Wedding photography and film at Cote Brasserie Cardiff Bay

Cote Brasserie Cardiff Bay is a hotel weddings venue in Cardiff Bay, Wales, offering couples a contemporary French brasserie setting with waterfront views over the regenerated docklands.

A contemporary French brasserie on Cardiff Bay's waterfront providing relaxed, well-curated dining and celebration spaces with views over the regenerated docklands — a stylish and accessible choice for smaller, food-focused Cardiff celebrations.

We find that venues with this kind of character, relaxed but genuinely well-curated, with natural light off open water, tend to make for beautifully atmospheric wedding films and photography. The docklands backdrop gives a distinctly modern, cinematic quality that we would love to work with, and the intimate scale makes it a particularly strong choice for couples who want great food and a relaxed celebration at the heart of it all.
