About the venue

A French château on the Menai Strait

Just outside Menai Bridge on Anglesey, Château Rhianfa was built in 1849 by Sir John Hay Williams for his wife, Lady Sarah, inspired by the châteaux of the Loire Valley. Its turrets and gardens run down to the shore of the Menai Strait.

Ceremonies can take place in several spots across the estate, including outdoors, with drinks on the terrace and photos in the Parterre Garden by the water.

The Banqueting Hall hosts the larger celebrations, and the Drawing Room suits a smaller wedding. With exclusive use, the château takes up to around 145 guests.

27 bedrooms across the château and its lodge sleep around 54, with bridal and honeymoon suites, so most of your guests can stay for breakfast the next morning.

Vows by the water, horns in the Banqueting Hall.

Why a live band

A fairytale venue for a big night

Turrets, sea views and guests staying over. Château Rhianfa is made for a wedding with live music.

A proper party

Live music and a dancefloor are part of the plan here, and a horn section sounds fantastic in the Banqueting Hall.

Vows by the water

Our acoustic singer and guitarist can play your ceremony outdoors with the Menai Strait behind you.

Nobody leaving early

With most guests staying overnight, the party can run right to the last song.

Horns on the terrace

On a summer afternoon our roaming brass band can play on the terrace while the photos are taken.
