You tell just by looking at pictures that Cardiff Castle is a beautiful venue for a wedding, but the staff are what will guarantee you a wonderful day. John (events manager) is easy to communicate with and on the day I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Our on-the-day coordinator Jodean (sorry if I’ve spelled that incorrectly) was amazing, always smiling, even when dealing with my chaotic family and friends, holding an umbrella over my head, or transporting a bucket that I had vomited into (speech nerves). Praise also for the lady who held my dress off the wet ground (we had three thunderstorms on the day), while we went around having photos taken, I want to say her name was Marion but I’m afraid I can’t remember. They let both our cakemaker and our florist drive onto site to deliver their bits and bobs, plus you can drive your wedding vehicle (including a horse and carriage) right up to the manor house. After the wedding when we went to collect some of the decorations, the duty manager was Rhys who not only helped us track it all down but helped us carry it to the car as well so a gold star for him too.
