Tyn Dwr Hall – Llangollen
A Grade II listed country hall set in ancient woodlands, the hall is suitable for both large and small weddings with the Ballroom seating 150 and the Drawing Room seating 45.
There is also the option for outdoor weddings on the terrace, or explore the hall’s bell tower, turrets and grand staircase. The grounds consist of the artfully curated Woodland Walk, featuring some of the oldest trees in Wales as well as a two-tier waterfall.
National Library of Wales – Aberystwyth
One for the book lovers – this is about as far south as we can legitimately claim to be North Wales, but it’s worth bending the rules a little for this bookworm’s dream venue.
An early 20th century library, looking over the town of Aberystwyth and to Cardigan Bay, the venue is licensed for wedding and civil ceremonies. The larger Council Chamber fits 100 guests, while the President’s Room offers space for an intimate 30, both followed by a champagne reception in the library’s central hall.
Walk down the red carpeted stairs, stroll the beautiful grounds, and maybe pick out a book or two – literary fans will go nuts for this location!
