Description

Wide open Cotswolds countryside as far as the eye can see (all the way to the Black Mountains of Wales on a clear day) gives the feeling of being happily lost in a far-flung corner of England, when in fact you are just 5 miles from the city of Gloucester with easy links to London. Our diary is now open for 2025 weddings! Our fun and fabulous team will look after your every whim. Each wedding and event is treated entirely individually, and hire of the house is always on an exclusive use basis... In fact you might start to feel so at home you won't ever want to leave- we've heard this many times! We like to say yes to any request, we're flexible and offer a different approach to planning... If you want a full on festival of entertainment, to bring your own alcohol, light candles and fires, party until after midnight, stay all weekend... That's all A-OK with us. We don't ask you use certain suppliers or force you to use our own kitchens... However, you will probably choose to have our team of 5-star-rated in-house chefs prepare you the most delicious banquet of your lives, as once you've tasted our wild, sustainable, homegrown and locally sourced wedding menu, you likely won't want to eat anything else ever again!! The only thing we do ask is that you look after the environment as we do. We are dedicated to protecting our natural world and have a long list of sustainable practices including; *Rewilding 250 acres of the estate (with plans to increase this) *Heating the house with carbon neutral heating by biomass *Energy comes from renewable sources *Toiletries are natural British botanical brand 100 Acres *We use refillable glass never plastic bottles *We have ditched all chemical cleaning products in favour of Teresano water system *We are working on offsetting the carbon of all who travel to and from Elmore Court and aim to be entirely carbon neutral by 2025... This list is always growing.

The Best Weekend of Our Lives – Becoming the Powells

From the moment we set eyes on Elmore Court, we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, with a charm that instantly captivated us. Our journey began with a tour led by the amazing Alice. She instantly connected with us and truly understood our personalities, making us feel so at ease. Her warmth and authenticity made us wish for her as our coordinator. Fate had an interesting plan for us, as we worked with three different coordinators throughout our two-year planning process. First, we met the fantastic Annie, followed by the sensational Kat, whose legendary expertise at Elmore reassured us every step of the way. When Kat moved into a new role, she told us Alice would take over—and it felt like the perfect full-circle moment. Our vision for the wedding was very specific. Coming from military families, we wanted the event to reflect a classic elegance, and Elmore Court naturally lent itself to creating the atmosphere we dreamed of. From start to finish, the team was incredibly kind and accommodating, even as I—an admittedly detail-driven, "A-type" bride—made numerous requests. Despite some initial challenges, the team always came back with thoughtful solutions, especially considering the logistics of hosting 200 guests. A highlight of our weekend was staying in the Coach House from Thursday. Everything was prepared for us, including a lovely note and chocolates from Alice. It was such a personal touch and made the start of the weekend feel even more magical. Breakfast in the Coach House on Friday and Saturday mornings was delightful, as was dining in the main house on other occasions. Friday was a special day as we celebrated both my and my cousin’s birthdays. Dinner in the dining room was set up beautifully, and the Great Hall hosted a lively party afterward. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning staircase, the cozy drawing room, and the overall grandeur of the venue. Saturday was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to Alice and our planner, the day unfolded seamlessly, leaving us free to savor every moment. The confetti line was picture-perfect, and the transition to the Gillyflower left our guests in awe. From the flowers to the décor, everything was stunning. The food was exceptional, and the dance floor reveal was a showstopper. The party was unforgettable. The Gillyflower’s sound system is phenomenal, and the fireworks were the perfect ending to an incredible day. Nearly a month later, people are still talking about it, and we can’t help but feel proud of how perfect it all was. Of course, no event is without its hiccups. The move from the Coach House to the main house on the wedding day felt hectic, and I did lose a few items in the process, which was disappointing. I wish there had been a bit more time or assistance with this transition, but in the grand scheme, it didn’t diminish the joy of the day. Alice, you are a star. Your patience, kindness, and dedication made our experience truly unforgettable. To the entire Elmore Court team: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss you more than words can express. Please don’t forget us—we will never forget you. With love and gratitude, The Powells ❤️

The best two days ever!

From the moment we pulled through those big gates and up the drive, we knew Elmore was the one. We booked it there and then for two years later and made the best decision possible! We went with a long Thursday, so had access to the house from the night before the wedding - another amazing decision! We chose to have a big BBQ and invite all of our day guests so they could get to know eachother before the big day. We had amazing food (still need that beef brisket recipe!), had lawn games, and Elmore even helped us host a screening of the euro-semi finals. The wedding day itself couldn't have been more perfect. Our wedding coordinator was Jasmine and she couldn't have done more for us, from answering our countless emails to running with 20 seconds to spare to help me stick a photograph back on my bouquet right before I walked down the aisle. She was incredible. The day itself was also amazing - the hall looked amazing for our ceremony, and people commented on how it was the nicest wedding venue they'd ever been to. It really is a mix of all tastes - old meets new here so you have a bit of everything. The food was also amazing. I am gluten free and the venue managed to make all the canapes gluten free for me in case I wanted to help myself to more. Multiple people noted about how great the food was as well. Overall we just had the best day ever, we wish we could do it all again - nothing went with a hitch and we will be talking about it for years to come!! Thanks so much to Team E for making all of our dreams come true.

