Book now for Fairytale wedding!

From the very beginning we were looked after.
We were able to view the venue, were given ideas and listened to regarding our wishes.
Tregenna are very well experienced and guided us through the process making us feel like our wedding was the most important event of the century.
Harriet and Cara are always on hand to answer any questions and offer support. Nothing was too much trouble.
They have many vendors that they recommend and work with regularly but also allow others in too. All of our vendors and musicians have also passed on high praise for the attentiveness of the team at Tregenna Castle.
We had live music, entertainment and so much fun!
I can not recommend Tregenna castle enough.
We chose our menu and were able to arrange a tasting so that we could try each course. Everything was 5 star plus!
They gave us a perfect Fairytale wedding that we will remember forever. Luckily we are local and so can revisit anytime.
Becky was there throughout the day and everything I asked was already done. She took care of everything and more. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Townsend Wedding

Tregenna castle provided us with our dream wedding venue, dream wedding team and all round dream wedding day!
When we look back at each moment, it was amazing because of them, from the co-ordinators, waiters and hotel staff, their combined efforts and hard work made our day, well to put it… perfect!
Harriet and Katie were an anchor of support through each step of the planning process, from timings of the day, menu choices and just around to offer advice.
Harriet who support the bridal team on the big day was calm and collected and got all those finer details in check so the day went as smoothly as planned.
Stephane kept the fun alive and all our guests very well taken of throughout the day.
There will never be enough words to describe how grateful we are to the whole team for helping us create but most importantly be apart of our special day.
If we got to our day all over again, we would choose you… always.

The most incredible wedding venue

We had our wedding at Tregenna Castle on 18.10.2024 and we cannot recommend this venue enough! Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
Harriet and her team made the booking and planning process so easy and were always on the end of the phone to answer any questions we had.
We stayed at the venue the night before our wedding with lots of friends and family members and enjoyed a meal and drinks.
The morning of the wedding was so chilled and me and my bridesmaids had a beautiful breakfast hamper delivered to our room while we were getting ready.
The whole wedding day ran so smoothly and that was thanks to every single staff member involved in our day, we will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did for us to ensure our day was perfect.
So many of our friends and family commented on how amazing everyone and everything was and said what a beautiful venue we had chosen!
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it.
Thank you to everyone at Tregenna for their amazing service.
From the new Mr & Mrs Hunt

Couldn't be happier

Very late at writing this review, but we got married last year at tregenna. All staff were so helpful. Katie was in charge of our wedding and was friendly and very efficient, she made me feel very relaxed about everything. I didn't worry about a thing and just got to enjoy my day. A special thank you to Stefan the toast master, he was absolutely brilliant!

Excellent wedding venue

We recently had our wedding at Tregenna and we couldn’t be more impressed, from communications to service, everything we experienced was faultless from beginning to end. We would highly recommend Tregenna to any couples looking for the perfect wedding venue. We are already looking forward to returning for our anniversary next year!

Wow wow wow

We had our wedding here on Sunday 31st March and it was the most wonderful day and night. The staff here at Tregenna are absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked until the end of our wedding day nothing was too much. We had lots of family and friends stay nights before and after our day and the service was brilliant across reception, housekeeping, bar, restaurant and the wedding staff. Food was excellent in the bar and restaurant, breakfast was also amazing. Some of our family used the leisure facilities which were also great.
Now for the wedding food, although the quality in the restaurant and bar is amazing, we appreciated cooking for so many guests can at times change the quality. HOWEVER, the wedding breakfast and evening food was so delicious, excellent quality and finished to perfection. To all the chefs and kitchen staff, thank you for the most memorable food, all of our family and friends were blown away. Every single course and dish was excellent!
A huge shout out to all the staff who were fantastic and cant sing their praises enough, especially to Becky, Ben, the security guys, and Harriet and Stefan who knew what we wanted or needed even before we did. To all of you, you have made our wedding even more memorable and will never forget how much you looked after us! We will be back!

A wonderful and professional experience which made the day very special.

