Plas Dinam Country House

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 had the most amazing time at Plas Dinam for our wedding! What an absolutely gorgeous place. The house is perfect and we loved exploring the grounds. The stables is such a special venue for a wedding reception – we could not have asked for a more beautiful venue! And the views for the ceremony were just perfect!

Lou and the team are so welcoming and friendly! They made the whole process so easy and stress free both before our wedding and during the weekend. Having 3 days there was perfect but we wished we’d stayed longer because it was so so nice! We didn’t want to leave!

Plas Dinam was the perfect setting for our wedding day. The house, with its 15 gorgeous bedrooms, huge kitchen, majestic dining room, games rooms (and more) easily accommodated us, our close family, and bridesmaids and ushers for the weekend. The house is so big it is easy (and fun) to get lost and we never felt on top of each other. The gardens and grounds, looking over the breath-taking Welsh mountains are simply stunning, especially the wild flowers on the front lawns in July. The barn, where we held our reception dinner comfortably sat our 115 guests, and we all stayed there well into the night to party. Making the decision to stay at Plas Dinam for three nights was definitely the right one. Having our loved ones with us for the extended period of time meant the wedding felt longer and we enjoyed getting the house and grounds ready together on the Friday, and all went on a long walk on Sunday before enjoying a sing-a-long around the piano! Eldrydd and Tyson were very helpful throughout the wedding planning process, giving us advice on local accommodation, taxis, caterers and more, and helping us set up the barn and coming to our aid with some umbrellas when we had a (short, sharp!) shower ahead of the ceremony. We have said we would like to return and celebrate our 10 year anniversary at Plas Dinam, it truly was a magical place to spend the weekend. We’d advise anyone reading this to give Plas Dinam serious consideration for any party/wedding you may be organising, it won’t let you down!

A huge thank you to everyone at Plas Dinam for the most perfect wedding weekend! We couldn’t have asked for more, and family and friends were blown away by your hospitality – no ask was too small and it was like staying at our second home! We can’t stop smiling 6 weeks on!

Louise’s support in coordinating the weekend was amazing – helpful, friendly and always on hand to answer questions (and we had many questions!) Louise provided reassurance and solutions to all our queries, even taking treasured photos of our outside ceremony from the top of the house, capturing the rolling landscape.

The beautiful house, grounds, backdrop of the Welsh countryside and the glass roof stables made Plas Dinam the perfect setting for our wedding weekend. The pizza oven too was a huge hit with guests making the Friday evening the relaxed family event we imagined. Thank you so much to the Plas Dinam team for making memories we will never forget! Can we please do it all over again?!

Plas Dinam was the perfect wedding venue. We rented the whole house from Friday to Sunday and filled the bedrooms with guests which made for a great extended weekend of celebrations. Katie and Eldrydd really helped us make the place feel like our own and we felt so relaxed and comfortable whilst planning and during the weekend itself. They were also on hand and happy to help with anything we needed. When looking at other venues we found it was rare to truly have such a beautiful venue and then be able to build your own unique wedding day from scratch with as much or as little guidance as wanted or needed. Cannot recommend both the venue and the team highly enough!

Janna and I booked out Plas Dinam for the bank holiday weekend in August and we couldn’t be happier with how our weekend was managed. Everything from the support we had in the months leading up to the event, to the service we experienced from the team from our arrival to our departure was exceptional. They simply did not miss a beat when following our requests for set up of the reception venue, arrangements with external suppliers and our programme for the day.

The picturesque house and grounds are kept in amazing condition and were provided fully equipped for us to manage our own self catering arrangements for the weekend. We opted for use of the Pizza oven on Friday night with Tyson (who was always available when needed) giving us a quick run down of how to use it. We managed to serve all of our guests on-site in no time at all and was so much fun – highly recommend this.

The stables where our reception was held is brilliant both from of a functional stand point and looks stunning too! It easily accommodated our circa 120 guests with space for lounge furniture, cake table, gift table etc and even had some spare rooms on the side. One of the greatest aspects of this venue is that the place is essentially yours for the weekend so you can reasonably customise your whole event and make it completely your own.

