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.

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.

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.

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.

Our perfect day

Glewstone is not only set in incredible countryside but is an amazing house which helped to make our day perfect. The service was outstanding from the moment we got there until the moment we left. Nothing was too much trouble, every detail thought of and catered for. The food was stunning from the breakfast through to the evening buffet.
We can’t recommend this venue enough, the team helped to make it a truly magical day.

Book, Book, Book this Venue now!

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.

The best day ever!

We made the best decision having our Wedding Day at Glewstone Court. From the moment we first viewed the venue we fell in love with it. Gary showed us around and took the time to go through everything. Amy was on hand to answer any queries along the way and was a great help leading up to the Wedding with organising the day. On the day all of the staff provided a five star service. Charles was amazing ensuring everything ran smoothly. There were no wedding day stresses as Glewstone had it covered. An extra special shoutout to Sam who we nicknamed ‘Superhero Sam’ as he saved the day on several occasions. It was lovely to see Gary after the ceremony providing his congratulations. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and were absolutely blown away by the incredible food. Our wedding day at Glewstone was full of personal touches. If you want to get married in a beautiful venue with an amazing team looking after you then pick Glewstone. Thank you for the most incredible Wedding Day. Glewstone Court will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The whole process and planning was made very easy by the incredible team… they absolutely thought of everything little detail to make our day truly special.
The day itself was run like clockwork without us even being aware.. the team work so hard in the background but keep you feeling like it’s the perfect day.
Beautiful day at a beautiful place to start our married life.
Thank you

Couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We’re so happy we booked our wedding at Glewstone Court Country House, what a beautiful spot. With only 4 months to plan our wedding we didn’t think we would find such a stunning location. From the start the level of communication was fantastic, we were looked after so well we were over the moon with our choice. Sam who managed the lead up to the wedding and the wedding day was exceptional, he didn’t miss a thing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a high level of service anywhere in my life. My friends and family are still talking about how brilliant the service was and how Sam learnt everyone's name. The food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better day, if only we could do it all over again. A lovely family run business where they went out of their way to make our day so special.

Dream Wedding

Our wedding at this venue was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were enveloped in warmth and beauty, feeling like we had found a true home away from home. The venue itself is breathtaking, with every detail perfectly curated to create a romantic and magical atmosphere. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible staff.

Special thanks to Charles and Sam, who went above and beyond to ensure every moment was flawless. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to detail made both our pre-wedding events and the wedding day itself absolutely perfect. They carried out every responsibility with such grace and care, making us feel like we were in the best hands.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our love, and we will forever be grateful for the memories created here. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning beauty with unparalleled service, this is the place. Our hearts are full, and we can’t recommend this venue enough!

Amazing Day!

We got married here in May 2024, we originally booked our wedding for May 2025, however due to my mother being very unwell we brought our wedding forward. Glewstone Court were accommodating from the very start, especially Gary and Amy when it came to the planning.

For the wedding weekend we had Charles and Sam with us, they were on the ball and ensured everything ran so smoothly.

The food was fantastic and the venue and setting were incredible, we could not recommend this venue enough.

Thank you again for our incredible day, it was so incredibly special to have my mother there too!

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 most incredible day!

We cannot thank Glewstone Court enough for giving us the most beautiful experience for our wedding day. The beauty of the venue, the wonderful staff and the warm feeling we had as soon as we visited Glewstone is what drew us to it immediately!
Right from the start of the wedding day we were met with such care and attention to detail. Even though it was raining, the whole team did everything they could to make sure that everyone was happy and settled and I really didn’t think twice about the weather! The interior of the venue was so elegant, with the fires lit and the gorgeous, tall windows making us feel like the outside was part of the inside. It was truly beautiful!
The bridal party were greeted by Sam, who immediately helped me in with my umbrella! We cannot thank Sam enough for the incredible care and support he provided to the whole wedding party from start to finish. He was so helpful, attentive and made us feel so welcome. Everyone commented on how wonderful the whole team were during the day, they really went above and beyond!
All guests have commented on how amazing the day was. The food was absolutely delicious and the rooms were incredible.
We all had such an amazing day filled with smiles, fun and laughter. It is a day we will cherish forever and we cannot thank Glewstone Court enough for that!
Diolch!

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.

Co-owner

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.

As Events Director and Wedding Planner at Glewstone Court, I’m here to make sure every wedding and event is flawlessly planned and beautifully executed. From the moment a couple books with us, I guide them through the planning process, helping to bring their vision to life while ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

I love the details - whether it’s perfecting the timeline, coordinating with suppliers, or making sure every personal touch is just right. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so couples can truly enjoy their wedding journey, knowing they’re in safe hands.

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.
