Manor House Wedding venues near the Cotswolds

Planning a wedding is a mammoth task. I always say start with your venue. You literally cannot book anything else without it! Whether you want to get married in church, in a barn or a manor house there is a huge amount of choice. Here is a list of some of my favourite Manor House style wedding venues near the Cotswolds.

Elmore Court

So to start off on our manor house wedding venues near the Cotswolds is the absolutely stunning Elmore Court. I have started with this one as it not only stunning but the venue staff are incredible! This gorgeous old court dates back to 1580 and has been lived in by the Guise family and is still their family home!

The Hall in the heart of the main house is the perfect spot to exchange your vows. Next to the main house is the equally gorgeous Gillyflower. This is one of the best reception rooms I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. The only way to truly understand the beauty of this venue is to go and visit yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Tortworth Court

Just off the M4 is the stunning De Vere Tortworth Court. If you are looking for a venue with a unique ceremony and reception space whilst having tonnes of rooms for your guests to stay, then Tortworth Court may be the one for you. The beautiful Orangery is the perfect space to not only have your wedding breakfast but to exchange your vows. The grounds round the hotel are gorgeous and the perfect spot for those all important couples shots.
