Venue Settings

Elmore Court is the 750-year-old Grade II* listed home of the Guise family nestled in a beautiful rural village between the Cotswolds and Bristol. This ancient historical home with views of the River Severn has been renovated into a self-sustainable state-of-the-art Wedding Venue including a biomass heating system and naturally built super marquee, the ‘Gillyflower’. It was 1262 when the family Guise was first granted the Elmore Estate by nobleman John de Burgh with the rent being a nominal ‘clove of Gillyflower’ each year. The current Guise’s, Anselm and Sarah, have taken their combined 35 years of experience in the music and events industries and turned Elmore into something that makes the best of their skills and passions whilst maintaining tradition and keeping the incredible history alive. Unlike many grand historical houses, Elmore Court was not built for military, religious or ostentatious purposes. It was built as a functional homestead for family use and the entertaining of guests. Everybody who has come to stay in the house has felt the unique warmth and energy of the building. Many have commented on there being a certain magic about the place when it is being used for bringing people together; although, this allure can be partially attributed to the kind and welcoming natures of Anselm and Sarah.

Venue Features

The scene

Elmore Court is set withing 1000+ acres of farmland, just inside a large meander of the river severn, caught between the Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Bristol and the Cotswolds. The house itself is 450+ years old whereas the family have lived on the estate for 750+ years!

Design

The 400year old stainglass window in the main hall which contains the coat of arms of every family that every married into the Guise family. This is where we host the majority of our civil cermonies and initial drinks receptions. A roaring fireplace can be found in the hall outside the summer months.

Standout venue features

The jewel in Elmore’s swan-topped crown is The Gillyflower. It truly represents everything that this generation of the Guise family is trying to accomplish. These festival-minded souls take the greatest pleasure in seeing you and your guests have the wedding ceremony and party of your dreams. Within the house they celebrate tradition, while in the Gillyflower they embrace innovation and evolution. The Gillyflower boasts a 200-seated dinner capacity and up to 400-dancing to the custom-made Funktion-One AmbiSonic Sound System; designed to have a specific set of features to make it perfect for weddings and events. The circular speaker layout means the sound can be contained within the dance-floor space so those who don’t feel like dancing can still converse with ease and observe the frolics of others in comfort, which is perfect for the older generation who may not like the music or its volume! Meanwhile, those on the dance-floor are treated to a sound quality worthy of any club in the world. The sound can also be calibrated to fill the whole space should you want to crank things up to a proper wall-of-sound party vibe. The building is fully soundproofed so any early sleepers in the house will not be disturbed by the music. A unique fiber-optic lighting system designed and installed by Bruce Munro adorns the Gillyflower. There are huge seated windows with views over woodland and the Cotswolds. The Gillyflower is constructed from local estate farmed timber and rammed-earth walls, which are hidden behind ‘living walls’ consisting of Ivy, Virginia Creepers and other beautiful climbing plants. Hi-speed wi-fi, biomass-powered air conditioning, a premium built-in bar, a catering marquee and an in-house events manager ensure this is the most complete and cutting-edge country-wedding venue available in the UK today.
