About Ystwyth Garden Nursery
Planning your big day but looking for something a little less contrived or structured (and dare we say, expensive!)? Look no further! Nestled in the picturesque Cambrian Mountains, it's the perfect spot for a beautiful country-themed and eco-conscious wedding or reception. We can handle everything for you, or simply give you the space and let you have at it - the options are fully customisable to your requirements!
While we are not a licensed venue (so you cannot get legallly married here) we welcome all other kinds of ceremonies, including engagement parties, humanist ceremonies, hand-fastings, vow-renewals, and any other kind of spiritual commitment ceremonies.
Here's what the couple who had their wedding reception here in May 2025 had to say during the planning process...
“The event space is a great size, suitable for a huge marquee (or multiple smaller ones) but would also not feel overwhelming with a smaller wedding like ours. The views around are incredible and the site is so peaceful, the perfect place to celebrate with your loved ones. There’s loads of space for cars and the ability to adapt how you use the different areas of the site to suit however you want the day to run.
Tam and Paul have been so helpful with helping us source vendors, find accommodation for guests and brainstorm ideas. They’re very responsive to our ideas and more than happy to adapt and help out however we could need them to. We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding at such a brilliant venue.”

Our Sustainability Commitments
Our venue is completely off the grid - we have no connection to mains power, water or drainage. For this reason we manage our land very consciously and organically, rain water is collected, solar power provides electricity and sustainably managed portaloos are hired in for visitors over the summer and added to for big events. We never used chemical-based products, weed killers or pesticides, and it shows in the biodiversity of life on the land. When you have your wedding or reception here we encourage the use of biodegradable materials such as bird-seed, dried flowers or natural paper confetti, natural materials for decoration (we have an abundance of greenery all year round that can be used to make a simple marquee look absolutely gorgeous) and we don't allow balloons. We are in a Dark Sky Reserve area here, so the nights are DARK - but we have lots of beautiful solar, battery powered and usb-powered lighting to illuminate your way into the evening, and we can supply enough electricity to power music and other low-wattage gear you may require. Likewise, we have a large 1m diameter fire pit that is available if weather conditions are suitable. We have several large marquees available that are included in the price of hire, so you'll have plenty of shelter (just in case!) and a blank canvas to create the aesthetic you want for your big day.
