Our Wedding 2025

Our wedding at The Village Hotel was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The venue itself is beautiful, modern, and incredibly well-kept, creating the ideal backdrop for our special day. From the moment we booked, we felt completely supported and reassured.
A huge thank you to Kieran and Sue, who went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Kieran’s professionalism, attention to detail, and calm approach kept us feeling relaxed throughout, while Sue’s warmth, friendliness, and endless patience made the planning process a joy. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, and they truly made us feel like our day mattered just as much to them as it did to us.
The food was fantastic, the staff were attentive and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was perfect from beginning to end. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks to The Village Hotel, and especially Kieran and Sue, for giving us memories we will cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a flawless wedding venue!

Wedding day

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Day!
We recently had our wedding at the Village hotel Cardiff, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, the entire day ran so smoothly — it truly felt effortless, and that’s all thanks to the incredible team behind the scenes.

The coordinators Sue and Kieran were absolute stars — professional, organized, and so attentive. They made sure every little detail was taken care of and kept everything running on time without us ever feeling rushed. Their calm presence and clear communication made the whole planning process (and the big day itself!) a breeze.

The food was absolutely lovely — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and enjoyed by every single one of our guests.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. It was truly a perfect day, and we’ll always be thankful to the village hotel for a unforgettable day

Amazing venue and staff!


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We recently had our wedding reception at Village Hotel Cardiff, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, every single member of staff went above and beyond to make us feel supported, cared for, and truly special.

Although there was a small hiccup with our connecting rooms at the start, it was resolved quickly and efficiently—and from that point on, everything ran seamlessly. The professionalism, kindness, and dedication shown by the team were outstanding.

There were so many people who made our day unforgettable. Christian from the restaurant showed incredible kindness when our son became overwhelmed—he instantly brought him some chips without hesitation, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the moment. The Assistant Restaurant Manager was equally fantastic, calm, and attentive during our family meal. Laura from housekeeping and her colleagues were so approachable and genuinely friendly, which really added to the warm atmosphere of our stay.

Sue and her events team deserve the biggest thank you. They worked tirelessly to keep the day running smoothly and made it all look effortless. The little touches Sue added to support our autistic son William were above and beyond—something we will never forget. She truly is an asset to the hotel.

The bar staff were brilliant too—friendly, efficient, and full of energy, they helped create a lively, fun atmosphere that so many of our guests commented on afterwards.

Looking back, what made our day so special wasn’t just the venue, but the people. The team at Village Hotel Cardiff managed to combine professionalism with genuine warmth, and it made all the difference. We will always remember our wedding reception with immense joy, thanks in no small part to this amazing team.

Highly, highly recommended. ❤️

Amazing wedding

The team at the Village were absolutely amazing! Sue kept us informed throughout the whole process from booking to the day and nothing was too much trouble making the actual day perfect. The venue is so perfect, everything you need in one place which is what we wanted for our special day. It was within our budget and great value for what we received which was way more than expected! We had so many complements on the food too which was a hog roast buffet! All the guests came to congratulate us on an excellent venue choice. Everyone who work at the village, the receptionists the restaurant staff, Starbucks staff, the cleaning staff and especially the wedding coordinator team were just brilliant and cannot fault the professionalism on the day and leading up to it! A day we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you everyone at the Village hotel Cardiff

Above and beyond!!!

Well where can I begin!!

What a fantastic day we had, from the very beginning of booking with the village hotel the communication was spot on. No question was too silly to ask and I felt that my wishes were being listened to wholeheartedly. Sue and Kieran were fabulous and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy throughout the day engaging with our guests not just ourselves. The food was to die for and pipping hot, great portions and food service went without a hitch!

The evening turn around was seamless also and the room looked fantastic again!

We've had so many positive comments of our day with not one fault being found, people will remember our wedding with fond memories and the village hotel played a big part in that!

Thank you so much from the bottom of our heart for making our wedding day so special!

I would not hesitate recommending you to book your special day here also !

Big thank you and much love from the Thomas's X

Incredible, very attentive would recommend

Got married here on the 5/4/25 and all I can say is wow.

Sue and Leighton the co ordinators were very attentive of what I wanted and guided me through the whole process relieving all pressure off myself.

On the day of the wedding they set up everything in the way requested and better than imagined. They made it my fairytale I dreamed off.

They really looked after us and made everything so seamless. Everything went without a hitch. There was nothing too much to ask. Even my external vendors commented how amazing they were.

Keiron was amazing on the day. Liaising with me through out and the food was beautiful and plentiful.

Bruce the DJ was incredible too. Cannot thank everyone enough for the seamless effort they put in and would recommend to anyone.

A fantastic wedding!

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at the Village Hotel in Cardiff on 01.08.24.
We can’t thank the staff enough, they really looked after us and our guests. The wedding coordinator Victoria was amazing and really made sure that everything ran smoothly. We really appreciate the time and effort Victoria put into making sure our day was so great. So many of our guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. The operations staff were excellent too, they really went over and above to look after us. There was a last minute issue with the original but staff quickly organised another and we weren’t even aware until afterwards. The wedding breakfast was of very high quality too. I would definitely recommend this venue to others.

Excellent

We got married at the Village hotel Cardiff on 1st May 2011. From the moment we booked this venue, the service was excellent thanks to the wedding co-ordinater Sarah. She was always helpful with advice and any questions I had (no matter how silly!) and our wedding day went very smoothly and we have absolutely no doubt that we chose the right venue for our wedding. The food was lovely which everyone commented on and the staff present on the day went out of their way to make sure the day went how we wanted.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!

We got married 24th April 2010. From the moment we viewed the Village Hotel Martin Eagle and the staff were very polite and extremely helpful. We booked straight away and any questions we had or if we wanted to add or change certain things it was never a problem. The day itself was absolutely fantastic, the service provided by all the staff was excellent. We were very pleased with the way the inspiration suite looked for the ceremony it was beautiful and the reception looked stunning. The food was lovely, everone was impressed! The day went without a hitch and the staff at the Village had a lot to do with that. We couldnt have asked for it to go better. We would definately reccommend the Village Hotel to others for special events, especially a wedding. We loved it so huge thanks to everyone at the Village!!

Truly Brilliant!!

We had our wedding breakfast and reception at The Village on Fri 24th July 09 and it really was the best day of our lives and we couldn''t have done it without the Village, in particular Martin Eagle. Nothing we asked for was too much, every aspect of the day was taken care of and we wouldn''t change it for the world. If we could do it all over again then we would still use the Village! We would deinately recommend using the Village for any celebration, most importantly Weddings!!
