A wedding on the beautiful island of Anglesey isn’t just a celebration; it’s a memory that will linger in your heart forever…
Whether you are a local couple looking to tie the knot close to home, or you are planning a destination wedding from further afield, saying ‘I Do’ to a celebration here on Anglesey is the first step towards an unforgettable day.
Here at the Anglesey Barn, we want you to let your imaginations run wild and plan your dream coastal celebration. With our stunning ‘blank canvas’ barn & cosy onsite accommodation, our little corner of Anglesey becomes yours for two whole days.
If you are just setting out on your wedding planning journey, or just need a bit of inspiration, we’ve pulled together some useful island intel to help you plan your perfect big-day…
Choose your ceremony location
If you would rather keep everything onsite, you can celebrate your marriage in our fully licenced barn, either in the main room or on the awe-inspiring covered terrace, which comes complete with a fully retractable roof for balmier days. Alternatively, you can make your vows in our warp around gardens with panoramic views across Lligwy Bay.If a quaint little church by the coast is your idyll, we have no shortage of those on the island. St Cwyfan’s Church looks like it is out of a film set. Perched on the tiny island of Cribinau, just off the coast of Aberffraw, it’s a truly magical spot. Likewise, our local church’s St Gwenllwyfo, Dulas, is super lovely and St Michael’s in Penrhoslligy is small but bursting with Welsh charm.
Agree your guest list
Our beautiful venue can seat up to 150 guests for your wedding + up to 220 for your evening celebrations, and we can accommodate 26/28 in our luxurious onsite accommodation + beautiful lodgings for an additional 34 very close by.
With that in mind, drafting your guest list, and deciding who stays where is part of the joy of hosting 2 full days of celebrations her at the Anglesey Barn!
Decide what time of year is for you
Spring – the island comes into bloom, we get some of the best, most consistent weather of the year and the island is a little less crowded.
Summer – long days, glistening seas, swathes of golden sand & warm sunny evenings. It’s easy to see why a summer island wedding ticks a lot of boxes, but book early!
Autumn – a myriad of colours, some of the best sunsets of the year which can make ‘golden hour’ extra special. The photographers dream!
Winter – wild seas, often cold winds, but even at this time of year, the coastline is still awe inspiring. Imagine a Christmas wedding, cosied up inside the barn, taking in all the drama of an Anglesey winter. This time of year, really suits smaller celebrations, so we can ensure a slick turnaround and keep guest warm, cosy and away from the elements!
Plan your food & drink
For us, this is the most important part of your celebration – after all, it’s the thing guests will talk about for years to come. Keeping your guests fed, watered, full & satisfied will really help to get the party started – that’s why we have partnered with some of the best in the business. Our catering partners Cheeky Chilli can create everything from funky street food to a bespoke fine dining extravaganza or even an island inspired feast!
Capturing the magic
The light, the backdrop, the photo opportunities – a wedding on the island of Anglesey can be pure cinematic magic! Whether your style is relaxed and boho, or elegant & poised, choosing the right photographer & videographer is a very personal choice, but here are a few we have worked with along the way…
So, if the pull of the island is strong, and you think a wedding on Anglesey is you, drop us a line, come and say ‘hi’, check out our spaces and let us help you plan something wonderful…
