We're delighted that you're considering involving Llanvihangel Court in your wedding day and will do our best to help you with your plans, whenever you need it. Our aim is to be as flexible as possible, so that you can personalise your day as much as you wish. When you have had a read through the information below do get in touch with Tom with any queries you may have or to arrange a visit.

We opened the house for wedding ceremonies and receptions in 2001 and have had the pleasure of working with many couples to create their ideal wedding day and have received some lovely testimonials. 

"We had the most wonderful day at Llanvihangel Court
​          and can't recommend it highly enough
"
​

We are really flexible in terms of our approach to receptions and have helped to arrange all types of wedding, from shabby chic, to hay-bale seating and more traditional weddings
.​

​​We think it helps that three family members have been married at the house, so we also appreciate what it's like to arrange your own wedding at the house, as well as some of the challenges.

The Ceremony

We hold marriage ceremonies in the Great Hall, a beautiful space with plaster ceilings and a huge fireplace. It's a lovely location for the ceremony as you feel at the centre of the building's history. It is possible to seat up to a hundred people at the ceremony. You have 3 hours for the ceremony and drinks reception.
​
You have the Great Hall for the ceremony and the adjacent panelled Morning Room for drinks reception (see below), as well as a beautiful panelled bedroom upstairs for the bride to prepare in beforehand.

The Reception

There have been many memorable receptions at the house, with people enjoying the opportunity to have a relaxing 2 hour reception in the Great Hall and Morning Room and then out into the gardens for drinks or dinner. Many couples choose to have a marquee whilst others have risked the weather and had open air receptions - with umbrellas at the ready. If you decide to have a marquee, then you can host 200 or more, depending on the marquee you choose.

For smaller wedding parties (100-150) there is the option of having the reception in the Great Hall and adjoining rooms. If this is something you are interested in, we can discuss various layout options to see what might work.
We leave it up to you to arrange catering and a marquee and we do not charge any corkage. Again, you can always contact us for information, advice or even suggestions.  This might include information on local suppliers, possible layouts for marquees and logistics for your guests, such as travel and accommodation.
For more information on options and details, take a look at the pricing page for more details.

We have worked with a few different marquee companies in the past but the one we are consistently impressed with are County Marquees. They create elegant marquees that provide a wonderful backdrop to your wedding day and space for your celebration (just check out the photos above to see what we mean). They know the grounds really well, so are incredibly efficient and able to advise you on what works.

Architectural Alterations by the Arnolds
​During Nicholas Arnold's lifetime and his son John, several alterations and embellishments were made to the house, in addition to the building of the stables. Principal amongst these was the building of the Southern Annexe in about 1673, which contains the magnificent staircase made of yew wood.



In addition a central doorway was introduced into the Hall in place of a previous side entry via a screened passage. Long mullioned windows with drip-stones, replaced the square Tudor ones on the North Front, all changes reflecting architectural trends at that time. As a consequence of the changes to the Great Hall, the space ceased to be the communal living space it had been, a typical development during this period.

Into the present day

Llanvihangel Court Llanvihangel Court has had numerous owners of the years, from Victorians who added eccentric add-ons such as Egyptian Rooms, to later owners such as the Bennetts who athe turn of the 20th Century restored the house to its Tudor appearance. 

There is of course much history beside the above and you can visit the house and gardens for a guided tour in the dates outlined on the Visiting page.
