Reviews for Caer Llan
Wonderful venue and a lovely day
Alicia and Stephen
Exceptional
Jake and Vicky are simply exceptional. Their calm professionalism, warmth and genuine care shone through every stage of the planning process and on the day itself. Nothing was ever too much trouble and their attention to detail meant we could relax completely and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in safe hands. They anticipated things we hadn’t even thought of and made the whole experience feel effortless.
The wider Caer Llan team were equally amazing — friendly, attentive and seamless in everything they did. From the smooth running of the ceremony to the reception and evening celebrations, everything flowed perfectly. Our guests commented repeatedly on how well looked after they felt and how welcoming and inclusive the atmosphere was throughout the day.
Caer Llan is not just a beautiful wedding venue; it is a place run by people who clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the couples they host. The breathtaking views across the Monmouthshire countryside provided an unforgettable backdrop to our few days and the food was exceptional, beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by us and our guests alike. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more supportive, thoughtful team to celebrate such an important day in our lives.
Thank you to Jake, Vicky and everyone at Caer Llan for giving us the most incredible wedding memories. We will treasure them forever.

Carol and Jules dog friendly wedding
Vicky and Jake made the wedding planning easy. The day itself ran seamlessly, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day. The food was incredible and the team were genuinely caring from start to finish going above and beyond. One of the biggest highlights for us was how dog-friendly the venue is—it meant everything to be able to include our dogs in our big day. The natural beauty of the surroundings along with a stunning building created the perfect wedding backdrop, an unforgettable setting which made our wedding day feel magical from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, outstanding organization, and a warm, professional staff who truly care about your experience, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding day.
The Perfect wedding
It is run by a family team. Vicky and Jake made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived to see the venue. We absolutely loved our day, and like all couples say, we would do it again in a heartbeat. We wouldn't change a single thing as it was simply perfect. We are still hoping to return for a family celebration, as my family felt the same magic too.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an exclusive experience this is for you.
Our Happily Ever After
We wanted an intimate wedding celebration with our closest friends and family and chose the two night option. It was without doubt the right choice and all of our guests felt at ease and the various bedrooms and communal spaces accommodated our guests of all ages to relax and feel at home throughout their stay. The younger guests were occupied in the family room and made full use of the amenities where close by, the adults could relax and enjoy their stay in the bar and main room. The night before the wedding was truly a celebration in itself, it brought everyone together and we could really relax, eat, drink and be merry with our loved ones ahead of the big day!
We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony (Vicky had always reassured us that we could decide on the day for an indoor or outdoor ceremony) but the Great British weather had other ideas and this made our day even more magical. I will always remember me and my bridesmaids giggling on the balcony of the bridal suite with wet feet and champagne in hand! And as newly weds wandering hand in hand through the lush grounds under umbrellas. We wanted a romantic feel to our wedding and that is certainly what we got and will remember forever. The large canopy provided shelter for our confetti shots and family photos plus the little ones in attendance had a great time playing under the gazebo with the evening food also being served outside.
The dedication of Jake, Vicky and their hard working team in turning the venue around throughout the day is extraordinary, and was widely noticed by our guests. The transformations from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast through to the evening party was phenomenal! Their attention to detail makes everything feel so special and each time it was like you were in a completely different room! The welcome buffet on arrival through to our last breakfast before departure was outstanding and all of our guests have commented on this!
Jake and Vicky worked collaboratively with our suppliers and for some it was their first time at Caer Llan. Their support was really appreciated. Rhys would personally like to thank Jake for helping with the music & seating on the morning of the wedding. Jake stepped up, supported the groomsmen and brought a calmness to hopeless men!
From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Jake, Vicky and all of their team for making our day so special and personal to us. Your home really felt like ours for the entire duration of our stay and that was exactly how we wanted it to be, an occasion we, our families and friends will never forget.

P.S We’ll forever remember your anniversary!
A truly amazing wedding experience
This venue made our wedding so special in every single way we could have imagined and more!