My daughter’s wedding was a wonderful experience. She was looked after by the wedding planner who consulted and updated her throughout the day. Everything about the day was perfect from the food, staff and wonderful surroundings. Even the rain added to the fun of the day! Would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or a holiday as the staff who work there are friendly and go above and beyond. Thank you Tregenna Castle.

Best wedding experience

Where do we start.. from start to finish the team at Tregenna were so accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless and us and our guests were well looked after.
All the staff at Tregenna were so accommodating throughout our entire stay and nothing was too much hassle for them.. even though they had 3 weddings last weekend to cater for!
The Tregenna team are truly so professional and give a real family feel to the hotel.. from the welcoming staff at reception to the staff behind the bar to the staff running between the kitchen and the restaurant.
A big thank you to the staff who brought up room service breakfast on the morning for myself and my bridesmaids and tidied and set up the bridal suite for when we got back. The room itself is lovely and has a stunning view!

We chose to do our own decor which we left with the events team and they set it up exactly as we wanted. Our guests said how beautiful it all looked and how grand the venue looked.
We had soooo many compliments on the food! Several of our guests throughout the evening said how nice the food was and how much they enjoyed it. We also had so many questions of ‘where are the pasties from?’ And ‘who made the pasties?’ - lots of our local guests said they were the best they had ever had!
They were also so accommodating in changing a guests food on the week of the wedding who was breastfeeding and their baby could not have dairy, and also meeting the needs of one of our guests who was observing Ramadan and therefore fasting and could not eat until sunset.
A special mention also to Stephane who guests said reminded them of Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast and Fred Sirieix from First Dates for his attentiveness and warmth. Thank you also to Becky for supporting with music.

We had the most special day and every detail was perfect.. we just wish we could do it all again! We also had a lovely stay at Tregenna, as did many of our family and friends who stayed also.

A huge thank you to Katie, Harriet, James and the whole team for a truly wonderful wedding weekend - one we will never forget!

Couldn’t have asked for a better venue

Tregenna Castle made everything so easy. We moved over seas about 8 years ago and so planning a wedding for back home wasn’t going to be easy however Tregenna Castle were fantastic. I can’t thank them enough for everything they helped us with and made our day perfect. The staff are amazing, the venue is beautiful, the food is fantastic and they were there to help every step of the way. I wouldn’t have changed a thing, thank you so much!

Outstanding

We had an absolutely amazing wedding here at Tregenna it was better than we could have ever imagined! The staff went above and beyond to make sure the day was exactly what we wanted. The layout of the day ran smoothly and the team are so caring and want the day to be amazing! You have to organise all the suppliers yourself but for me that was ideal as it allowed me to decorate the room and have what I wanted for my big day!

Harriet Deakin
Harriet Deakin
Wedding and Events Manager

With over 10 years of experience in hospitality and events, I’ve built my career by working my way through the industry and gaining experience across a variety of roles. This has given me a real understanding of what makes exceptional hospitality and, most importantly, how important it is to make people feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely looked after.

As a Wedding and Events Manager at Tregenna Castle, I feel incredibly lucky to work in such a beautiful and unique setting. I’ve always loved the atmosphere and character of the castle, and there’s something really special about being surrounded by its history, beautiful grounds, and relaxed Cornish charm. I love sharing that feeling with couples and helping them discover what makes Tregenna such a memorable place to celebrate.

I’m naturally a bubbly, friendly, and approachable person, and I love bringing my personality into what I do. Meeting couples, hearing their stories, getting excited about their ideas, and building a genuine relationship with them is one of my favourite parts of the role. I want couples to feel that they can be themselves with me, ask questions, share their ideas, and know they have someone in their corner throughout the planning process.

I particularly enjoy showing couples around the castle and its beautiful grounds, helping them explore the different spaces and picture how their wedding day could come to life. Seeing the excitement on their faces when they start imagining their own celebration at Tregenna is incredibly rewarding.

