With its beautifully kept fairways, sweeping views, and warm hospitality, this venue combines the natural beauty of the countryside with the convenience of being just minutes from Cardiff city centre. It’s a perfect choice for couples who want to celebrate in style without straying too far from home.
A Peaceful Retreat in the City
Cardiff Golf Club enjoys a superb location — peaceful, scenic, and wonderfully private. The clubhouse overlooks its championship course, surrounded by mature trees and manicured greens, giving you and your guests a sense of calm and exclusivity.
Inside, the décor strikes the right balance between traditional and contemporary, creating a welcoming atmosphere that suits both formal weddings and relaxed, family-style celebrations. Whether you’re planning a grand occasion or an intimate gathering, the team at Cardiff Golf Club are known for their professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces
The main function suite, situated on the first floor of the clubhouse, is the heart of wedding celebrations here. Large windows flood the room with natural light, while the adjoining balcony offers spectacular views across the course — a perfect spot for photographs or for guests to enjoy drinks between the ceremony and reception.
The room can comfortably accommodate up to 120 guests for a seated wedding breakfast and is fully self-contained with a private bar and dance floor. For smaller events, the space can be divided to create a more intimate setting. The neutral décor makes it easy to match your colour scheme, from classic white and gold to modern sage, blush, or navy themes.
The Perfect Setting for Your Wedding Day
Imagine exchanging vows as sunlight streams across the green fairways beyond the windows. The ceremony room at Cardiff Golf Club provides a light, romantic backdrop for saying “I do,” with space for live musicians to perform during the bridal entrance or signing of the register.
After the ceremony, your guests can enjoy a relaxed drinks reception on the balcony, taking in panoramic views of the golf course while the staff serve canapés and champagne. The transition to the wedding breakfast is seamless, with dining tables beautifully arranged and plenty of space for toasts, speeches, and laughter. Later, the room transforms effortlessly into an evening celebration area — ready for dancing, live music, or a DJ.

JAM Duo at Cardiff Golf Club
JAM Duo were delighted to provide music for a recent wedding at Cardiff Golf Club — and it was an absolute pleasure to perform in such a refined yet relaxed environment.
For the ceremony, we performed a blend of romantic classics and contemporary arrangements for piano and cello. The acoustics in the main suite were beautiful, allowing our music to fill the room naturally without amplification.
During the drinks reception, we relocated to the balcony area, playing a mixture of gentle modern covers and timeless pieces while guests enjoyed champagne and conversation against the backdrop of the golf course.
As the celebrations continued into the wedding breakfast, we provided a mellow instrumental soundtrack that complemented the flow of the meal and speeches, adding elegance without overpowering conversation. Cardiff Golf Club’s balance of space, natural light, and excellent sound makes it a joy for live musicians — every note resonates warmly and clearly.
For couples seeking music that perfectly matches the tone of their day, JAM Duo’s signature combination of cello and piano provides a romantic and versatile soundtrack. Every piece we play is arranged live by Jules and Anne-Marie, ensuring the music feels unique and personal. With over 300 recorded examples on our Listen page, couples can explore a wide variety of genres — from Bridgerton-style instrumentals to modern chart hits — all performed 100% live, without backing tracks.
Planning Tips for Couples
- Guest Numbers: The main suite comfortably fits around 100–120 guests for the meal and evening party. Smaller weddings can be easily accommodated too.
- Timing: The natural light in the early evening is particularly beautiful for photos on the balcony, so plan your ceremony with golden-hour portraits in mind.
- Music Placement: The suite’s layout is ideal for musicians — the piano and cello work wonderfully near the windowed side of the room, ensuring visibility and balance.
- Décor: With its neutral interior, the room can be transformed with floral arches, fairy lights, candles, or greenery to match any theme.
- Weather Plan: While the balcony is perfect for outdoor mingling, there’s plenty of indoor space should the Welsh weather turn unpredictable.
