Anna and Callum: The Old Barn Inn, South Wales January 2026

Fantastic With Fizz were delighted to provide the music for Anna and Callum’s wedding in Newport last weekend. We arrived to play the guests in to the beautiful Ceremony before Anna entered looking stunning to the gorgeous Theme from Jurassic Park. After entertaining the little ones who were fascinated by the music, during the register signing we played Until I found you and The shape of you before they exited to Signed, Sealed, Delivered. This was followed by a quick 20 minute drive to The Old Barn Inn where we continued to entertain with an upbeat set including Galway Girl and Dance The Night. Anna and Callum are the most lovely couple, we really enjoyed putting the music together for this wonderful wedding and wish them and their babies all the very best for the future.

The Old Barn Inn, South Wales

Tucked away in the quiet village of Llanmartin, The Old Barn Inn offers a wedding experience that feels worlds away from the bustle of Newport, despite being just a short drive from the M4. This 17th-century heritage site has evolved into a premier venue by blending its rugged, historic roots with a refined sense of modern luxury

Welsh hospitality in a grand setting

The venue’s identity is defined by its rustic elegance. Inside, you’ll find the hallmark features of a traditional Welsh inn—exposed stone walls, heavy timber beams, and roaring fireplaces—which create an intimate, “country-chic” atmosphere. The primary event space, the Penhow Suite, is designed to host both the ceremony and the wedding breakfast, providing a seamless transition throughout the day without losing that cozy, historic charm.

For the reception, the inn emphasizes high-quality, locally sourced Welsh cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a formal multi-course banquet or a more relaxed, rustic feast, the catering is built around seasonal ingredients and a classic gastropub sensibility. This focus on hospitality extends to the on-site accommodation, where the rooms (including a standout bridal suite) pair antique character with high-end, contemporary finishes.

Beyond the walls, the terrace and manicured gardens offer a picturesque setting for photographs and outdoor drinks. Because of its scale, The Old Barn Inn is particularly well-suited for couples seeking exclusive use of a venue, ensuring the entire property remains a private sanctuary for their guests. It strikes that rare balance: a venue that feels grand enough for a milestone occasion, yet personal enough to feel like home.

Amy & Rhys: Hensol Castle, South Wales December 2025

The last few weddings of 2025 are in full swing! We started our post-Christmas celebrations with Amy and Rhys in the beautiful Hensol Castle in South Wales! Amy’s bridesmaids entered to a specially requested violin cover of Marry Me by Train before Amy entered, looking stunning with the most gorgeous tiara, to Ordinary by Alex Warren. During the register signing we played another special request, 28 by Zach Bryan, very appreciate as it was the 28th December! We then played them out to Iris which is always a banger!
During the confetti shots we quickly relocated to the bar where we played an upbeat violin set before returning for the Wedding Breakfast for some Bridgerton music. Afterwards we were treated to a fabulous 3 course dinner which was a real surprise, made extra special as we ate with the magician who was utterly superb! If youre looking for a magician, check out Adam James Reeves, he was amazing!
We had the best time at this beautiful wedding and wish Amy and Rhys every happiness for the future and look forward to seeing their news in May!

Hensol Castle, South Wales

Casey and Owain: Oxwich Bay Hotel, Swansea December 2025

Beautiful Christmas wedding by the seaside! We were so privileged to provide a full daytime wedding music package for Casey and Owain at their gorgeous wedding venue Oxwich Bay Hotel in Swansea! The Christmas spirit was amazing, the decorations were nothing short of sensational with everything Christmassy you could wish for from a Santa’s grotto to a roaring fire! Casey had chosen some gorgeous music, after Owain’s entrance to Stand By Me with his Mum, she entered to the Bridgerton version of Coldplay’s Yellow. During the resister signing we played Kiss Me and Accidentally in Love before they walked out to Signed, Sealed and Delivered. After an upbeat set during the drinks reception we then relocated for the Wedding Breakfast for which they had booked a mix of sax and violin songs. They also booked the juke box option and the guests loved it, texting us so many song requests and singing along!! Casey and Owain very kindly provided us with a 3 course meal afterwards which was delicious and as we were finally packing up to go home we did an impromptu Carol singalong just for fun! What an amazing atmosphere there was all day at this gorgeous festive fiesta! Thank you so much Casey and Owain for having Fantastic With Fizz as part of your special day!

