Eloping is the newest trend

Big celebrations have never been everyone’s idea of a dream day. However, recent Covid restrictions seem to have set a trend towards more intimate ceremonies and elopements. More couples are now choosing to celebrate with a small group of loved ones. If this sounds like you, we can help you make your elopement, the event of your dreams.

Using our online ceremony planner, you’ll have full control over your Vale of Glamorgan elopement, and design a day that is as unique as you. Our experienced Registrars are on hand to answer your queries during the planning stage, and will make sure that your special day will be one to remember.

How about bringing a select group of your favourite people to witness your candlelit ceremony in the woods at Llandough Castle Gardens?

If you enjoy being by the coast, the Observatory Room at the top of Penarth Pier Pavilion has the splendid Bristol Channel as its backdrop.

For an unforgettable elopement, head for the beach huts on Barry Island and exchange your vows with a seaside view.

The Summer House, set within the Walled Garden at Gileston Manor Estate, is an intimate, historic location, with a honeymoon suite in The Apple Store and overnight accommodation for your guests.

Or go classic - with a beautifully simple ceremony at the Vale of Glamorgan Register Office. Small and perfectly formed, this really is the traditional elopement venue.

If you decide to elope, you’ll need to give the minimum notice to your local Registrars but how formal or informal the actual day will be, is up to you. It might be just the excuse you need to buy that slightly outrageous outfit you keep coming back to, or to tell your florist to let their creative flair run wild.

Whatever you decide, get the process started by checking out our venues.
