We will never be able to put into words how truly incredible Caer Llan is. From the moment we came for our first viewing we knew this was where we wanted to have our wedding. Jake and Vicky are exceptional at what they do, nothing is too big or small for them to help with and they ensured our entire day was planned and executed perfectly! Despite a couple of rain showers we were still able to have our ceremony and breakfast outside which we had our hearts set on from the start. The food was incredible, with the entire 3 day event made gluten free to cater for me. You will not find another place more accommodating, or owners who care as much as

Servus zusammen, Caer Llan klingt nach einem Ort, bei dem die persönliche Erfahrung wahrscheinlich stark von der Unterkunft, dem Anlass und den Erwartungen abhängt. Ich finde Erfahrungsberichte besonders hilfreich, weil man dadurch oft einen besseren Eindruck von Atmosphäre, Service und Umgebung bekommt als durch reine Beschreibungen. Wenn ich unterwegs bin, ist mir eine angenehme Atmosphäre genauso wichtig wie ein bissl Abwechslung in der Freizeit. Online schaue ich deshalb auch gern

We honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to get married. From the moment we booked Caer Llan to the moment we left after our wedding weekend, everything exceeded our expectations. Our whole weekend was absolutely perfect and it's something we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The venue itself is stunning, with incredible views, but what really makes Caer Llan so special are the people. Jake, Vicky and Gabbi were amazing throughout the whole process and on the day itself. They made everything run so smoothly that we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We also want to give a special mention to the chefs and catering team, who were absolutely fantastic. We had some Turkish heritage in our wedding and they were so willing and enthusiastic about incorporating this into the evening food. They created a brilliant Turkish-inspired evening menu featuring some of our favourite dishes, including borek which is no easy thing to get right and they absolutely smashed it. It meant so much to us to have that personal touch, and our guests loved it. The food for our wedding breakfast was also perfect. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented, and we had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed it and how impressed they were with the quality. Having the accommodation on site worked so well for our wedding party and made the whole weekend feel really special. It meant we could spend quality time with our closest family and friends before and after the wedding, which is something we'll always treasure. The team also worked so well with all of our suppliers, making everyone feel welcome and at home. It really helped create the relaxed, fun atmosphere we wanted for our day. If you're thinking about

We can’t thank Vicky, Jake and the Caer Llan team enough for being incredible hosts and helping to make our wedding weekend truly unforgettable! We first viewed Caer Llan in Mar 2025 and felt so relaxed at the venue that we soon knew it was the right choice for us. We were won over by the amazing grounds and stunning views of the Monmouthshire countryside – which completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day in June 2026 during a brilliantly sunny and warm weekend! We were so lucky to have both our ceremony and meal outside on their terrace – it really felt like a destination wedding. They were so helpful during the planning stages of the big day, were very responsive to queries and provided some really helpful advice and planning tools. They were flexible and enabled us to make personalised choices including menu options. Over the weekend the team were calm, professional and made sure that everything went just as we had hoped, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the celebrations. All the food throughout the weekend was top notch, amazing quality and generous portions – right from the welcome buffet the night before, canapes, 3 course wedding breakfast, evening food and breakfasts for on-site guests. So many guests fed back to us how amazing Caer Llan is, and how much they enjoyed the venue. It was really important to us that both u

We had the perfect weekend at Caer Llan, and cannot recommend it enough! Having them do a lot of things in house really reduced the amount of work we had to do in the build up, and they really delivered on the day. The option to have the Friday night also allowed us to spend more time with all of our guests, and savour the weekend a little bit more! The food was great, they bar was reasonable, and the view was absolutely stunning. We had multiple guests telling us that i

Vicky and Jake were amazing and made sure our wedding day was so special and everything ran smoothly. They did so much behind the scenes that our guests never even noticed, and they were incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the day, always happy to answer our questions. We would highly recommend this venue. Our guests loved it too, an

From the moment we arrived at Caer Llan, we knew we had chosen somewhere truly special for our wedding. Nestled in the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside, the venue itself is stunning, but what really made our day unforgettable was the incredible team who run it. Jake and Vicky are simply exceptional. Their calm professionalism, warmth and genuine care shone through every stage of the planning process and on the day itself. Nothing was ever too much trouble and their attention to detail meant we could relax completely and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in safe hands. They anticipated things we hadn’t even thought of and made the whole experience feel effortless. The wider Caer Llan team were equally amazing — friendly, attentive and seamless in everything they did. From the smooth running of the ceremony to the reception and evening celebrations, everything flowed perfectly. Our guests commented repeatedly on how well looked after they felt and how welcoming and inclusive the atmosphere was throughout the day. Caer Llan is not just a beautiful wedding venue; it is a place run by people who clearly love what they do and genuinely care about the couples they host. The breathtaking views across the Monmouthshire countryside provided an unforgettable backdrop to our few days and the food was exceptional, beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by us and our guests alike. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more supportive, thoughtful team to celebrate such an important day in our lives. Thank you to Jake

From the moment we visited Caer Llan, we both looked at each other and thought, wow, this is the place we’re getting married. It just felt perfect from the very beginning. From start to finish, everything was fantastic. We welcomed our guests on the Friday, which really built the excitement, had the most magical wedding day on Saturday 28th March 2026 (with amazing weather!), and then rounded everything off with a lovely breakfast together on the Sunday. Having that extra time made such a difference, it wasn’t just a single day, but a full experience we could truly enjoy with everyone. The setting itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views across the Welsh valley that made everything feel even more special. It was also so lovely that many of our guests were able to stay at the venue, which meant we could spend so much more quality time together. Everyone who attended commented on what an incredible place it is, with many saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food was fantastic from start to finish and they made sure that they catered for everyone! What truly made it unforgettable though, was the team. Vicky and Jake were amazing from start to finish, so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding perfect. From asking about our favourite drink, to welcoming our dog to be part of the wedding!You can completely trust them and their experience; they make everything feel easy while offering great advice and guidance throughout - they took all the stress and the thinking out of the day, which allowed us to truly enjoy the weekend and be present in every moment. They’re also so personable and clearly care deeply about what they do. And we’ll never forget ending the night with Jake jumping on the piano and playing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen - such a special, fun moment that perfectly completed th

