Caer Llan were Fantastic!

We got married in Oct ‘24 and cannot be any more grateful for how amazing the team at Caer Llan were! The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, the food throughout, the organisation, the rooms, the incredible views… We couldn’t fault anything! What really surprised us was how engaged the owners Vicky and Jake were throughout the whole stay. They were always on hand to ensure a smooth journey every step of the way. They are both very professional, reassuring and friendly. We knew we were in good hands with them which allowed us to relax and enjoy our special day. We would highly recommend Caer Llan to anyone wanting their wedding day to be the best day ever! Many thanks to Vicky, Jake and the Caer Llan team! Lots of love, Mark & Zan xx

Amazing festive wedding!

We could not recommend Caer Llan enough! We had our wedding weekend here 30th nov 2024 and we simple had the best time we could have ever imagined! Vicky & Jake are simply wonderful, from the moment we were invited in when first visiting it felt like the perfect venue to have our wedding day. Throughout the whole process contact with Vicky was quick and nothing was too much trouble, they really go above and beyond to make everything perfect. We had two nights stay at Caer Llan and even then it was not enough time to really take it all in, the view is truly spectacular, the food is amazing and guests are still talking about it, and Vicky & Jake really do make you feel right at home. The bedrooms are perfect, super comfortable and spacious, their team of staff are great, especially the bar staff that will stay to chat and serve you as long as you're up whatever the time! There really isn't anything more we could've asked for to make this the most special day at Caer Llan!

Beautiful wedding day!

We had the most wonderful wedding day at Caer Llan. Vicky and Jake are the most amazing hosts, and the location is just stunning!
From the first meeting we just felt relaxed that everything could be taken care of, nothing was too much trouble. The Twilight package was ideal and all of guests said it was the best wedding they had been to. Thank you for making everything perfect x

To the Caer Llan team

When my wife and I saw Caer Llan whilst browsing websites, its beauty was instantly striking. The fantastic architecture, the outdoor spaces, and of course the view, were all apparent. What we didn’t plan for, and what won us over immediately, was the warmth, care, and passion that Vicky, Jake and the whole team show for what they do. Everyone ensured that our wedding day was one that we looked forward to with minimal stress, and one that we’ll look back on with fondness and gratitude that we managed to find a place so perfect.

For those wondering about logistics: the rooms are spacious and comfortable, each with their own private bathrooms and flexible sleeping arrangements for whatever combination of guests you may have. The food was excellent (we had the Friday cold buffet, breakfast both days, a wonderful wedding breakfast with generous portions and the evening barbecue, which was worth paying the extra for in our opinion), and the team are very accommodating for allergies or dietary requirements, no matter how niche. The outdoor space is plentiful and peaceful, with plenty of opportunities for stunning photos.

To all the team at Caer Llan: please keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s something so special.

Shelley and Steve 19.12.2024.

Just to echo my wife's words on what an amazing set up Caer Llan have. In the run up to the big day all we wanted was to wake up the following day and look back think 'wow'.....and we did, and so did everyone else. The comments, texts and calls we have had since about how amazing the day was and how amazing Caer Llan itself was is a testament to what the team there do to make your day as unique as you want while still keeping in mind it's a wedding and a party! We cannot thank Jake, Vicky and the team enough and all the guest were so complimentary of them all as well. All we want now is for someone we know to get married there so we can go back! Caer Llan, you will have a place in our heart forever ❤️

The best day!

Vicky and Jake have been amazing from the start all the way to the end. I can't wax lyrical enough at their professionalism and homeliness during the entire process. It was honestly like we were being taken care of, like family. Their suggestions were spot on, the meals were well rounded and they were always around to troubleshoot when needed without being overbearing. Most of our guests were from abroad and everyone loved the view, the food, the comfort and safety of the venue and the general awe surrounding Caer Llan.
As a bride, I didn't have a thing to worry about. Everything was discussed in advance and everyone was in the right place at the right time. It was a relaxed day. I couldn't have asked for more. It was a blessing to celebrate our big day at Caer Llan surrounded by family and friends.

The Best Venue you could ask for

We knew as soon as we drove up to Caer Llan on our first visit, that it was our wedding venue. Obviously with the most incredible views, but Jake & Vicky being the most welcoming owners just makes the place what it is.

We had the time of our lives from the night before right up until we sadly had to leave the morning after the wedding. It was like being in our own wedding bubble having the place to ourselves. Vicky, Jake and your whole team were amazing from start to finish everyone commented on how welcoming and helpful you all were. We can not thank you enough for everything you all did to make our wedding day so special.

