Have you thought about saying I do by the sea? If you have Cornwall is be your ideal location to get married.
I might be biased in saying this but Cornwall is the ultimate location to get married in the UK. There I’ve said it!
Whether you are wanting to elope or have a massive celebration by the sea. You can have the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. To help you I’ve created this post all about the Top 5 coastal venues in Cornwall … so keep on reading and check them out.
Above The Bay
A very new venue to the scene and in the heart of Falmouth Above The Bay is a truly unique venue. Set on a golf course that has a breathtaking outlook – on one side you overlook the town all the way out to sea and onto Pendennis Castle and on the other all the way over towards Maenporth.
You can really get everything you dream of here, the setting, the food, and the service to name a few. Plus you can get so many unique photos to help you remember your special day … which I absolutely love. An added bonus is that you’re a 2 minute drive from the beach – what’s not to like.
