Embracing the Micro Wedding Trend
While we’re renowned for hosting grand, picturesque weddings against stunning Welsh backdrops, we’re now embracing the growing demand for micro weddings. ‘The Quickie’ offers an effortless and affordable option for those seeking an intimate experience without compromising on luxury.
Celebrity Inspiration
Inspired by recent celebrity weddings, such as those of Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden, and Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, ‘The Quickie’ provides a stylish alternative to the traditional big white wedding. It’s also been influenced by the likes of Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s viral nuptials in 2023.
Exclusive Launch at Fairyhill
‘The Quickie’ has launched exclusively at our highly coveted Fairyhill destination in the heart of Gower. The venue’s Fairyhill Lounge has undergone a £40,000 transformation, led by our celebrated interior designer, Elizabeth Styles. This makeover has reimagined the iconic Georgian drawing room into an elegant private dining space for up to 40 guests, perfect for intimate celebrations.
Culinary Delights
Our micro wedding package features the best in Welsh food and drink, expertly crafted by Executive Head Chef Chris Keenan. Couples can choose between a 6-8-course tasting menu or a contemporary small plates and feasting-style menu. All this is complemented by exclusive use of the Grade 2 listed iconic Georgian house, luxurious accommodation, and picturesque grounds that provide stunning Welsh scenery for post-ceremony photography.
Flexibility and Luxury
While ‘The Quickie’ is ideal for those tying the knot at a registry office or abroad, couples can also opt to host their ceremony at Fairyhill, with both indoor and outdoor options available. The special day can culminate with an after-dinner private ‘house party’ in the stylish Georgian house or, if desired, a larger scale celebration in the iconic K Room.
Market Trends and Our Vision
“The market trends are forever evolving, and we’ve received a growing number of enquiries from couples looking for effortless, sophisticated, and more intimate experiences,” notes Shakira Obaid, Commercial Director at Oldwalls Collection. “We pride ourselves on designing our venues to embody the big white wedding concept, which will always be at the heart of what we do, but we’re equally excited to be setting the standard in Wales and embracing the new micro wedding trend for 2025. The Quickie is all about delivering a high-quality, effortless celebration that saves on time, cost, and potential family politics without compromising on luxury.”

‘The Quickie’ is now available on select dates throughout 2025. Couples can get in touch via the Oldwalls Collection website. Fairyhill hosts bi-monthly showcase event, to book please click the link below.
