10 of the Best Wedding Venues in Cornwall
A real jewel in the British crown and a lovely quintessential seaside spot, Cornwall is well loved by many for both holidays, weddings and special occasions. The region is filled with lots of beautiful stately homes, coastal views for miles and plenty of cute independent shops and restaurants that’ll keep your guests happily entertained on the days around the wedding. Plus there is even a part of the Southern coast of Cornwall that has its own micro climate, that brings warmer weather and enables palm trees and subtropical plants to flourish.
Below we’ve gathered a list of our favourite wedding venues in the area right now.
