“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” - Oscar Wilde
If these walls could speak they would tell stories of visitors welcomed here for over a thousand years. And whilst other venues have tried hard to imitate what we have, it never quite works.
We constantly strive to be innovative and creative in our approach. So, after thinking long and hard about how we might help couples who are planning their wedding during a cost of living crisis, we have reduced our summer wedding prices by £1000. Now you can have the very best venue in the area, for less than any other.
We only host a small number of weddings each year so contact us early to avoid disappointment.
Offer applies to new bookings only, received after 23rd April 2024.

"An absolutely stunning wedding venue and amazing hosts - naturally beautiful and perfect for weddings where you want to personalise it with your own stamp." - Amelia and Charlie
The Courtyard gives you the opportunity to really make your wedding your own; to ensure it reflects your taste and that you celebrate just as you would like to. We don’t offer wedding factory type packages, it’s not our style and it’s not yours either. We believe our couples are special, unique individuals who deserve a stand-out wedding which they and their loved ones will remember forever.

Perhaps a big wedding is just not your style and you’d like to do something completely different. More and more couples are choosing to take themselves away, focus on each other and plan a wonderful private wedding just for two. Whether you simply don’t have the time to organise it, would rather not be the centre of attention or would prefer to have a smaller wedding and a blowout honeymoon - our romantic elopement getaway for two might be just what you’re looking for.
Contact us for further information.

Our location is perfect for you and your guests, whatever time of year you decide to marry. With excellent rail and road links, airports and private air strips for those travelling from further afield.
There are some beautiful places on our doorstep for your guests to explore if they choose to extend their stay to a holiday. The Berwyn Mountains, the majestic waterfalls of Pistyll Rhaedr, the Tanat Valley, and Pontcysyllte World Heritage Site are all close by.
‘We got married at the courtyard and had the most incredible day. Simon and Tig are helpful, thoughtful and genuinely lovely people who made the wedding planning process smooth. We were fortunate enough to have Tig as our celebrant and his humour and character shines through. Thank you for a dream day at an outstanding venue.’
– Emma and Richard
Would you like to arrive from your church wedding in a beautiful vintage car, or be married here either by registrar or celebrant? What’s your style? Big wedding or small? We can’t wait to meet you and get you started on planning the best day of your lives.
Simon and Tig
