I cannot thank you enough for helping make this very special day a truly magical experience. Based on our experience, I would certainly recommend this hotel.Wedding Day Venue Service By Chris H, on 14 May 2018Date of Wedding - 14 Sep 2017 Found this hotel to be very good ,recently refurbished rooms with excellent view across the bay ,very good facilities including a lovely pool ,breakfast very good,visited on a very busy weekend so a little waiting time, staff very helpful, wedding venue very good and the whole ceremony all at one location!We just loved getting married here Venue Service By Pamintian & Trim Wedding, on 14 May 2018Date of Wedding - 25 Jun 2017 Having fallen in love with St Ives we returned a year later to look for wedding venues and St Ives Harbour Spa Hotel was the first one we saw. We didn't need to see any others. The hotel is gorgeous and the view from the ceremony room over the sea is amazing. The food, I have to say was nothing short of spectacular. Many of our guest made the effort to thank the chief personally. The hotel made fantastic recommendations on local florists, chair covers companies, DJs etc a day all were just wonderful and we couldn't be happier. We also hired the reception room for tea and scones the next day and this was perfect for getting everyone together after the wedding. As for the honeymoon suite, well it's everything you'd expect. Huge and dunning with outstanding views over the beach and sea and we'd highly recommend the breakfast in bed. We wish we had stayed there for longer. The hotel is being refurbished at the moment but the rooms were have seen look amazing. And if by some miracle you feel stressed for any reason the spa below is one of the best. Also, you're walking distance from the station, the stunning beach and the main St Ives area of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants so what more could you actually ask for!Excellent wedding venue with breathtaking views Venue Service By Velasco Appleton, on 14 May 2018Date of Wedding - 02 Jun 2017 We attended a wedding but did not stay in the hotel. The wedding was exceptional. The location is stunning. The day went very smoothly as the level of service was faultless and the facilities are excellent...the outdoor areas are spacious, delightful and extremely comfortable. The views from the terrace areas are spectacular and the superb beach is below for photo opportunities. The food was outstanding, both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet were excellent with quality ingredients, expertly cooked and served piping hot. Again, the service was brilliant with the food served quickly and the drinks constantly replenished by the hard working staff. The only disappointment was the breakfast we had at the hotel the morning after the wedding which according to the groom was not of the high standard experienced on previous visits. The choice was not huge so you would expect everything to be very good. Sadly, the buffet items were not replenished ( croissants ) or were not replenished quickly enough ( muselli ) and the full cooked breakfast was a pretty poor show with no choice offered such as two rashers of bacon,etc and not really enough food to properly discern the quality of the ingredients. Surprisingly, they were unable to cook poached eggs. Still the wedding day was magnificent.Amazing wedding at an incredible venue Venue Service By Emma D, on 14 May 2018Date of Wedding - 02 Apr 2017 The staff bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly and were flexible in accommodating what we wanted, making for a truly personal and bespoke experience. The food was delicious, and all my guests commented on how fresh and tasty it was, and what variety there was. The hotel boasts stunning views of Porthminster Beach and we were lucky enough to have rooms that looked out across it, these stunning views can also be enjoyed from the dining area, bar and terraces. We took our vows with the wonderful views behind us, then headed out for canapés and bubbly on the terrace, again taking in the breathtaking scenery. The event planners Sydney, Rebecca and Jasmin were there to coordinate the wedding in the months running up, they were extremely experienced and able to offer advice, which was invaluable especially as we were based 300 miles away and doing all our wedding planning from a distance. Then on the day they were around to make sure everything ran like clockwork, along with the other fantastic staff. They all took the stress and worry out of the planning and we were able to relax and enjoy our day and take everything in instead of being anxious. Then there's the fabulous spa, with a beautiful pool and relaxing terrace overlooking the ocean, a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna a gym. The massage I had was out of this world and topped off a wonderful wedding and break. I can't recommend this hotel enough especially for a wedding, otherwise for a Spa or other break, we can't wait to get back again as soon as possible. Book yourself in otherwise it's your loss ;DOur wedding 24th August 2013 Venue Service By Mrs Alexandra Cantelo, on 29 Aug 2013Rebecca, Serene and Bonita went above and beyond their role of wedding organisers.
