    Magic magic magic.

    Harry and I can't stop smiling and crying and laughing about all that has been magic over the past week. All of which was only made more magical by the Plas Dinam team. Their care, kindness and "nothing is too much" attitude led to us all having such fun. They took care of us the minute we first got in contact. We got to make our wedding our own. The interior and exterior of the house is incredible, but the to be able to also experience the woodland, the stables and every nook and cranny this wonderful venue has to offer was just spectacular.
    A special mention to Katie, our wedding Coordinator. I haven't got enough words to express my gratitude for this beautiful human. She feels like an angel gift that was given to us upon booking Plas Dinam. She was like a fairy god mother in the background that made everything so seamless and easy and made us feel we were constantly safe in her hands! I
    Owe her a lot more than an espresso martini... but I simply wish I could have her as part of my team always. Thank you.

    Everyone has said what an incredible experience it was staying in Plas Dinam, making it home for a few days and those big beautiful walls sharing their history of love with us.

    Best weekend ever

    We booked Plas Dinam with around 10 weeks to plan a wedding, something which could have been stressful (especially with a baby too), but Eldrydd and Lou made the process easy. Lou was always at the end of an email/Whatsapp to answer any queries and give advice, she was amazing and made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning.
    Due to the time of year and number of guests, we held our wedding in the house and it was just perfect. We had an intimate ceremony in the gorgeous drawing room, drinks and canapés in the sitting room and feasting in the great hall. In the evening, the drawing room was transformed into a dance floor with a sound system set up by a great local company.
    The house and lodge accommodated all of our guests over the Easter weekend. The house is beautiful, full of history and extremely well equipped. On Sunday, we made use of the onsite pizza oven which was fantastic and a great way to get everyone involved in the cooking! Tyson was great setting up and demonstrating how to use the pizza oven and the pizzas were delicious, this was a real highlight of the weekend.
    It was important to us that our wedding was relaxed and enjoyable for everyone, Plas Dinam was the absolute perfect venue for this and we wish we could do it over and over again. A lot of our guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

    Organised from abroad, everything perfect!

    I can’t imagine a more perfect blend of professionalism and hands-off management for a wedding venue. They were flexible enough to let us (the couple) arrive a day before the official first night, and aside from a short planning meeting early the next day, the house was ours to entertain with. All the guests could get comfortable and feel totally at ease and we were free to host as we liked . On the day of the wedding, everything for the ceremony, reception, and party was completely organised without any input from us and we could simply get ready for the day. Katie was so helpful and kind on the day that I felt like I had an extra bridesmaid.

    This is of course just on the day - but the whole lead up was equally as wonderful! We wanted an outdoors style wedding in winter and they made everything possible, even to the point of doing things in a way they’d not done before! My partner was always contacting them with questions and requests and they gave him great answers, went above and beyond, and gave us both a lot of reassurance and advice.
    Our recommendations:
    - book the fire pit for an outdoor wedding!
    - book the pizza oven for the night before the wedding and order the dough from the recommended supplier (Andy, I think?)
    - Wild Garlic are awesome caterers and have a lot of experience at Plas Dinam - i think they even designed the stables kitchen - plus they’re as kind and flexible as Katie, Eldrydd and Tyson (i.e. very)
    - The Lodge is great for families with little kids to get away from the main house. We managed to comfortably fit a lot of people in the Lodge.
    - if you’re self catering for breakfast or providing drinks, do a big Morrisons order to the house
    - make sure you get some time to wander round the gardens!
    I’m sure there’s loads more to say that I’ve forgotten, but we honestly had a fantastic time and i doubt it would’ve have been so perfect anywhere else. A lot of our guests said it was the best wedding venue they’d ever experienced and even our dog didn’t want to leave.

    The most magical weekend

    We had our wedding weekend here! I cant even begin to explain our experience. The house and grounds itself are absolutely stunning, it all went so perfectly. We had a pizza party on the Friday night using their pizza oven, Saturday the morning of the wedding was unreal, we went for a walk to the swimming lake and went for a swim, it was glorious. Such a chilled and magical experience. It’s your house for the weekend so everyone genuinely felt at home and when we needed help Louise was on the other end of the phone, she was brilliant throughout the whole process and guided us to the perfect weekend and wedding. We got most of our suppliers from a list they provided with trusted suppliers of everything and there was not one disappointment. Worth every penny, if only we could take everyone back there for our first anniversary 🤗 highly highly recommended!!

    Truly Stunning

    This is a beautiful house that balances space and style with a homeliness. The grounds and countryside are stunning and enable walks, swimming and fun. The morning of our wedding friends were rolling out of bed and going for runs, or swimming in the wild lakes. Others were just clustered around the kitchen table. We married in the woodland which was perfect for us but there are lots of options.
    Throughout the planning Louise and Eldrydd were helpful and responsive. Lots of advice on timing and set up. We used lots of wonderful local suppliers I would also recommend from pastries from Andy's bread ("these are better than in France" was one comment!!) to local chocolate! Our flowers were also done by a lady from the village (Jane).

    Perfect venue - amazing weekend

    We were lucky enough to get married at Plas Dinam in May 2023. We had the most amazing weekend and the venue was perfect.

