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 14 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 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 canapés with views spanning over our neighbouring ponies, or for an evening chilled space subtly lit up to take in the events of the day. Finally our Wilde Safari Tent, a fabulous marquee nestled within the old barn walls, complete with its own bespoke 16ft bar, is the perfect dining turn dance area for all your guests to enjoy. From the dining room in the Main Lodge, ideal for more intimate family meals, to the riverside perfect for wild swimming, Wilde Lodge is full of secret gems. 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. If you would like to see our beautiful venue in person, please get in touch & we arrange this at a time that suits you!

Most Beautiful natural venue and accomodation for your perfect day!
Wilde Lodge was the absolute dream venue for our perfect day, and it went down as perfectly as we could have imagined! The space in the long barn for the ceremony and the safari tent for the wedding breakfast was ideal for our wedding of 70 people. We also used the Lodge and bell tents for our close family which all worked so well All the extra activities and seating areas are fantastic and meant our wedding guests could spread out and relax. Jemma made us feel so welcome and at home at the Lodge when we viewed to venue a year before the wedding and myself, my husband and our two small children all agreed immediately that we were going to get married there!! Hannah and her team went above and beyond on the day of the wedding for us behind the scenes making the day run smoothly. And on the run up to the wedding Hannah (our wedding coordinator from Wilde Lodge) had regular video calls with us to cover all bases and make sure the day ran perfectly for us. We would 100% recommend Wilde Lodge to everyone and so well uld all of our guests! Thank you so much Wilde Lodge team. Xxx

The most amazing day
We had the most amazing day at Wilde Lodge for our small family Wedding. From start to finish Hannah Davies was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, from helping with the food, the flowers, hairdressers, make up, Hannah knew the answers. All the staff made you feel special, Wilde Lodge are so lucky to have such fantastic staff. Its a truly beautiful place. Thank you all so much

So many spaces to use for creativity to flow
If you are looking for a venue that is stunning everywhere you look then you have found it! With gorgeous countryside and a river, a beautiful lodge and so many spaces to use for creativity to flow, this is such a special venue. We had the whole weekend to celebrate and Jemma and the team met us with nothing but encouragement, support and excitement about the plan we envisioned. They really did help make our weekend such a dream and I can’t thank them or recommend them enough.

Each space is beautiful, and so versatile.
It's hard to put into words how incredible this place is. We've just had our wedding here and it was everything we wanted and more. Each space is beautiful, and so versatile. You get so much for your money, it's worth every penny. We are so glad we've got photos and videos in all areas and the grounds. So we can look back on such a special day here. Can't recommend them enough.

Incredible Venue & Team
Highly recommend the venue & team at Wilde Lodge for anyone's wedding (big or small). If you are considering... definitely book!! Throughout the entire process the Wilde Lodge team were exceptional. Thanks to them we managed to book & plan our wedding in 5 weeks. A particular mention to Hannah (our coordinator aka "brides best friend") because she was just fantastic in the weeks leading up to the big day. We had regular catch up via Teams (as we live 2 hours away). Nothing was too much trouble and she completely put our minds at ease every time we spoke. Even between our catch ups all our email queries were dealt with really quickly by the team. The day itself was perfect. Despite the weather not being on our side (we'd planned an outdoor ceremony), Hannah was well organised with the back up plan ready to go, which actually turned out to be better than the origional idea. All the staff were really friendly and made our guests feel welcome & at ease. All the small details were thought of and taken care of before you had a chance to worry about them (like the groom forgetting to put on his boutonniere). Still getting wonderful comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the day, how stunning the venue is & how helpful the staff were. Bonus... it's also dog friendly. Thanks so much Wilde Lode. We will be back to visit soon Mr & Mrs Phillips

Stunning rural wedding venue
Wilde lodge was local to us so made sense for us to go to an open day. We were blown away by the stunning backdrop, and fell in love with the stunning ceremony location of the Long Barn. We had to book it. We also loved the fact that we could get the venue for the whole weekend meaning family from further afield could stay and making the whole process stress free. The fact we could set up the day before also meant we spent the morning of our wedding focused on us.

