From the

Editor

Welcome to our Cornwall Living Guide to Weddings We offer a ‘little bit’ of advice on planning your wedding in our opening feature – it really is worth spending a bit of time thinking about what sort of wedding you want – it may well save you time and money later!

But whatever kind of day you want, Cornwall provides the perfect backdrop, and as some of our photographs show, regardless of the weather! We visit some fabulous venues to cover just about every taste: the grandeur and wonderful landscape of Caerhays Castle, the eclectic and colourful Lower Barns, the stunning views from An Mor, or for something nautical, with yet more stunning views, how about the National Maritime Museum Cornwall? All of whom offer personalised packages for every type of wedding. But what to do if you have found the perfect beach or remote venue which isn’t registered for weddings? We talk to Unique Celebrations, a team of independent celebrants, who can provide you with your wedding just about anywhere.

It’s well worth spending some time sitting on a beach together or walking along the coast just thinking, and talking, about exactly what sort of wedding you both want; what sort of feel you want it to have, the memories you want to create and write it down as a short brief. Then as you start to run away with ideas you can keep coming back to that initial statement that you both came up with when you started planning your wedding, and see if it works with your brief.

For example, you might decide: “We want an informal, simple wedding that costs no more than £XX, where everyone feels welcome and comfortable – with lots of laughter and great music.” Maybe you would like a small wedding with no more than very close family – parents and siblings plus 5 or 10 of your closest friends to help you celebrate in an informal, intimate wedding with some great food that will create lots of memories for you all. Or perhaps you want the full traditional white wedding, with a church service and a bit of pomp and ceremony with everyone getting the chance to dress up to the nines with a great party in the evening!

You get the drift. It’s a bit like a mission statement for a business. Then, as one of you gets carried away with the venue, flowers and guest list, you can keep coming back to your original statement and see if it fits! If desperation steps in, you can, if you

é ABOVE both agree, always alter the statement. And Whatever the always agree on your budget! weather, Cornwall Whether it’s a beautiful marquee on a has the perfect clifftop, a posh hotel or castle, or a rustic backdrop... just remember your barn complete with hay bales and fiddle wellies! player, try to make it uniquely you. It is a great opportunity to go really all out. To make your ‘mood board’ for your wedding, start to collect evocative images that have the right feel, note the colours that are used – cool and beachy or vibrant and tropical.

Do the same with dresses, styling, hairdos, flowers, decorations; anything you can think of. It will really help you get the complete look of your wedding and be a great tool to use when consulting people involved in your wedding from venue owners to hairdressers and stylists.

Lots of unusual places are now licensed to hold weddings or – if not licenced for the actual service – might be the perfect venue for your reception, and again Cornwall has lots, from quirky to imposing! There are outside caterers or in-house chefs to create just about any sort of food you want, from street food vans to full on banquets and sumptuous canapés.

In Cornwall we have just about the best of everything you could need to make the perfect wedding. The problem is the sheer amount of choice. So while you still have words by: plenty of time, get out and about and have some fun!

A

s you breeze towards the south coast of Cornwall, the roads give way to country lanes that are edged with bluebells and foxgloves in the spring. Before the land comes to a full stop at the sandy beaches, spectacular coastline and pretty fishing villages, you will find Lower Barns.

Prepare to fall under the spell of this special place instantly. Blending a riot of colour and a heady air of romance, you’ll find a cluster of stylish retreats scattered across a glorious garden; the lush lawn is sprinkled with colourful flowerbeds and quirky signage, lanterns and wooden flowers, and the trees blossom with candlyfloss pink and cream flowers in the spring. There’s also a sunbaked deck for laidback moments the sun, and a sheltered hot tub – just the spot for champagne and honeymoons.

Hugged by private courtyards, the luxurious Hiding Places – Nook and Cranny – pop with colour and character. Blending eye-catching design with luxe, cosy comforts, such as a dive-into-me bed, woodburner and retro Smeg fridge, these gorgeous spots beg you to relax, unwind and indulge. The Hideaway offers colour and romance in abundance; there’s a super kingsize bed, a slipper bath and a gypsy caravan in the private garden.

Three more suites in the main house offer individual design, rich palettes and mustcome-back comforts. There’s also a therapy room, where a menu of beauty treatments and massages are conducted in candlelit comfort.

