If you’re searching for an unsual and unique wedding venue in Wales, Elan Valley offers an unforgettable setting for your dream ceremony.

Say ‘I do’ amidst the beauty of the mid Wales countryside, with the iconic Pen y Garreg Dam providing a stunning backdrop for your special day.

Elan Valley, located in Rhayader, Mid Wales, occupies an impressive 72 square miles of unspoilt landscape with six Victorian dams. Pen y Garreg Dam, built between 1895 – 1904 is one of the only dams in the UK that you can walk inside.
