There are a variety of stunning indoor and outdoor ceremony locations to choose from. Exchange vows in a civil ceremony in the Drawing Room, Library, or Hall, or have a blessing or celebration in the breathtaking Strawberry Gothic Chapel. Afterwards, celebrate with a champagne reception on the Chapel Court Lawn, surrounded by the estate’s romantic ambience.

Uniquely Perfect!!

We got married at Trelowarren in September 2025 and it was the perfect venue. We looked all around Cornwall at venues but so many of them had a ‘factory’ feel and seemed impersonal. In contrast, from the minute we drove down the drive and saw the wild ponies and historic site we knew this was going to be for us.

We were shown around by the lovely Karen and were blown away by the history of the venue and multiple spaces that could be used from the historic chapel, to the old library, the courtyard and stable event space. We were able to build our day however we wanted and Trelowarren tried to accommodate every suggestion and idea we had.

We also loved that it was a venue where not just we could stay, but all of our wedding party and close family, as there are many cottages on site. This turned the wedding into a full holiday for us and our family and meant we were able to spend lots of time together, as well as have welcome drinks the night before and get ready in different places on site.

On the day, we were looked after by the amazing Out of the Ordinary weddings who are outsourced as the coordinators and everything ran so smoothly. Flora (who are on site) catered the wedding and many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten. We were even able to curate our own menu with the amazing Tim in the run up, including them providing us with a special cocktail hour after dinner in Flora restaurant with a jazz trio to get the party started whilst the main room was changed over.

Thank you so much to the whole team at Trelowarren for the best day ever. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
