Country House Wedding Testimonials

We just wanted to message to say thank you so much for the most wonderful weekend! Lou, (wedding coordinator) was amazing!

She thought of solutions to problems before we even realised there was a problem. She was organised, reassuring and just a lovely person to spend time with! Thank you so much for making our wedding go so perfectly. The bar staff were also fabulous! Nothing was too much trouble. After the postponement and all the zoom calls we are so pleased to have finally got the wedding of our dreams. You have all been wonderful right from day one. Could there be anywhere more perfect to get married!? We doubt it! With all our thanks and very best wishes.

We were lucky enough to find Plas Dinam on a search for possible wedding venues last year and we are so pleased that we found it. We booked the house for the whole weekend and filled all of the rooms with our closet friends and family for the most magical wedding ever! The old stables, which we decorated for our wedding reception were beautiful, the grounds and gardens were superbly kept and hosts were fantastic in the run up and during the weekend! We could not recommend a better place to get married or spend a long weekend with friends and family!

If you are looking for the most idyllic countryside setting for a DIY wedding, Plas Dinam is the perfect venue. We were excited from the pictures but fell in love with it as soon as we drove up the driveway.

The beautiful main house is constantly being tweaked and updated so for an old house it feel remarkably fresh and pristine. The grounds and the stables are gorgeous and plenty of room for 130 guests.

Utilize the heavenly Julie as much as you like (we fell in love with her as much as the venue!) but equally if you have your own ideas of what you want you have all the freedom to run with it. Tyson is also always on hand for any practical hands on help you may need.

We visited so many places where they had a set schedule for the day, where you felt like just any other bride & groom that they needed you in and out in 24hrs. Plas Dinam allows you to create whatever you want for as long as you want. For example we stayed for 4 nights and created a ball pit photobooth in the stables

We can’t wait to return for our 5th, 10th, 20th wedding anniversaries!

Plas Dinam Country House soon became our favourite place. From the moment we drove up the the winding path to the house, we knew it was the place for us. Not only could we enjoy the beautiful surroundings that Plas Dinam sits in, but we got to extend our wedding to enjoy a whole weekend at the house for our wedding. We arrived on Thursday to crisp sheets, enjoyed pizza facilitated by Tyson on Friday, our wedding on Saturday in the Stables and a BBQ on Sunday. We feel absolutely blessed!

Eldrydd allowed us to make the house our home for the weekend and no request was too big or none negotiable. They were kind throughout and determined to make sure that, despite to pandemic, we were to have the wedding we had planned at Plas Dinam. On the day Louise was never far to check how things were going and to organise the various suppliers who were a part of our day. Everything was so smooth and we trusted that Louise was in control. We will forever be grateful for their kindness, support and consideration throughout! Thank you!

Plas Dinam was the perfect venue for our wedding. The location is beautiful and the stables allow you to be as creative as you want. Eldrydd, Tyson, Katie and the rest of the team were amazing at helping with everything from start to finish. The are supportive and always on hand if you have any questions. The weather didn’t look great in the morning and the Plas Dinam team were so accommodating In letting us have multiple options depending on what the weather did, eventually the sun came out at the perfect moment and we had our ceremony on the back lawn overlooking the beautiful views. Guests have not stopped telling us what a brilliant day they had. We stayed over the weekend which made the recovery slightly easier not having to rush off! The whole weekend was relaxed everything we were hoping for. Could not recommend Plas Dinam enough!

We are so pleased we chose Plas Dinam as a venue for our wedding celebrations of Charlotte and Adam. Eldrydd, Tyson, Louise and their team could not have done more to make it such a memorable, special time for us. They provided great support in the planning of the wedding and were happy to share their knowledge and experience of how to make the optimum use of the amazing house and grounds for the whole wedding weekend. The house, bedrooms and main rooms are to a very high standard. All of the bedrooms are comfortable and well furnished. The stables provided a perfect space for the wedding celebration.

