Makeover for wedding venue

Tern Hill Hall looks a little different to what it did a few years ago.

Benefitting from a complete refurbishment that mixes contemporary style with the Hall’s beautiful, original features, Tern Hill Hall is something of a hidden gem to many of Shropshire’s prospective bride and grooms.

Tern Hill Hall, which is owned by the Marson family, was originally built in 1911 as the residence of a Colonel Coghill and his wife.

A wedding gift from her family, Tern Hill Hall was built with happiness and romance in mind. Serving many purposes in its lifetime, Tern Hill Hall as evolved from a home to a WWII base, to a hotel and now, in 2017, into a wedding and event venue.

Managing the development and management of the Hall, husband and wife team Laura and Richard Marson, together with Richard’s sister Tracey Marson-Holland, took on the monumental task of refreshing both the look and the perceptions of Tern Hill Hall when the family purchased it in 2011. This latest addition to the family's business portfolio was a challenge that was not for the faint hearted.

“Since we acquired the Hall, we have worked really hard to transform the venue back into a beautiful place for people to host their weddings and special events," says Laura Marson.

"As the building has had such a varied history of uses, the renovation has been tough one. We have certainly had to rely on the vision of what we wanted Tern Hill Hall to look and feel like, as a point of reference when all the building work was going on.

"We also wanted to subtly add modern twists to the design and décor, that would sit alongside the original features of the building, to enable us to offer something very special to our clients. It has been a real labour of love and we believe that we have achieved what we set out to do.”
