We went for the Friday Jazz evening. Very very busy. We managed to get seats in the bar area with a restricted view of the performers, but often had to ask people not to stand in front of us. The music was excellent and it was a very entertaining evening.

My first time for photographing a wedding at Rwcmd. Stunning building situated overlooking bute park. Lots of beautiful place for portraits. Staff would friendly and looked after me on the day.

If you are looking for a wedding venue with the wow factor and ample space for you and your guests to enjoy, then you should seriously consider the Real Welsh College of Music. The real highlight of weddings here is the incredible main hall with the balcony and walkway where couples can make a grand entrance into their wedding breakfast. The outside decking area looks so cute with the fairy lights at night. There's a local park next door, which is the ideal spot for some laid back pics and some precious time alone as a couple after saying 'I do". We really enjoy photographing and filming weddings here and can definitely recommend it as a top wedding venue!

Good space for appreciation new compositions from a range of tallented musical artists. The space is defined into a wooden panel auditorium and more studio like performance rooms. Outside architecture adds to the contemporary look of modern Cardiff.

Always an amazing place. My son attended and has really enjoyed his time. The opportunities afforded him have been astounding and I am sure he will look on this place with amazing affection. Beautiful designed building and the acoustics in the concert hall and theatre are brilliant.
