Stately Home Wedding Venues in Gloucestershire

We had our wedding at Eastington Park on 05.11.25, and it truly was the most perfect day from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning - elegant yet welcoming - and provided the ideal setting for our celebrations. A special mention has to go to Kathryn, our wedding manager, who was an absolute star. She was so lovely, calm, and attentive throughout the entire process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made sure every detail ran smoothly on the day. Thanks to her, we were able to relax completely and just enjoy every moment. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how seamless everything felt. We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience - Eastington Park will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you to Kathryn and the entire team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

From the moment we set eyes on Elmore Court, we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, with a charm that instantly captivated us. Our journey began with a tour led by the amazing Alice. She instantly connected with us and truly understood our personalities, making us feel so at ease. Her warmth and authenticity made us wish for her as our coordinator. Fate had an interesting plan for us, as we worked with three different coordinators throughout our two-year planning process. First, we met the fantastic Annie, followed by the sensational Kat, whose legendary expertise at Elmore reassured us every step of the way. When Kat moved into a new role, she told us Alice would take over—and it felt like the perfect full-circle moment. Our vision for the wedding was very specific. Coming from military families, we wanted the event to reflect a classic elegance, and Elmore Court naturally lent itself to creating the atmosphere we dreamed of. From start to finish, the team was incredibly kind and accommodating, even as I—an admittedly detail-driven, "A-type" bride—made numerous requests. Despite some initial challenges, the team always came back with thoughtful solutions, especially considering the logistics of hosting 200 guests. A highlight of our weekend was staying in the Coach House from Thursday. Everything was prepared for us, including a lovely note and chocolates from Alice. It was such a personal touch and made the start of the weekend feel even more magical. Breakfast in the Coach House on Friday and Saturday mornings was delightful, as was dining in the main house on other occasions. Friday was a special day as we celebrated both my and my cousin’s birthdays. Dinner in the dining room was set up beautifully, and the Great Hall hosted a lively party afterward. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning staircase, the cozy drawing room, and the overall grandeur of the venue. Saturday was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to Alice and our planner, the day unfolded seamlessly, leaving us free to savor every moment. The confetti line was picture-perfect, and the transition to the Gillyflower left our guests in awe. From the flowers to the décor, everything was stunning. The food was exceptional, and the dance floor reveal was a showstopper. The party was unforgettable. The Gillyflower’s sound system is phenomenal, and the fireworks were the perfect ending to an incredible day. Nearly a month later, people are still talking about it, and we can’t help but feel proud of how perfect it all was. Of course, no event is without its hiccups. The move from the Coach House to the main house on the wedding day felt hectic, and I did lose a few items in the process, which was disappointing. I wish there had been a bit more time or assistance with this transition, but in the grand scheme, it didn’t diminish the joy of the day. Alice, you are a star. Your patience, kindness, and dedication made our experience truly unforgettable. To the entire Elmore Court team: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss you more than words can express. Please don’t forget us—we will never forget you. With love and gratitude, The Powells ❤️

The Slaughters Manor House team were absolutely amazing, and helped us plan and pull off the most perfect day with such flexibility to accommodate our requests and ideas to make it a truly personal day. They were lovely to work with throughout and the whole process felt bespoke to us at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble for the team with the many requests we had along the way. The venue itself is stunning, immaculately presented and felt luxurious and special, whilst still being warm, inviting, cosy and relaxed. Our day ran perfectly, the events team worked closely with our planner behind the scenes to ensure every detail was covered and everything went to plan. We felt absolutely at ease that everything was in hand, and the expertise of the team was clear. The service team on food and drinks were also exceptional. The food is like no wedding meal we've ever had, and the chef was so flexible to tailor the menu to our preferences and every dietary requirement under the sun! The service was outstanding, the food incredible and the knowledge and expertise of Conor was amazing in helping us plan for every eventuality. The bonus of great accommodation for so many guests at the Manor and the Inn across the road was the big selling point for us, it felt like this gorgeous corner of the Cotswolds was ours for the weekend to enjoy with our friends and family. The Slaughters was the perfect venue for our wedding, and we cannot thank everyone involved enough for their hard work, commitment and huge flexibiilty to make such a unique and magical day. We could never have achieved such a bespoke wedding, with every detail considered and the perfect atmosphere at any other venue, we are blown away with everything that was made possible for our big day.

Every detail of our wedding I had pictured was brought to life by the lovely, amazing and attentive staff at this venue. They surpassed all expectations and their attention to detail was incredible. I felt at ease the entire day because I knew everything was in hand. They were attentive to our guests and never left a glass empty, thank you so much for your service and organisation for our special day

We had our wedding at Hilles House on Saturday 11th May and it was more than we ever could have hoped for. I remember my Dad driving me down the long driveway in an old landrover through all of the wild garlic and seeing our guests making their way to the outdoor ceremony overlooking five counties. We had drinks on the terrace in the sunshine, a delicious meal by Cotswold Cooks in the Palace Yurt and watched the incredible sunset before an amazing party. We saw lots of venues and so many felt like a 'package' or 'factory wedding'. Hilles gave us the flexibility to be creative and design the day we wanted. Emma was brilliant and we actually really enjoyed the day before decorating with all of our bridal party. We spent the evening before the wedding in the local village pub The Royal Oak which is lovely. I would really recommend our suppliers as well, our incredible photographer Amy-Rose Photography, Cotswold Cooks and the Enchanted Florist. I wish we could do it again!

I'm going to write these few words from the heart, as we decided to drive 12 hours to a little piece of paradise to get married. We met Tanya and François, a couple as endearing as they were professional, who looked after us as if we were family. The 16 of us were made to feel right at home, with comfortable beds, excellent food, relaxing surroundings and breathtaking views. I would recommend this address in its entirety, with no negative points whatsoever. Francois and Tanya, I can't thank you enough for everything you did for us this weekend, so singular in a lifetime. You are extraordinary, we'll never forget you. Thank you so much!