We were looking for a beautiful dog friendly venue for our wedding. From the moment we arrived at Caer Llan we knew we had struck gold. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous—photos don’t do it justice. Vicky and Jake made the wedding planning easy. The day itself ran seamlessly, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day. The food was incredible and the team were genuinely caring from start to finish going above and beyond. One of the biggest highlights for us was how dog-friendly the venue is—it meant everything to be able to include our dogs in our big day. The natural beauty of the surroundings along with a stunning building created the perfect wedding backdrop, an unforgettable setting which made our wedding day feel magical from start to finish. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, outstanding organization, and a warm, professional staff wh

When you search for a wedding venue, you want something truly special that invites you to share your love with your friends and family. Caer Llan does just that. It feels warm and inviting as soon as you turn into the drive in. It is run by a family team. Vicky and Jake made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived to see the venue. We absolutely loved our day, and like all couples say, we would do it again in a heartbeat. We wouldn't change a single thing as it was simply perfect. We are still hoping to return for a family c

From the moment we saw the photo of Caer Llan in a wedding magazine we knew it was the place for us. Arriving there is even more special and then of course being shown around by Jake and Vicky, who from the off showed their huge attention to detail and eagerness to make our day personalised and the most special occasion. Any question we asked was answered or met with suggestions to make the day run seamlessly (and it did!). The team are amazing, making personalised canapés which were absolutely delicious, as was all the food served by Caer Llan. Everyone truly cares about making your time so special, I said to the

On arriving at Caer Llan we knew immediately this was the venue for us! It had everything we wanted, a beautiful building with stunning grounds/views, plenty of accommodation for our nearest and dearest and to top it off, wonderful owners! Vicky and Jake have been beyond accommodating throughout our journey. On first arrival we were shown around the venue and discussed the various options and given time to go away and decide without feeling pressured (although it didn’t take us more than an hour to get back to them and secure our date)! Vicky and Jake have always been so helpful and prompt in responding to any queries we had and helped in our decision making along the way. It was so nice to go back to the venue for our planning meeting and fully discuss the big day. We also re visited on one further occasion to run through some decorative choices and Vicky and Jake were accommodating and on hand to help us with anything we were unsure of. We wanted an intimate wedding celebration with our closest friends and family and chose the two night option. It was without doubt the right choice and all of our guests felt at ease and the various bedrooms and communal spaces accommodated our guests of all ages to relax and feel at home throughout their stay. The younger guests were occupied in the family room and made full use of the amenities where close by, the adults could relax and enjoy their stay in the bar and main room. The night before the wedding was truly a celebration in itself, it brought everyone together and we could really relax, eat, drink and be merry with our loved ones ahead of the big day! We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony (Vicky had always reassured us that we could decide on the day for an indoor or outdoor ceremony) but the Great British weather had other ideas and this made our day even more magical. I will always remember me and my bridesmaids giggling on the balcony of the bridal suite with wet feet and champagne in hand! And as newly weds wandering hand in hand through the lush grounds under umbrellas. We wanted a romantic feel to our wedding and that is certainly what we got and will remember forever. The large canopy provided shelter for our confetti shots and family photos plus the little ones in attendance had a great time playing under the gazebo with the evening food also being served outside. The dedication of Jake, Vicky and their hard working team in turning the venue around throughout the day is extraordinary, and was widely noticed by our guests. The transformations from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast through to the evening party was phenomenal! Their attention to detail makes everything feel so special and each time it was like you were in a completely different room! The welcome buffet on arrival through to our last breakfast before departure was outstanding and all of our guests have commented on this! Jake and Vicky worked collaboratively with our suppliers and for some it was their first time at Caer Llan. Their support was really appreciated. Rhys would personally like to thank Jake for helping with the music & seating on the morning of the wedding. Jake stepped up, supported the groomsmen and brought a calmness to hopeless men! From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Jake, Vicky and all of their team for making our day so special and personal to us. Your home really felt like ours for the entire duration of our stay and that was exactly how we wanted it to be, an

What a find! We are so lucky to have found this venue that couldn't have suited us and our guests more! This venue made our wedding so special in every single way we could have imagined and more! Vicky and Jake who own and run the venue did their up most in every way to make the weekend run smoothly and keep everyone comfortable, from visiting the venue beforehand, the whole planning period up to the wedding, liaising with our chosen band, florist, make up artist, ect and accomodating our plans on how we wanted the day to run. We really couldn't have felt more looked after and cared for! We very much enjoyed the family feel the venue had compared to the many cooperate 'one in, one out' venues, and the pride Vicky and Jake take to make this such an exceptional experience for everyone is really special. The grounds and views are absolutely stunning and the ability to host an outside wedding was great. The accommodation was spotless and the food was delicious and well presented at every meal. Being able to create a weekend wedding was lovely as not only did it mean we could spend time with all our guests without it feeling rushed but we got to relax into the weekend and it felt like a break for everyone on site. All of our guests have since commented on how special the venue was and how well looked after they felt by our wonderful hosts who were always on hand if needed. Vicky and Jake thank you so much for all your hard work, your quick replies to emails, your ability to solve any potential problems, and guiding us through our special day every step of the way. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same anywhere else, you turned our dream into reality and made it 'ours'. You have left us both speechless and we can't thank you enough!!!!