    From the moment we visited Plas Dinam and started planning our wedding, the organisation was seamless. Lou and Eldrydd were always communicative, really friendly and welcoming when we visited with family. Prior to our wedding and over the weekend itself, they were there to help with whatever we needed, whilst providing the space for us have the day we wanted. We were looking for a venue with flexibility in schedules, suppliers and no-corkage options - Plas Dinam exceeded our expectations.

    The venue itself was gorgeous. We had welcome drinks on the front lawn, our wedding ceremony in the woodland area, a drinks reception on the back lawn and the meal/evening in the stables. The gardens are perfectly maintained, and the scenery is beautiful. The house is well-kept, with ongoing improvements to make sure everything works well.

    We took advantage of the accommodation on site, and had friends and family staying in the house, the lodge and glamping. All of the accommodation was high quality, and it was really special having so many people there to share the weekend. The house had lovely additions - dressing gowns and luxury toiletries in each room - which were really nice for our guests.

    We would like to thank Lou, Eldrydd and Tyson for all of their help to make our wedding perfect. We cannot recommend Plas Dinam and the team more highly, and wish we could have the wedding all over again.

    The best wedding venue!

    We can’t begin to describe how amazing Plas Dinam is! It made what is already a special day even more special. From the rustic setting for the wedding reception to the stunning views of the Welsh hills from the grounds, this venue is truly one of a kind! If you want a wedding where you can truly show your character as a couple and make it bespoke and personal to you, this is the place to be! The Plas Dinam team are so flexible, accommodating and supportive from start to finish and entertained every fun idea we had for the day from axe throwing to a New Orleans style saxophone procession. Lou (the wedding coordinator) is such a calming presence and helped make the whole experience so much fun! We stayed from Thursday evening to Sunday morning with family and friends, having open air cinema showings in the gardens, playing pool in the billiards room and using the pizza oven onsite too, all before the wedding on Saturday. This venue is truly FANTASTIC! We cannot recommend enough!

    Amazing venue

    We got married in Plas Dinam at the beginning of November. It was an amazing venue to get married at. Before our wedding they were very good with communication, answering emails quickly and being very helpful with anything we asked. On the weekend of the wedding, the weather gods were very kind with beautiful sunshine all weekend. Due to it being a November wedding we had planned for everything to be inside, and the rooms at Plas were beautiful and luckily our guests could experience the stunning gardens as well with the good weather. We got married in the great hall, which had enough space for 120 people to be seated. Louise made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the whole day and made for a stress free wedding. The stables were fantastic for our wedding reception and had plenty of space for all the twmpath dancing! Plas Dinam was a great venue, you get the whole place for the weekend and can plan the weekend you way it want to go. we had a very relaxed weekend approach with all of our guests coming and going over the weekend. I couldn’t recommend this venue more.

    Truly the best weekend of our lives!

    We rented Plas Dinam for our wedding at the end of October and couldn't have been happier with the venue itself and the team - they are wonderful!

    Plas Dinam is an exquisite venue. We received several compliments about the house, grounds and quirky stables. Most of our guests hadn't been to anywhere like it and they all enjoyed the weekend (almost) as much as we did.

    The bedrooms and bathrooms are all beautiful - there isn't a bad room in the place and the living accommodation downstairs is extensive and offers plenty to do. The grounds are stunning and we enjoyed walking and exploring (with our dog).

    One of the things we were most grateful of was the ability to make the weekend our own and we were lucky to have three nights there so we could prepare beforehand and recover afterwards. This is something that sets Plas Dinam apart from other venues we had considered that had more than one wedding per week in many cases.

    From our very first interactions with Eldrydd and her team, we knew we were in safe hands. They gave all the relevant information and answered our questions without being pushy at any stage. The team always made time for us, even when they would have had a number of other weddings and events to plan at the same time. Katie was our designated wedding coordinator and she was amazing. She was calm and completely unflappable and gave us an enormous confidence in how the day would run and was there for us every step of the way and she threw herself into any role required over the weekend (helping the housekeeping staff, feeding my dog, finding my spare shoes....absolutely anything she could do to help, she did).

    I can't thank the team enough for what genuinely was (as the title suggests) the best weekend of our lives and I just hope we can return one day. Thank you!

    Plas Dinam Country House's reply:

    Thank you Charlotte, I particularly love hearing how amazing Katie is! Really hope to see you back at Plas Dinam sometime!
    Best wishes

    Exceptional experience and beautiful country house

    The best of the best from start to finish. We had our wedding at Plas Dinam and it was fantastic from start to finish. Eldrydd, Tyson, Louise and team are FANTASTIC. They were amazing to deal with. Plas Dinam is beautiful surrounded by rolling Welsh hills. It’s an idyllic setting. Plas Dinam has so much history and beautiful items in the house. Incredibly, Eldrydd and Tyson are the most accommodating, approachable, flexible and relaxed owners we have ever worked with! Nothing was ever too much trouble. What we loved about Plas Dinam was it was not ostentatious. For example we used the stables for our wedding breakfast. However, during the winter it is used as a stable for the horses. It’s not called the “stables” to stick to a theme or make it sound more authentic. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Lastly and most importantly, there are NO hidden charges. They are fully transparent. What a place. what a team.
