Have The Perfect Day At This Amazing North Wales Wedding Venue

We are pretty well accustomed to rustic charm, but we found ourselves swept away (almost literally – hello, sea breeze!) by the magical world of Château Rhianfa.

Sitting pretty on the banks of the Menai Strait with views across to Snowdonia, this French-style château brings serious fairytale energy – but with a proper Welsh heart. Think turrets, grand staircases, dramatic views, and rooms full of personality. It's the kind of place where you half expect Belle to pop out mid-wedding and start singing.

Chateau Rhianfa

Château Rhianfa isn't your average wedding venue – it’s next-level dreamy. Originally built as a gift of love (romantic AF, right?), the place is brimming with character, history, and charm in every corner.

Ceremonies here feel grand and intimate all at once – you’ve got options like the cosy Drawing Room, the beautiful Banqueting Hall, or even an outdoor terrace ceremony with Snowdonia in the background.

Basically: whatever your wedding vision is, it’ll look like it came from a film set.

Romance, Drama and a Touch of Royalty

With 27 rooms onsite, including some ridiculously pretty suites, you can turn your big day into a full wedding weekend. From pre-wedding pampering in one of the turrets to breakfast overlooking the water the next morning, Château Rhianfa brings the luxury but keeps it personal.

We've seen bridal prep mornings full of giggles, groomsmen pacing about in velvet slippers, and late-night chats in drawing rooms that feel like something out of Downton Abbey. It’s all very atmospheric – and just a little bit magical.

Bedrooms With A View (And The Best Sleep Ever After A Big Party!)

Let’s talk about the party – because wow, Château Rhianfa knows how to host a celebration to remember.

From the moment the music starts and the evening vibe kicks in, the energy at this venue is just chef’s kiss. Whether you’re into classy cocktails with a string quartet or going full festival-mode with a live band (yes, please!), the Château has the space, style and layout to keep everyone buzzing.

The Banqueting Hall transforms seamlessly into an evening party space – and the acoustics? Rich, warm and totally dance-worthy. As live musicians, we always feel a little giddy playing here. The room carries music beautifully, meaning your first dance will sound like a movie moment and your final encore will be loud, proud and full of joy.

There’s a real sense of flow throughout the venue – guests can dance the night away under chandeliers, grab a drink and a breather in one of the cosy lounges, or sneak off for some fresh air on the terrace (seriously – starlit views over the Menai Strait are next-level romantic).

And if you're planning on really bringing the party? There's space for DJs, bands, sax players, sparkler exits, confetti canons – you name it. We’ve seen some properly wild dancefloors here – the kind where your aunt's on someone’s shoulders and your mates are shouting every lyric to 'Mr. Brightside' at midnight.

The best part? The staff totally get it. They’re pros at making the evening run smoothly – from seamless turnaround after dinner to helping us with setup so the transition to party mode is effortless. Everything feels polished but never too formal, which means you and your guests can just... let go.

So if you’re dreaming of a wedding venue that’s all about magical surroundings, epic vibes, and a dancefloor that doesn’t quit – Château Rhianfa is calling your name.

Space to Celebrate, Sing, and Go Totally Wild On The Dancefloor!
