A Spring Wedding at Glewstone Court, Ross-on-Wye
Michael and Lucy share an incredible bond - the kind that’s been strengthened through life’s toughest moments. After Michael suffered a serious motorbike accident, Lucy was by his side every step of the way, nursing him back to health. Their wedding at Glewstone Court wasn’t just a celebration of love, but of resilience, gratitude, and the connection they’ve built together.
Set in the Ross-on-Wye countryside, Glewstone Court was the perfect backdrop for their intimate day. The Georgian manor’s warmth and elegance created a space that felt personal and full of heart - the ideal setting for a couple whose story is so deeply rooted in love and strength.
The day unfolded with a calm and genuine energy from the very beginning. The morning preparations were peaceful and full of anticipation, with laughter and quiet moments shared between family and friends. Their ceremony was deeply personal - heartfelt vows that reflected their journey and the love that brought them to this point. Throughout the day, the connection between both families was unmistakable; it felt less like two sides coming together and more like one big family celebrating something truly meaningful. The dance floor never slowed thanks to The Cube Tuesdays, and the atmosphere carried that perfect mix of emotion, energy, and pure joy that defines a wedding like Michael and Lucy’s.
Couples q&a
Let’s start with your story - how did you two meet?
We met at work, Mike was my manager! I found him quite uptight and serious but he used to tell me these awful jokes and I would pretend to laugh haha - It wasn’t until we went out for a works do and he asked me to dance, I actually saw a fun side of him!
Tell us a bit about you both - what do you do, what are you into, and what’s life like together?
We’ve bonded over our love of rock music and go to as many gigs as possible! We used to go camping but mike couldn’t cope with not having a private bathroom.. to attend to his beard of course. We cook all the time which quickly becomes competitive and we’re always trying different cuisines.

How did the proposal happen?
Mike took me to the Limewood hotel not far from where we live in the New Forest for a two day spa break over my birthday. After dinner, we went back to the room to find a huge bouquet of red and white roses, romantic music playing on the radio and my engagement ring in a box. It was a huge surprise, I can’t remember exactly what he said, something poetic and romantic I imagine and through tears of laughter & happiness, I said yes.
What made you choose your wedding venue, and what stood out to you about it?
We wanted to find a venue that would feel like a little holiday for everyone and that was easily accessible for everyone as most of my family live in North Wales. We also wanted somewhere where we would have exclusive use and ideally over a couple of days. Two days after getting engaged we went to Hereford and booked Glewstone Court. I knew it was perfect after meeting the owner Gary, who made us feel super comfortable and assured us that our wedding day would be everything we wanted it to be, they didn’t disappoint! We decided to have it on the 8th May as it was our 8 year anniversary.
What kind of experience did you want to create for your guests?
We wanted the day to be mostly relaxed - it’s not often we see all of our family as we are spread around the country so the most important thing was having everyone come together.
What are some of your favourite memories from the day itself?
Getting ready in the morning for me (Lucy) - it was very relaxed and I woke up super early to have a really long bath. I knew the day was going to fly by so it was nice to take some time to myself in the morning to soak it all in. Getting ready with my mum & girlfriends and of course, seeing Mike at the end of the aisle! Mike says seeing me in my dress and the food & finally relaxing after his speech haha!

What was it like seeing your wedding film for the first time?
Aahhhh this was the best ever. I said to Mike the one thing I will NOT compromise on his having a videographer. To be honest, I don’t think he understood what to expect in terms of the finished video - he was really shocked to see how beautifully edited it was! & so was my mum to be honest, she couldn't get over the editing and the music and how beautifully it all came together. We watched it three times in a row and have watched it so many times since. We were really emotional watching it back and we couldn’t stop laughing at all the moments you captured that we missed - like my dad taking a huge sigh after finishing his speech!
Any advice you’d give to other couples currently planning their wedding?
Book Morgan as your videographer - he will create a beautiful video capturing all elements of your day.
Don’t stress about things going wrong - or the weather! If something isn’t exactly how you wanted it to be on the day, you’ll be so wrapped up in the day itself and all of the emotions that come with it, that it won’t really matter. Our photo booth guys brought the wrong backdrop, green foliage instead of white roses, but after about 30 seconds I was over it!
Enjoy the planning. It can feel overwhelming but enjoy the buildup as it will soon be over. I love Christmas and the buildup was like Christmas day but x 10 haha!
Kind Words from LUCY AND MICHAEL at gLEWSTONE COURT
"We recently had Morgan as our wedding videographer for our wedding at Glewstone Court.. From the moment we previewed his beautiful work, right through to our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Morgan is such a lovely, genuine person who instantly made my husband and I feel completely at ease. He blended in seamlessly with our guests and the flow of the day, nothing felt forced or dictated, just completely relaxed and natural, allowing us to enjoy the day! We would absolutely recommend Morgan to anyone getting married in the future! Thank you so much again!"
