Why Elmore Court Is The Perfect Winter Wedding Venue

Winter Mornings at The Court

Imagine this: you wake up on your wedding morning to the sweet song of robins, finches and song thrushes, with a delicate frost blanketing the outside world. As the sun rises, a delicious aroma wafts from The Court kitchens, signaling that breakfast is on its way to The Coach House. Hair and makeup teams are en route, fires crackle to life in The Court, and the excitement in the air is palpable. If that doesn’t evoke cozy feelings, we’re not sure what will! Winter weddings have that extra spark of magic about them. You might want to take an invigorating run down the country roads or wrap up and go for a wander down the track at the back of The Coach House. Taking a moment to think about the day ahead. It is such a thrilling and important part of the day, filled with champagne, surrounded by loved ones, and brimming with joy. The Court is the ideal backdrop for these morning celebrations, its warmth embracing every room while wintery views captivate from each window. For an extra touch of coziness, consider getting ready in The Master Suite.

The Magic of the Main Hall

Intimate Drinks Reception

It might be a tad too brisk for outdoor drinks and canapés, but nothing compares to an intimate drinks reception inside The Court—for a winter wedding it's just a charming! After the confetti has settled, it’s time for lively conversation and a drink or two in the snug Drawing Room. With the fire crackling and champagne flowing, it’s the ideal spot to unwind before the evening’s celebrations kick off.

If you're looking for a cozier corner for heartfelt chats or the sweet sounds of a String Quartet, The Morning Room is just the ticket. When it’s time to dance, head to The Main Hall, where there’s plenty of space for a lively gathering with a bar and canapés. The atmosphere will be filled with laughter from your closest friends and family, glasses will clink, and every room will be brimming with warmth and love.

Picture Perfect Shots

The Court isn’t just a place; it’s a canvas for creativity! With its stunning historic red walls inside The House, winding paths that invite exploration, and vibrant Lawns and Gardens that transform with every season.

Christmas Celebrations

Yes... We know it's still August but it's never a bad time to start thinking about that time of year (in our eyes anyway) 

When December is upon us, The Court turns into a Winter Wonderland. Christmas trees are assembled. stuffed with lights and decor, wreaths are hung and the fireplaces are lit. It's a magnificent sight and one we look forward to each year.

Our famous tree is the perfect backdrop in the main hall, lighting up pictures and adding that extra oomph of magic. We've seen some pretty extraordinary Christmas weddings, from Reindeer guests to snowball fights... it's the time of year for love, so why not have a festive do? 

Cosy & Warm

We're sure you've gathered this by now, but Elmore truly is a romantic, cosy & warm venue for your Winter celebration.

She's rich with heritage and character has seen many Winters over the years and has been the family spot for Christmas get-togethers. The interiors of The Court are designed to feel inviting and comfortable, with crackling fireplaces, soft lighting, and plush furnishings that enhance that cosy atmosphere. 

The surrounding frosty grounds and picturesque countryside add to the winter wonderland feel. We're known for it here and we pride ourselves in how gorgeous the Court looks in all seasons but we love her just that little bit extra during the Winter.
