2. Set a Realistic Budget

Before diving into the details, outline your budget. Decide what matters most — be it the dress, the food, or the entertainment — and allocate funds accordingly. Don’t forget to leave a little wiggle room for last-minute touches.

3. Think Seasonally

Weddings in Pembrokeshire are beautiful all year round, but consider how the season might affect your day. A summer wedding at Plas Hyfryd means garden ceremonies and golden sunsets, while winter weddings create an intimate, cosy atmosphere inside the hotel.

4. Keep Your Guest List in Mind

Your guest list will influence everything from venue size to catering. Plas Hyfryd caters beautifully for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations — flexibility is key!

5. Don’t Delay the Dress

Whether you’re buying off-the-rack or going bespoke, give yourself plenty of time. You want to feel comfortable, confident, and completely “you”.

6. Choose Suppliers Who “Get” You

From florists to photographers, choose wedding suppliers who understand your vision. Local Pembrokeshire wedding suppliers often know the Plas inside and out — making the whole experience that much smoother.

7. Plan the Timeline

A clear timeline keeps things on track — for you, your guests, and your suppliers. At Plas Hyfryd, our experienced wedding team can help guide your schedule to keep things stress-free on the day.

8. Add a Personal Touch

Make the day yours with custom vows, unique favours or a playlist that tells your story. Plas Hyfryd’s beautiful interiors and private grounds are the perfect canvas for your personality.

9. Consider Guest Experience

Think about the little things: signage, seating plans, and comfort touches like blankets for cooler evenings. These thoughtful extras are what guests remember.

10. Trust the Process

Finally, trust your team. Our wedding coordinators at Plas Hyfryd are here to help every step of the way — from your first tour of the venue to your final farewell as newlyweds.
