Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 49)

SCORRIER HOUSE, REDRUTH Scorrier House provides a romantic and refined backdrop for weddings surrounded by a 400-acre private estate. There’s a large private garden filled with exotic plants, a swimming pool and a wood-fired sauna. There’s also the Secret Garden, an ancient walled space with a shepherd’s hut sleeping two people, plus the Stable House located in a historic stable courtyard sleeping up to ten guests. Ceremonies take place in the Grand Hall under a magnificent sweeping double staircase. Here, 120 loved ones can gather and this space can be transformed for receptions, followed by dancing in the Drawing Room with its stucco ceiling and tall bay windows which opens into the vibrant conservatory and recently refurbished bar. During the summer months, couples can say they do in the rose-clad historic walled garden, pool garden by the swimming pool in front of the gazebo, or several other outdoor locations including Whispering Woods, a woodland glade with a hand-built stage. From al fresco drinks and canapés afterwards to lawn games including croquet, boules, and rounders, there’s an outdoor space to suit any kind of reception and marquees can be erected on the lawn for larger gatherings. The exotic conservatory and historical garden both provide a unique backdrop for wedding photos, as does the iconic staircase, plus accommodation is included in the price. www.scorrierhouse.co.uk COAST BEACHSIDE, HAYLE This contemporary wedding event space in Cornwall boasts some of the best sea views in the region from its unique beachfront location.
