Hellens is a beautiful historic manor house and the leading eco-friendly venue in Herefordshire. A totally unique and exclusive venue for a tailor-made wedding in an idyllic setting. It has beautiful gardens, acres of wildflower meadows, ancient woodland, apple orchards, a labyrinth and a dovecote. You can choose between two fabulous venues for civil ceremonies. Our oak-panelled Music Room in the Manor House is licensed for 60 guests, whereas there is plenty of room for up to 120 guests in the Great Barn. With its beams and vaulted ceiling, the Great Barn is just right for you to add your personal touch - so your wedding can be as individual as you are. What's more, our beautifully renovated Georgian Stables is ideal for your overnight stay. A Hellens wedding could include a toast of sparkling perry pressed from our own pears in our traditional stone mill, our own organic apple juice, and produce from our own kitchen garden. For many years we have been helping couples create the perfect bespoke wedding day. Each occasion is unique and created by you with the help, support and advice of our wedding coordinator. We provide the perfect venue and professional planning, all you need to bring is your imagination!