We would highly recommend Plas Dinam for anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Plas Dinam was the perfect venue for the intimate wedding we wanted. Hearing all too often that wedding days are over too quickly, we decided from the outset to have a weekend wedding: four days of fun with our closest friends and family, with extended family and other friends joining us for the ‘big day’. After visiting several venues in Devon, which weren’t particularly luxurious but with huge price tags, we discovered Plas Dinam via recommendation. It offers 15 luxurious bedrooms, all individually styled exuding a perfect balance of vintage and modern. The grounds are stunning; you have the choice of tennis court, football pitch, croquet pitch, with a mini forest and stream, and horses in a nearby field to visit. The house is big enough to comfortably sleep 34 and although it’s an old house, and there is a sense of grandeur, it isn’t in the slightest bit ostentatious. On our wedding day we were 92 in the evening and it felt intimate. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from the venue – Eldrydd (the PD’s manager) has a excellent suppliers list to help you with all your requirements. Would highly recommend Plas Dinam for anyone wanting an intimate wedding in the gorgeous Welsh countryside.

Harry and I can’t stop smiling and crying and laughing about all that has been magic over the past week. All of which was only made more magical by the Plas Dinam team. Their care, kindness and “nothing is too much” attitude led to us all having such fun. They took care of us the minute we first got in contact. We got to make our wedding our own. The interior and exterior of the house is incredible, but the to be able to also experience the woodland, the stables and every nook and cranny this wonderful venue has to offer was just spectacular. A special mention to Katie, our wedding Coordinator. I haven’t got enough words to express my gratitude for this beautiful human. She was like a fairy god mother in the background that made everything so seamless and easy and made us feel we were constantly safe in her hands!
Everyone has said what an incredible experience it was staying in Plas Dinam, making it home for a few days and those big beautiful walls sharing their history of love with us.

We got married at Plas Dinam this September and just wow, it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. It was the perfect venue and without a doubt the best weekend of our lives.
All of our guests were blown away by the house, the beautiful gardens and the surrounding scenery. Being able to have so many of our guests stay with us on site was so special and meant we were really able to cherish every second of the weekend. The Plas Dinam owners and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Lou was particularly brilliant on the wedding day, making sure everything ran smoothly so all we had to focus on was enjoying ourselves. We absolutely loved the beautiful wedding barn and being able to add so many of our own personal touches. The atmosphere in the evening really was magical. We could not recommend this venue more highly, we have certainly made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Plas Dinam!

I can’t imagine a more perfect blend of professionalism and hands-off management for a wedding venue. All the guests could get comfortable and feel totally at ease and we were free to host as we liked . On the day of the wedding, everything for the ceremony, reception, and party was completely organised without any input from us and we could simply get ready for the day. Katie was so helpful and kind on the day that I felt like I had an extra bridesmaid.

This is of course just on the day – but the whole lead up was equally as wonderful! We wanted an outdoors style wedding in winter and they made everything possible, even to the point of doing things in a way they’d not done before! My partner was always contacting them with questions and requests and they gave him great answers, went above and beyond, and gave us both a lot of reassurance and advice.
Our recommendations:
– book the fire pit for an outdoor wedding!
– book the pizza oven for the night before the wedding and order the dough from the recommended supplier (Andy, I think?)
– Wild Garlic are awesome caterers and have a lot of experience at Plas Dinam – plus they’re as kind and flexible as Katie, Eldrydd and Tyson (i.e. very)
– The Lodge is great for families with little kids to get away from the main house. We managed to comfortably fit a lot of people in the Lodge.
– If you’re self catering for breakfast or providing drinks, do a big Morrisons order to the house
– Make sure you get some time to wander round the gardens!
We honestly had a fantastic time and I doubt it would’ve have been so perfect anywhere else. A lot of our guests said it was the best wedding venue they’d ever experienced and even our dog didn’t want to leave.

We had our wedding weekend here! I cant even begin to explain our experience. The house and grounds itself are absolutely stunning, it all went so perfectly. We had a pizza party on the Friday night using their pizza oven, Saturday the morning of the wedding was unreal, we went for a walk to the swimming lake and went for a swim, it was glorious. Such a chilled and magical experience. It’s your house for the weekend so everyone genuinely felt at home and when we needed help Louise was on the other end of the phone, she was brilliant throughout the whole process and guided us to the perfect weekend and wedding. We got most of our suppliers from a list they provided with trusted suppliers of everything and there was not one disappointment. Worth every penny, if only we could take everyone back there for our first anniversary, highly highly recommended!!

This is a beautiful house that balances space and style with a homeliness. The grounds and countryside are stunning and enable walks, swimming and fun. The morning of our wedding friends were rolling out of bed and going for runs, or swimming in the wild lakes. Others were just clustered around the kitchen table. We married in the woodland which was perfect for us but there are lots of options.
Throughout the planning Louise and Eldrydd were helpful and responsive. Lots of advice on timing and set up. We used lots of wonderful local suppliers I would also recommend from pastries from Andy’s bread (“these are better than in France” was one comment!!) to local chocolate! Our flowers were also done by a lady from the village (Jane).

