Dylan Thomas Boathouse hosts its first wedding

The romantic former home of one of Wales’s most celebrated poets has celebrated a remarkable milestone by hosting its first wedding on 21 June 2025. In a picturesque ceremony held on the terrace with panoramic views of the serene Taf estuary, Megan and Tom became the inaugural couple to exchange their vows at the Dylan Thomas Boathouse in Laugharne. Following the ceremony, the couple had the honour of signing the wedding register in Dylan Thomas’s renowned Writing Shed, where some of his most notable works were penned.

CofGâr, Carmarthenshire County Council museums and arts service, is collaborating with the Carmarthenshire Registrars to offer bespoke wedding and celebrant service packages. The service provided by CofGâr and the Carmarthenshire Registrars blends expertise, care, and experience to offer a range of exciting celebratory packages.
The Dylan Thomas Boathouse joins the Museum of Land Speed and Parc Howard Museum as unique locations for weddings and celebrant services.

Cllr. Hazel Evans, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Leisure, Culture and Tourism, said:

“We’re very thankful to Megan and Tom for choosing the Dylan Thomas Boathouse for their special day. We couldn’t have asked for a happier or more generous couple to inaugurate the museum as a wedding venue.
The museum makes a perfect venue for intimate weddings and celebrations and offers a unique blend of warmth and historic charm in a stunning location.

We’re looking forward to continuing our partnership with the Registrars service to deliver many more special occasions at CofGâr museums in the future.”
