Glewstone Court Country House

A wedding at Glewstone isn’t just beautiful, it feels different, like you’ve been let in on a very good secret.

Maybe it’s the old cedar tree that’s watched over hundreds of vows. Or the way guests seem to settle in and exhale, drink in hand, as the sun dips behind the Wye Valley. It could be the laughter around the the building and manicured grounds heard late into the night, or the moment a father-of-the-bride, glassy-eyed and half-lost in memory, says “You’ve thought of everything.”

We’re known for that! For making it yours. For noticing the quiet stuff. For guiding without taking over.

A Little Bit About Us

We’re a family-run, independent venue in Ross-on-Wye, set within a Grade II listed Georgian country house manor, surrounded by countryside and overlooking the Brecon Beacons. Over the years, we’ve hosted hundreds of weddings, but no two have ever felt the same, and that’s something we value.

Glewstone Court recently won Best Historic Wedding Venue in the West Midlands (2025) at The Wedding Industry Awards, and we’ve held the AA’s highest accolade for quality and service for eight years in a row. But to be honest? The real reward is seeing our couples still dropping in months later, glowing with memories of their special day flooding back.

What It’s Like To Work With Us

From the moment you step through the front door, it’s about you. We’ll sit down with you, get to know your story, your vision and your non-negotiables!

We’ll walk you through the house whilst showing you how the day might unfold, how the courtyard might feel at golden hour, how we can give you a breather between ceremony and speeches or how to make sure you get a moment just the two of you.

Our team, including your dedicated wedding coordinator Charles, is calm, kind, and ruthlessly prepared. We’re creative problem-solvers, early risers, and yes, we’ve always got a safety pin.

What’s Included

  • Exclusive use of the house and grounds for either 24 hours or 48 hours (or longer if needed)

  • Ceremony and dining for 80 guests (up to 150 with marquee hire)

  • Evening celebrations for up to 130

  • Courtyard cocktail & gin bar in our Mediterranean courtyard

  • The main bar inside the house, fully stocked and ready with all of your favorite drinks
  • In-house catering to suit all formal or informal vibes (with incredible food, just saying)

  • 10 elegant ensuite bedrooms including a groudfloor bedroom and our gerogeous Honeymoon Suite

  • A calm, dedicated coordinator to guide you on the day

  • A dedicated wedding planner to guide you through the planning process
  • Optional multi-day hire for extra time together

  • And much, much more!

Multi-Day Hire: Extend the celebrations!

Some couples book an extra day. Not because it’s needed, but because it’s magic. A welcome supper the night before, last-minute table plan tweaks, breakfast in robes the next morning. Guests bond. Nerves melt. It becomes less of a blur and more of a story you’ll tell forever.

We’ll never push or rush or standardise - that’s just not us. Glewstone is a place to be yourself, surrounded by the people you love, held by a team that quietly has your back.

Let’s plan something unforgettable!

The Dream Venue!

Glewstone Court has been incredible from the moment we viewed it to the end. As soon as we walked through the doors we knew it was where we wanted to hold our wedding, it was the perfect place. The venue is warm, welcoming and homely, they really care about each wedding they hold at Glewstone. We visited multiple other venues that felt like we were just another number and were shown around on the mornings of peoples weddings, but not at Glewstone. The team are amazing, they made us and all our guests feel incredibly special. We’ve had so many compliments from guests regarding the food, service, how friendly everyone was and how nothing was ever too much, people have said how it’s one of the best venues they’ve been too.

I genuinely believe the reason we were so calm in the run up to the day was because the team handled everything for us from suppliers, setting up, organising the day and they even packed everything away the following day which was so unexpected. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the entire weekend we knew we were in great hands.

We had our pre-wedding meal at Glewstone Court the evening before we got married which was amazing, it was so nice to have the option of having some of our closest family and friends spend the evening with us and the food was perfect. I’d definitely recommend the 48 hour hire of the venue, it made the weekend so special and felt like a mini holiday surrounded by the orchard and beautiful grounds.

I think I could list a million reasons as to why couples should choose Glewstone Court to get married at. It really is the most special place and I couldn’t recommend it enough if I tried!

Flawless wedding experience ✨️

From the moment we walked into Glewstone a year ago to view the venue and met Sam we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Fast forward to this year and we hired Glewstone from the 10th to 12th of April for our Wedding. It was simply perfect 👌 every single guest wasknown by name and had a perfect time. Charles the wedding co-ordinator was pure perfection and made everything flow. He got our music requests spot on and made every little detail magical. If you pick Glewstone you are in great hands. They are friendly, kind and the food is out of this world. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic, highly recommend!

We were looking for a romantic venue to hold an outdoor ceremony + reception for about 50-60 guests. The venue is stunning inside and out, you really need to consider Glewstone Court if you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue! Joel was lovely and so very helpful answering all our questions and giving us a virtual tour as we are located outside the country. They also have great meal options, too! We highly recommend getting in touch with them, you won't regret it!

