Top Ten North Wales Wedding Venues
This post is about the Top 10 North Wales Wedding Venues. It’s no surprise that North Wales has some of the most picturesque locations in the UK for wedding venues. If you go to the east you’ll have the option to see the Clywdian range, Llangollen and beautiful countryside. In the west you have Snowdonia national park, winding lakes and the isle of Anglesey. These locations mean that your wedding film or pictures will have that touch of outdoors with just the best backdrops for your wedding. This list is in no particular order as they are all just magnificent in their own way. As a North Wales wedding videographer I can safely recommend each of these venues.
1. Bron Eifion
Bron Eifion is set in Criccieth which has the most perfect beach for couples shots with the sunset. This luxury, exclusive use, family run wedding venue can host up to 150 guests, accommodation and delicious food. It has 5 acres of well maintained grounds and sea views which will only enhance your day further and have your guests being in awe.
The venue is licensed for indoor and outdoor ceremonies meaning that you’ll have the most amazing backdrop for your ceremony film. The indoor ceremony boasts lots of natural light which translates perfectly for your wedding film.
With a well sized room your evening reception has enough space for a live band or any other entertainment you can ask for. I highly recommend The Pedal Tones for your evening entertainment.
I highly recommend viewing this venue, you can see their website here where you can get in touch and find out when their next wedding showcase is.
North Wales wedding videographer tip: This venue has a lot to offer, you can have editorial shots within the main building, or we can go for more candid shots around the grounds.
