    Truly no better Venue!

    I wish I could put into (better!) words how utterly amazing Plas Dinam is. Anyone can get married at a stunning venue with amazing views, but not everyone can say they were made to feel so at home with the best team who made the day what is was. The venue team are with you every step of the way to ensure your day goes as planned. You're made to feel like it's a second home and that you're part of the family when you visit.

    If you're considering booking a viewing for your future wedding, just be careful as you won't want to go anywhere else!!

    Spring 2025 Wedding

    We hosted our wedding at Plas Dinam in May 2025, with 40+ guests staying with us in the house and grounds, and 120+ overall.

    The weekend far exceeded our expectations. Plas Dinam itself is very special - it feels luxurious whilst remaining welcoming and homely. We had a huge amount of flexibility with how we wanted the weekend to work and the Plas Dinam team were exceptionally helpful throughout at making it happen. Katie, in particular, was relaxed and confident throughout and it allowed us to just enjoy the weekend.

    For us, the real value in Plas Dinam was the ability to have our friends and family together for as much time as possible. Being able to make use of the house and grounds for the entire weekend (pizza oven on friday, wedding on saturday, long walk, swim and quiz night on sunday) made us feel like we'd made the most of it.

    We're already trying to find another occasion to justify visiting again.

    Thank you again to Eldrydd, Tyson, Katie and the rest of the team.

    A truly magical wedding venue that felt like home

    Plas Dinam is an incredibly special place. It was the first and only venue we viewed for our wedding, because from the moment we arrived, we knew it was the one. We had a winter wedding in the house, and despite the grandeur of the building, it felt wonderfully cosy, warm and inviting. It truly became our home for the entire weekend and so many of our guests commented on that same feeling.
    The DIY nature of the venue was perfect for us, allowing us to create a wedding that felt completely authentic and personal. The wonderful ladies at Plas Dinam were endlessly supportive, always on hand to answer questions and put any planning worries at ease. Their kindness and reassurance made the whole experience even more special.
    Plas Dinam will forever hold a place in our hearts. We only wish we could relive the day again and again.

    Perfect wedding venue

    We recently had our wedding weekend celebration at Plas Dinam Country House and it was everything we had imagined it would be and more!

    The house and the grounds are all so beautiful. The house is the perfect space to entertain and relax with guests (we had 35 staying in the hisuebwirh us and a further 10 in the loft and the lodge for 2 nights and there was ample space). The space felt like a home away from home, so calm and relaxing with so many different rooms to chose from. All of our guests were blown away by the house and its grounds. Lots of our guests (those brave enough in October!) also got to enjoy the wild swimming lake which was an added bonus. The rooms are very generous in size, with comfortable beds and amazing views.

    Plas Dinam is the perfect venue to host a wedding as it has so many different spaces to hold your ceremony and drinks reception. As we were getting married in October, we chose the Great Hall for our ceremony location and it was perfect and felt so intimate even with 96 people in the room! We then had our wedding reception down in The Stables which was stunning. You are free to style and decorate the room as you wish which makes each wedding feel so unique. We also loved that the dance floor was off to the side of the main stables and ample space for a photobooth without having to move any of the tables.

    We really cannot recommend Plas Dinam enough and would like to say a huge thank you to Lou, Eldrydd, Tyson and the rest of the Plas Dinam staff for making our weekend so special.

    Just book it - you won't find better.

    TLDR: when we first saw Plas Dinam, we read a review that said something like “if you’re reading this: stop looking at other venues and just book Plas Dinam, you won’t find better!”. We dismissed this advice until it became obvious that it was - quite simply – the truth.

    Plas Dinam was, by chance, the very first venue we came across when researching our wedding. We did not realise quite how special it was until it slowly dawned on us as we catalogued another hundred or so venues, none of which came anywhere close!

    We were fortunate to find a weekend gap in their almost fully booked calendar – in August 2025 – that all of our close family and friends could make. Although this gave us only three months to plan and prepare, from our first conversation with Katie, Plas Dinam’s unflappable wedding coordinator, we were in excellent hands.

    All of the people we worked with at Plas Dinam and beyond – from the dedicated suppliers to the landlady of the local pub (The Lion Inn) – were really and truly lovely: patient, helpful, generous and fun. The planning process could have been daunting and stressful – there’s a huge amount to think about and organise for a multiday wedding – but it was a genuine pleasure.

    The actual wedding was like a dream (a really good one!). The house and grounds are as magnificent as they look in the photos, but also cosy and homely - like a huge sleepover with all your best friends. The house team quietly kept the wedding running smoothly, around which we – and our guests – had so much freedom to do the things that felt meaningful and fun for us.

    People cautioned us, from their own experience, that our wedding would pass in a flash, but to us it felt like time had been paused. From our over-excited arrival on the Friday, to our bleary-eyed departure on the Monday, lifetimes had passed in which all of the people we know and love had somehow become one big group of friends. I think that is the magic of Plas Dinam. If you have the chance to experience it, do so!

