You will need 25 guests staying overnight paying £75 per person B&B for their en-suite accommodation (based on two sharing a double en-suite) to qualify for the Weekday Wedding Package, with a minimum of 50 Day Guests at your wedding.
If you are unable to get many guests to stay overnight, see our Ultimate Wedding Package. This does not require many overnight guests and is aimed at larger, 'local' weddings, where guests are within an hour's drive of the castle, so most won't stay the night.
Rates includes exclusive use of the function / public rooms listed in the chart below.

We know our rates are highly competitive. If you find a similar quality and size of wedding venue offering a broadly comparable deal or package, including exclusive use, at a lower rate, we will look to match their rate or deal for any year up to 2024 inclusive. The competing venue must be a comparable venue, not for example some pub offering a room for hire with sandwiches - which we would not bother to compete with!

Last Minute Wedding Package
______________________
There are two savings charts below, to compare the Last Minute Wedding Package against our Regular Tariff and our Wedding Packages.
The Regular Tariff is rarely chosen by Couples as the Wedding Packages offer much better value. Each wedding package removes or saves on venue hire by having Couples fill some bedrooms with their guests. We make up on B&B what we lose on Venue Hire. This formula is so popular that twice as many Couples now choose Craig y Nos Castle compared with five years ago.

The above saving is almost £4,000 saved over regular tariff, mainly due to the free venue hire.
The second comparison chart below compares Last Minute Wedding Package for 50 guests against our Saturday & Friday Wedding Package and our Midweek Wedding Package.
We've added many extras - Welcome Drinks worth £5, Canapes worth £3, Welsh Cakes worth £1, and the £10 discount on the 3 course Wedding Breakfast - to the Last Minute Wedding Package.
We saw more midweek weddings in 2018 - 2020 over previous years as the demand for smaller weddings increased. Also more weekend weddings at 70-80 guests instead of 100 plus. So there's a trend to smaller weddings. This can increase cost per guest, where venue hire is high, as the venue hire is split over fewer guests. Before COVID postponements, in 2020 we had 60 midweek weddings booked (including some Last Minute weekday weddings and 31 Sunday weddings) compared with just 16 weekday weddings in 2017 - a four fold increase. Sundays are now seen as a 'weekend date' and are very popular, also we count Sundays on 'midweek' terms. Half our Couples now choose midweek / Sunday weddings.

We've improved our Last Minute / Winter Wedding Package to encourage more Couples to choose a Winter wedding. Winter weddings are excellent value though the increase we saw in 2020 first quarter (from 17 in 2017 first qtr to 36 in 2020 first qtr) has dropped back markedly post COVID, due perhaps to fears of the virus being worse in winter. 2023 first qtr looking very empty at moment so we are offering Last Minute terms on this period.