Vicky and Jake who own and run the venue did their up most in every way to make the weekend run smoothly and keep everyone comfortable, from visiting the venue beforehand, the whole planning period up to the wedding, liaising with our chosen band, florist, make up artist, ect and accomodating our plans on how we wanted the day to run. We really couldn't have felt more looked after and cared for!
We very much enjoyed the family feel the venue had compared to the many cooperate 'one in, one out' venues, and the pride Vicky and Jake take to make this such an exceptional experience for everyone is really special.
The grounds and views are absolutely stunning and the ability to host an outside wedding was great. The accommodation was spotless and the food was delicious and well presented at every meal.
Being able to create a weekend wedding was lovely as not only did it mean we could spend time with all our guests without it feeling rushed but we got to relax into the weekend and it felt like a break for everyone on site.
All of our guests have since commented on how special the venue was and how well looked after they felt by our wonderful hosts who were always on hand if needed.
Vicky and Jake thank you so much for all your hard work, your quick replies to emails, your ability to solve any potential problems, and guiding us through our special day every step of the way. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same anywhere else, you turned our dream into reality and made it 'ours'.
You have left us both speechless and we can't thank you enough!!!!
Best venue for a wedding weekend
You’re a bag of nerves knowing this is the most important weekend that you’ve planned 2 years for, you’re immediately greeted by smiling faces and are put completely at ease from the start ✨
The venue is “fairytale” picturesque and the team worked perfectly and so hard to make sure everything we pictured for our day was carried out smoothly without issues.
Nothing ever seemed to be too much, Jake, Vicky and the team was available whenever we had questions and the team worked perfectly to make sure everyone who attended through out the weekend was taken care of.
All the food was delicious and all dietary issues were taken care of. Highly recommend the Indian street food option as the evening meal!!
We left very knowing we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend 💕
thank you, thank you, thank you!
Our perfect day!
Our decision was made within minutes of entering the door and meeting Vicky and Jake. Both were great on communication in the build up and despite however many weddings they hold through the year, you'd be forgiven for thinking yours was the only one.
The venue is beautiful. We were fortunate to have outstanding weather which made our outdoor ceremony particularly special. The venue is flexible though and should storm clouds gather on the morning of the wedding, an indoor ceremony room is set up with the same views over the stunning Welsh countryside.
The accommodation here is lovely. To utilise it to its full capacity you will need to use every bed in every room which means if you're working on 2 people per room, you'll need to be selective on who you invite to stay as you'll run out of rooms fast. For our small, intimate wedding this was perfect and all our family and closest friends were able to join us for a buffet the night before the wedding and stay right the way through to after breakfast the morning after.
The staff are great, Chris on the bar provides a welcoming face and creates a vibe of the bar being that of a friendly local pub.
The Chefs are excellent and as well as being two lovely guys, produce some magic in the kitchen. Food was outstanding throughout and this sentiment was echoed by all our guests.
This is a family run venue and all the staff work to make you feel as if they have thrown open the doors of their family home to host your venue, just for you.
This is far from a wedding factory so if you’re looking for a status wedding with 300 guests, Caer Llan isn’t for you. If you are however looking for a smaller, intimate country wedding with personal service focussed on you as a couple and your nearest and dearest; this is the place for you.
Colourful pom pom Wedding
From the moment we arrived, Vicky and Jake set the tone for what would be an unforgettable day. They brought such warmth, enthusiasm, and energy to the entire experience. They made us feel completely at ease and cared for, allowing us to soak in every moment without a worry in the world. Their attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the evening celebrations.
Vicky and Jake's involvement made all the difference. They didn't just coordinate our wedding; they became part of it. They knew how to keep things light-hearted while still being professional, making sure our guests were entertained, engaged, and having a blast. Whether it was helping us with last-minute adjustments or adding personal touches throughout the day, they were always right there, making the experience feel even more special.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the reception. With the help of Vicky and Jake, we were able to create a celebration that was as colorful as it was joyous. The dance floor was buzzing, the food was incredible, and the laughter and smiles never stopped. Vicky and Jake were the perfect hosts, guiding us through every moment while also letting us enjoy the best day of our lives to the fullest.
Looking back, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our wedding day come to life. Thank you both for everything!
Amazing festive wedding!
