25/11/2024: ❤️ Craig Y Nos Castle ❤️  We had our big day yesterday and it was amazing! I cannot praise Craig Y Nos Castle enough for the experience they have given us!  12 months of having our hands held by the wonderful Michaela; our personal Craig Y Nos wedding planner. You are a star! Had all the answers, no request was too big or too small! Shout out to Sophie too! We had the venue all to ourselves from Friday to Sunday. The food (and I mean ALL the food! Breakfasts, 3 courses Friday, canapés, 3 course wedding breakfast, evening burger buffet) was absolutely stunning! Hot, fresh and so tasty! And so plentiful! The bar staff kept up with all our guests 😅 and gave us tremendous service throughout! All the front of house staff members were so thoughtful of us all and so friendly! Melanie on reception went over and above to look after us. This post doesn't do the service we received justice because words can't express how chuffed we are. Lastly I must sincerely apologise to the lovely cleaners we saw this morning who had to clean up all that confetti! Sully (our dog who stayed at the venue the whole time) took a huge liking to you and you treated him like a prince!

12/08/2024: 12/08/24 11:08 - We've finally had our special day and it was amazing, magical and everything in-between 🥰 I want to do a shout-out to our amazing suppliers - even with last minute cancellations the day before (and on the day 🫣) we still had the best day of our lives thanks to these amazing people.

Venue - The Official Craig y Nos Castle: Beautiful venue with amazing wedding planners that helped us through the entire day. Food was lush and the package was really affordable (with loads included!). Would 1000% recommend.

Dress & alterations - Jewels & Gems Bridal Boutique: Lovely girls that helped me pick my dress by myself, they couldn't have been more helpful. And a big shout out to Vicky for my alterations and helping me make my vision a reality.

Photographer - One Vision Photography: What a lovely man, seriously couldn't have got through the day without his support, professionalism and experience of what happens next 😂 thank you for keeping us all laughing despite the relentless rain. And a huge thank you to the rest of the team who were fab with Isabella ☺️We can't wait to see the photos (the sneak peak from this morning is 😍) ☺️

Make-Up & Hair - Alicia Thorne Make-up Artist & Hair Stylist: STUNNING. Everything was flawless, my makeup didn't move an inch out of place and hair was perfect too. I felt like a real princess 🥰

Venue Dressing & Flowers - The Cutesy Co. Wedding, Party & Events: The flowers were beautiful, everyone commented on how stunning everything was. Such a huge choice of extras to add in it was difficult to narrow it down but with Kath's guidance the whole way, it paid off! The children's corner was by far the biggest hit of the day and there were so many lovely comments how helpful it was to have to keep the kids entertained!

Cake - Boar Valley Bakes: Beautiful cake, with so many compliments. It looked and tasted absolutely amazing! We also had a brunch box delivered to the girls in the morning whilst getting ready which was phenomenal.

Dog Chaperone - Pawfect Pet Services: Naomi was fab with the girls, they were well looked after and we got some amazing photos with them! I know they love having their little holidays, and we've found someone to look after them for all our holidays aswell😅

Illustrator -  claireeluneillustrate Clair Havard: Amazing pictures, everyone loved it and commented on how different it was but a beautiful keepsake of a lovely day. I can't wait to get it framed and be able to admire it everyday

Wedding Nanny - cariad wedding nanny Meryl Kate: Isabella absolutely loved her, she was so good with the children, especially when we couldn't be there having photos taken/sorting the chaos so we will be eternally grateful for that. I'm so glad she managed to go to sleep with Meryl, and was even asking for her the next morning when she woke up 😂 it was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing our little girl was so well cared for. We weren't 100% sure about booking but after speaking to Meryl three days before I'm so so glad we did.

DJ - Revelry Disco: What a hero. No other words could ever thank Chris enough for stepping in at the final minute to save the day. And not only save the day but put on the party of all parties!

Chocolate fountain - ChocCurlicious: Another last minute hero. With a cancellation the day before, and lots of ringing round I'm so glad we were able to find such a professional, helpful and friendly chap. It was a huge hit, I just wish I'd eaten more of it myself now 🙈

Good luck to all you future brides, it's been a blast (but I am sick of seeing wedding stuff now 😅)



09/03/2024: We got married here on the 29th February and it was just magical. We felt looked after from the moment we booked the venue. Sophie really couldn't of done more, responding to all my emails and no question was to small. Our guests loved the venue as much as we did. Really was such a reasonable price too. The website is a lot better then it was a year ago, so much easier to navigate. Thank you so much making our wedding so perfect ❤️ "