Casey and Owain say:

“I don’t even know where to start, all I can say is Andy & Sam are both the most kindest, down to earth people. They have been nothing but amazing throughout the whole wedding planning. They take such great care and pride into the music they play, they capture how you really feel on that day and add to the emotions in that very special moment. They were just incredible and so, so, so talented. I couldn’t have imagined not having them there, with the key music they played at such special times and memories that will last forever now we have a song designated to that special time. So thank you both so so much, you were just incredible and I really hope we get to hear your incredible talent again in the future. All the best, love Casey & Owain xx”

Oxwich Bay Hotel, Swansea

If you’re dreaming of a wedding with sea-spray in the air and golden sand underfoot, Oxwich Bay Hotel is the kind of place you’ll fall for. Perched on the coast of the Gower Peninsula, this enchanting former rectory dates back to 1788 — with rustic stone walls, a chestnut-tree rooted log-burner and dramatic wooden beams, its charm meets coastal grandeur.

A wedding by the beach

You could exchange vows in the intimate warmth of the Chestnut Room, with its glow of the fireplace and timeless ambience, or promise forever against the surf — just a few steps from the beach — under an elegant marquee that overlooks the bay, where up to 150 guests can dine and 250 celebrate come evening. The hotel’s dedicated wedding team shepherds every detail, from ceremony to confetti and cocktails, leaving you free to sip champagne, stroll the shore and soak in those sweeping sea-views with the ones you love.

Jade and Nedzer: Celtic Manor Resort, Newport September 2025

Wow, wow, wow!!! So thrilled to be part of the spectacular wedding of Jade and Nedzer at the Celtic Manor Hotel in Newport! What a day!! Everything was utterly stunning from the bride to the decoration to the food! Jade entered in the most amazing dress to I See The Light from Tangled in homage to their first introduction at Disneyland! We played At Last and This Will Be during the signing of the register before a rousing rendition of Signed, Sealed, Delivered as the Exit Song. We then relocated to the terrace outside with our battery pack where we played an upbeat set whilst the guests (and us!) enjoyed some Welsh Cakes and ice cream! Then it was time for the lavish dinner where we continued with a Bridgerton set, adding to the very regal atmosphere. This really was a wedding to remember and we wish Jade and Nedzer and all their wonderful family all the very best for the future!

Celtic Manor Resort

Perched in the lush Usk Valley near Newport, Celtic Manor Resort is a grand, multi-venue destination that can suit everything from intimate gatherings to large, extravagant weddings

Luxury in abundance

What sets the Celtic Manor apart is the abundance of choices for couples: you can exchange vows in its elegant Manor House (with rooms like Hedleys for small ceremonies or the Manor Suite for larger ones), or go big in the Resort Hotel’s Caernarfon Ballroom, accommodating hundreds under chandeliers and soaring ceilings.

For receptions and celebrations, there is flexibility across suites (Beaumaris, Rooftop Garden & Terrace, etc.) that allow indoor-outdoor flow and stylish backdrops. The resort also offers a suite of wedding packages (True Indulgence, Heritage Luxury, Moonlit Magic, etc.) that bundle room hire, meals, drinks, lighting, and bespoke finishing touches, giving couples a foundation to build upon. One of their special offers, for example, includes complimentary venue hire, sparkling wine on arrival, 3-course wedding breakfast, wine, prosecco, evening buffet, and accommodation for the couple.

Another strengths is capacity and scalability: Celtic Manor is licensed to host civil ceremonies across multiple spaces throughout the resort, so whether your guest list is modest or ambitious (up to 900 in some settings) you’ll find a fit. The venue also handles the logistical side—from event coordination, in-house caterers, preferred suppliers, and optional enhancements (lighting, décor, entertainment) — allowing couples to focus more on the celebration and less on the details.

