Stately Home Wedding Venues in Gloucestershire

We had the most incredible day! We can I recommend this venue enough! Our wedding co-ordinator was Kathryn, she was incredible! Listening to everything we wanted and ensuring our day ran so smoothly! Thank you so much!

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.

From the moment we viewed Elmore Court, we knew it was the venue for us. Kat was warm and welcoming during the viewing, and the house itself is stunning. We loved the amount of space available and the fact the venue is exclusive-use. Being able to stay onsite, including the night before, made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. I wish I could stay in the coachhouse again!!! We secured our date quickly and communication from the team in the lead-up to the wedding was consistent and helpful. Our coordinator, Sophie, was excellent throughout the process, always responsive and supportive with planning and suggestions. On the wedding eve, Sophie talked us through the plan for the day and how the team would help move everything over to the main house, which really helped the morning run smoothly. Breakfast in the Coach House was a great touch and helped remove stress from the morning. The food was outstanding, with many guests commenting on the quality and the great portion size. The cocktail hour worked perfectly, and moving it outside created a great atmosphere and we were able to enjoy the lovely weather a little while longer. When there was a small delay (our fault - we were chatting too much!!!) with the first dance and cake cutting, the team got us back on track and kept the evening running smoothly. The only disappointment was during the drinks reception. We had ordered 40 jugs of Pimms but were initially only given 4, which quickly became noticeable and disrupted the reception. This resulted in us being pulled away from guests and needing to check my emails on my wedding day, this could have been handled more discreetly given deposits and a tab were already in place - it could have been resolved the following day or they could have spoken with us when we were sat down waiting for food. We shared this feedback with the team and hope this has since been addressed. Overall, it was a beautiful day and an incredible venue that exceeded expectations. Both us and our guests were blown away by the setting and experience! Can't wait to hopefully visit again one 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!
