(1)

In the heart of Cardiff’s Civic Centre, the Temple of Peace is an ideal location for conferences, wedding receptions, meetings, exhibitions, filimings, parties, mendhis, lectures, training and workshops, and other events and celebrations. The Temple of Peace and Health is a Grade II listed building in the heart of Cardiff, surrounded by beautiful architecture and attractive city parks and gardens.

A historic and internationally renowned building, the Temple of Peace has hosted United Nations and peace events for many years, one of the highlights being a visit by Desmond Tutu. It has also attracted use for film and TV locations such as for His Dark Materials and was used by the BBC to film episodes of Doctor Who, Sherlock and Casualty. Grass areas are available around the building where marquees can be erected, plus there is disability and wheelchair access. This venue's stunning architecture is unforgettable and accentuated by its fantastic location in Cardiff's Civic Centre. The Temple of Peace is easily accessible from the city centre, close to local transport links, accommodation options and Cardiff Registry Office. We have the Marble Hall for hire, which seats up to 200 theatre or 160 cabaret, as well as the smaller committee room and Council Chamber.

WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF 2024 WEDDINGS 🥰🥰🥰

Helen and Steve had a wonderful low-key, intimate ceremony at the Temple of Peace in Cardiff on Saturday. This was followed by a quick journey in the Rolls Royce to have a few photos around the grounds of Roath Park, even getting stopped by a stranger for some photographs together! The most loveliest of couples, this could not have been a better start to 2024... just another 32 weddings (at the moment) to go this year! 😊🥰🥰

thank you for having me along to document these moments. 🥰🥰🥰

If you want to understand what your other half thinks of you, ask them what song reminds them of you. Blake immediately answered Alkaline by Sleep Token. Safe to say, I was flattered. I suggest you listen, it’s a love letter and now every time I hear it, I smile like crazy 🖤

For any brides who are looking for a potential wedding dress like mine, IrregularBridals on Etsy were the wonderful creators, who specialise in unique, non traditional gowns. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough, the dress was altered to the colour and fit exactly to my requirements and it took around 6 weeks to arrive. I was blown away.
Another thank you to for capturing me at my most magical 🖤