Our amazing summer day ❤️
We had our amazing day in August, at the stunning wilde lodge. Wilde lodge was local to us so made sense for us to go to an open day. We were blown away by the stunning backdrop, and fell in love with the stunning ceremony location of the Long Barn. We had to book it. We also loved the fact that we could get the venue for the whole weekend meaning family from further afield could stay and making the whole process stress free. The fact we could set up the day before also meant we spent the morning of our wedding focused on us. Jess our wedding coordinator was fantastic from start to finish. Not only was she simply lovely, she was easy to talk to and any questions we had she answered quickly. During the day she was always on hand, helping organise everything, being super reassuring, and providing much needed pina coladas. A few amazing extras they have at Wilde Lodge also topped it off for us. Our dog was there on the day which a lot of venues don't allow. Jess even helped up put her harness on. They have a stunning Landrover to take you for photos which was amazing in it's own right. The bar staff were also stellar and just so lovely, making our own custom cocktails. Many thanks, Mr and Mrs Griffiths

A day so perfect we're desperate to do it again!
Where can we start?! We fell in love with Wilde Lodge the moment we found it online - let alone the private visit we had and then two subsequent trips for open days! We were made to feel so welcome and comfortable at every single visit. The setting is so private and tranquil that we really felt like Wilde Lodge was 'ours' over our wedding stay, and that feeling will forever be a real highlight for us. The quality of the accommodation and various areas in which you can conduct your ceremony and reception is just incredible. Wilde Lodge is a truly luxurious countryside home and grounds! The staff, however, were the cherry on top. Hannah, our magnificent wedding coordinator, was on hand from the very beginning - responding quickly to our numerous 'silly questions', checking in with us via video call and then being the most caring and supportive cheerleader when we arrived to set up...not to mention taking care of us both separately when nerves about public speaking inevitably hit. We don't think we've ever seen someone graft so hard and put in so many hours to make sure that we felt that everything was exactly how we pictured it. Wilde Lodge...wow. Thank you.

A Fairytale Wedding Venue
Whilst this review has been in the making some time following our wedding in July this year, we simply felt time was needed to do absolute justice to the truly wonderful venue that is Wilde Lodge. Having been to see a few venues around our local area prior to booking, we had continued to leave venues somewhat overwhelmed and deflated. We had started wondering if that feeling of knowing a venue is 'the one' was a simple fairytale. That was however until we stumbled across Wilde Lodge back in 2023 and thankfully booked ourselves in for one of the many open days they were offering to perspective couples. Whilst some may say it was the delicious cinnamon buns that drew us in (and they wouldn't be lying), it was hard not to fall in love with the beautiful grounds, lodge and white wash walls of the venues wedding barn (just one of the many places the venue has to offer for your ceremony to take place). It was on that day and upon driving back down the tree lined lane that we knew Wilde Lodge was meant for us and their was no other place we wished to get married. Whilst the venues location and utter character is hard to beat, it is the staff who truly make Wilde Lodge what it is with their dedication, kindness and hospitality. From the staff behind the bar, to those cleaning tables and all of the other tasks that go on behind the scene, every single member helped to make our wedding day an utter success and we cannot thank them enough. We do however want to extend our special thanks to our truly amazing wedding coordinator Hannah who is an absolute angel and brought our wedding dreams to life. Not only on the wedding day itself but on the months leading up to the wedding, be that via email or during our scheduled checkins Hannah was always on hand and helped to make the somewhat stressful time of planning a wedding a rewarding and much easier process. Not only ourselves but our whole family are forever grateful to Hannah, words will never be enough to thank her for what she did in helping us becoming a newly married couple. Wilde Lodge will always have a special place in ours and our families hearts and we will remember our wedding day with memories of pure joy and happiness. Sending all our love to the Wilde Lodge Team and to all those considering booking a visit to Wilde Lodge, dont wait a moment longer, do it and know that you will be finding the wedding venue of your absolute dreams! Mr and Mrs Ewers ❤️

Magic from start to finish
The venue is spectacular, so many amazing spaces and beautiful views, and the food by CSONS perfect. We are overjoyed that we found Wilde Lodge and you all. You delivered the day we always hoped to achieve and more and you did it whilst making us feel like family. Your support and guidance in the run up to the day made us feel in such safe hands and took a lot of worry away from this stressed bride! We hope to return to the magical Wilde Lodge for many years to come. Love from the Wilkses!

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 is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try not to overwhelm yourself. There's a lot of social pressure around weddings, but focus on what truly matters to you and your partner. Also it’s a cliche but just enjoy it! From finding the right venue, to picking out suppliers, take everything one step at a time & fully embrace the process.

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.

Describe Wilde Lodge in 5 adjectives

Unique, Magical, Relaxed, Wholesome, Intimate

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?

Not just yet, but our doors are open!

What’s your favourite canapé?

It's hard to choose we have so many amazing caterers on our exclusive suppliers list! Enquire to view our wedding & catering guide for our mouthwatering options.

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!

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. They also allow us to hold bell tents for up to 100 guests to stay on site, lit up beautifully with fairy lights.

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!
