Stunning venue

Stunning venue made a wedding an even more incredible day! Staff were lovely and attentive and really made the effort. It really made it that you were able to relax the day after with the outdoor hottub and not rushed off site.

What a magical location

What a magical location, with so many magical places on the grounds to get lost in. Our wedding felt like something out of Austen book…. Lorraine and the team are warm, kind and make the property and grounds feel like they are your home. Please book for the entire weekend and ask for Meghan and Claude to decorate…. You won’t be disappointed at all. We hasn’t even seen the place in person and organised from abroad - imagine how amazing the team is there to get all details so perfect!

Premier wedding venue in Wales

“We wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all your staff, who worked their socks off before, and during the wedding, to make it a fantastic occasion, full of wonderful memories for us all to cherish for a long, long time. So many of our guests were overwhelmed with the location, and the natural beauty it offers. Gileston Manor in our opinion, is well on it’s way to being the premier Venue in Wales to hold a Wedding.

it really is what every girl has ever dreamt of

“My husband and I got married at Gileston Manor on July 13th 2019.. it really is what every girl has ever dreamt of The wedding planners are amazing and really got to know us beforehand, they went above and beyond to make sure that our day was everything we wanted, and more...Nothing was ever too much! We kicked off our wedding weekend in pure luxury! With my nearest and dearest I spent the night before at the boutique accomodation, and prepped for a day of magic on the morning of. From saying our vows at St Giles Church, drinking cocktails & beers on the multiple luscious lawns and finished up by dancing the night away in the marquee. Our drinks & catering we’re chosen by a recommended caterer at Gileston itself and it was all definitely a hit with the guests! Our unique photographs we will cherish forever as the grounds are breathtaking and like no other! At the end of what we can hand on heart say was the best day of our lives, the bridal/grooms party returned back to the boutique accomodation for more bubbles and a reflection of what was actually, start to finish a dream come true Elyshia & Tom Brennan”