Katie, Louise and Eldrydd were obviously of great support prior to the wedding but what really surprised Janna and I is how far the team went to ensure that everything was perfect. We ran out of decorative material for our table runners on Friday whilst we were setting the reception venue, Katie noticing this, went out to Newtown of her own accord to go and find some more for us and brought it back the same evening for us to finish setting the stables. This gesture simply speaks volumes about the kind of service that we experienced and we both are ecstatic with how the weekend went.

Married August 2022

My partner and I were looking for a venue that we could make our own (no packages, strict guidelines or standard decor) and came across Plas Dinam shortly after getting engaged. The house/venue is even more beautiful in person, and I lost count of how many guests fell in love with the place, I can highly recommend it for a wedding or even just a group getaway. We also loved that the house had family history and was more relaxed than some other places we visited, which comes through when meeting Eldrydd and Tyson.

Eldrydd and the team were accommodating and patient with us as we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, despite some hesitation having a weekday wedding it was more than we could have ever imagined! All our vendors did the most amazing job and only enhanced the already beautiful space.

I have to give a special shout out to Katie, our coordinator who went above and beyond the usual venue coordinator duties not only on the day but in the weeks and months leading up to it. She was a calm and organised voice on the day, helping make decisions I didn’t have the headspace or time to think about.

We spent three full days at Plas Dinam exploring the grounds and making use of the facilities – I highly recommend using the pizza oven, it was great fun for our us and our guests!

So much more than a wedding venue!

We were lucky enough to stay at Plas Dinam for 4 nights in September for our wedding. Choosing to get married here was the best decision we made, it is so much more than just a wedding venue!

The wedding itself was everything we hoped it would be, a relaxed and happy day in the most wonderful setting. Eldrydd, Tyson and Lou were brilliant and made sure everything ran smoothly. We were even lucky with the weather!

What makes Plas Dinam extra special is the days around the wedding, we were able to spend so much time with our family and friends having so much fun! The house is full of socialising space and activities, great for a crowd, and the outside space is perfect for BBQs and garden games. And the location is stunning – we all went for a walk in the glorious hills behind the house, and some even went for a swim in the ponds!

Overall I cannot recommend Plas Dinam enough. Thank you for so many wonderful memories, I hope one day we will be back!

The best of the best from start to finish. We had our wedding at Plas Dinam and it was fantastic from start to finish. Eldrydd, Tyson, Louise and team are fantastic. They were amazing to deal with. Plas Dinam is beautiful surrounded by rolling Welsh hills. It’s an idyllic setting. Plas Dinam has so much history and beautiful items in the house. Incredibly, Eldrydd and Tyson are the most accommodating, approachable, flexible and relaxed owners we have ever worked with! Nothing was ever too much trouble. What we loved about Plas Dinam was it was not ostentatious. For example we used the stables for our wedding breakfast. However, during the winter it is used as a stable for the horses. It’s not called the “stables” to stick to a theme or make it sound more authentic. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Lastly and most importantly, there are no hidden charges. They are fully transparent. What a place. what a team.

Married September 2022

If you are looking for a magical wedding venue with amazing scenery, beautifully kept grounds, accommodation for all of your friends and family, the perfect party space and the most helpful team then please look no further – Plas Dinam literally has it ALL!

When we got engaged we were looking for a venue with relaxed vibes that we could put our own stamp on and came across a picture of the incredible glass-roofed stables at Plas Dinam which immediately caught our eye. Following a little further investigation we discovered that there was so much more on offer – an incredible 19th century house, glamping for your guests, the option to have the entire place to yourselves for as many nights as you like, wildflower meadow, lakes, tennis courts… We could go on and on.

As soon as we spoke with Eldrydd we knew it was the venue for us as she was immediately so open and accommodating when we launched into our ideas of celebrating across four days with additional events around our main wedding day. Nothing was too difficult.

