Plan around the light, under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
Sunset times in North Wales shape the whole evening of a vow renewal. Get the time right and you stand together in that warm, golden glow, with the sky doing the decorating.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. Here is how the light changes through the summer.
Sunset Through the Summer
These are approximate times for Llandudno, in British Summer Time:
Early May: about 8:45pm.
Early June: about 9:30pm.
Midsummer, around 21 June: about 9:45pm.
Early July: about 9:45pm.
Early August: about 9:10pm.
Late August: about 8:05pm.
Times Differ Along the Coast
The further west you go, the later the sun sets, so the Llŷn and Anglesey keep the light a few minutes longer than Llandudno. For an exact time on your date, the Met Office forecast for Llandudno shows sunset for the days ahead.
When the Ceremony Starts
We plan backwards from sunset, so your vows land as the sky turns gold. The afterglow can last a while after the sun has gone, which is lovely for a slow walk back along the shore.
Why Summer
Twilight Ceremonies runs exclusively in the summer months, when the evenings are long and sunset arrives at a relaxed hour. Summer 2027 bookings are now open.
Two Ways to Celebrate
Renewal of Vows is £250.00 and keeps things simple, with your ceremony officiated on a summer evening. The Sunset Experience is £2,500.00, with a beach picnic, photography and video, Polaroids on the evening and transport there and home. Both are on the offerings page.
Anywhere You Choose
North Wales is home, but you can choose anywhere: elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
Once you know the light, the rest of the evening falls into place. Tell me which summer date you have in mind and we will plan it around the sunset.
Choose your evening, and let the sun set the time.
