Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

We got married at Surfside on 24th August, the weather was perfect and the venue was a dream. Claire and the team made sure the day went smoothly, we had a fantastic time. The food was gorgeous and the atmosphere was relaxed. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the band The Budgie Smugglers were fantastic too. Highly recommended for beach wedding, the views whilst eating were gorgeous too. We had the most amazing day. We could not have imagined anything better ❤️

The BEST day ever!

Claire and her team at Surfside truly delivered the best day ever!
We wanted an intimate wedding that felt relaxed, and that's exactly what we got. Claire was always available to chat through ideas and plans, and she made us feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and she did everything she could to make sure our vision came to life.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The views are incredible all day, but the sunset in the evening falls right in front of the venue and creates the most breathtaking backdrop. It honestly doesn't get much better than that.
We chose the help-yourself banquet with jerk chicken, beef brisket, roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and salad, and every single guest commented on how unreal the food was! We also added Surfside's exclusive rum punch, which was a massive hit. It tastes amazing... but it's definitely lethal (completely worth the headache the next day! 😂).
Every member of staff was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They all played a huge part in making the day run so smoothly.
It truly was the most magical day, and we honestly can't thank Claire and everyone at Surfside enough. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. ✨️✨️✨️✨️

The best beachside wedding venue

Surfside has always held a special place in our hearts. It’s where we got engaged, and we’ve been coming here for years to surf, so there was never anywhere else we wanted to celebrate our wedding.

From the incredible setting overlooking the beach to the amazing team who made everything run so smoothly, every detail was perfect. A huge thank you to Claire for all your hard work, kindness and support throughout the whole process. To Jez behind the bar for making us feel like royalty – And a special mention to Andi, whose food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the meat was!

Our day was everything we had hoped for and more, and we’ll treasure those memories forever. Thank you for making such an important chapter of our lives so unforgettable. We’ll always have a special connection to Surfside.

Pre-Wedding drinks

We had a wonderful pre-wedding drinks party at Surfside. Claire was super helpful in the lead up and on the day, and our party had such a fun time! The drinks were great, live music was fab, and the evening was very memorable. Thank you for everything!

Unique venue, incredible food and an amazing team

We had a fantastic experience with the team at Surfside. Liaising with Claire to organise the day was a joy. She is down to earth, easy to communicate with and is as flexible as possible when it comes to planning - so the day feels tailored to you.

The rest of the team worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure the day itself ran smoothly, with zero stress. Shout out to Jez, who went above & beyond to make the whole day and evening feel special (and run like clockwork).

The blessing in the Rum Bar was beautiful, intimate and incredibly unique.

The food by Andy was absolutely delicious and our guests were amazed at how such a large quantity of food could consistently be SO good. Just the most gorgeous wedding food EVER.

Overall, we had a perfect day and would recommend to anyone. Surfside will always hold a special place in our lives!

Our perfect wedding!!

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than Surfside in Polzeath for our wedding. From start to finish, everything was just incredible.

The setting itself is absolutely stunning, right on the beach, creating the most relaxed and beautiful atmosphere for our day. But what truly made it unforgettable was the team behind it all.

Claire was amazing from the very beginning—so organised, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day exactly how we wanted it. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made the whole process feel so easy and enjoyable.

On the day itself, the whole team were just brilliant. They worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their calm, friendly approach meant we could completely relax and enjoy every moment. The entire staff team were attentive, professional, and so warm with all of our guests.

So many people commented on how incredible the venue and team were, and we couldn’t agree more. Andy provided the most amazing roast dinner for us and our guests. We have had great feedback on the food, with one guest asking if I could get his cauliflower cheese recipe! If you’re considering Surfside for your wedding, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in the best hands.

Thank you again to Claire, Tom, Andy, and the whole Surfside team for giving us the most magical day we’ll never forget.
