Flossy and Luke’s wedding

Where to begin ! We got married on the 24th of July and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Laraine and her husband are the most kind and attentive people and truly made our day perfect. The planning process was easy and stress free, they made sure not only our wants and needs were met but our friends and family too.
The day was everything we could have ever wanted!

A hidden gem in Cornwall!

We decided to have our wedding at Carwinion House and we are so happy that we did! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and, as we got married in May, the gardens and surrounding grounds were full of beautiful plants and flowers. The owners, Larraine and Paul, were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating of our ideas. You can tell they have put a great deal of effort into creating a wonderful space for weddings and other events.

We chose to have our ceremony outside down by the pond and it was a lovely and relaxed environment for everyone to gather surrounded by trees, flowers, and birds. The walled garden where the majority of the reception was held is amazing and again was full of springtime colours. All the staff were really friendly, helpful, and supportive in ensuring the event ran smoothly. The house itself provided a lovely place for the wedding party to get ready and the whole venue is filled with an amazing variety of excellent places to have photos taken.

The venue also provided the marquee, tables, chairs, crockery, sound system and bar services, which was really helpful and took a great deal of stress out of the planning process. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and everyone had a fantastic time! We would absolutely recommend Carwinion House to anyone and we will always treasure the memories and photos we have of the venue that was such an important part of our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
