BIRTSMORTON COURT, WR13 6JS 01684 833 888 | www.birtsmortoncourt.com Birtsmorton Court is a picturesque wedding venue in Worcestershire. This 12th-century Medieval moated manor house is rich in history and surrounded by idyllic gardens and grounds. The charming and romantic White Garden provides you and your guests with an intimate sheltered space for ceremonies and receptions. The enchanting formal gardens, top lawn and lower lawn offer many gorgeous spots for your important wedding photography all year round, and the impressive house is surrounded by an extensive moat that boasts a terrace which overlooks the water. Celebrate in style If you have always hoped for a church service, you’ll love the parish church situated within the estate boasting historic beauty and the best location for that all-important confetti throw. Alternatively, the Medieval Great Hall is perfect for a civil ceremony along with several outdoor locations, all seating from 40 to 180 loved ones. The dining space, The Linney, and magically-lit barn can host your afternoon and evening festivities, meaning you can dance the night away in style. We love... Spend your first night as newlyweds in Malvern Chase, a luxurious shepherd’s hut with private decking, a hot tub, and spectacular views across the rolling Malvern Hills. Choose this option, or pick The Georgian Wing – a sumptuous suite in the main moated manor with a four-poster bed presenting views of the moat and formal gardens. The team at Birtsmorton Court have rooms for up to 48 of your guests the night of the wedding across the four self-catered cottages and two additional shepherds’ huts with hot tubs. You can get ready in the Hideaway Cottage in front of the Hollywood-style mirrors and in the Grooms Lounge, which has a mini bar. Birtsmorton Court has every aspect covered so you can enjoy your wedding day in style and comfort. NEW HALL HOTEL & SPA, B76 1QX 01213 782 442 | www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/newhall A fine example of late Medieval architecture, New Hall Hotel & Spa in Sutton Coldfield began life as a manor house, built by the Earl of Warwick as a hunting lodge in the 13th century, but today it stands proudly as one of England’s oldest listed moated houses. At 800 years old, this luxurious property is regarded as one of Birmingham’s finest hotels, boasting 60 elegant bedrooms and 26 acres of luscious pastures. Celebrate in style When your guests enter The Great Chamber, they will be blown away by the craftsmanship that gives this room such character. The oak-panelled walls, intricately painted ceiling, and pretty leaded windows showcase every bit of this venue’s period history, with space for 75 guests. Hold an outdoor ceremony in the elegant walled Rose Garden. This beautiful green space can accommodate up to 200 loved ones for a blessing or non-religious ceremony and 75 for a civil ceremony. The Sir Alfred Owen room is perfect for a more intimate ceremony, with only your nearest and dearest as witnesses. Lovely large windows fill the room with plenty of natural light, and soft chandelier lighting gives a touch of grandeur. We love... The spa offers an oasis of relaxing treatments, while The Bridge Restaurant has two AA Rosettes and a reputation for satisfying tastes. www.katiehamiltonphotography.com www.robtarren.co.uk 24
