Hotel Wedding Venues in Cardiff

Our experience at Future Inns was exceptional from start to finish. Martin and his team went above and beyond in making our day special. From the very first meeting to leaving the day after our wedding. We chose Future Inns because of the flexibility in the number of guests we could book. We only wanted a small day celebration with a larger evening party. There were no minimum guests or special requirements, anything we requested was supported. The team set up all of my handmade decorations beautifully and I felt so relaxed. On the day us and our guests were treated like royalty and every single thing went to time and plan. We cannot thank the team enough for everything they did. A special thank you to Nolito, exceptional service and looked after us all. His professionalism kept everyone and everything running to plan.

To the whole team, We would like to say a huge Thank You for our perfect summer wedding. The De Courcey’s team guided and supported us throughout our planning and went the extra mile to help with all our wacky ideas of modified cars, shots cart and a tattoo station nothing was questionable. Lewis, Abbey, Rachel and Lucy what a fantastic team you are and made us feel right at home from the day we walked in. We loved every moment of our special day and now im gutted its all over! All our guests were impressed by the gorgeous setting, delicious food and how helpful the staff were from the point of arrival to leaving the next day! We have to give a massive shout out to Ethan and Nic staff members at the venue. What an absolute credit to your team! Best Wishes The new Mr & Mrs Rowlands

Five-Star Wedding Experience – Outstanding Care, Organisation & Love I just have to say, if you are looking for a wedding venue — day, night, or both — and are feeling worried or anxious (as most brides are), please trust me when I say that from the moment we decided to book our wedding at the Village Hotel Cardiff, the love and care we received was second to none. The communication between the coordinator and ourselves was so on point. Every conversation was written down in detail and emailed back to me for checking. A few weeks after booking, we changed our minds from having a full wedding to just a party. My dream had always been Gretna, for the romance and historic tales, and once my partner said, “Well why aren’t we doing that?”, it suddenly made sense. We realised we could still have our evening do at the Village. All of our requests were accommodated — the wedding coordinator, Sue, didn’t miss a thing. We were going to Gretna Green for our ceremony alone and decided we still wanted our party here, but we didn’t just want it to be a party. We wanted our guests to feel like they were part of our wedding — like a reception three weeks later. We still wanted our first dance, speeches, and I still wanted my dad to walk me in and give me away to my husband John, even though we had already married privately with two witnesses in Scotland three weeks before. We wondered with anticipation: could the hotel set the scene, pull off the emotional atmosphere, and give our guests the feeling that they were attending our actual wedding day — minus the vows? On the day itself, from the moment we arrived, Sue was by both my side and John’s side. How is that possible? That woman is a superhero in a suit. John and I still stayed separate (even though he had already seen my dress), and somehow Sue made it all work. She was right there whenever I needed her. I spent the afternoon with my three daughters in a room where we could relax, have a drink, chat, and take our time getting ready. Sue had communicated so clearly with both of us that we always knew what the next step was. Just knowing she was nearby brought so much comfort and reassurance. We also met Kieron, Sue’s assistant, on our wedding day — and he was phenomenal. He got straight into it, made a few suggestions that I could instantly see would work better due to small changes I’d wanted to make on the day, and then carried out his duties with such calmness and excitement. This guy absolutely loves his job. Everything was overseen and approved by Sue — the calmest yet most organised person I know. I was truly in the safest hands. These two together were dynamite. The confidence they both oozed reassured me that everything was going to plan, smoothly and perfectly, and allowed me to fully enjoy my personal time with my grown-up daughters, making memories in the moment. While waiting for the doors to open, my entrance song to start, and my dad to stand by my side, Sue said, “I’ve got you some tissues.” I replied, “It’s fine, Sue — thanks to you and Kieron I’m actually surprisingly relaxed and not feeling emotional.” John had also text me to say he was doing great and couldn’t wait to see me and get dancing. Sue and Kieron gathered everyone and kindly seated our guests. Then my music started. I looked at Sue and said, “I think I’m going to need that tissue.” She was right there by my side, ready ❤️ As I walked in and saw our families, all those beautiful, emotional, nervous feelings I’d had at our actual wedding three weeks earlier came flooding back tenfold. I looked at all the happy, smiling, crying faces and then found John’s — and I was a mess. My dad walked me to him along a red carpet, proud and tall. I felt like a princess all over again. Wow. That moment — and every moment after — was epic. We embraced, full of tears, kissed, and looked around the room as our families and friends cheered and clapped. We moved straight onto the dance floor for our first dance to “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole. The DJ then encouraged everyone to join us. We hugged, danced, and celebrated with our loved ones — it was incredible and far more emotional than I ever expected. Sue then handed the reins over to Kieron to see us through the evening. He did quick checks to ensure guests were seated correctly, especially those with dietary requirements. He made sure they were served first at the buffet, just as I had requested — and everything was perfectly in place. The buffet was incredible — we didn’t even notice it had come into the room. The presentation was beautiful, and everything that was meant to be hot was hot. Guests commented on how delicious the food was and how well it catered for everyone, especially those with dietary requirements. It was exactly what we had hoped for and more. We danced our feet off, and let me tell you — that sparkle dance floor certainly helped. Book it! The DJ took requests from everyone and very quickly sussed out our music taste. He read the room perfectly. Whenever we needed a breather, he’d smash out another hit that pulled us right back onto the dance floor. It was never empty. He was absolutely brilliant — smiling, laughing, and clearly loving every second. The coordinators also allowed me to set up my own activities table for the children. They had an amazing time gluing, glittering, sticking, cutting, crafting pictures, eating sweets, and making happy messes — while the parents relaxed. They also loved the sparkle dance floor! Every moment was timed perfectly: the short speeches, first dance, mother-and-son dance, flowers for the grandparents, and a poem my mum wrote which a friend read aloud about John and me. It was emotional, fun, and unforgettable. We danced, ate, laughed, and celebrated all night. Eventually, Kieron hugged us goodbye and left. I felt so proud of the work Sue and Kieron had done. Their communication, organisation, and attention to detail were flawless — not a single hiccup. The DJ was still smiling, playing our favourite songs, and the atmosphere was electric. It truly felt like we had married in Gretna and flown straight here for our reception — with everyone included. I also want to thank the hotel reception staff, who were so welcoming as our guests arrived and checked in. They were friendly, chatty, and smiling — and it made such a difference. The kitchen staff prepared a beautiful buffet, and everything that was meant to be hot was hot. The presentation was perfect. We left the reception room while guests were still dancing and the DJ was still smiling, and headed to our room completely overwhelmed with happiness. The next morning, all our belongings had been neatly placed in the room we’d used to get ready. I hadn’t even realised I’d left my shoes behind — everything was safe and cared for while we slept. Knowing the team were still working through the night to look after us honestly melts my heart. To the Village Hotel manager: you truly have qthe dream team. Every single member of staff went above and beyond — reception, coordinators, bar staff, kitchen staff, cleaners, security, and DJ. They never stopped smiling. I hope you are incredibly proud of each and every one of them, and that you appreciate them as much as John and I do. Heaven truly sent us the dream team — so please don’t change a thing. Sue and Kieron… wow. What a team. You smashed it. We love you. Sarah & John

