A big thank you to the fabulous events team at Insole Court. We had a wonderful wedding day at the venue and the rooms were stunning for our ceremony and reception. Thank you for making the whole process so smooth, and for supporting us every step of the way in the months before and especially on the day. Our guests loved it and we are already looking forward to returning for our anniversary.

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 memories here!

Our wedding day was nothing short of perfection, and that is all thanks to this incredible venue. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless yet so thoughtfully planned. The space itself is stunning, the staff are fantastic especially Heledd the wedding coordinator, who we felt was genuinely dedicated to making your day unforgettable. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. It was bespoke, beautifully run, and exceeded every expectation we had. If you are considering this venue for your special day, please do. We will never forget it - Luke & Becky

Amazing to come and see our past family home! So I'm possibly a little biased however, the house was amazing!!! Steeped in history, this iconic hidden gem of a home and grounds is wonderful for a restful visit to take it all in, and get out of the 'hustle and bustle' of the city centre of Cardiff. Staff and volunteers were amazing and knowledgeable about the home and history. It's rare to see. Enjoy it!

So much fun, genuinely one of my favorite things I saw on my entire Wales trip. The tour guides were lovely, the grounds were incredible, and the house was full of history and charm. Such a cheap, fun activity if you are in the area!
