The Glewstone Court manor house with ceremony chairs set on the south lawn beneath the cedar

01 The Country House

A Venue
Like No Other.

Sash windows, marble fireplaces and a mahogany staircase that creaks where it should. We've lived here, restored here, raised our children here and shared it with couples since 1990. What you get is a Grade II-listed Georgian manor that still feels like the family home it is.

Outside, the formal lawns drop to an apple orchard and a walled courtyard, which is beautifully framed by the Wye Valley on the horizon. The cedar on the south lawn was planted around 1520, making it one of the oldest in Europe!

More about the house

02 The Day, In Five Rooms

A wedding at Glewstone Court
finds its own rhythm.

01 The Welcome

The entrance hall and mahogany staircase

Step onto Victorian mosaic.

Guests step through the front door onto the original 1880s tiling, beneath a grand staircase that awaits your special arrival.

02 The Vows

The ceremony room dressed with a floral arch and candlelight

Choose between three windows, or the cedar.

Marry inside, beneath a coffered ceiling and arched garden views, or outdoors on the cedar lawn if you would prefer. We're licensed for both, plus there are a few country churches a mile or two away.

03 The Feast

Round reception tables set across the connected dining rooms at Glewstone Court

Three rooms to celebrate.

A long banquet for eighty, intimate rounds for sixty. No matter your style, vision or guest list, the three reception rooms flow perfectly into one another.

04 The Evening

A couple dancing in the lit bandstand at night

The bar opens. The fires light.

Up to 130 join you for the evening. The Courtyard Bar opens, and the fires are lit. There's no curfew here, so you have the house until breakfast.

03 Beneath the Cedar

Five hundred years
and it still stands tall.

Stand on the south lawn and you can't miss it: one of the oldest Cedar of Lebanon trees in Europe. Planted in 1520, it's impossible to miss, and never fails to impress. Most of our couples who marry outside say their vows in its shade.