When the weekend finally arrived (after a covid-related year-change) it was everything we had dreamed of and more. Eldrydd, Tyson, Katie and Louise were so incredibly helpful across our time there – an absolute dream team and always on hand if we needed anything. Not to mention the amazing bar staff (shout out to Shona), groundsmen and all of the team who made the house look so pristine before and after our time there.

So many of our guests said it was one of the most spectacular venues they had been to and I have to say dancing on the lawn to a silent disco at sunset with the rolling hills as a backdrop will forever be a hard moment to top!!

We are SO glad we booked Plas Dinam as our wedding venue and look forward to revisiting for a reunion in the years to come!

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Plas Dinam to other couples looking for a beautiful venue that they can make their own for a whole weekend, not just their one special wedding day. Everything was even better than we’d hoped for over the weekend we got married, and many of our guests commented that they would be recommending the venue to others in the future.

We hired the house for a 4 day weekend, meaning we could host a karaoke night in the Drawing Room on the Thursday we arrived, with Tyson (one of the owners) helping us to set up and use the original bread oven for the house to make pizzas that night for around 30 of our guests that were staying. On the Friday we did our own set up of the stables for our reception the next day, and many of our guests visited local towns and went on countryside walks/swimming in the river during the day as we has spectacular weather. Our wedding was on Saturday and it all went so smoothly – Louise was there all day handling things in the background so that we didn’t even notice and could really enjoy getting ready without worrying about what needed to be done. We knew we were in safe hands. We had our ceremony on the back lawn overlooking the stunning hills, following by a drinks reception in that area, before moving down to the stables for speeches, food and dancing. We had 96 at our wedding and the stables was the perfect space for us – it felt busy without having our guests crammed in and we were able to have the tables in a banquet style arrangement to encourage different groups to interact. The dancefloor was a great size for all our guests plus a live band.

One of the magical things about Plas Dinam was being able to have so many of our guests stay on site and to have people come back on the Sunday as well. It meant we really got to spend time with everyone we invited. We filled the house with our closest family and bridal party, and had other close friends staying in the tents on site too. This meant we could have more time with everyone, as it really does go in a flash! Every room in the house is beautiful and there are plenty of bathrooms for everyone to share, plus a games room, ping pong table, billiards room, all of which we used at some point or other during the weekend. We wanted our wedding to feel like a proper holiday for our guests (with a wedding thrown in the middle) and were so pleased that many people commented what an amazing break it was. In fact, some of our guests are even now looking to host events of their own at Plas Dinam.

We literally can’t think of anything we’d change about the venue, the team, or our special weekend.

Plas Dinam exceeded our expectations by a long way. We knew that we’d chosen a great venue and would have the best weekend, but we weren’t prepared for how special Plas Dinam is and how much we would fall in love with this place. The setting is beautiful with the most incredible views, the house is stunning, all of the bedrooms feel like a luxury country hotel, and the staff are all amazing. Eldrydd, Tyson, Lou and the rest of the team were so helpful and generous, whilst also being very laid back and relaxed. They really put us at ease throughout the entire planning process and on the big day itself. They over-delivered on all of our excessive requests, and everything we wanted was possible. From the moment we arrived, we really felt at home there for the weekend. We were fortunate enough to have nice weather, so we really got to utilise every part of the venue, with a pre-wedding pizza party on the front lawn the day before, our ceremony out the back with the rolling hills behind us and the meal and dancing in the glass stables. The stables were stunning and it worked so well having the dance floor open to the dining area, the dance floor was packed the whole evening.

We had Wild Garlic for our caterers who call Plas Dinam their second home, they too over delivered and were great. We would highly recommend Plas Dinam to anyone looking for an incredible countryside venue with lots of accommodation on site, exclusive use and a really relaxed atmosphere. We wish we would go back and re-live it all over again!

Married May 2024

We had the most fantastic wedding in July 2022 thanks to the amazing team and surroundings at Plas Dinam.

