Recommended Wedding Venues
We've performed at many beautiful venues in the area. Here are some of our favourites:
Elmore Court
A truly special venue - this 750-year-old manor house combines historic charm with a modern, relaxed approach. The Gillyflower is a purpose-built space with incredible acoustics designed with live music in mind. The team here genuinely understand entertainment and make setup effortless.
Hatherley Manor Hotel
A 17th-century manor house with beautiful grounds. The Dorian Suite offers excellent space for a full band with good ceiling height and a proper dance floor. The staff are experienced with weddings and very accommodating with supplier requirements.
Blackfriars Priory
One of the most atmospheric wedding venues in the country - a beautifully restored 13th-century Dominican priory. The acoustics in the historic spaces are remarkable. Requires some care with equipment positioning, but the result is unforgettable.
Stonehouse Court Hotel
An elegant Grade II listed manor with well-proportioned function rooms. The main suite handles a full band comfortably, and there's level access for equipment. The gardens provide a lovely backdrop for drinks receptions while we set up.
Clearwell Castle
A Gothic Revival castle on the edge of the Forest of Dean. The ballroom is genuinely impressive - high ceilings, dramatic architecture, and acoustics that suit live music beautifully. The castle setting creates an unforgettable atmosphere for evening entertainment.
The Speech House Hotel
Set in the heart of the Forest of Dean, this historic verderers' court offers a unique woodland setting. The Ballroom has character and warmth, and works well for bands. A wonderful choice for couples wanting something away from the typical country house circuit.
