The best day of our lives

We held our wedding here on the 7th May 2022 at the Via Julia Suite and The Chairmans Marquee for the wedding breakfast. What can I say! The best day of our lives! After 2 postponed dates due to covid we finally had our big day almost 2 years later. Our wedding coordinator Olivia and Sophie who was present on the day, have been absolutely 1st class. The views are outstanding! The food, venue, cars, drinks package, caterers, management and bar staff were all superb. People are still talking about it 6 weeks on! If you are thinking of booking your dream fairytale wedding at the Celtic Manor, don't hesitate!

Completely faultless

Everything that day was completely faultless, and to this day we both agree that we wouldn't change a thing if we had to do it all over again. The timings all ran smoothly, the venue was dressed exactly how I visioned it. The food (as always) was incredible, and guests to this day comment on how delicious it all was! Our photographer captured the most beautiful photos within the venue surroundings too, we literally cannot find fault with anything, because Bethan listened to our needs from the beginning and made sure she delivered, and that she did!

Nothing compared to the luxury

Celtic Manor is a stunning venue with great scenery, which was perfect for photos. The venue caters for large amounts of people which was great for us as had a large guest list for the day and night. We did look at other venues but nothing compared to the luxury of the Celtic Manor.

A cut above the rest

The Celtic Manor really is a cut above the rest and you can tell this especially when you visit other wedding venues. It has the entire package. The staff are all so well trained, I had every faith in my Wedding Co-ordinator (Bethan Davies) and this meant a lot when choosing my venue. The Caernarfon Ballroom was out of this world. It was breathtaking! We also wanted to choose somewhere that we knew we could have lovely photographs, the grounds are beautifully kept.