This is a hidden gem for small-scale weddings and elopements. Tucked away in the gardens, the ‘Wed Shed’ offers a unique spot to take your vows, the gorgeous printed chairs, quirky-cool desk and light up ‘wed me’ letters creating a fun vibe with a twist of Mexican fiesta. With a beautiful mural on the wall beyond and the scent of flowers filling the air, it makes an extraordinary, soul stirring backdrop for a ceremony. The Lounge blends the same vibrant character with snug furnishings and glamorous accents, is also licensed for ceremonies.

After your vows you may like a picnic in the gardens, a loved-up stroll across a local beach or a delicious feast in The Shack, an enchanting retreat in the wildflower garden, amidst a carnival of candles and fairy lights, and a roaring log fire. Absorb the romance of this exquisite spot with a soak in the hot tub under the stars or a glass of champagne in the gypsy caravan – just the two of you.

s e l a t y r i a f f o f f u t s e Th Celebrate your wedding in the grounds of an enchanting castle on the Caerhays Estate.

H

ave you been dreaming of the ultimate fairy tale wedding?

Imagine saying your vows in the stunning landscaped grounds of an enchanting stone castle. Well, this dream could soon become a reality. The Caerhays Estate on the south Cornish coast is a spectacular location for your wedding day. Set within 140 acres of Grade II Listed woodland gardens, Caerhays has one of the UK’s most romantic castles as a magnificent backdrop.

Recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Caerhays is a truly magical setting and one in which lifelong memories will be created as part of your special day, whether you envisage walking as newlyweds on the beach, being surrounded by the most picturesque Cornish countryside or to celebrate beside the historic Caerhays Castle.

You’ll be in esteemed company. The Estate and castle are both steeped in history, with a manor situated on the site since at least the 13th century, which has been added to over the years, culminating in the current castle designed by celebrated regency architect John Nash, responsible for some of England’s most iconic buildings including

The Royal Pavilion in Brighton, and parts of Buckingham Palace.

For your wedding ceremony, Caerhays has two remarkable venues on the Estate licensed for civil ceremonies: The Vean and the Old Coastguard’s Lookout. The Vean is a five-star gold awarded Georgian-style country house which can also be hired for the wedding party, with eight luxurious double bedrooms, accommodating up to 16 guests with a complimentary room for the bride and groom. After the ceremony, intimate parties can be catered for in the dining room seating up to 20, or a marquee can be hired on the terrace for 80 people.

At the Old Coastguard’s Lookout, located on the headland overlooking Veryan Bay and with inspiring sea views, the coastal location can accommodate up to 20 guests for an intimate ceremony. Accommodation can also be arranged on the Estate if required in one of the eight luxurious holiday cottages.

For wedding receptions at Caerhays, they can accommodate small and large celebrations. A marquee for up to 150 people can be hired on The Vean lawn or, for larger parties, a marquee within the grounds of the castle can welcome up to 250

guests in full fairy tale splendour.

The team at Caerhays will help ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible and can provide a reputable list of recommended suppliers, including caterers, florists, photographers, musicians and marquee hire firms to assist in the coordination of your day.

As Lucinda Rimmington of the Estate explains, “Whatever your requirements, Caerhays can be yours for the occasion and we will help to ensure your day is just the way you’ve envisaged. For the opportunity to see Caerhays please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d be delighted to show you around so you can see for yourselves just what a special place Caerhays really is for your wedding day.”

So why not book a tour now and see the wonder that awaits you for yourself? You’ll have to find your own Prince Charming of course, but otherwise, this is truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

The dream location

Have the perfect wedding in your dream Cornish destination for a truly unique celebration.

G

uy and Alice found their dream wedding location on a picturesque creek on the River Fowey.

The problem was, as it can only be reached by boat on high tide or by a 15-minute woodland walk, the registration services were unable to approve it as a wedding venue. Luckily for Guy and Alice, Jennifer and Debbie from Unique Celebrations were more than happy to travel by boat to provide a unique ceremony in this beautiful location and Guy and Alice realised their dream. The venue provided boat trips for guests who later enjoyed live music and paella by the riverside.

Jennifer and Debbie left the registration service to become independent celebrants providing couples with personalised wedding ceremonies at their chosen venue.