We booked our wedding during the height of Covid so we initially had a tour via Zoom with Lou and we instantly loved the venue. We both straight away felt the relaxed nature of Plas Dinam suited us and how we pictured our wedding. When we were able to visit in person a few months later we were surprised by how much it surpassed our expectations further. We then started booking our suppliers which was made easier by the Trusted Suppliers list received. We were able to choose vendors that knew the venue well but were also able to accommodate our thoughts and vision.

Lou and Eldrydd were always on hand for any questions we had throughout the whole process and all of our questions and requests were responded to quickly and always provided us with the reassurance and guidance we needed.

Having booked a relatively small mid-week wedding (2 nights) for our 40 guests the Plas Dinam team offered us as much flexibility as possible so we could set up and enjoy the venue both before and after our big day. We decided to have a BBQ the night before and had meat delivered from a local butcher. Everyone was able to mingle out on the lawn and enjoy the view. We hired both The Lodge and The Loft as well as the main house as it was important to us to have all our guests stay on-site with us which was a huge selling point of the venue.

On the wedding day Louise ensured that we had everything we needed and was a reassuring presence throughout. We held our ceremony under the archway at the front of the house and our reception on the lawn. The strong relationship between Wild Garlic and Plas Dinam meant that our canapé service was streamlined (and delicious!).

The staff provided by Plas Dinam both for the bar and the breakfast the morning after the wedding were so friendly and accomodating. We could not have asked for more and wish we could do it all again. We will definitely be coming back back to visit again in the future!

This really is the ideal wedding venue. We rented the whole house from Wednesday to Sunday, which was the perfect way to extend the celebrations. Our guests filled every bedroom and raved about their stay. Each room has its own look and feel, and the views of the grounds are breathtaking. We also rented out the lodge and glamping tents, which were amazing and meant that we could have lots of our family and friends on site with us, too. The entire team at Plas Dinam were incredibly helpful from start to finish and made the entire planning process stress-free. The house is filled with everything you could possibly need for your stay – including a pizza oven! The stables, where we had our reception, is a blank canvas, so you can be as creative with the space as you like, which we loved. The location is stunning, with beautiful walks nearby. We can’t recommend it enough!

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!

Married September 2022

When we first visited Plas Dinam we instantly knew this was where we would get married. We had already fallen for the glass roofed stables from the pictures we had seen online but the house and gardens cemented that this was the place for us. Planning the wedding was a daunting task but with Plas Dinam’s recommended suppliers we were able to combine our own suppliers to create a day that was 100% ours. This wouldn’t have been possible without the very wonderful Louise, their wedding coordinator, who was on call to answer any questions no matter how silly throughout!

When booking your wedding at Plas Dinam, you get the whole place for two nights. This meant that we were able to make full use of the old bread oven which has now been converted to a wood fired pizza oven. With the help of Tyson and recommended supplier, David Rowles, friends and family chipped in to create their own pizzas. What was lovely about the first night was that close family and friends who were staying either in the house or glamping in the bell tents were able to settle in and have a lovely relaxing evening before the big day. It felt like we were on holiday and all of our favourite people were there.

The morning of the wedding was beautifully sunny which meant our guests could explore the area, lots went on walks, others played tennis on Plas Dinam’s tennis courts. Getting ready was a relaxed and wonderful experience; there was no need to worry about getting to a venue on time because we were already there! It was amazing looking out of the window and seeing the chairs had been set up on the lawn ready for the ceremony and later our guests as they arrived.

After a reception on the lawn we had our wedding breakfast at the stunning glass roofed stables. Our caterers were exceptional and the whole evening flowed seamlessly. We used one of the small stables to create a ball pit for the kids which went down a treat. As the evening got a bit chillier, suddenly out of nowhere a fully lit fire pit arrived on a fork lift! It truly was the most magical day and so many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

What a delight to find the perfect wedding venue with a positive history that contributed to the cultural heritage of Wales.

An amazing venue with staff that easily matched.

