Whether you’re hosting an intimate ceremony, a lively reception, or everything in between, the barn can be tailored to fit your vision.
Tailor Your Dream Wedding
One of the most unique features of Tanygraig is the flexibility it offers couples. When you book your wedding here, you’ll have exclusive access to the venue for four full days prior to your big day.

The barn offers a variety of spaces, each designed to enhance a different aspect of your wedding day:
- The Reception Area: This spacious, versatile area is perfect for greeting your guests with drinks, enjoying group photos, or setting up a fun photo booth or wedding games. If the weather is unpredictable, it’s also a great backup space. There’s even room for a bouncy castle—because, why not?
- The Dining Area: Featuring rich mahogany tables and chairs, this area comfortably seats up to 200 guests. The elegant, rustic setting will make your dinner reception feel like a warm, welcoming celebration.

A Family Affair with a Personal Touch
The story behind Tanygraig is as heartfelt as the venue itself. Dyfrig and Emily, who now run the business, chose to host their own wedding reception in the barn after Dyfrig’s family had farmed the land for years. What started as a “bonkers” idea turned into a beautiful reality, with the barn becoming a hub for family, friends, and the local community. Today, Dyfrig and Emily continue to run Tanygraig alongside their farming and NHS work, making this venue even more special with their personal touch and dedication.
