Wilde Lodge Full Description
Every wedding at Wilde Lodge includes exclusive use of the venue for up to three nights, guaranteeing privacy and tranquility. The Main Lodge sleeps 10 and features thoughtfully designed rooms that combine the traditional feel of the house with contemporary touches.
Next to the Main Lodge is 'The Long Barn' which is a recently converted rustic space to say 'I do' in front of 90 seated guests or simply to use to party the night away in. The barn can be transformed into a chill out area, cinema, dance floor or cocktail bar, the choice is completely yours!
Our 'Open Barn' is the perfect social space for welcome drinks and canepes with views spanning over our neighbouring ponies, or for an evening chilled space subtly light up to take in the events of the day.
The newest addition to the site is the Wilde Safari Tent, a fabulous marquee nestled within the old barn walls, complete with its own bespoke 16ft bar, this is the perfect dining turn dance area for all your guests to enjoy.
The Wilde Catering team have an array of delicious menu options for you to choose from as well as the option to create something especially for you. The passionate, innovative and creative team guarantee to offer a memorable culinary experience. The Wilde Bar team will also be on-hand at the stunning 16ft oak bar, serving up drinks and cocktails tailored to your tastes.
Wilde Lodge pride themselves on their 'hidden extras' all in place to make your day perfectly unique. From the Secret Dining Room in the Main Lodge, ideal for more intimate family meals, to the riverside which is ideal for BBQs and wild swimming. The large gardens and grounds allow plenty of space to create beautiful Bell Tent Villages so all your guests can have a luxurious glamping experience and your wedding can extend beyond the day and turn into a full weekend celebration.

Incredible venue!
We spent almost a year looking for a wedding venue before finally finding Wilde Lodge. We wanted a relaxed celebration with our closest friends and family for our wedding day and Wilde Lodge was just absolutely perfect.
A huge thank you to everyone at Wilde Lodge for giving us the absolute wedding day. We would definitely be described as wedding averse but all the staff at the venue went above and beyond helping us create the best day and giving complete flexibility with what we wanted to do.
The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and everyone has raved about how great the venue is. The options for small weddings (under 30 guests for us) are also excellent if that's what you are looking for - the spaces are so versatile and somehow felt so intimate yet also a great space if you wanted a bigger celebration.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day and can't wait to come back one day!

Unbelievable
I cannot thank Jemma and the team enough. From start to finish they have been nothing but helpful, polite, organised and completely understood exactly what we wanted.
The venue itself it’s stunning, relaxed and soo cosy. I loved the fact the we could use every space of the venue for different parts of the day.
Jemma and the team are so helpful, kind and I love them all.
Csons made a special request for our food menu, we wanted a super relaxed day and asked for burgers from their restaurant menu and doughnuts for pudding and it was delicious.
Thank you so much Jemma and everyone at Wilde lodge for going above and beyond for us! All of our guests have said how amazing it was!

Wedding of a lifetime
Wilde Lodge fulfilled our every expectation and much more! The venue is beautiful with many different areas, and lots of options for all weather. The ceremony in the long barn was absolutely perfect and no silly rules of no confetti inside, which made for brilliant photos!
The team are outstanding, we cannot thank Jemma, Jules and Hannah (and the behind the scenes staff) enough for all their hard work and being so attentive to every detail. They really do think of everything.
Highly recommend, if we could do it all again we would in a heartbeat.

Wilde Lodge made our wedding day simply amazing!
We were so so impressed with Wilde Lodge. The setting for a start is just beautiful, in the Welsh countryside. Views of the little stream, forests and hills set the scene for a wonderful weekend. The house and grounds were very stylish, kept very clean and the interiors were well thought out. The staff were incredible, especially Jemma who really went above and beyond especially throughout the whole process of planning. She really made us feel in capable hands with everything running so smooth over the weekend. The team are obviously pros at this because they knew exactly what they were doing, just running the grounds and keeping all of the guests happy but without being overly intrusive. Our guests all loved the venue and made many comments on how great everything was. We are more than happy with our experience at WL. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would.

A stunning wedding venue - 10/10
Such a gorgeous remote location -it was perfect for our wedding. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were super friendly. We really enjoyed the flexibility of the venue so that we could make the weekend our own. Only slight issue was taxis in the area - it was difficult getting the guests to and from the event but we figured something out in the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at Wilde Lodge?
Although we love all our weddings, one of the best was with a lovely couple who started with an intimate dinner on the day they arrived, got up and went for a walk and a swim with their loved ones, truly making the most of the countryside. The morning after their big party and plenty of dancing, the guests woke up, had a game of croquet in their pyjamas and dinned on a big BBQ lunch! Seeing the bride, groom and their guests being able to relax and make the most of the venue is what we love most.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of our most recent couples had a love for literature and had a book swap set up in our long barn where guests were encouraged to bring a personal favourite read to swap and share with other guests. It was lovely to see guests get involved in the gesture and take a moment to share the interests of the Bride and Groom.

Where’s the best photo spot at Wilde Lodge?
There are so many glorious spots, but we have seen some amazing photos taken down by the river at golden hour with the beautiful welsh hills as the backdrop. But we are also very lucky to have our rustic barns which make a great feature in our photos too!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Wilde Lodge?

What’s your favourite canapé?
It's hard to choose a favourite canape from our caterers CSONS, but would definitely have to say the five spice duck pancake with peanuts, sesame, pickled cucumber and plum is up there. From amazing barbequed meats, to vegetarian and vegan dishes CSONS manage to bring together flavours to create an unforgettable dining experience
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
It would have to be toasted marshmallows on our fire pits outside the barns. It is a perfect midnight snack to keep you toasty next to the fires to give your feet a break from dancing all night long! But if you're after a bit of a bigger bite to eat our caters do amazing chicken shwarmas or delicious burgers to keep you going all night!
What is Wilde Lodge most unique feature?
Our most unique feature would have to be the beautiful grounds that we are set on. On 15 acres of land which is all available for you to use throughout your whole stay for games, family walks, photos and everything in-between, this would have to be our most unique feature.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
The way my husband and I have built this business from the ground up! When we first took over the Lodge it required a total renovation that we did ourselves, which we have constantly been building upon since then. To be able to watch couples and guests arrive and enjoy the site that we have given our time and hearts to is the best part about what we do!