We had the most amazing weekend and the venue was perfect.
From the moment we visited Plas Dinam and started planning our wedding, the organisation was seamless. Lou and Eldrydd were always communicative, really friendly and welcoming when we visited with family. Prior to our wedding and over the weekend itself, they were there to help with whatever we needed, whilst providing the space for us have the day we wanted. We were looking for a venue with flexibility in schedules, suppliers and no-corkage options – Plas Dinam exceeded our expectations.
The venue itself was gorgeous. We had welcome drinks on the front lawn, our wedding ceremony in the woodland area, a drinks reception on the back lawn and the meal/evening in the stables. The gardens are perfectly maintained, and the scenery is beautiful. The house is well-kept, with ongoing improvements to make sure everything works well.
We took advantage of the accommodation on site, and had friends and family staying in the house, the lodge and glamping. All of the accommodation was high quality, and it was really special having so many people there to share the weekend. The house had lovely additions – dressing gowns and luxury toiletries in each room – which were really nice for our guests.
We would like to thank Lou, Eldrydd and Tyson for all of their help to make our wedding perfect. We cannot recommend Plas Dinam and the team more highly, and wish we could have the wedding all over again.

We can’t begin to describe how amazing Plas Dinam is! It made what is already a special day even more special. From the rustic setting for the wedding reception to the stunning views of the Welsh hills from the grounds, this venue is truly one of a kind! If you want a wedding where you can truly show your character as a couple and make it bespoke and personal to you, this is the place to be! The Plas Dinam team are so flexible, accommodating and supportive from start to finish and entertained every fun idea we had for the day from axe throwing to a New Orleans style saxophone procession. Lou (the wedding coordinator) is such a calming presence and helped make the whole experience so much fun! We stayed from Thursday evening to Sunday morning with family and friends, having open air cinema showings in the gardens, playing pool in the billiards room and using the pizza oven onsite too, all before the wedding on Saturday. This venue is truly FANTASTIC! We cannot recommend enough!

We got married in Plas Dinam at the beginning of November. It was an amazing venue to get married at. Before our wedding they were very good with communication, answering emails quickly and being very helpful with anything we asked. On the weekend of the wedding, the weather gods were very kind with beautiful sunshine all weekend. Due to it being a November wedding we had planned for everything to be inside, and the rooms at Plas were beautiful and luckily our guests could experience the stunning gardens as well with the good weather. We got married in the great hall, which had enough space for 120 people to be seated. Louise made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the whole day and made for a stress free wedding. The stables were fantastic for our wedding reception and had plenty of space for all the twmpath dancing! Plas Dinam was a great venue, you get the whole place for the weekend and can plan the weekend you way it want to go. we had a very relaxed weekend approach with all of our guests coming and going over the weekend. I couldn’t recommend this venue more.

We rented Plas Dinam for our wedding at the end of October and couldn’t have been happier with the venue itself and the team – they are wonderful!
Plas Dinam is an exquisite venue. We received several compliments about the house, grounds and quirky stables. Most of our guests hadn’t been to anywhere like it and they all enjoyed the weekend (almost) as much as we did.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are all beautiful – there isn’t a bad room in the place and the living accommodation downstairs is extensive and offers plenty to do. The grounds are stunning and we enjoyed walking and exploring (with our dog).
One of the things we were most grateful of was the ability to make the weekend our own and we were lucky to have three nights there so we could prepare beforehand and recover afterwards. This is something that sets Plas Dinam apart from other venues we had considered that had more than one wedding per week in many cases.

From our very first interactions with Eldrydd and her team, we knew we were in safe hands. They gave all the relevant information and answered our questions without being pushy at any stage. The team always made time for us, even when they would have had a number of other weddings and events to plan at the same time. Katie was our designated wedding coordinator and she was amazing. She was calm and completely unflappable and gave us an enormous confidence in how the day would run and was there for us every step of the way and she threw herself into any role required over the weekend (helping the housekeeping staff, feeding my dog, finding my spare shoes….absolutely anything she could do to help, she did).
I can’t thank the team enough for what genuinely was (as the title suggests) the best weekend of our lives and I just hope we can return one day. Thank you!