I cannot praise the Holiday Inn enough for how they organised and hosted our special day. From the first meeting until the time, we left the day after our wedding, they could not have been more helpful and attentive. Every little detail was thought of, from the big things like timings, setting up, making sure we liked everything before the guests came in, setting up a room to get ready in just so we had more room for hair and make-up, to even having someone ready to pull out my chair so my dress fell right when we ate. Everything was absolutely stunning. They got every detail spot on and the staff we absolutely fantastic. We had photos outside by the trees and they were just stunning. Such a lovely background for it. The rooms are big and spacious, the tables were decorated beautifully, the flowers were gorgeous and the DJ was fantastic and did all the lighting to match the theme. And all this was included with my package. I cannot recommend them enough. It was beautiful. Thank you Holiday Inn, and special thank you to Jenny who organised everything beforehand and Craig, the events manager who was just brilliant and couldn't do enough for us on the day

We really cannot recommend this venue enough. Extremely responsive, very thorough and honestly nothing was too much trouble. There was no need for additional wedding planning services as everything was run to a pre-arranged schedule, and the Llanerch team ensured we and our guests were professionally attended to. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with the vines contributing to the stunning backdrop from late spring to early autumn depending on grape harvest. We had great weather and our guests were able to enjoy both the inside and outside spaces. Accessibility at this venue is also well thought out, with key event locations on the flat, power assisted doors and accessible rooms available, the lack of lots of steps here was another selling point for us as we were mindful of the needs of some of our guests. The pre-ceremony facilities for the bride and bridal party were far superior to other venues we viewed and myself, bridesmaids, flower-girls and our hair/make-up suppliers had a fab morning in there. Food, incredible, we gave our guests a choice for the wedding breakfast and this is something I'd recommend to other couples for a small supplement we felt that everyone could pick something they liked as opposed to lots of food possibly being left over or uneaten and we were also mindful of the time of year for the wedding when we selected our options. Every detail was taken care of and the day ran so smoothly, we are so please we decided to get married here. We wish we could do it all again! Llanerch, you were fantastic.

We had a fixed budget in mind for booking our wedding and venue and Canada Lodge fit the bill. It's a beautiful, peaceful area and the staff are very helpful. We took advantage of the spring deal they ran in 2024, and ended up having so much additional perks added to our package. They made sure everything ran smoothly on the day and I can't fault them for accommodating our wants and needs in the lead up to the day.
