How it works

What exactly is The Giraffe Shed?

A decorated indoor space with a large illuminated heart backdrop, hanging paper lanterns, and seating arrangements for a romantic event or wedding.

We’re based on a legit working farm, so there are only so many weddings we can host each year. Our season runs from May to September, and those limited spaces get booked up pretty damn fast!

You can invite up to 100 guests for your ceremony and wedding breakfast, and up to 120 for the evening reception. Every wedding we host includes exclusive use of the venue, an indoor bar with late licence, outside bar, tables, benches and chairs, glass ware, fire pits and our snuggly cosy shepherd hut all to yourselves by our lake. Our Trailer Park accommodation is also here for you (we can sleep 18 people on site)

The Giraffe Shed is a location chameleon. Come for the weekend, or just for a day, create your own mini festival wedding, or channel stripped-back industrial vibes. It’s a child-friendly, pet-friendly, disabled access + all little details considered.

The majority of our customers book The Giraffe Shed for full weekend weddings. That means three days, Friday-Sunday, for you to make the venue yours, and enjoy it to the max!

We’ve also added micro-wedding packages to our menu, for those of you with busier schedules, more modest visions, or planning your wedding on a budget.

You’ll get exclusive use of the full venue from Friday-Sunday. That includes all our venue spaces (more info on those here), two bars, your private getting ready space, your room for 2 nights in the room of your choice. Wedding planning + co-ordination throughout.

When it comes to the practicalities, tables and benches/chairs are provided too, and the toilet situation includes facilities in The Shed and accommodation (find out more in our FAQs).

Catering and tableware isn’t provided in your hire fee, but we’ve got a whole list of amazing suppliers who’ll be more than happy to help with all your foodie needs. And of course, you can DIY every aspect of your wedding and bring it all with you too.

Classic Full Weekend! 🦒

We’re for the peeps who fancy bending the rules, binning the traditions that don’t feel like you, and throwing a wedding that actually makes sense for your vibe. No awkward bits, no “because you’re supposed to” moments — just do-your-own-thing energy and a day that feels unapologetically yours. Chaos optional, good times guaranteed.

Bringing your vision to life - The Giraffe Shed is a blank canvas wedding venue right in the heart of Wales — a big, beautiful space ready to be completely you. No rulesy vibes, no copy-and-paste weddings… just loads of room to let your personalities run wild.

We’re all about creativity, freedom and doing things your way. We’ll be right there with you every step of the way — laid-back + flexible, with plenty of calm energy, and a habit of going properly above and beyond. Think supportive best mates… but with clipboards (sometimes) It makes me feel important!

“There is so much attention to detail at the shed and you can tell there’s been so much thought, love and creative flair put into every little bit of the place. It’s a gorgeous blank canvas for you to inject as much fun and personality into as you want, but it’s equally stunning without any additional glitz and glamour.”