The BEST Wedding Venue

From the moment we arrived on Wednesday, Charles was absolutely incredible—so helpful, attentive, and such a lovely, genuine person to be around. He truly is amazing at what he does, and we’re so grateful for the care and effort he put into every detail. Everything ran so smoothly, and all of our guests had the most wonderful time. Our pre wedding evening meal on Wednesday was perfect—the table was set up beautifully, and the food was just incredible. My brother is still talking about the braised beef cheeks! I also wanted to mention the lovely lady who was working behind the bar that evening—unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name, but she was so friendly and welcoming. The wedding day itself was everything we had dreamed of and more. Sam was fantastic from start to finish. I’m still genuinely baffled by his ability to remember everyone’s names! So many of our guests mentioned how personal and special that made everything feel. The food throughout the entire day was absolutely delicious and was the talking point of the whole wedding! A huge thank you also to the housekeeping staff who tidied our rooms and moved Mike’s bags .. and even miraculously found my earring that I assumed had gone forever! Thank you, Amy, for all of your help with the planning, everything felt so easy and stress - free. We are also super grateful for all of the amendments you made for us. Please could you also pass on a huge thank you to Gary. From our very first meeting at the venue, he was so friendly and welcoming, and he genuinely played a big part in our decision to choose Glewstone Court. If you are seeking a venue that genuinely cares about your wedding and the entire experience, your guests & every single detail, Glewstone Court is THAT venue. Thank you again, a million times over!

Best day of our lives

Myself and my husband recently got married at Glewstone Court. What can we say other than wow. We had the most amazing and unforgettable day ever. Absolutely everything was perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning inside and out. A lot of the rooms have had renovations and the courtyard has also been updated, which has made Glewstone even more stunning. The staff are incredible at what they do and are so attentive and genuinely lovely people. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they really went out of there way to make sure everything was perfect. The food was so delicious and well presented and the drink options were great to. We can't fault anything.
A special shout out to Amy for the organisation of the wedding. Sam and Charles for seamlessly running the day and genuinely making us and all our guests feel so welcome and the Carla for being so attentive and organised with the room allocations.

Thank you for making our day everything that we ever dreamed of. We would recommend Glewstone to absolutely anyone.

14.06.2025 - The Best Day

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Glewstone, last week. Throughout our planning journey, the team were all so helpful with guidance and ensuring our visions would come to life, always being attentive and available to assist with any questions we had.
When it came to the run up and day of the wedding, the team were all great at coordinating with other suppliers, to ensure smooth delivery & set up.
We were eager for an outdoor ceremony and Glewstone were so flexible with this, allowing us to leave until a few hours before to make a final decision.
The team were amazing at ensuring every part of the day ran smoothly. Sam especially met our needs to help ourselves, both parties and all guests at ease, whilst transitioning to different parts of the day, at the same time making sure everyone had fun!
We couldn’t have asked for a prettier venue and even better team to help us coordinate the day.
One of our guests even asked if Sam was employed as a coordinator or part of the venue team, as he was the best coordinator they had met!
We both had the best day imaginable and couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!

I just want to thank Glewstone Court for everything they have done for us, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We had the most amazing wedding day / night and it was made even more special by all the staff, every single one of them are honestly incredible and really looked after us. A special thank you to Charles, Sam and Amy for everything too. Words cannot express how grateful we are, so happy we decided to get married here. Glewstone Court has a special place in our hearts.

Even better than you hoped

Beautiful venue with wonderful views. Lovely courtyard with a bar for the evening. Staff who will help with anything and everything. We had lots of disasters in the week before the event and nothing was too much trouble for their team. Even me breaking my leg did not phase them. The chef is a magician and turns meat and vegetables into food fit for a Michelin starred restaurant. The bridal suite is enormous and the balcony made for some lovely preparation shots waving to family members with champagne in hand. The canapés were a huge hit, arancini mushrooms and Welsh rarebit. Roast beef and summer berries pictured below. We would recommend this venue to anyone. The staff are all wonderful, no grumpy ones here.

Our special day!

We had the most incredible experience at this wedding venue! From the very beginning, Amy was fantastic—her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring throughout the whole planning process. On our big day, Charles and Sam truly went above and beyond. They were constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect and helped the day run so smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and every single member of staff was so friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend!

Nothing Short Of Perfection!

Where do we start..

From our initial visit to view the venue for our special day right up to the day itself, Gary and his team were nothing short of exceptional. Any questions we had were promptly answered and nothing was too much trouble even when we had a few last minute changes to make.
On the day, Charles and Sam were very attentive, always checking in on all of us to make sure we had everything we needed. The day couldn't have ran any smoother, we were always kept in the loop with what was happening next and that we were happy with all the finer details. We had so many complements on how fantastic the food and the venue itself was and we couldn't agree more.

We really could go on and on about how fantastic every single part of our day was. We cannot recommend Glewstone Court enough and ourselves and our families will definitely be returning for the events that they hold so that we can reminisce on the best day of our lives.

The best choice we made!

