but you will need to view first to get a personal quote it seems. In Jan 2023 we heard they had around 40 weddings booked for 2023, across two venues, Fairyhill and Oldwalls Gower, which seems rather low. However this cannot be verifited. Generally most venues now publish their rates somewhere on their website or they can be downloaded - indeed openness about rates is recommended in the wedding industry generally as people may want to see roughly what a venue will cost before they view. | ||||||

Post box, Cake stand, Linen, Free Bridal suite. Cost per head taken by dividing total package price as quoted, divided by min number 45 day guests (but you get buffet for 8o eve guests) Extra Day Guests = £85.00 (2023) or £87.50 (2024) Extra Eve Guests = £18.00 (2023) or £19.00 (2024) Children <12 = £15.00 (2023) or £16.50 (2024) * The cost per day guest can be adjusted more accurately if we deduct the cost of the evening buffet extras at 35 extras X £18 buffet cost. We do not normally do this but there are a lot of extras allowed for. If we take the eve extras off the package price and divide the result by 45 day guests – on 2023 Orangerie wedding we'd have £5,900 take off the evening extras (£18 X 35) = £630, leaves £5,270/ 45 = £117 per head.

Exclusive hire of venue is £5,000. For our comparision we took Glyndwr suite for both Ceremony (£795.00) and Reception (£750) tho in practice you would use two separate rooms; this gives us a rough room hire rate of £1,545, though the cheapest option would be Cedar room at £455 + £530 = £985 (but capacity only 30). So we are showing the Glyndwr Suite option plus exclusive hire at £5,000. Wedding Breakfast Daffodil Menu £50.40, Hog Roast Buffet £27.30. No Drinks Package as you select from wine list; £30 is a good indicative price based on a conservative selection of wines (assuming 2 glasses/ guest), welcome drink & toasting options, tho you could spend more. Note with exclusive use you also need to fill all 42 bedrooms (about 84 guests to stay overnight). Peak period - minumum guests is 70. Bar closes 11.30 pm. | ||||

| Oldwalls - Gower Ultimate Weddding | 15/02/22 | 10,000.00 minimum to 35,000.00 | Jan 2022: Good Luck trying to find out rates! Upon enquiry our mystery shopper was told: "Cost varies depending on venue, day of the week, time of year etc. Our weddings range anywhere from £10,000-£35,000 depending on what you are considering with your day." | ||||||||||||
| Oldwalls - Mid-Week | 25/10/2022 Update: rates not shown on line. You have to visit to get the rates. However we know of a former employee of ours who is marrying at 'Oldwalls' / Fairyhill. They are paying £24,000 in Exclusive Use venue hire and £70 / head for the wedding breakfast - this being a top rate as it is on a peak season Sat in August. From this we deduce the average weekend exclusive use venue hire alone (before adding meals and drinks costs) for Oldwalls / Fairyhill is £10,000 or more. However you will need to visit to find out the rate for your wedding date. | ||||||||||||||

Between 22nd December & 2nd January venue hire fee is charged as peak summer Saturday rates. Venue Hire fees for 2023 are £200 higher than all the figures for 2022. There is no 'minimum number' requirement here, so we have based the cost per head on 50 guests, meaning if more attend, the cost per head inclusive of venue hire goes lower as hire fee divided between more guests. Includes Exclusive venue and grounds, large Marquee with panoramic view of Gower, Bar marquee, ceremony room, oak beams, fairy lights & candles for your ceremony, star-lit ceiling over dancefloor & bar area, easel & mirror table plan, Bridal suite for Couple & hamper breakfast, Chivari chairs, use of Ocean View decorations, Wooden easel, post box, wedding coordinators, PA system & microphone, Silk floral arrangement stands, cake stand, lace or hessian sashes, table linen, napkins & tablecloths. Wedding Breakfast £57/ head if have 2 choices of each course, or £52/ head if only have one choice of each course offered to guests. Buffet options vary, the buffet col contains the Finger Buffet price (£18) for comparison purposes but other optiions include: Chicken Skewers £14, Chip and dip bar £12, Hog roast buffet £19, Hog rolls £16, Cheese buffet £15, Charcutierie Buffet £19.50, Nachos Buffet £11.50, Boxed burger £14.00, Bacon Baguettes with fries £12, Curry Buffet £20 and finally, the Finger Buffet at £18.00 . *Unusually there is no full drinks package as such. The packages for drinks contain welcome drinks and toasting Prosecco only, at various options priced between £13.00 - £21 but without the wine which is purchased by the bottle. Assuming wine is typically £20/ bottle, with 1/3 bottle / guest in a wine package, so taking a median £16 for the wineless drink pkge, add in wine £7 gives us a guesstimated average drinks package cost of £23/ head | |||||

