We have indoor and outdoor spaces for your ceremony. Tie the knot in one of our beautiful lounges, our Country Club Room, in the gardens or down at the water's edge at The Helford.

Boutique Weddings
We specialise in boutique weddings for up to 20 people.
From the really small … we’ve hosted elopements, (where we have provided the witnesses), to weddings with 6 guests who enjoyed an intimate ceremony followed by dinner in the restaurant and a whole range of beautiful events for up to 20 people.
We hold a Civil Licence so can host your ceremony as well as your reception, so if you’re thinking ‘small is beautiful’ then come and pay us a visit. Our beautiful rooms offer you and your guests the chance to make a stay of it.
Your Ceremony
Exchange your vows in our beautifully light and bright function suite overlooking the garden and golf course. We’ll dress the registrar's table with white linen and arrange the room so you and your guests are comfortable (up to 20 guests).
You may choose to dress the chairs and we can help you arrange this.
Wedding Reception
Whether you have enjoyed your ceremony with us or tied the knot elsewhere we can offer a lovely space for your wedding breakfast or reception.
Our room hire package includes a wedding co-ordinator to assist you along the way and a PA system for speeches. You may also plug and play background music through the built-in AV system.
Dining
Our talented team of chefs have an enviable reputation for serving wonderful food using locally sourced ingredients.
For elopements or very small weddings you may choose to dine in our main restaurant, or if you’re happy in the function room that’s great too... we can talk that over when we’re helping you make your plans. If you’re putting together your own wedding breakfast you can choose a beautiful buffet or a sit down meal to enjoy in your private function room.
Menu Ideas
We can offer sit down meals, fork or finger buffets. To get the ball rolling here are some examples.
Please be aware that our food may contain, or come into contact with, common allergens, such as dairy, eggs, wheat, soybeans, nuts, fish and shellfish. Please don't hesitate to ask us about the ingredients in our food. Our chefs are happy to cater for any dietary requirements and we can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, GF and other dietary requirements. We’ll work with you to see what produce is in season, what’s on offer and the type of meal you are looking for.

Time Together
Take some time out from your planning and preparations to enjoy some time with friends and family before your wedding. Get active or just sit back and relax, we can help you create a joyful pre-wedding day to remember.
Our leisure facilities include a 15m indoor pool, (complete with an open log fire), two all-weather tennis courts and a 9-hole, 18 tee parkland golf course.
Explore
Take a stroll through our woodland valley garden to reach our private foreshore on The Helford River. From here you and your friends could set out with our partners Koru Kayaking or Helford River Cruises to explore the river, perhaps taking in Frenchman’s Creek or the beautiful hamlet of Port Navas… keep your eyes peeled for cormorants, herons, seals and the occasional dolphins who have been known to put in an appearance.
We can help you arrange all sorts of outdoor pursuits such as archery, laser clay shooting; running excursions or Nordic walking.
Getting Wedding Ready
Our Natural Health Spa offers a variety of treatments to get you looking and feeling tip top. We’ll carry out a personal consultation in advance of any treatments to ensure you get the best out of your time with us. We have skincare ranges for all skin types, for men and women, and can advise on homecare routines as your wedding day approaches.
Groups of up to 20 can enjoy a seasonal spa day which includes a 45-minute treatment, a beautiful light lunch, use of the leisure facilities and, of course, a robe – essential attire for a day at a spa. Our seasonal spa days are designed to ensure your body gets the nourishment it needs.
And of course, we offer waxing, tinting, manicures and pedicures to make sure you’re wedding ready. Give our spa a call on 01326 252101 to discuss treatments, or a series of treatments, in the run up to your big day.
These days do get full quickly so please be sure to book as soon as you can.
