The Drawing Room, The Morning Room and The Porch (the front steps of the house useable for an outdoor ceremony) make up the other three licensed ceremony areas.

For accommodation, there are 9 rooms all with their own unique character. These include the oak-panelled Master Suite with a Caesar size bed; en-suite facilities and a double bedroom attached which can also be used as a bridal dressing room.

Elmore Court is one heck of a wedding venue and certainly deserves ‘Best Newcomer’ status.
