Reviews

  • Maria and Carl – 01/08/2016

    We had the best day of our lives at our wedding in St Fagans National History Museum and we could not be happier with the service that was provided.

  • Debbie – 07/2015

    St Fagans National History Museum was my daughter's wedding and reception venue and we all had the most amazing day. The setting was so beautiful - the gardens were in full bloom for guests to wander through the many flowerbeds and gardens. The sun shone on what I can only describe as the most picturesque scene.

  • Gareth - 12/2015

    We had our wedding in St Fagans castle and I cannot thank the staff at the museum enough for their efforts in providing such a lovely service. The museum has something for everyone and is a real asset to Wales.
