If you’re searching for a luxury wedding venue in South Wales that offers history, grandeur, and unforgettable views, allow me to introduce you to the latest hidden gem; Glen Usk.
Tucked away in the heart of the Usk Valley, just a stone’s throw from the renowned Celtic Manor Resort, Glen Usk is the wedding venue that’s about to steal the spotlight for 2026 and beyond, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be their trusted photographer & videographer.
A Piece of South Wales History
Built in 1820 for Sir Digby Mackworth Bt., Glen Usk is a stunning Neoclassical country house set in Llanhennock, Monmouthshire. With its Grade II listing*, meticulously preserved architecture, and historic landscaped gardens registered by Cadw/ICOMOS, Glen Usk is more than a venue, it’s a time capsule of elegance and charm.
From the moment you enter the grounds, you’re greeted with beauty, character, and a sense of timeless romance, the perfect canvas for your wedding story.
Unrivalled Views and Grounds
Set high above the valley, Glen Usk offers panoramic views of the Usk Valley, with sweeping vistas over the Celtic Manor Lodges and the famous 2010 Golf Course. The views alone feel like something out of a destination wedding, you’ll genuinely have to pinch yourself.
The grounds also include a stunning Greek-style architectural temple, perfect for wedding portraits or an intimate outdoor ceremony. It’s the kind of setting that doesn’t just photograph well, it tells a story.
Luxury Accommodation for You and Your Guests
Set across four storeys, Glen Usk features eight beautifully designed bedrooms, providing on-site accommodation for you and your closest family or friends. This is no ordinary wedding stay, this is a place where memories are made across three days of celebration.
Whether you’re enjoying a pre-wedding dinner, a relaxed morning getting ready, or unwinding after the big day, the scale of the house and grounds makes it ideal for extended celebrations.
Celebrate in Style with up to 100+ Guests
With the capacity to host weddings of over 100 guests, Glen Usk strikes the perfect balance between intimate and grand. Whether you’re planning a lively, all-out celebration or a more elegant, understated affair, the space is flexible and designed with weddings in mind from day one.