Minimum numbers vary by season and day of week, High Season also includes most Bank Hol weekends. Includes Chestnut room for ceremony. Three Course Wedding Breakfast, Menu Tasting (for two), Master of Ceremonies, Cake Stand / Cake Knife, LED Mood Lighting, Table Linen incl Ivory & choice of napkin colour, Resident DJ, Bridal room. Optional extras at an additional cost - drinks packages, evening food. As their Package rate does not include Evening Buffet and Drinks Packages, which are priced separately, we have added these in to get the cost per guest and full package cost, which is calculated in each case on the 'minimum numbers' for each day and Season. We took the 'Traditional Elegance' Drinks Package @ 19.50 as representative - comprising Pimms & lemonade with strawberry, orange, mint & cucumber or bottle lager for welcome drinks. Two glasses of wine with meal, glass Prosecco for toasts. Drinks Packages range from £17.50 to £28.80. For evening, Finger Buffet £16/ guest, or £20/ guest for Mexican or Indian Hot Buffet, or Hog Roast £22. We took the £16 Finger Buffet as representative, similar to buffet used in other comparisons. The Mon-Weds allows lower minimum numbers but there is a supplement (in Marquee but not in hotel) of £1500 for 15 guests to below 30 guests and £750 for 30 guests. This does increase costs per head to high levels so we imagine at low numbers you would use the hotel not the large marquee. Choice of Three Canapes = £7.50/ guest, --------------- 05/05/23 Update: Packages less easy to find on line now, but did find Meal only in Marque inclusive of: Chestnut room for Civil Ceremony or Civil Partnership, 3 Course Wedding Breakfast, Menu Tasting (for two), LED Mood Lighting*, Table Linen including Ivory cloths & choice of napkin colour, Resident DJ, Bridal room. Price example (not inc Drinks Package or Eve Buffet): 60 guests 2022/23 Low season (Jan, Feb, Nov & Dex Excl Xmas), £6,000 so so £100 for Wedding Breakfast in Marquee, to which you add Drinks Package and Evening Buffet (maybe allow around £35-£40 for 2023?). Presume these are treated as optional extras? 60 Guests Mid Season (Mar-Jun & Sep-Oct), £6,600 so £110 - then add £40 or so as above. for Drinks and Buffet. 60 Guests High Season (July, Aug, Xmas, Easter & May Bank Hol), £7,200 20 £120 / guest, then add as above. Pricing inclusive of Drinks package and Buffet probably works out same as Packages above. 16/05/2023 note: Check last 15 pages of so of Trip Advisor Reviews on this venue. | ||||||||

Cost per head will of course drop the more guests you have above the minimum level. But: ** There is no evening buffet within these packages. All other venues are compared on the basis of a Buffet being included; this really adds another £20 or so to the cost per head (assuming a buffet is added). We found multiple prices for the same package, with different names, for different date ranges, but could not see a peak summer dates package for Saturdays (so Summer Saturdays may be higher, or not offered?). We presume weekend summer weddings are not really offetred (certainly they are not promoted), in favour of keeping weekends available for a more regular Dinner B&B trade. Their 2022-4 rates are shown on this chart. 02/05/2023: Some More packages now found for 2025 --- For 2024 / 5 Summer Midweek bacon rolls are added for the buffet and so we have: Exclusive use of Pencoed House Estate from 9am, 60 adult guests (minimum), 3 course Wedding Breakfast, Arrival drink of Bucks Fizz, Glass of red or white wine with reception, Glass of sparkling wine for Toast, Standard Linen, Cake knife.

Assuming B&B averaging £200/ room X 12 rooms (rates vary wildly on line from £195 to £410 a room!); we deducted £2,400 from their published Venue Hire fee to guesstimate the venue hire fee applicable specifically to the function rooms (second fig. shown). This is a wild guess as some rooms at this quality hotel may be charged out at more than £200/ room B&B, paid by either you within the full venue hire (first figure shown). or by your guests reimbursing you? Ceremony Fee separate Amount not yet found for 2024 but we did find a 2020 rate of £860 for the Pen y Fan room so have added that to the guesstimated function room venue hire. It will be higher in 2024 but is all we can go on, so 4th Fig is the combined guessed Venue & Ceremony Hire. Cannot locate min numbers this year so assume 75 as per previous years. However the min number may be lower. If so, the 'cost per head' would work out higher due to venue & Ceremony hire being divided by fewer guests. Wedding Breakfast based on standard option, a range of superior options at a higher cost are available. | ||||||