Our magical wedding at Elmore Court...

We had the most magical wedding day at Elmore Court on Saturday 2nd December 2023 - a day we will never forget! Elmore Court was the first wedding venue we visited while scouting venues in the South West two years ago. We instantly fell in love with the venue and felt we wouldn’t find anywhere better. So, we cancelled our other viewings and booked our date with Elmore! The entire process from that point on was a breeze, thanks to the fabulous 'Team E'. Everyone we interacted with - from Sue in Accounts to our brilliant coordinators, Rachael and Alice - went above and beyond, both in the lead-up to the day and on the day itself, ensuring we were well looked after throughout. We visited Elmore again before the big day (once for the menu tasting and twice more for their open days). This allowed us plenty of time to explore the venue and plan every detail of our wedding. In the final weeks leading up to the wedding (when all the planning can start to feel overwhelming!), Rachael & Alice were a massive godsend, ensuring everything was fully taken care of and putting us at ease. The wedding itself went off without a hitch. The venue looked absolutely beautiful, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Team E and our florist, who created a magical setting (made even more enchanting by the winter fog surrounding the venue). The staff were faultless throughout, with everyone we encountered - from the bar and kitchen staff to the waiting team - being friendly and professional. The biggest appeal of Elmore for us was that everything could happen under one roof. The ceremony took place inside the beautiful Hall, the reception was held in the Gillyflower (a stunning purpose-built party room that was the major selling point for us, with its soundproofed dance floor, stage, sound system, and lighting), and the venue offering 16 beautiful bedrooms for our guests to stay. We knew we could fully relax as soon as we arrived on-site, and we truly felt like we were inside our very own bubble where we could celebrate with all our guests. The food was the best wedding food we have ever tasted. We thoroughly enjoyed the menu selection/tasting experience, and the presentation was perfect. Everyone loved it! We received countless positive comments from our guests, who all agreed that Elmore is one of the best wedding venues they had ever been to. We are still receiving rave reviews now, six months later! Elmore now holds a very special place in our hearts, and we will certainly return in the future to stay in one of their fabulous treehouses! Thank you, Elmore Court and Team E, for all your hard work in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would not hesitate to recommend this venue to couples looking for an out-of-this-world wedding, which is guaranteed at the magical Elmore Court!

The perfect wedding venue

We got married at Elmore Court this June and we cannot recommend it enough. From the moment we first saw the house driving through the stunning gates, we knew it was special and that we couldn't see ourselves getting married anywhere else. My husband and I are both lovers of history and we wanted a venue with character and charm and Elmore had that in spades and was known as the party house for a reason! We booked it for a Saturday and Sunday as we had family and friends travelling from all across the UK as well as from further afield and we wanted to spend as much time as we could at Elmore. From beginning to end everyone we've dealt with at Elmore has been endlessly professional but made us feel like old friends in every interaction. We had Alice as our co-ordinator and she was absolutely brilliant! She was so calm and helpful and ensured the day went smoothly. The attention to detail is second to none at Elmore, the whole time there felt like you were at home not a venue. The house speaks for itself with how stunning it is and we loved that when we were shown around they were able to tell us stories about certain rooms and of the house which made it so much more personable. The Gillyflower which is their purpose-built function area at the back of the house doesn't steal the spotlight from the house and blends in beautifully with the surroundings but is a showstopper in its own right. They really thought of everything when building it. From being eco-conscious and using materials from the estate to build it down to the sound system there isn't a detail missed. The food at Elmore was STUNNING. So many guests told us how much they had enjoyed the food and that it was the best wedding meal they'd had. They were accommodating to all the dietary requirements and allergies of our guests. The breakfasts in the morning were also incredibly delicious. On the Sunday we invited guests back and we had a day in the garden playing rounders and other games. We also had an inflatable assault course put up in the field at the back by the Gillyflower which was great and adults and kids alike had so much fun! For the evening meal, we had platters of cheese and charcuterie in the walled garden which was amazing. It was so pretty and peaceful listening to the gentle breeze through the trees and the chatter of everyone there it was idyllic. When the sun started to set we went inside and sat in the drawing room and stayed up until the early hours playing some intense games of Mafia. It was so cosy and inviting and the perfect place to gather at the end of the day. As I said at the start, I can't recommend Elmore enough. The house is magical and the people who work there make it even more so. Thank you all so much for everything!

Best day of our lives

Words can not describe how this venue made our days so magical. The compliments we had from our guests after our wedding confirmed the feelings we had on our perfect day. The service was impeccable, kind and caring staff, who throughout looked after myself, my husband and most of all our guest. Great value for money, such a wonderful family feeling you get from the staff and the way they looked after us all was amazing from start to finish. A massive thank you to Elmore for helping us celebrate our marriage in style. Most of all thank you Alex, you are the best wedding planner that we could have asked for. Much love Lee and Rebecca
