We are still pinching ourselves at just how perfect our wedding at St Michael’s Resort was. From start to finish, the whole team went above and beyond, and we feel so grateful to every single person who made the day what it was. From the very beginning, Nikki, the sales manager, made us fall in love with the space. She embraced all our crazy ideas, put us at ease straight away, and really sold us on the laid-back, relaxed feel of the venue; exactly the vibe we were looking for. As our planning progressed, Lana joined the team as our coordinator and immediately hit the ground running. She kept us so well informed, supported us with both our vegan and gluten-free needs (a difficult duo to cater for), and helped bring our vision to life. It was such a comfort knowing she was on our side throughout the planning (and we’re convinced we’ll see her at a Zach Bryan gig sometime soon!). On the day itself, Ella stepped in last minute and was an absolute star, we couldn’t have been luckier! Her warm, bubbly energy was exactly what we needed; she managed everything to perfection while keeping us relaxed and fully present. She struck the perfect balance of keeping us updated without ever intruding on those special moments. Andrew, the F&B manager, was also incredible. He fielded my endless questions with patience, and made sure everything ran seamlessly. He was with us from 8am until midnight on the wedding day, literally through every moment, making sure things were running without a hitch! Alongside the amazing service, was of course, the bespoke menu the chefs created for us which was nothing short of phenomenal. Our guests are still raving about it! And finally, bar man Oli deserves his own special shout-out. From our pre-wedding event to the big day itself (and somehow still showing up at breakfast the morning after), he spent practically 24 hours with us and our guests; serving up fantastic drinks, even better dance moves, and endless energy. He felt like part of the party as much as part of the team, and we can’t thank him enough. The whole team at St Michael’s were amazing. They made sure every detail, no matter how small, was handled with care and warmth. From the monumental vegan breakfast spread of dreams for the bridal party, to the way they looked after each and every one of our guests, they exceeded every expectation we had. We are endlessly grateful to everyone at St Michael’s Resort. They didn’t just host our wedding; they created an experience we and our guests will treasure forever. The stunning sea views and beautiful setting were the icing on the cake, but it was the people who made it truly unforgettable. We already can’t wait to come back again! *all photos by Matt Ebbage

The venue of our dreams! Driving into the venue is like driving into another world! We knew we wanted our wedding to be uniquely us. With my husband’s family routes in Cornwall, our love of the water and our perchant for a party, this was the place for us. We had our ceremony outside overlooking the beautiful coastline. A drinks and cocktail reception on the lawn, a delicious wedding breakfast in the main hall and golden hour of dreams on the private beach. We loved that we could have the venue for the weekend, with many of our family coming from far and wide, being able to spend those extra days together is so precious. The fort also lets you choose whichever suppliers you like, meaning our day could be exactly what we wanted. Free flowing wine we provided ourselves, our own decor, our choice of caterers, a cocktail hour, the band from our favourite rugby club back home and Cornish pasties from our favourite bakery for evening food! Thank you for helping make our day so incredible!

Got married on 29th November and our Lusty Glaze wedding was beyond spectacular. It was everything that we wanted it to be... and more. We honestly wouldn't change a single thing. To be in that glorious setting, surrounded by the people we love, was just fabulous. The staff at Lusty are wonderful, every single one of them. Our guests keep raving on about how lovely ALL the staff were, how delicious the carvery was and about the beauty of the venue, of course. We had the winter wedding package with up to 60 day guests. The food was a two meat carvery and it was outstanding. Amazing photo opportunities and the wedding planning team were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and their communication was always quick, throughout the year of organising. Highly recommend Lusty Glaze.

We held our wedding in St Ives as it holds a very special place in our lives. We have been coming to St Ives for over 35 years. We chose the Guildhall for the ceremony and were delighted with the great communication and support from Jen, talking through things was a great help and even helped with dressing the Chamber room on the day itself. We held our reception at the wonderful Porthgwidden Beach Cafe, where the amazing Will and his team gave us the perfect reception from start to finish. He took my ideas of a simple wedding and executed it above and beyond our expectations. Food was amazing and the view in the background of beach and sea married into our vision. A wonderful day thank you everyone St ives in our hearts Kathryn and Mark 💕💕💕

Getting married here was exactly what we’d hoped. An intimate venue with a beautiful backdrop. The venue was very flexible in allowing us to source our own vendors and celebrant. It really was a perfect day, and Jen is super approachable and easy to work with! Thank you!

We found this venue quite by chance on our coastal walk whilst on holiday in Porthleven in July 2020, looked them up and couldn’t quite believe our eyes at how stunningly beautiful Beacon Crag was both inside the house and the views outside . The following year we popped along to see Sam and get an idea of our ceremony options , we just wanted something low key , elopement wedding , somewhere special to us ( Porthleven) Sam was so helpful and understanding right from the start even sourced some flower towers very last minute for us and gave us contact details for a photographer also a very last minute decision on our part . Our day was just perfect, everything ran smoothly, chilled and relaxed just the two of us with our 4 kids and their partners . Beacon Crag has everything for a small intimate ceremony to a large gathering of family and friends. Beautiful setting whatever the weather . Our wedding photos are amazing and still don’t quite believe that our dream venue was just there waiting for us to find . Porthleven is even more special to us now thanks to our lucky find of Beacon Crag and its amazing hostess Sam . Simply cannot rate highly enough