We are so glad we chose Glewstone Court as our wedding venue. This family run business really knows how to deliver service to perfection! We visited Glewstone court for a viewing and also attended one of their dining club evenings. Every person we dealt with was friendly and professional and we immediately felt at ease. Our wedding day felt so relaxing! Everything just seamlessly happened around us, not once did we have to think about anything. Vendors were shown to their positions, family were treated like family not just guests and the food was gorgeous! Another benefit of this venue is how beautiful the historic building is, it saved us a fortunate as we didn’t even have to decorate! We would have no reservations about recommending Glewstone Court. Big thank you to every single person who helped make it an unforgettable day.

Simple the perfect day.

It’s hard to put in to words just how amazing the staff are at Glewstone court, they were honestly brilliant. We felt so cared for in such a genuine way, nothing was too much trouble. Every single one of our guests commented on not only how stunning the venue was but how incredible the staff were too. Massive shout out to Charles & Sam who helped our day run so smoothly, they were both so lovely towards us and honestly made us feel that our wedding day was special to them. We will be recommending Glewstone forever not only for the beauty of the venue but also the quality of the staff alongside it. Thank you so much to every single staff member for helping make our day as magical as it was, we will definitely be back!

Glewstone is a gorgeous venue in the stunning Herefordshire countryside

We can’t recommend Glewstone Court enough as a wedding venue. Our experience from booking, right through to the wedding in October 2024 was everything we could have wished for and more!

The team at Glewstone are professional and so passionate about the fantastic service they provide as a venue. We hired the venue for 48 hours back in October and were so well looked after by all of the team which felt very personal. Our day ran so smoothly thanks to the planning process with Amy; then Sam and the team worked so hard on our wedding day with such attention to detail.

Glewstone is a gorgeous and classic venue in the most beautiful setting with such a special atmosphere. Our guests felt so welcomed and enjoyed the special touches like the courtyard bar serving cocktails. The food was also gorgeous and beautifully presented which we also had many compliments on.

Thank you to the Glewstone Court team for making our wedding so special and a day we will always look back on so fondly.

If you are considering Glewstone as a wedding venue, firstly great choice, secondly no need to bother with other venues as Glewstone is as good as it gets.

My husband and I had our wedding at Glewstone on 7th October 2024. Our wedding day was perfect, and it was all thanks to Sam, Charles, Amy, Gary and the rest of the team at Glewstone. Glewstone offered an amazing service throughout, working with us on a bespoke menu which the chef and kitchen crew executed impeccably, we had endless comments from our guests about how amazing the food was, I myself enjoyed the food so much that it felt a shame that I couldn't finish my meal, we will definitely be back for their diners club. The evening food was heavenly (photo included) and guests were raving about it the next day. Gary and Amy worked endlessly in the background to ensure the planning of our day was smooth sailing, with Sam, Charles and the rest of the team handling the day itself. We had many comments about how Sam and Charles greeted guests on a first name basis and remembered their names throughout the day. Sam ordered drinks into the bar especially for the occasion. At the end of the day when my dad and sister's taxi still had not turned up, Charles even offered them a lift back to their hotel (luckily their taxi turned up in the end, as Charles deserved a well earned rest at the end of the day). We had many comments about how nice the bedrooms were, how good a nights sleep everyone had and the quality of the breakfast the next morning. The added bonus was when we walked into the Gainsborough suite and realised that the bathroom had been renovated.

The venue itself and grounds were perfect for photo opportunities and our photographer managed to take amazing photos of us in the orchards and in front of the house itself.

Having been to many weddings, we can confidently say the complete service from Glewstone was a masterclass in how to deliver an unforgettable wedding day.

My husband and I cannot recommend Glewstone highly enough, they offered everything from early check ins for guests to bespoke food and drink and everything in between.

In 2014, my wife Karen and I took on Glewstone Court, turning it into the much-loved wedding and events venue it is today. With a passion for hospitality and a deep appreciation for the house’s history, we’ve worked hard to create a space that feels both welcoming and special.

Over the years, we’ve completely refurbished the venue, earned industry awards including 'Best Historical Wedding Venue in the West Midlands', and achieved recognition for our food and service – including 2 AA Rosettes and the prestigious AA Red Star. In 2023, we took the next step, making Glewstone Court an exclusive-use wedding and events venue, ensuring every couple and guest has a truly personal experience.

For us, it’s more than just a business – it’s a home away from home, and we love sharing the beauty of Glewstone Court with others as they celebrate life’s most important moments.

As co-owner of Glewstone Court, I’ve been part of its journey since 2014, when my husband Gary and I took on this beautiful country house. While I work more behind the scenes, I’m incredibly proud of what my family have built - a family-run venue where couples can celebrate life’s most important moments.

Over the years, we’ve carefully restored and refined the house, ensuring it maintains its charm while offering the highest standards of hospitality. Seeing Glewstone Court grow into an award-winning wedding and events venue has been incredibly rewarding, and I love knowing that so many couples have made lifelong memories here.

Though you might not see me front and center, I’m always invested in making sure Glewstone Court remains a warm, welcoming, and truly special place.

Seeing everything come together on the big day is the best part of my job. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching couples celebrate with their loved ones, knowing we’ve helped create memories that will last a lifetime.
