Perfect venue for outdoor wedding!

Halkyn Castle Wood is just beautiful in so many ways. They nurture their site through conservation work and they run wellbeing projects for young people and families in addition to events, weddings and camping/glamping. We got married in 'The Meadow' which is a lovely space with a wooden pavillion for the ceremony, and we hired through the site a double tipi for the dinner and party. Vanessa and the team were absolutely fantastic and very flexible, so we were able to make our wedding our own through various suppliers we chose. Vanessa and her team were on hand to support and help before, during and after the weekend and coordinated brilliantly with our wedding coordinator. Some of the wedding guests stayed onsite that night in Tipis which were very clean and comfortable, it was great everything was in one place! I can't recommend Halkyn Castle Wood enough, our wedding was so beautiful and a lot of that was down to Vanessa and her teams warm and inviting energy in addition to the incredible work they do on the site. I also think Vanessa is secretly Wonder Woman but that's just my personal opinion..