We planned our wedding from New Zealand for 09/21; however due to COVID things got delayed. Eldrydd kindly showed us round the venue via Zoom and we were able to change our dates for the following year without any issue. The help from Lou leading up to the big day as well as on the day itself was more than we could have hoped for and allowed us to enjoy the day without having to worry about the details.  She also helped us think and organize things we hadn’t originally thought of, the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for.

In terms of the venue itself, there were so many options for the ceremony, and we originally planned to have our wedding on the picturesque back lawn however our plans were thwarted by the rain! Thankfully during the summertime, they have a large stretch tent permanently up, so we were able to have the outdoor wedding we always wanted and because of the amazing house, drinks and canapés were seamlessly moved inside by the staff then outside when the weather finally cleared up.  The stables were in themselves spectacular but also very easy to decorate and put our own personal touches to make it match our wedding themes.

Choosing to spend extra days in the house itself was the best decision we made, all the rooms were beautifully furnished and clean and even came with bathrobes! We only wish we would have been able to stay longer to fully enjoy it all. Accommodation for guests was also readily available via the glamping tents, we only wish more had used them.

Everyone who came to the wedding was amazed by the venue, it truly is a magical place and could not recommend Plas Dinam and the team more. 

Plas Dinam Country House is the ultimate fairy-tale wedding venue. Two weeks on from our wedding, I am still pinching myself because it feels unreal to have had our wedding at such a sensational location. The house combines a unique feeling of majesty, homeliness and exclusivity all at once; your imagination really is the limit for how to style your weekend and wedding. I personally think that the most unique selling point for this venue is that your wedding is wrapped up in an intimate weekend away with friends and family (there are a number of accommodation options on site). Not only did this give our nearest and dearest an opportunity to meet one another before the big day, but it also gave us the chance to settle in and fully relax before we walked down the aisle! We used the days prior to the wedding to set up the stables, have a Team Bride versus Team Groom rounders match and host a pizza party using the house pizza oven!
Plas Dinam’s owners and wedding coordinators are fabulous and were on hand throughout the planning process and over the wedding weekend itself to advise, support and facilitate key events. Katie, Eldrydd and Tyson are all phenomenal at what they do and have created an idyllic set-up at Plas Dinam. Our wedding weekend will live with us and our friends and family forever. Thank you Plas Dinam!

Married June 2024

We could not have dreamt of a more beautiful setting for our wedding at Plas Dinam Country House. Eldrydd, Tyson and Julie were very approachable and helpful at every step of the way in planning our special weekend. The house and grounds are elegant and intimate at the same time. We all felt at ease and did not want to leave! Thank you so much for helping us have the perfect wedding weekend. We highly recommend this venue!

I don’t even know where to start with this review, as I don’t think I’ll be able to put into words how amazing Plas Dinam and the team are.

We knew this was the wedding venue for us as soon as we saw it – the beautiful scenery, gorgeous house, breathtaking stables and the incredible team at Plas Dinam. The venue truly is unique as you are able to hire it out exclusively for the entirety of your wedding. This is so special as it allows you to spend more than just one day with your guests. We had a pizza night on the Friday night before our wedding, which was so much fun! Tyson showed us how to use the oven and everyone enjoyed making their own pizza and socialising. We also hired out the lodge and the glamping tents as that enabled us to have a good number of our wedding party on site with us. It meant that everyone could explore the grounds and socialise before the wedding on the Saturday.

The true beauty of Plas Dinam is that it is a blank canvas. Eldrydd and her family are keen for you to make the wedding your own, so you really do get to create your own vision in the stunning stables. They are so helpful with any questions that you have along the way as you’re planning, they truly want your wedding to be everything you have imaged. Our wedding day went so smoothly due to all of Louise’s help. We didn’t have to worry about anything – it was perfect!

All of our friends and family commented on how beautiful the location was and also just how nice it was to be able to spend quality time together in such a gorgeous building.

It was our dream wedding venue and it honestly surpassed every expectation that we had. It truly was the best weekend ever and we can’t thank Eldyrdd, Tyson, and team enough!
