A beautiful venue for a wedding reception in the heart of Cardiff. Looking at the building from the outside it is clearly an old Chapel but it doesn’t do any justice until you step foot inside and see the majestic beauty of the grand interior. We had booked Chapel 1877 quite some time ago for a wedding dinner and reception, our expectations weren’t just met…they were blown out of the water - Gareth, Richard and their team showcased such a high standard of hospitality, it was unbelievable! Gareth the General Manager and Richard the Restaurant Manager were such a breath of fresh air – they were taking control of the event and managing their teams brilliantly. They were both able to interpret our plans perfectly for a sit down dinner in the day and a party in the night.
During the day we had a sit-down three course wedding dinner for 20 guests and everyone commented how amazing the food tasted (compliments to the chefs!), how good the table service was (thank you waiters/waitresses) and how the ambience of the room created a special setting for a great occasion.
The wedding party was held in the Vault room and everyone had the same comment – “Wow!” - what a great hidden room for a party! We had a fantastic live band – Perfect Day Party Band – who only took up a small corner of the room so there was plenty of space for dancing, sitting, eating and drinking. The décor was spot on (the fairy lights above the dance floor were a nice touch!) as we were able to have all our wedding bits from the meal come down to the evening reception – candles, flowers, canvases and a 6 foot balloon palm tree – Gareth and Richard happily set everything up for the day and evening without bothering us which was just great as we were so busy socialising and having a great time – there was literally nothing for us to stress or worry over as the guys took care of everything. We can’t comment enough to show our appreciation for all the staff working on Friday 3rd June so we’ll just say a huge THANK YOU here! Special thanks to Gareth, Richard and Jack for the superb hospitality, service and smiles, you made our day more memorable and we’ll always cherish the great time we had, not just us but also our family and friends. Everyone go the Chapel 1877 to get married!
Great thanks,
Stacey & Jem