Jennifer says: “Couples who use independent wedding celebrants have absolutely no restrictions on their ceremony, which can make such a difference when it comes to choosing a venue. Following the continental model, couples must attend a Registry Office of their choice for a short legal ceremony beforehand – not necessarily on the same day.”

Debbie adds: “We get to know couples and work as a team to agree what is said during the ceremony. It is a very cost-effective way to have a bespoke ceremony for those on a budget. We have a booking for a barn close to a couple’s home with the most amazing view over St Mawes Bay and others on Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches.”

“Due to legislation the Registration Service is restricted to holding ceremonies in fixed buildings,” continues Jennifer. “At Unique Celebrations, our couples are free to have their ceremony where and when they want, whatever time of day.”

Unique Celebrations can also help couples choose a venue, especially useful for visitors to the Duchy who don't know the area.

They have teamed up with diverse venues including Charlestown Harbour’s tallship (subject to film bookings); Wheal Martyn Museum, Poldark Mine and a number of animal sanctuaries. So you enjoy the perfect wedding in your dream location.

M

any leave the National Maritime Museum Cornwall affirming that they’ve had the best day out. But did you know that you really can celebrate the best day of your life at this fantastic venue too? Just a quick look at what this unique venue offers and you’ll soon be planning a special day like no other.

Have you thought about arriving at or leaving your wedding by boat? Are you looking for the perfect backdrop for your photographs and for dining guests? Then look no further!

After all, your wedding day is your day; a day you and your friends and family will remember forever. With the NMMC, at the heart of that day is a wedding planner, an event team and a venue that offers you and your guests the mood, the food and the environment to make your day truly sail.

Tamsin Loveless of National Maritime Museum Cornwall explains: “We know you want everything to go smoothly. We have a few marriages amongst our own staff, we’ve been behind the scenes watching all our wedding guests and have even supplied the tissues when the emotions takeover!”

She continues: “Your wedding and the reception is a reflection of you, of your journey with your partner, your memories, your likes and your interests. That’s why our wedding planner and venue is flexible to your needs. We’ll tailor the day completely to give you the perfect wedding.”

Did you know, for instance, that you can get married 100ft up in the Look-Out Tower?

It’s an intimate, but stunning, setting and entirely exclusive to you. Or, you could say “I do” in the Vernon Suite, with its floor-toceiling views of Falmouth harbour. If you’re a film buff, then why not get married in the 100-seat cinema style lecture theatre?

Meet with the wedding planner and discuss every element of your day, from table planning to colour schemes; from flowers to interactives to entertain your guests. You’ll even get the option of an additional day to setup and finalise your reception area, offering you the opportunity to see your reception before you arrive as husband and wife.

So, for a stunning, original, breath-taking setting, be inspired by the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

D

ownright Delicious brings a new dimension to wedding catering from its base it Cornwall. This is the sort of food you hope for at your dream wedding: it’s fresh, vibrant, full of colour and uses the best of the county’s abundant local produce.

So if you’re getting married in Cornwall over the winter or during the spring or summer seasons, you can leave it to the team to come to you and discreetly serve up a seasonal feast to impress your guests.

Executive Chef and owner Richard Musgrave finds no greater pleasure than sharing his love for great food. Fine dining, rustic sharing plates, and even world street food, keep Richard energised in the kitchen.

Downright Delicious currently works closely with the English Heritage teams at the stunning venues of Pendennis Castle and St Mawes Castle, where many glamorous wedding events take place.

“These are such wonderful locations for a wedding and creating food to match the occasion is a real pleasure.

“I am really humbled by the fantastic

local ingredients at our fingertips, and combining them with exciting world flavours is what’s at the heart of Downright Delicious,” Richard explains.

Richard’s passion for food can be seen in the results. “I create food that people delight in both seeing and eating,” he says.

“Food pulls a wedding event together.”

In addition, if you're planning a group holiday, or you're keen to entertain friends in your Cornish home, Downright Delicious can take care of the food so you can get on with enjoying the party.

“We’re flexible with size and style of event,” says Richard. “We’re equally comfortable with business lunches and dinners, as we are with wedding receptions, outdoor festival and street food. It’s all about the food, wherever we are.”
