TALL JOHN’S WEDDINGS, LD3 7PX 01239 821 143 | www.talljohns.wedding The manor house at Tall John’s Weddings is situated within acres of exquisite grounds with mature trees and breathtaking views across the valley. The working walled garden is the ideal place to take photographs with a rose bower, a double swing hanging from a beech tree and a silver birch bower. There is also a restored Welsh barn available for weddings which looks across the Black Mountains with an enchanting courtyard and a wooden gazebo that can be decorated with flowers and covered in Perspex if the weather is unkind. Inside are electric points, underfloor heating, insulation, hard floors and a catering area. Included in the venue hire is two nights in the Honeysuckle Cottage, which sleeps eight people on a self-catering basis, and the couple will be able to spend the wedding night in The Coachmans. The house is also available for up to 23 guests on a staffed basis, with breakfast included. Celebrate in style Intimate services of 20 nearest and dearest can be held in the Drawing Room of the manor house, or the split-level Granary, with its canopied beams and light stone floor, can accommodate 80-110. Large celebrations are held in the barn, which is licensed for up to 160 guests. The fabulous wooden gazebo in the garden means couples can also enjoy an open-air ceremony on the natural grassed stage. We love... The venue is exclusive use meaning couples will have the site to themselves on their special day.
