Wedding Ceremonies
The Panelled art nouveau council chamber and the nearby President's Room with their unrivalled views have been licensed for civil marriages and partnerships and renewal of vow ceremonies.

Option 2 - focuses the ceremony around the main window in the room overlooking the seafront at Aberystwyth with your guests in a semi circle around you.

Alternatively the President's Room is ideal for a more intimate ceremony and can accommodate up to 30 guests.

After your ceremony why not invite your guest to a wedding reception in the Library's central hall and be greeted by your family and friends as you walk down the beautiful red carpet staircase as a newly married couple.

The wonderfully maintained grounds of the Library would provide the ideal backdrop for those everlasting Wedding Day photographs. The Library offers ample free parking and has full access for disabled.
