If there is one castle in Wales that is perfect for a fairy tale wedding, it would have to be Cardiff Castle.

This Neo-Gothic marvel has been the scene of many a royal wedding over the centuries and is still a popular venue for nuptials today.

The castle is situated in the heart of the city, and its dramatic turrets and towers can be seen from all around. It's no wonder that it is such a popular venue – not only does it offer a truly unique backdrop for photos, but the castle itself is steeped in history and romance.

Couples who choose to wed at Cardiff Castle can enjoy a truly memorable day, full of pomp and ceremony. The Great Hall is a popular ceremony location, with its grand arches and imposing stained glass windows. For a more intimate setting, the Friary Building is perfect, with its charming gardens and river views.

After the ceremony, there's plenty of time to enjoy a drinks reception in the grand State Rooms or take a wander around the castle grounds. And for those who want to let their hair down, the evening reception can be held in the spectacular banqueting hall, which can accommodate up to 400 guests.
