We feel very lucky to have got married at Insole Court, especially knowing we can come back to our "local" whenever we want for farmer's markets, dog walks, show our future babies where we got married - and I'm afraid - probably all our events, significant birthdays and anniversaries for time to come! It is a gorgeous venue that created the most beautiful backdrop to our special day, and a real hidden gem in a world of white marquees!!
Our day was absolutely beautiful and so special. I think we gave Heledd a few grey hairs with an 8 month engagement-wedding turnaround, a bustling crowd of army/rugby lads that drank the bar dry, our dog running off down the aisle mid-ceremony, a bride (sorry!) that oft-departed from Heledd's lovely plan and was very "gather everyone, now I fancy (first dance/champagne tower/sabrage.. yes really)". That being said, she was an absolute superstar - hosting lots of meetings, speaking to all our vendors, very much teaching us what we needed, letting me in for many visits/photoshoots/practice runs! She was a wedding planner and coordinator all in one, and we are so grateful for her!
Insole Court gave us the luxury, history, the white-glove service and support and a phenomenal, memorable day for all our guests that we feel so grateful to have found. I'm so pleased other couples can share in the magic and make the happiest...

Insole Court was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we booked the venue, Heledd was incredibly helpful, guiding us through the planning, offering advice, and being on hand throughout the day to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Insole Court itself is stunning, full of charm and character. Having access to the different rooms gave the day such a wonderful flow and allowed our guests to enjoy each part of the space in a different way. On our sunny August wedding day, so many guests commented on how amazing the venue is!
What we loved most about Insole Court was the flexibility to create a day that felt truly us. We had the freedom to shape the celebration around our own ideas, which made it all the more special.
Being right in the heart of Cardiff added so much to the experience. It was easy for our guests to get to, and it felt even more special that we were celebrating in a vibrant community space.
We’re so grateful to everyone at Insole Court for helping us bring our vision to life, and we’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful setting with...

Stunning Cardiff Wedding Venue – Insole Court ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a South Wales wedding photographer, I always love shooting at Insole Court in Cardiff. This Victorian Gothic mansion is full of character – the grand architecture and beautifully kept gardens make it a dream location for timeless wedding photos.
Inside, the light-filled rooms are perfect for capturing real, emotional moments throughout the day. Outside, the gardens are magical – ideal for romantic portraits, golden hour shots, and relaxed couple time away from the crowds.
The venue team are always welcoming and professional, helping the day run smoothly so couples (and suppliers!) can just enjoy the experience.
