There are four Cadw sites licenced for CIVIL ceremonies are unique and spectacular venues for weddings. They are:
Caerphilly Castle (the Great Hall)
Castell Coch (the Drawing Room)
Plas Mawr Elizabethan Townhouse (the Great Chamber)
Tretower Court and Castle (the Great Hall, Upper Hall and the Apartments)
Civil wedding or civil partnership ceremonies can take place at the named areas within the venues, with the ceremony conducted by a local authority registrar. Provisional bookings can be held for up to a month at each site to allow you time to consider all options!
Religious wedding ceremonies cannot be held at any Cadw properties because they are scheduled ancient monuments which cannot be consecrated. However, these venues are licenced for civil ceremonies and may be hired for a wedding blessing or for photographs.
