De Courceys is a manor on the edge of Cardiff that you get entirely to yourselves. No shared bar, no second wedding through the wall, no strangers wandering through the background of your photographs. Marry in the Floral Room or outside in the Secret Garden, drift between the gin lounge, the atrium and the lawns while the main suite is turned around behind you, then carry on into the evening with nobody hurrying you along. The cottages sleep the best part of 40, so your closest people are already home by the time the music stops. Countryside on the doorstep, junction 32 of the M4 minutes away, and a family running it who have done this often enough to make it look easy.
