Ceremonies

Marry inside or out - the choice is yours!

We are delighted to be able to offer couples the opportunity to legally marry at numerous indoor and outdoor locations across the estate.

Capacities for these locations vary, allowing a huge choice for ceremonies of all sizes.

We are in Cornwall however, and boringly you do need an official wet weather option for a registrar-led ceremony, so please also choose an indoor space as your back up plan, or talk to us about a canopy or marquee as ‘back up’ for an outdoor setting.

Wisteria Pavilion

When the wisteria blooms, the Pavilion provides a truly scent-sational backdrop for couples to marry.

Guests can be seated on the Old Tennis Lawn looking at you under the wisteria, or small weddings of up to 60 guests can join you under the pavilion itself.

This is also where a marquee adjoins the Castle for our marquee tariff.

Exchange your vows beside the River Tamar in the charming Victorian Bathing Hut. The perfect location for your ceremony whether small or large, seating up to 60 guests.

The Old Tennis Lawn

Couples can now choose to marry anywhere on the lawn. The herbaceous borders, the rhododendrons and wisteria, the river views and our country castle, are all options for your backdrop.

The Drawing Room provides a relaxed atmosphere with large sofas to seat your guests. Combining luxury, comfort, and a touch of history, this timeless space is ideal to gather your nearest and dearest.

With the Victorian greenhouses (as featured in Sky One’s Delicious) as your backdrop, the Walled Gardens offer a very intimate and rustic ceremony location. If you are lucky, you may even be joined by one of the estate peacocks too!

These sloping gardens offer a truly unique setting for your ceremony. Seating would depend on the exact spot you choose to say ‘I do’.
