Welkinweir Estate

. We schedule an in-person tour and met with the JAM representative. Within the first few minutes my partner and I turned to each other knowing this was it. Welkinweir Estate is not only a beautiful venue but the JAM staff have been nothing short of amazing during this entire experience. HIGHLY recommend!

y are the grounds beautiful but JAM Catering and staff have been incredible. We just had our tasting and it was amazing. I can not wait to get married here!

p to our ceremony will be breathtaking. The estate at Welkinweir is a large, well-preserved stone mansion on a lush, green property with gorgeous flowers all around. The ceremony site is set on old barn ruins, which have left three elevated seating tiers, similar to an amphitheater style. In the spring, summer, and fall (and winter, but they don't hold weddings in the off-season), it's an absolutely gorgeous property. I can't wait for our big day!

ouse has a gorgeous hardwood floor, stone dance floor and the tent itself was brand new and lovely with clear skylight panels and lots of string lights. All the ceremony areas are gorgeous - we picked the barn ruins overlooking the lake and we absolutely loved it. It's so quiet and serene and with all that natural beauty, you don't need a lot of ceremony decor! We received so many complements from our guests about the venue- everyone loved it! My husband and I were so happy with our decision to have our wedding at Welkinweir!

lling hills and the lake in the background. All of our guests kept telling us how stunning it was, and once I saw the pictures I couldn't agree more! A beautiful setting for a beautiful day. I fell in love as soon as I saw the venue in January, but I couldn't have imagined how wonderful it would be even in my wildest dreams. Only potential drawback is they can only fit 150 people. But we were hoping to keep our wedding small so this was actually a positive for us. You will not regret choosing Welkinweir! And it's one of the few places that I found have a really great back up plan if the weather wasn't good!

lievable experience. While it did rain on our wedding day, I truly forgot that our original plan was to be outside. The staff did such a great job making it a seamless transition from the beautiful outdoors, to the antique, beautifully intimate, living room. Everything was just perfect. The tent looked amazing and I cannot say enough good things about the Robert Ryan team. The green valley association was great to work with as well.!

that day except your wedding party and guests), quietude, and completely beautiful outdoor surroundings. Having a wedding there in late May/early June ensured that the entire place would be in bloom and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather to match. It was the first time that most of our vendors (photographer, florist, etc.) had been there and they couldn't stop raving over the location. The photographers kept saying they wish they had come hours earlier to take pictures for themselves! Our guests loved the place just as much as we did and loved checking out the old estate house and beautiful grounds. Our wedding had about 110 total people and that was a very comfortable fit for both the ceremony and reception locations (I think over 140 would start to feel a little small). So if you are looking for a beautiful, unique, stunning place for a smaller outdoor wedding, don't overlook Welkinweir! PLUS your venue fee is actually a donation to the Green Valleys Association - pretty cool!

ld not recommend for more than 150 guests). The wedding coordinators were fabulous--the perfect balance of being detail oriented and laid back. We made use of the entire venue for ceremony, pictures, reception, relaxing, etc. Book early--they don't do weddings year round.
