RECOMMENDED WEDDING VENUES
Elmore Court & The Gillyflower, Gloucestershire
As a recommended supplier I love an Elmore enquiry. The team here are impeccable and its has such a party vibe.
Apart from their grade 2 listed mansion with awe inspiring ceremony room they have the insane Gillyflower, built sustainably from estate materials using traditional methods it’s the most incredible function space with huge picture frame windows overlooking the wild meadow.
Owner Anselm is also busy re-wilding the surrounding land, has renovated a the gorgeous greenhouse and is currently finishing treehouses as venue accommodation! Yep, Elmore is a firm favourite!
