King Arthur Hotel Wedding Venue
A characterful country inn in Reynoldston, with landscaped gardens, an outdoor flower-meadow ceremony space and the oak-beamed Avalon function room at the heart of the celebration.
A relaxed Gower wedding venue with plenty of character
Located beneath Cefn Bryn in the village of Reynoldston, the King Arthur Hotel combines the atmosphere of a traditional Gower inn with a dedicated wedding venue, landscaped grounds and on-site accommodation.
Weddings are centred around Avalon, an oak-beamed function room with arched windows, its own bar and direct access to the courtyard and gardens. Between April and September, couples can also plan an outdoor ceremony in the flower meadow, weather permitting.
This independent guide covers the ceremony options, wedding breakfast, evening reception, accommodation and practical details couples should consider when arranging their King Arthur Hotel wedding DJ and entertainment.
A village inn and dedicated wedding venue
The King Arthur Hotel has over 150 years of history as a Gower inn, while Avalon has hosted weddings since 2003. This gives the venue a different feel from a modern purpose-built hotel: the traditional pub, accommodation, gardens and wedding room form one connected setting.
The venue’s position in central Gower makes it convenient for nearby beaches and countryside, while keeping the full ceremony, meal and evening reception in one location.
Couples can use the courtyard and gardens for drinks and photographs while the Avalon room is prepared for the next part of the day.
Your wedding ceremony at the King Arthur Hotel
The venue offers two principal ceremony options: an outdoor ceremony in the flower meadow during the warmer months, or an indoor ceremony in Avalon.
The hotel states that meadow ceremonies are available from 1 April to 30 September. If the weather is unsuitable, Avalon is prepared as the indoor alternative.
The flower-meadow ceremony
Tucked within the hotel grounds, the flower meadow provides a more informal outdoor ceremony setting surrounded by greenery and open countryside.
An oak pavilion creates a visual focal point for the ceremony. As outdoor plans remain dependent on the weather, couples should confirm when the final indoor-or-outdoor decision is made and how the venue communicates any change to suppliers.
Couples choosing all-day wedding entertainment can arrange professionally managed entrance, register-signing and exit music, subject to power and positioning arrangements agreed with the venue.
- Outdoor ceremonies from April to September
- Oak ceremony pavilion
- Natural countryside setting
- Avalon available as the indoor alternative
- Suitable for personalised ceremony music
- Weather-dependent final arrangements
An indoor ceremony in Avalon
Avalon is an approved civil-ceremony venue and can host ceremonies for up to 140 guests. The ceremony takes place at the far end of the room, with the arched windows overlooking the landscaped gardens and patio.
After the ceremony, guests can move into the courtyard for drinks while the room is reset for the wedding breakfast.
Couples must arrange the legal ceremony separately with Swansea registrars after making a provisional venue booking. The venue’s ceremony page provides the current process and registrar contact information.
The wedding breakfast in Avalon
Avalon’s exposed timber beams, wooden floor, arched windows and warm lighting create a relaxed, rustic setting for the wedding breakfast. The venue states that it can seat up to 140 guests for the meal.
Wedding menus can be shaped around the couple, with the hotel highlighting Welsh and locally sourced ingredients. Exact menus, dietary arrangements and service timings should be agreed with the wedding team.
The room has its own bar, helping Avalon operate as a self-contained space once the wedding party moves into the main reception.
From wedding breakfast to evening celebration
After the meal and speeches, Avalon transitions into the evening reception. The timing of the room reset, evening-guest arrival, first dance and food service should be coordinated so that the party begins without unnecessary gaps.
The venue currently states that the Avalon bar and music conclude at 12:30am. Confirm the finish time and all entertainment conditions for your specific date.
Evening entertainment in Avalon
Avalon has a clear dance-floor area, a substantial bar and warm architectural features that work well once the evening lighting takes over from the daytime setting.
The King Arthur Hotel’s current wedding information refers to a resident DJ. Couples wishing to use an external wedding DJ should therefore confirm the venue’s current supplier policy before making a booking.
Where an external supplier is permitted, Gower DJ can provide professional sound, dance-floor lighting and music tailored to the couple and their guests.
A wedding photobooth can add a separate attraction away from the main dance floor, subject to the position and space agreed with the venue.
Wedding photography around the venue
The hotel’s landscaped gardens, lily pond, courtyard, meadow and surrounding countryside provide a range of photography locations without requiring a long journey.
The venue also highlights nearby Gower locations including Cefn Bryn, Rhossili and Three Cliffs Bay. Travelling away from the hotel can produce dramatic photographs, but couples should account for travel time and the effect on the reception schedule.
A short portrait session around the grounds may be preferable when the timetable is tight, with a longer coastal session planned only when sufficient time has been allowed.
Accommodation at the King Arthur Hotel
The hotel advertises eighteen en-suite bedrooms, including an accessible room. Rooms include the facilities expected for an overnight hotel stay and are located within the main hotel and associated buildings.
Four self-catering cottage apartments are also available next to the hotel. These can suit families or groups who need more space or wish to extend their stay in Gower.
Wedding allocations, minimum stays, prices and availability should be confirmed directly with the hotel, particularly for popular summer weekends.

Wedding packages, supplier arrangements and access rules may change. Confirm the details applying to your specific wedding before committing to external suppliers or publishing your final timetable.