Theona and Josh: Llantilio House, Abergavenny August 2025

Another busy wedding weekend for us with the stunning wedding of Theona and Josh at Llantilio House in Abergavenny with beautiful views over the Welsh countryside. We played outside under the pear tree whilst Theona entered looking classy and elegant to A Sky Full of Stars. During the register we had arranged Dive by Ed Sheeran especially for the happy couple which was a real find for us and has quickly become one of our favourites! After the emotional Ceremony we played Die With A Smile for the exit song before relocating to the outside terrace to play a sophisticated Bridgerton set for the Drinks Reception. This was a truly beautiful wedding and send Theona and Josh all our congratulations and best wishes for the rest of their lives together.

Theona and Josh say:

“After meeting Sam and Andy at a wedding fayre we instantly booked them to be a part of our special day! They played before, during and after the ceremony and were utterly fantastic! The talent that they have is phenomenal. Each song was distinctly recognisable and possibly better than the original! All of our guest and photographer commented on how great they were! We are so glad we booked and would recommend to anyone who is getting married! Absolutely amazing!”

Llantilio House, Abergavenny

Llantilio House lives at the intersection of rustic farm heritage and refined luxury. Nestled in 200 acres of Monmouthshire countryside, it’s a Grade II-listed farm that’s been lovingly restored for weddings and celebrations.

Magical rural retreat

The venue is offered on an exclusive hire basis so that couples and guests have full access to all parts of the estate: ceremony barns, party barns, gardens, accommodation, and even a natural, year-round heated pool & spa. In terms of accommodation, Llantilio House includes nine double bedrooms (across the farmhouse, granary, Bull House, Brew House) accommodating about 18-20 guests. They supplement that with glamping options during summer, and sometimes extra cottages nearby.

A couple of charming extra touches: terraces of wildflower plantings lead down toward the River Trothy valley, offering scenic photography vistas. Also, the team emphasises sustainability—Llantilio House has undertaken restoration using eco-conscious methods, with heat pumps, natural water filtration for the pool, and aims toward carbon-negative operation

Lucy and Josh: Temple of Peace, Cardiff August 2025

Last weekend saw us at the beautiful venue of Temple of the Peace in Cardiff for the wedding of Lucy and Josh. There were lots of requests for this wedding which we had great fun putting together from the F1 theme song to music by The Kooks!

Lucy is a big Swiftie and she and her Bridesmaids entered to an accoustic version of Love Story. The exit song was I wanna hold you hand.

The ceremony was followed by a delightful afternoon tea where we entertained with more Taylor Swift and other pop songs played in a classical style, a lovely Bridgerton vibe!

We wish Lucy and Josh all the best for a happy future together!

Maria and Phil: Parkway Hotel, Cwmbran May 2025

Fantastic With Fizz were the daytime wedding musicians for Maria and Phil this weekend at the beautiful Parkway Hotel in Cwmbran.

Maria and Phil are big Star Wars fans and enjoyed an eclectic mix of music including the Star Wars Theme alongside some more traditional favourites such as Starships Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, A Thousand Years and All of Me by John Legend. We particularly loved the Star Wars accessories including the Millennium Falcon board and Grogu on the cake! We then relocated to the outside terrace using our battery power where we played for the drinks reception. Maria and Phil very kindly provided us with a delicious chicken pie and chips during the speeches before we took our places again for the Wedding Breakfast where we were happy to accommodate lots of requests!

We had the best time in Wales and wish Maria and Phil every happiness for the future!

Emi and Matthew: St Mellons, Cardiff May 2025

Fantastic with Fizz had the honour of performing at the Ceremony of Emi and Matthew’s beautiful wedding today in Cardiff at their gorgeous home. We started with a set during the guest arrival and then Matthew walked in to Feeling Good which was very apt! Emi was a stunning bride and walked in with her flower girls to a brilliant arrangement of Pure Imagination which was a perfect choice. We then played a rousing rendition of Canol Lan which was sung in both English and Welsh before they took their first steps as husband and wife to the sounds of Rewrite the Stars. This was truly a magical wedding, we were so lucky to have been part of such a special day! Wishing Emi and Matthew all the best best in their lives together!

Emi and Matthew say:

“Sam & Andy were amazing! They were helpful from the beginning, working out the best songs, sending different tracks to choose from, learning new songs for the wedding! On the day the music was beautiful; whimsical, magical and perfect for the wedding! Sam and Andy were fabulous and are incredibly talented! Could not recommend enough!”