    We would also wholeheartedly recommend any and all of our wonderful suppliers:

    Cutlery and furniture: Tipples
    Decorations: Megan & Claude
    Sound & lighting: Jake Evans
    Photography: Laura Power
    Wedding caterers: Wild Garlic
    Ceilidh and wedding band: Gypsy Roques
    DJ: Mike Shuvalov
    Childcare: Plas Dinam’s in-house team.
    Sunday caterers: Let’s Go Street Food
    Sunday band: Gypsies of Bohemia

    Perfect wedding weekend venue

    Plas Dinam was an incredible venue for our summer wedding in August. We had high expectations leading into the weekend and it exceeded anything we ever imagined. I think we used every inch of the grounds across the 3 days we were on site with a welcome BBQ under the stretch tent, wedding ceremony in the woodlands, speeches under the trees, reception in the stables, and farewell lunch on the side lawns.

    Our guests absolutely loved staying on site, and the house, glamping tents and everything the grounds had to offer were impeccable. Eldrydd, Tyson, Katie and all the Plas Dinam staff really made the day feel magical and run smoothly. If you're looking for a beautiful yet relaxed environment for a wedding or family weekend away, we could not recommend Plas Dinam enough! There is so much the property and grounds offer to truly make the weekend your own, which we love. Thank you so much!

    P.S. Make your own pizzas using the pizza oven and the fire pit on the night of the wedding were real big hits! Highly recommend adding these on to your weekend. Plas Dinam also have a lovely list of suppliers who we loved working with to bring our wedding dreams to life.

    Complete perfection!

    Let’s start with: WOW! From our first viewing, to our extended wedding weekend, Plas felt like a second home. The house itself is stunning, with SO much space for guests to relax, explore and have fun. We arrived on Thursday and hosted some intimate drinks in the lounge. On Friday our guests enjoyed swimming in the lake, followed by a yoga class, and then a pizza party in the evening - all unforgettable memories!

    Our wedding day on the Saturday was absolutely magical and couldn’t have been done without the help of the brilliant Lou! Our ceremony had to be moved last minute due to some light rain, but it was no problem at all for the team, and in the end we loved that we were able to use the stretch tent, which felt lovely and intimate even with our 150 guests! In the afternoon and evening we had the most amazing time at the stables, with a delicious wedding breakfast by Wild Garlic, and a band and DJ in the evening.

    We hosted a second event on the Sunday and got to enjoy more of the grounds with our guests, take in the amaxing views and make use of the BBQ. We even had an ice cream cart up at the house for everyone to enjoy!

    We can’t recommend Plas enough, and all of our guests still can’t stop talking about our day! We hope to be able to return to this special place in the future - the best weekend ever!

    Complete magic

    We recently had our wedding weekend celebration at Plas Dinam Country House, from Friday 18 - Monday 21 July and it completely exceeded our expectations.

    There really are no words to describe how special this place is. The house is beautiful, extremely spacious (we had 33 guests staying for 3 nights and there was plenty of space) and thoughtfully designed. The space feels calming and peaceful, and not dated or pretentious. All of our guests were blown away by the house and it's grounds. The views, gardens and connection to nature is wonderful and it's also sustainably managed, which was also important to us. We also got to enjoy the wild swimming lake which was an added bonus. The rooms are very generous in size, with comfortable beds, amazing views, robes and towels etc and the bathrooms all had great facilities.

    For weddings Plas Dinam is perfect as it has lots of different spaces for ceremonies, as well as drinks receptions. We were lucky to have good weather and held our ceremony in the woodland which was magical. However we really liked the Great Hall, should we have needed an indoor option. Then having the back lawn with it's views for drinks was another surprise for our guests. We held our wedding meal and party in the Stables which had a really unique, spacious and charming atmosphere - the glass roof with fairy lights looks incredible once the sun goes down! Also having the dancefloor as part of the building was perfect as it meant we didn't have to move our guests out to clear any tables/chairs.

    The team at Plas Dinam are lovely and were a big draw when considering which wedding venue to book. The fact that the house is family owned and has been kept for generations, makes this venue feel genuine and not just another wedding factory. Louise our wedding coordinator was fantastic, relaxed and friendly but completely on top of everything and spent lots of time replying to our emails, whatsapp messages and calls to talk through and consider every detail.

    We were also extremely impressed by the suppliers who were recommended by Plas Dinam. Luna Bloom, a recommended florist and Tallulah & Co for catering were both exceptional and we got countless comments from guests about how beautiful the flowers were and how good the food was! Also having no corkage and party end time of 12:30AM was a real plus compared to other venues we looked at.

    Having Plas Dinam over the full weekend meant we also got to host a relaxed BBQ for house guests on Friday. It was wonderful to have full access to the house, and get to treat it like your own holiday home - as our guests were able to meet and relax before the big day. Also on Sunday we hired a local caterer to provide lunch for our wedding guests, under the large stretch tent which came in very handy when we had some rain.

    Overall it was better than we ever could have hoped for and could not recommend Plas Dinam enough!

    Book this venue

    We were always warned that wedding days go by really quickly and you don't get the chance to catch up with everyone properly. With plas dinam, we rented the place for 3 nights and filled it with all our family and close friends. The days leading up to wedding consisted of slow walks, board games, lake swimming and everyone chatting around the kitchen with cups of tea. It was almost as magical as the day itself, which went seamlessly with the help of lou. She was so calm and experienced- we really felt in good hands. Overall, I think it's the best wedding venue I've ever been to (although there may be some bias..). Bonus points for onsite glamping for guest convenience, no corkage, excellent vendor list and flexible catering. 10/10. Jenny and simon x