From the out of this world food, to the sing along around the piano you made everyone feel at home and like we were surrounded by friends not suppliers. You can truly see the effort you put into making Caer Llan the best venue.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a huge part of making our wedding this most special day of our lives. Caer Llan will alway hold a special place in our hearts.

Caer Llan is truly a magical wedding venue. We had the most incredible 2 night wedding package and enjoyed the most memorable and special time. Jake & Vicki could not do enough for us from the start. They are professional, experienced and made our day feel so personal; it could not have been more perfect. A stunning location, delicious food, fantastic range of drinks, fabulous rooms, the best staff...we just wished we could do it all again! Book your big day here and share in the magic. 💖

Our Wedding Day

The most perfect wedding venue ❤️

A big thank you to Jake, Vicky, Jodie and all the Caer Llan staff for making our wedding day so special.

All our guests have commented on the stunning views and the amazing food. Caer Llan is such a personal home from home environment and our day was just so chilled (exactly what we wanted).

Vicky was so amazing on the build up to our wedding, answering all my email questions and allowing us to visit several times. On the day, both Jake and Jodie made everything run so smoothly and effortlessly.

Caer Llan will now always hold a special place in our hearts and we are so so glad we chose to get married here ❤️

The most magical wedding

Thank you just isn't enough to express our gratitude for all the work you and the whole staff did for us and our guests. Our few days spent with you were some of the best we've had and I know from the feedback of our guests, that feeling is mutual with many saying it was the best wedding they had been to. The location of Caer Llan and the attention our guests and us received was absolutely key to that success, so thank you. I'd happily do the whole thing again!

A day loved by us and every single guest

We can't recommend Caer Llan enough!

Everything was perfect from start to finish - Jake & Vicky were incredibly helpful from the very start of our planning through to saying goodbye.
They made our special day so much more special than we could have ever dreamed of. Every request we had they obliged and even had plenty of suggestions too which were all very welcomed.

The food was incredible, all of the guests raved about it. The staff were all friendly and the bar man, Chris, was so kind and accommodating.

We wish we could do it all again and we wouldn't change a thing!

We loved Caer Llan

I'm not sure where to even start but we loved having our wedding at Caer Llan. Jake and Vicky were so lovely and helpful throughout the planning of the wedding and the day itself and provided the perfect day, nothing was too much of an ask.

You will blown away by the stunning view! The food is excellent and there were lovely rooms available on site for our wedding parties and families.
This was the perfect venue for us, it felt intimate and totally personal. We could not recommend this place enough!

Caer Llan is absolutely unforgettable!

We simply had the best day of our lives at Caer Llan, with the most attentive and generous hosts we could have asked for. It's so much more than a venue, it's an experience, all the additions of the day could not have been so super without it.

Months on, our friends still say the wedding was the best they had been to because of the atmosphere and the stunning views. They said it felt like a summer party abroad! The venue just made everyone relax and have fun.

Vicky & Jake are phenomenal at what they do and making everyone there feel like a friend. They are always close on hand and communication was spot on the whole way from booking Caer Llan to the morning after the wedding. They covered all bases and we really felt like we were in safe hands and could enjoy the day.

Having the wedding breakfast outside was so beautiful it was surreal, and walking around the grounds with our photographer was another highlight as it's so lovely and well kept. The food was so tasty and everyone's needs were met, even the evening food was so good one of my friends asked me if we could go back for a party someday just for the BBQ!

Caer Llan is so reasonably priced and all costs are transparent from the outset. It knocks the spots off some other venue prices in South Wales that we looked at, without compromising quality or experience.

When you're at Caer Llan for your wedding, you feel that exclusivity and that you are somewhere really special, away in nature with your nearest and dearest, well fed and comfortable - what more could you want from a wedding!

The perfect venue for us

My husband and I got married in Caer Llan in February 2023, and honestly we couldn't have chosen a better venue for the amazing over all experience we received. Right from visiting for the first time, Jake and Vicky were so attentive, always on hand to answer questions and provide support, and really made us feel at ease if we had any worries. Vicky even sat us down the night before the wedding to do a proper run through of the day, which helped us so much. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and you can't beat the views of the Monmouthshire hills that you get from the balcony. The food was incredible and very reasonably priced, the bar staff were lovely, the accommodation was brilliant and all of our guests loved being able to stay over the night before the wedding as well as the night of. Caer Llan was our first and only choice - we didn't want to visit anywhere else after seeing Caer Llan because to us it was just perfect.