Stayed at the castle 5th and 6th of September for our daughter and son in laws wedding. Accommodation was excellent,beds comfy,plenty of hot water and tea and coffee available in the rooms. The wedding planner Michaela was superb as were all the staff at the hotel,each and every person contributed to what was a fantastic day. The wedding breakfast was superb and compliments must be paid to what was a very hard working and knowledgeable chef assisted by his kitchen hands and waiting staff,all guests thoroughly enjoyed. monkey332 wrote a review 13

Stayed here for our daughter's wedding. The room was very comfortable and spacious, lovely clean bathroom and our room had a nice sitting room. The breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay here again. It was the best night's sleep l have had in ages!

Review from Sep 9, 2024 Best weatherproof wedding venue
Helen 5 stars We were guests at a wedding this weekend, the bride was a very much loved family friend, and the castle staff rose to the occasion, their attention to detail was magnificent. The wedding breakfast was excellent and special dietary requirements were well met with the minimum of fuss. The nature of the venue was such that though it rained all day, we didn't feel penned in at all, we had free use of many reception halls, a couple of small boys even staged their own little airshow without disturbing anyone!

Review from May 26, 2024 Beautiful wedding venue
Such a beautiful venue!! We came here for a wedding many years ago although both the meal and evening party were in the back function room, this time around the wedding was in the conservatory which is a beautiful room with a breathtaking backdrop looking over the very scenic wooded valley below, and rocky mountains above. I was a last minute add on to the day and the only vegan which did not phase the caterers one bit. Even with the short notice they were able to offer me several options, I opted for the soup starter, mushroom wellington main and brownie for dessert. All three dishes were delicious and were genuinely the envy of other guests who wanted to know how I’d managed to wangle the alternative dishes! Staff were very pleasant and accommodating 👍🏻

Review 08/03/2024: Fabulous Wedding Experience
Had a fantastic wedding here on 2nd March 2024. After finding out about Craig y Nos' wedding packages online my then fiancee was adamant that she wanted a wedding here. The website can be confusing and difficult to navigate but the staff are easy to contact and answer queries promptly. We chose the Last Minute Wedding Package but found there was plenty of time to organise the details. The wedding planner had a list of recommended suppliers and an excel spreadsheet for the table plan that we ended up using to organise everything (we barely touched the wedding planner book we bought preemptively).

The decor and food on the day was fabulous and all the staff clearly had a lot of experience and were super friendly. The day moved along seemlessly and everything was ready on time. When we had a drinks tab left over at the bar (our guests insisted on paying for their own drinks) the remaining money was refunded without issue. We also had one guest throw up in the courtyard after getting wasted (there's always one) the staff cleaned it up and took care of the guest until they were safe in their room. The week after we had lots of positive feedback from our guests and they were surprised at the high quality for a wedding at a total cost of £12,000. If I could relive the day again I would in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I don't plan on getting married again any time soon.

Review 01/03/2024: Lovely hotel for a wedding venue
We stayed here for a wedding 29/2/2024. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The staff are so accommodating, Wedding venue lovely the wedding breakfast was excellent. We stayed the night before the wedding. The food was delicious. Rooms are nice. The bathroom was stunning. Lovely location for a wedding.

Review 02/02/2024: Beautiful venue.
I had the pleasure of staying here at the end of November 2023 for my sister and brother-in-laws wedding for 2 nights. Craig Y Nos Castle is an absolutely beautiful venue and the staff right from the start were so friendly and attentive, nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I cant praise Kelly, Michaela & Sophie my sisters wedding co-ordinators enough they were never too far away and made sure the day ran smoothly and also Beth the bar maid who ploughed through the crowd when a free bar was announced, all the staff was so friendly it was the ultimate dream wedding for my sister and brother-in-law and they played a massive part in that. The castle was all decorated for Christmas which was so magical, the rooms were cosy and warm including the bedrooms. Breakfast and dinner was absolutely delicious. There's nothing bad I could possibly say about our experience. If I could rate this castle higher stars I absolutely would. Can't recommend Craig Y Nos Castle enough.

Review from Jan 6, 2024 Guest at a winter wedding
We were all day guests for the wedding of Peter and Craig on 30th November 2023 and it was a really beautiful day. The venue is outstanding and the food was delicious. Everyone had such a great time and before you know it the evening reception arrived which was really magical with all of the lights and decorations. The staff at the Castle were very friendly and very helpful. We were very lucky as the weather stayed dry and we were able to have outdoor photos with the grooms. Highly recommend the castle as a wedding venue.