I believe attention to detail is at the heart of a truly memorable wedding. It’s the little things that make a celebration feel personal — remembering what matters to each couple, understanding their individual style, anticipating their needs, and making sure every element has been carefully considered. My hospitality background has taught me to stay organised, think ahead, and remain calm while ensuring every detail is taken care of.

Ultimately, I love what I do because I get to be part of such an important and exciting time in people’s lives. My aim is to make the planning journey enjoyable, relaxed, and full of excitement, while creating a wedding day that feels completely personal to each couple. And, of course, I get to do it all in a castle that I genuinely love!

Abi Wallis
Abi Wallis
Wedding and Events Coordinator

As a Wedding and Coordinator at Tregenna Castle, I’m passionate about creating unforgettable celebrations that feel personal, seamless, and truly reflective of each couple’s unique vision. With over 10 years of experience in the events and hospitality industry, alongside a degree in Events Management from the University of Plymouth, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion to every wedding I help create.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is meeting couples and building genuine relationships with them from the very beginning. I love taking the time to get to know each couple, listening to their ideas, understanding what is important to them, and helping them bring their vision to life. I particularly enjoy showing couples around the wonderful spaces and beautiful grounds at Tregenna Castle, helping them explore the possibilities and imagine how their own special day could look and feel.

I believe that attention to detail is at the heart of creating a truly memorable wedding. It’s often the smallest, most thoughtful touches that make a celebration feel personal and unique. From understanding each couple’s individual preferences to carefully coordinating every element of their day, I take pride in ensuring that nothing is overlooked. I aim to anticipate needs, stay one step ahead, and make the entire experience feel effortless for both the couple and their guests.

My background in hospitality and event management has taught me the importance of exceptional service, organisation, communication, and above all, creating a calm and reassuring experience for couples. I understand that planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, and I want every couple to feel confident knowing they have someone experienced, approachable, and genuinely invested in making their day everything they have imagined.

My goal is to create not only a beautifully planned and executed wedding, but an experience that couples genuinely enjoy from the moment they first visit Tregenna Castle to the moment they say their goodbyes. Being part of such an important chapter in a couple’s lives is a privilege, and I love bringing together all the thoughtful details, personal touches, and special moments that create memories they, and their loved ones, will cherish for years to come.

Senior Food and Beverage Supervisor

Hello, and congratulations on your engagement!

I’m one of your Food & Beverage Manager here at Tregenna Castle, and I’ll be one of the people helping to make sure your wedding day runs as smoothly and effortlessly as possible.

On the day itself, I’ll be there from start to finish, looking after you and your guests and making sure everything is running to plan. I’ll also be acting as your Toastmaster, helping to guide you and your guests through the different parts of the day, from welcoming everyone and announcing key moments to keeping an eye on timings and making sure everyone knows what is happening next.

My role is to take away as much of the worry as possible, so you can relax and enjoy your wedding. I’ll be keeping a close eye on everything happening around you, making sure the drinks are flowing, the wedding breakfast runs smoothly, and that everything is ready for each part of your celebration.

For me, it’s the little details that make a big difference. I’ll check in with you throughout the day to make sure you’re happy, everything is going to plan, and you have everything you need. If something needs to be organised or a small detail needs taking care of, I’ll be there to handle it, allowing you to stay focused on enjoying the moment.

I’m naturally very approachable and love being part of the excitement of a wedding day. Even when things get busy, I’ll always aim to remain calm, positive, and reassuring. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing that someone is keeping a close eye on everything behind the scenes.

Your wedding is a very special occasion, and I understand how important it is that the day feels personal to you. I’ll work closely with you, your guests, and the wider wedding team to help bring your plans to life and ensure the day flows naturally from one moment to the next.

Ultimately, my role is about much more than food and drink. As well as looking after you and your guests, I’ll be your Toastmaster, your point of contact, and the person helping to keep the day moving. I’ll be there to make announcements, guide your guests, anticipate what you might need, and take care of the little things you shouldn’t have to think about.

My aim is simple: for you to feel relaxed, looked after, and completely present in the moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes is being taken care of.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you both and being part of your special day at Tregenna Castle!