Arrangement is that you hire the venue for a full wedding weekend including its 12 bedrooms sleeping up to 32 guests for 3 nights. Venue hire is £5,560 in 2020 and £6,950 in 2021. If we deduct 12 bedrooms at a guess of £150 each that takes £1800 off the total hire for venue plus bedrooms; that leaves £5,150 for venue hire alone. The meal, drinks and evening buffet cost is remarkably low at this venue, but the venue hire element knocks the per head rate up. | |||||||
St Tewdrics Mon-Weds Jan, Feb Mar & Nov | 15/02/22 | 50.00 | 14.95* | 14.79* | 79.74** | 3,795.00 | 133.95 | 9,376.80 | 70 | Oddly the months to which venue hire fees refer changes each year, making direct comparison between years tricky. This could be a typing errrr or copy and paste erorr as 2025 rates revert back to the same months used for their 2022 rates, while in 2023/4 the months differ slightly,. 15/02/22: You hire the venue and use their approved External caterers (Cleverchefs) - extensive wedding menu choices; e.g. £50 for 4 Canapés + 3 Courses (from St Tewdrics Exclusive Menu). Lots of choice. For *Buffet, prices range from £9.95 chip & dip bar, sausage rolls £12.95, Beef rolls £14.95, Hog Roast (min 80) £14.95, Burger Bar £19.95. We took £14.95 as representative for buffet. Costs are lowish, gives room for upgrading food choices. Exclusive hire covers: St. Tewdrics House, Cariad Suite for couple, Chiavari chairs/ tables, linen, cake stand/ knife, use of bar, In addition 7 Bedrooms charged from £185/ room (2022) or 210 / room (2025) on top, must be used by guests. A lot of venue hire options shown as varies by day of week and season; also 17th–30th December is charged at £7,900. New Years Eve charged at £9,900 (2022). Venue hire obviously adds to cost per head. There is an additional fee of £295 (2022) for ceremonies which we added to the venue hire entries fro 2022. In 2023-2025 the ceremony room is an additional £450 which we show as a separate additional sum before totalling the two sums to get full venue hire figure. * No Drinks Package as such; we created one off their drinks price list basing it on a selection of Prosecco & wine etc (much is sold 'at cost'; quite low prices for a Drinks Package). ** Total cost of food & beverages before venue hire is competitive, due to low prices of caterers. Upgrade options are available but would not add much more than £10/ head. We could not find minimum numbers so have now taken it as 70 (it is probably lower as venue makes its money on venue hire regardless). In 2019 we saw min as 75 day and min 100 night. 20/04/19 we found: "Additional day guests at £75pp & eve guests £15pp. Lower numbers require a "special Quote". Exclusive use, bridal suite on night of wedding, welcome drinks, 3 course meal by caterer, 2 bottles of wine per table of ten, toast drinks, evening food for 100 guests, DJ, Pa systems, cake stand and cake knife. Venue hire seems high, varies according to season/ day of week. Has 8 en-suites sleeping 16." (Breakfast not inc - you order this from the external caterers). 2023/4: Epic caterers external catering provide Wedding Breakfast three courses £55 through £69 to £99 depending on selection. A second set of caterers, Pickled Pumpkin, are priced at £65 for three courses in 2024 and £70 for three courses in 2025 So we based the Wedding Breakfast Menu on the Pickled Pumpkin pricing. * Epic's Buffet prices range from £11.50 - £19.95 per head from light snacks to Lbster rolls. We assumed an average of 17/ head for eve buffet but you could spend more, or less. **Drinks Prices are a wild guess as there is no drinks package as such; you buy bottles individually for tables and toasts. Should be broadly representative of what you will end up paying per head if you put sufficient drinks out fro welcome drinks, table wine and toasts. There are so many permutations with different rates of venue hire for different days of week and different months of the year with the added complication that different years' rates refer to different iterations of day and month. Hence in 2023-2025 years I did not bother with all the winter periods. You will observe quite steep increases in venue hire, alongside a more modest but steady increase in food. Latter is to be expected given current inflation rates in food. The combination of high venue hire and increased food costs is making for quite high cost per head figures in 2025 for this venue. | |||||||

Cost Comparator
- get your own spreadsheet below
Research by Bridebook shows couples now have budgeting at the forefront of their minds as costs drive decision making and stress. Venue seekers are getting engaged faster, want simpler details, and fewer guests. Couples spent 52% more on their weddings in 2021 and nearly twice as much on their venues. So to help you with cost comparisons we have created a simple excel spreadsheet - the 'Cost Comparator' - into which you can load any wedding venues tariff either from the data on this page or directly from the information you gather. The yellow cells are formulas (which you can over-write with data if you need to), and the green cells are where you put the known data (if known).
An example for a Saturday in Summer 2023 is shown below. As rates vary according to day of week, calendar year and season, you will need to decide which day and season and year you want, then enter the figures for each venue for the same date period, to get the comparison to work. E.g. decide if it is a Saturday, Friday or Midweek wedding then enter in the Saturday or Friday or midweek tariffs for each venue, for same year and season, so you get a consistent comparison.

Meanwhile our rates are the same for each year. This is unique to Craig y Nos Castle as most venues show higher rates for each year. We are decreasing the venue hire discount on some of our wedding packages annually, to keep up with inflation and rising costs, but prices for the wedding breakfast, wedding drinks packages and the evening buffets have remained the same since 2018 and are still at 2018 rates for each year going forward currently to 2025. Eventually there will be an increase in the cost of the meals and drinks, but you will of course lock-in the rate currently showing, when you book your wedding, however far forward your wedding date is.
For simplicity, we make it our policy to offer the same per head rate for the wedding breakfast and all extras, for all weddings, for all years. All bookings made now are 'locked in' on the rate shown. This means you pay the same rate for extra guests added later, even if rates are increased subsequently for later bookers.
This means you can book a 2022 - 2025 wedding at Craig y Nos Castle at current rates.
Enjoy a Homely Welcome and Friendly Service at Craig y Nos Castle