31/08/2025: From: Jess Purchase Date: Saturday, 31 August 2024 at 16:41 Thank you for a lovely day yesterday. It’s a day we’ll always remember. The staff were wonderful and really went above and beyond. Especially Michaela and Sophie, they really were outstanding. Our wedding meal was incredible. Beautifully presented, well seasoned and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Please extend our gratitude to all of the kitchen staff who must have worked very hard on a hot day to feed us. I look forward to hearing from you, Jess

31/08/2025: From: alice lambert  Date: Sunday, 1 September 2024 at 20:11 To: Craig Y Nos Castle <info@craigynoscastle.com>, Subject: Wedding 31/08/24 Hello, We just wanted to send an email to thank you all so much again for our wedding yesterday (31st August). We loved every minute of it and you made such a huge effort to make everything so perfect. The whole castle was stunning and so many people commented on it and the decorations. We've had loads of people say how much they enjoyed the wedding breakfast and they loved the buffet too. You thought of little details we didn't even think of and made it a day even more perfect than we imagined. Thank you all so so much, everyone was fantastic. Ps. Huge thank you to Michaela who drove all the way to Brecon to get the centre pieces back when they'd accidentally been taken by a supplier. The conservatory looked absolutely stunning Alice & Sam x

31/07/2024: From: Gemma Extence <Gemma.Extence@hotmail.co.uk> Date: Wednesday, 31 July 2024 at 09:05 To: Craig Y Nos Castle <info@craigynoscastle.com Subject: Re: thank you. Hi guys, Mike and I wanted to say a huge thank you for making our day so special, and getting everything to run smoothly. Can you personally thank Lisa for all effort she went to to speak to Ana and I. Lisa was so lovely, and I apologise for the misunderstanding that appears to have occurred regarding the rooms for the night before, we must have misunderstood the situation or we caused confusion we all of the changes - either way, sorry about that. Thank you to Melanie as well for rectifying things & getting it all sorted! I was extremely overwhelmed, so really helped. Thank you for both Lisa & Kelly for watching over our little Maia throughout the night & making us feel safe enough to leave her to sleep in the corridor. We hugely appreciate it, it kept us calm & stopped us having to send family members back and forth. Thank you to the amazing kitchen staff, who literally worked magic for me with my dress after the red wine incident! I had people saying that you’d never have known. I’m sorry, but I don’t know the girls names - but they saved me from having a melt down. Thank you all for going along with ok of our crazy ideas, dealing with Mikes seating plans haha, and helping us make our dream a reality. We had such an amazing time, the venue is such a stunning place and we had so many people comment on how lovely the staff re too. Thank you again to you all, The Micsunescus

03/07/2025: From: Nick Kasper Sent: 03 July 2024 10:33 Subject: Matthew and Rihanne Wren's Wedding Dear Sir / Madam, I just wanted to thank everyone at the castle for contributing to such a wonderful event, and making everyone feel so special. The team at the hotel were fabulous,  Gareth the minibus driver was particularly thoughtful and helpful, and Lois served everyone cheerily after the ceremony. These were two examples of tremendous service, there were many others of course, please thank them all on behalf of all the guests. Many thanks Nick Kasper.

11/04/2024: Hey Kelly, Thank you so much to you and all the staff were outstanding and the help and support and still on going we can't thank you guys enough. 😊 We definitely will send photo and more than happy for you to use them everyone had a fantastic time not 1 bad word about anything we are so pleased and happy.

25/03/2024: Hi, Just a quick email to say thank you so much for all that you and your team did for myself and Liam before the day of the wedding, during the wedding and the day after. We have had so many compliments about the food especially the cheesecake for dessert and the beef!  I was wondering if we left any glowsticks there and whether we could have some back as we would like to keep some for out two girls and to give them to my work( I work with children). Thank you again!  Lucy David

Everything about the venue was superb,from the staff to the theatre,the conservatory,food was absolutely fantastic,would highly recommend as a wedding venue,and Michaela (wedding planner) went above and beyond 👏👏👏👏 Rooms: 4/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5

10/04/2024: Louisa McGillicuddy  We got married at Craig Y Nos in November 2023 and it was the perfect venue. The theatre being used for the ceremony room is a truly unique backdrop, and giving speeches from the conservatory after dinner with the Welsh mountains behind you is incredibly atmospheric. All the staff were so helpful, willing to accommodate all sorts of last minute requests, and great to deal with - they put us hugely at ease. All the accommodation being on site really helped create an amazing atmosphere for the whole weekend - and the food was also fantastic. Thanks team!
