    The Best Weekend of Our Lives – Becoming the Powells

    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 most perfect day!!

    We can't thank Elmore Court enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From our first visit to the venue, we were blown away by the stunning views, rich history, and timeless elegance of the estate. The attention to detail and professionalism of the entire team, from the early planning stages through to the big day, was exceptional.

    Special thanks to Kat and Lily, our amazing coordinators, who took away so much of the stress of wedding planning. Kat created a detailed timeline early on, easing my stress as we had many elements to incorporate for our Indian-Chinese fusion wedding. Lily was incredible at our final meeting and on the day itself, ensuring that every vision I had was flawlessly executed. The food was also outstanding and beautifully presented.

    The day ran seamlessly, and all our guests commented on how perfect everything was. If you're looking for a wedding venue that delivers on every level, we highly recommend Elmore Court!

    The most wonderful venue

    Elmore Court was the venue of our dreams. We saw it on a rainy, overcast day and fell in love with it then, so we knew that this was the place for us. Elmore is elegant, environmentally minded, with a brilliant attention to detail. The process felt easy and smooth right from booking to the day itself. I just wish we could relive our day all over again!

    The best in the business


    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! From the moment we started planning, we knew we were in the best hands. The Court itself is simply stunning, with amazing interiors that create a warm and elegant atmosphere. The gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces provided the perfect backdrop for our reception, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings no matter the weather (we did have a quick rain shower!)
    One of the standout features of this venue is its flexibility. They truly go above and beyond to accommodate every request, making sure that our day was exactly how we envisioned it. The food was another highlight – not only was it delicious, but the portions were generous, ensuring all our guests were well-fed and happy.
    A special shoutout to Alice, our coordinator, who was nothing short of epic. Her dedication and attention to detail in the run-up to the wedding and throughout the day itself were incredible. She made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
    If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines beauty, flexibility, and outstanding service, look no further. Elmore Court is truly the best in the business!

    The ultimate venue in more ways that one!

    I cannot explain how amazing our experience has been beginning to end with Elmore Court and Team E! From the open day back in 2022 all the way through to the morning after our magical day. It really was a superb experience. The attention to detail, the organisation- no ask is too large! Our coordinator Alice was/is the GOAT, for all those brides who worry about the details that you will not be able to control on the big day- do not fear…Alice is here! We really could not have done it without her and we will forever be grateful. In fact the whole of Team E made our whole day! It is such a wonderful thing seeing how much the staff enjoy their roles in your day. Every interaction was phenomenal- from the kind gardener/maintenance man who managed to get me inside the evening before just in time to grab my champagne I’d forgotten to get- to the wonderful lady who specifically looked after us (the bride and groom) during our wedding breakfast. Your efforts were all noticed and we are so grateful to each and every one of you! If you are considering booking Elmore Court- you will not regret your decision. You really do get what you pay for- the venue, the amenities, the food, the views and the staff, all are unmatched!
    Thank you so much for making our day the most magical day we could have dreamed of.
    Mr & Mrs Morris, est. 27th June 2024.

Thank you to all the Elmore team, especially our coordinator Lily, for all their help along the way and on the day, it went so smoothly! Also a special shout out to the kitchen staff, they made a bespoke menu for us and the food was fabulous, we've had so many compliments. Would highly recommend, it's a magical place!

    The perfect two days and wedding at Elmore

    From the moment we pulled through those big gates and up the drive, we knew Elmore was the one. We booked it there and then for two years later and made the best decision possible! We went with a long Thursday, so had access to the house from the night before the wedding - another amazing decision! We chose to have a big BBQ and invite all of our day guests so they could get to know eachother before the big day. We had amazing food (still need that beef brisket recipe!), had lawn games, and Elmore even helped us host a screening of the euro-semi finals. The wedding day itself couldn't have been more perfect. Our wedding coordinator was Jasmine and she couldn't have done more for us, from answering our countless emails to running with 20 seconds to spare to help me stick a photograph back on my bouquet right before I walked down the aisle. She was incredible. The day itself was also amazing - the hall looked amazing for our ceremony, and people commented on how it was the nicest wedding venue they'd ever been to. It really is a mix of all tastes - old meets new here so you have a bit of everything. The food was also amazing. I am gluten free and the venue managed to make all the canapes gluten free for me in case I wanted to help myself to more. Multiple people noted about how great the food was as well. Overall we just had the best day ever, we wish we could do it all again - nothing went with a hitch and we will be talking about it for years to come!! Thanks so much to Team E for making all of our dreams come true.

    Our magical wedding at Elmore Court...

    We had the most magical wedding day at Elmore Court on Saturday 2nd December 2023 - a day we will never forget!

    Elmore Court was the first wedding venue we visited while scouting venues in the South West two years ago. We instantly fell in love with the venue and felt we wouldn’t find anywhere better. So, we cancelled our other viewings and booked our date with Elmore!

    The entire process from that point on was a breeze, thanks to the fabulous 'Team E'. Everyone we interacted with - from Sue in Accounts to our brilliant coordinators, Rachael and Alice - went above and beyond, both in the lead-up to the day and on the day itself, ensuring we were well looked after throughout.

    We visited Elmore again before the big day (once for the menu tasting and twice more for their open days). This allowed us plenty of time to explore the venue and plan every detail of our wedding.

    In the final weeks leading up to the wedding (when all the planning can start to feel overwhelming!), Rachael & Alice were a massive godsend, ensuring everything was fully taken care of and putting us at ease.

    The wedding itself went off without a hitch. The venue looked absolutely beautiful, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Team E and our florist, who created a magical setting (made even more enchanting by the winter fog surrounding the venue). The staff were faultless throughout, with everyone we encountered - from the bar and kitchen staff to the waiting team - being friendly and professional.

    The biggest appeal of Elmore for us was that everything could happen under one roof. The ceremony took place inside the beautiful Hall, the reception was held in the Gillyflower (a stunning purpose-built party room that was the major selling point for us, with its soundproofed dance floor, stage, sound system, and lighting), and the venue offering 16 beautiful bedrooms for our guests to stay. We knew we could fully relax as soon as we arrived on-site, and we truly felt like we were inside our very own bubble where we could celebrate with all our guests.

    The food was the best wedding food we have ever tasted. We thoroughly enjoyed the menu selection/tasting experience, and the presentation was perfect. Everyone loved it!

    We received countless positive comments from our guests, who all agreed that Elmore is one of the best wedding venues they had ever been to. We are still receiving rave reviews now, six months later!

    Elmore now holds a very special place in our hearts, and we will certainly return in the future to stay in one of their fabulous treehouses!

    Thank you, Elmore Court and Team E, for all your hard work in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would not hesitate to recommend this venue to couples looking for an out-of-this-world wedding, which is guaranteed at the magical Elmore Court!
