TALL JOHN’S WEDDINGS, LD3 7PX 01239 821 143 | www.talljohnshouse.com Situated within acres of exquisite grounds with mature trees and breathtaking views across the valley, Tall John’s Weddings is a charming wedding venue in Brecon. The gardens at Tall John’s House are the brainchild of Willow Cracroft, who transformed it from an overgrown and neglected space into an amazing garden with features such as a rill, rose arbour, silver birch circle and a splendid display of flowers, shrubs, fruits and vegetables. There is a restored Welsh barn available for weddings which looks across the Black Mountains with an enchanting courtyard and a wooden gazebo that can be decorated with flowers and covered in Perspex if the weather is unkind. Inside are electric points, underfloor heating, insulation, hard floors and a catering area. Celebrate in style The split level Granary, with its canopied beams and light-stone floor, can accommodate 80 guests downstairs, but there is space in the gallery above for extra friends and family. Large celebrations are held in the barn, which is licensed for 160 loved ones. Those wanting to enjoy the great outdoors can tie the knot anywhere in the gardens or underneath the wooden gazebo.
