ELMORE COURT, GLOUCESTERSHIRE This exclusive-use wedding venue offers couples a Grade II listed country house, the Gillyflower events ballroom and a private rural location. Recent developments have seen a newly trained team, which has grown in size, and the walled garden that forms part of the estate having been restored to its original use as a working-produce garden with dishes on the menu using ingredients sourced from it. Longhorn cattle have been successfully introduced and are happily settled, and plans for tree houses to be built on the grounds mean that woodland weddings, treehouse stays and rewilding retreats will be available in early 2023. Ceremonies take place in a variety of areas in the main house including in the hall. Dinner and dancing are enjoyed in The Gillyflower, a romantic space that’s draped in fairylights and home to a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.
