Asked along the way.
How many guests can Château Rhianfa hold?+
Up to 92 for the ceremony and the seated wedding breakfast. Published evening figures differ between sources, at 120 in one listing and 145 in another, so confirm the current evening maximum with the venue before you build the list.
What does the wedding package cost and include?+
About £17,995 from October to March and £19,995 from April to September, based on 60 guests. It includes exclusive use with all 27 bedrooms, a menu tasting, reception drink, canapes, toastmaster, three-course breakfast with wine, evening buffet and breakfast for staying guests.
What do extra guests cost?+
Published rates add £99 per additional day guest up to the 92 maximum and £50 per additional evening guest. That structure makes the total unusually easy to model before you have even spoken to the venue.
Is the whole château ours?+
Yes. The wedding package is exclusive use, so the château, its 27 bedrooms, the terraces and the grounds down to the Menai Strait belong to your party with no other guests staying.
How do guests reach Anglesey?+
Manchester airport is about two hours by car and Liverpool an hour and forty-five. Bangor station, ten minutes away over the bridge, has direct trains from London Euston in around three and a half hours and from Chester in an hour.
What is there to do nearby?+
Beaumaris and its castle are ten minutes along the coast, the Snowdonia peaks are half an hour inland, and the Anglesey coast path runs past the grounds, so guests staying a few days have a proper holiday rather than a wait.
