Venue Intelligence

Elmore, Gloucestershire

A 750-year-old house, and a living-roofed hall.

Elmore Court has belonged to the Guise family since 1262, granted for the yearly rent of a single gillyflower. Today the historic house is paired with the Gillyflower, an eco-built events hall with a living roof, for exclusive-use weddings that are grand and green at once: vows in the great Hall, a party in the hall, estate-grown food, and 16 bedrooms, a Coach House and treehouses to stay.

Vows in the Hall, a Party in the Gillyflower.

Couples exchange their vows in the grand Hall of the historic house, or in the Gillyflower itself, then celebrate across the eco hall and the estate. The house and its gardens are exclusively yours for photographs and quiet moments, the Gillyflower holds the dinner and the dancing, and the whole party stays on site, so a wedding at Elmore unfolds at its own pace across a 750-year-old estate.

Estate-Grown, Cooked In-House.

The kitchen cooks fresh, seasonal, locally sourced dishes, many of the ingredients grown on the estate by its own gardeners, from bespoke wedding breakfasts to relaxed feasts, with a well-stocked cellar and wine at merchant prices. Couples who prefer are free to bring their own caterers.

Since 1262

A house the Guise family has held for 750 years, granted for the yearly rent of a single gillyflower.

The Gillyflower

An eco-built events hall with a living roof, for a vibrant party from around 60 up to 200 or more.

Rewilding

Meadows, woodland and treehouses across an estate being returned to the wild, heated by its own woods.

Estate-Grown

Fresh, seasonal food grown on the estate and cooked in-house, or bring your own caterers.

A Wedding on a Rewilding Estate.

Beyond the house and the Gillyflower, the whole estate is being rewilded: gardens and lawns give way to meadows, woodland and wilder ground, with timber treehouses raised among the trees. It is a place with a conscience, heated by biomass from its own woods, growing much of its own food, so a wedding here is grand and green in equal measure, and the party has an entire estate to wander.

Accommodation

16 Bedrooms, a Coach House and Treehouses.

Location

Elmore, Gloucestershire

Elmore Court sits in the countryside near Gloucester, off the A38 and a short drive from the M5 at junction 12, so it is grand and secluded yet genuinely easy to reach. Bristol Airport is around an hour away, and the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean and the Severn are all close by, so guests reach a peaceful estate with plenty to explore around the wedding.

Pricing and What to Expect

An eco-minded, exclusive-use wedding at a 750-year-old family house.

Elmore Court is a historic country house near Gloucester, granted to the Guise family in 1262 and held by them for 750 years, now given over to weddings and paired with the Gillyflower: a purpose-built, eco-minded events hall with a living roof, named for the estate's ancient rent of a single gillyflower. Couples take the house, the Gillyflower and the whole estate exclusively, marrying in the grand Hall or in the Gillyflower, dining on estate-grown produce, and staying across 16 bedrooms in the main house, a Coach House and woodland treehouses. Exclusive hire starts from £5,000 and varies by day and season; the LWD team makes the introduction.
