Weddings

Port Eliot is one of the most enchanting places in Cornwall. This idyllic setting, with the imposing house overlooking stunning parkland, is the historic seat of the Earl of St Germans, home to the Eliot family for over 400 years. Port Eliot is for hire on a very exclusive basis for wedding receptions.

A Port Eliot wedding can be a classical fairy-tale or a story of rock ’n’ roll decadence (or sometimes, a little bit of both). As a private house with extensive grounds, a covetable contacts book and an open mind, Port Eliot provides an unforgettable setting for all styles of celebration.

Adjacent to Port Eliot is the finest, oldest historic church in Cornwall. Once a cathedral and part of the pilgrims way, it is an architecturally fascinating building with a well preserved Norman doorway and Burne Jones windows as part of its fine features.

A magnificent Grade I listed house & gardens, Port Eliot is one of the most beautiful places in Cornwall, providing a perfect backdrop for your wedding day.

Weddings at Port Eliot are magical and unforgettable occasions. Due to the nature of the site, they tend to have a vibrant, festival feel – a ceremony in the stunning Georgian Orangery, with its romantic chandeliers entwined with flowers, followed by a truly magical wedding celebration in a fabulous clear-glazed marquee taking in all the beauty of the river.
