Until our fabulous wedding festival starts we have been casting a spotlight on a different area this stunning venue has to offer every week and this Thursday is the turn of the marquee on the elegant Castle Grounds.
Marquee sites have grown in popularity over recent years particularly those which offer couples spectacular views for their big day, such as those found on-site at St Fagans . The marquee, set within the exquisite grounds of the castle, gives couples a blank canvas from which to plan their special day.
Located on the beautiful Castle Lawns, and catering for up to 140, guests enter the marquee through double wooden doors to be greeted by an elegant interior, draped with ivory colour linings and completed with wooden floors and carpet. There is also a choice of coloured overlays available to compliment the colour scheme of any wedding day. Chandeliers and uplighters light the marquee to carry through the magical feel of the venue.
A dance floor is installed in the marquee with the option of star lighting over the floor for the evening. A double fronted bar is installed and tables are provided for cake stands and signing of guests books or presents. Additional extras include a luxury mobile toilet unit, air heaters and staging.
The beauty of a marquee wedding is the ability to design your own space and the marquee at St Fagans has seen a number of themes, from vintage, to glamour to a more dramatic use of colour. A marquee has the advantage of being a blank canvas allowing couples the opportunity to decorate the interior to fit in with the wedding theme.
One added benefit of marquee weddings is that they can allow for more space and additional guests to attend on the day. At St Fagans , there is also the possibility of a plasma screen link from the Castle to the marquee, which enables additional guests to attend and view the ceremony from marquee if attendee numbers becomes an issue. 
Available seasonally between May to September, 4pm to midnight, a number of packages also include free use of the Castle or Oakdale Hall for civil ceremonies.
