If you fancy staying after the party or even the night before to make a weekend of it, there is accommodation at the venue. There is a mixture of cottages and wooden lodges that should accommodate a fair few people.
When you R.S.V.P please state whether you would like to stay and how many nights you would like to stay for and we can then let the owner know how many spaces to reserve for us and who for.
The cost for staying over is between £35 and £37-50 per night, per person depending on whether you are in a cottage or a lodge. All accommodation is self catering, with it’s own living space and kitchen. It’s very nice so don’t worry it’s not the back and beyond with a hole in the ground for a loo. It’s all very well equipped and comfortable.
There is also several B&B’s in Llantwit Major, if you fancy that instead. Or there is a Premier Inn not far up the road as well. Plenty of choice.

The Wedding party will be held at Rose Dew Farm after the food. Evening folks can arrive anytime from 7pm. By now it will be dark outside but hopefully cosy in the barn, there will be drinks and food to nibble on to keep you stocked up for the evening, live music and of course a bar should you fancy a couple of sneaky drinks. There will be plenty of choice alcoholic and non- alcoholic alike. It will be a cash bar though so please be prepared. There is a a cash point in Llantwit Major should you need it.

There is also accommodation on site if you fancy a short walk to your bed instead of the drive home. (More info in accommodation page)

So, that’s everything – food, drink, music and somewhere to sleep, all you have to do is turn up!

So by now we will have all the formalities out of the way and will be ready to let our hair down. The wedding breakfast (that just means the food – it’s confused me for years*) is to be held at Rose Dew Farm, in coastal town of Llantwit Major. The farm is a ten minute walk from the Bristol Channel, which is cool but remember it’s December so please wrap up warm as it’s going to be chilly.

Pre dinner drinks will be served on arrival at the barn from 14:00, I will definitely be turning up for these.

*This has never confused Louise, as she often has breakfast a quarter past three in the afternoon

Our Wedding ceremony will be held at Castell Coch near Cardiff, on Saturday 14th December 2013. The Ceremony start at 12:30, guests are invited to arrive at 12:00. The ceremony will take place in the drawing room, it is very pretty but very small and space is limited, so if you have been invited to the ceremony but can not make it please let us know as soon as possible. If you have not been invited to the ceremony please don’t be too upset, we will see you at the amazing Farmers Barn where we’ll have some fantastic food and a great party and most importantly alcohol.

Update 4th December
Forgot to mention that there is no confetti permitted at the Castell, it is in their terms of contract. Tt says “No confetti or rice of any kind should be thrown either inside or outside the monument.’
