Dream wedding venue and most special setting

Cornish Tipis was the only venue we visited and loved it from the get go. Now 5 days after our wedding i can confirm it was everything we dreamed of and more! I LOVED it. It has such a warm feeling and so many of our guests were blown away by our ceremony on the pontoon looking over the lake and the most asked question being 'how did you find this place?!'. It felt like a dream come true :) It was the perfect mix and combination of a DIY wedding that you could make and personalise yourself but also had the amazing support and help from the staff to make it exactly as we pictured and put my mind at ease. We had Gastropod on site do our food which was brilliant and having the top village field for 33 of our friends to stay was the perfect way to make a whole weekend of it. I honestly had the best day of my life and can't get over how beautiful the lake and venue is. It's being able to add the personal touches yourself and dress the marquee and field how you wish which makes the day feel tailor made for you. I can't wait to visit every year and to one day bring our children :) x Kate & Ben

Hi Kate and Ben,

Your review and photos brought tears to my eyes, we would love to have you back for a visit and look forward to meeting your future family :)

The way you dressed the jetty looked so lovely as did the marquee, your right its the personal touches that make all the difference.

Thank you both again for letting us work with you we loved it as much as you.

Katie & Toms Wedding September 7th 2024

Thank you so much for helping to make our day the best day of our lives. When viewing wedding venues Cornish Tipis was initially a wild card as we were set on getting married on the beach. However, after viewing Cornish Tipi Weddings with Kim we instantly fell in love with the venue and knew we couldn’t get married anywhere else- it was the perfect venue for a fairy tale, midsummers nights dream wedding in the woods crossed with a festival. It’s the perfect blend of working with experts who have clearly done so many weddings before, but the DIY nature of the venue means that you can really add your own touch to the decoration and the day can be completely what you want it to be. You’re in full control of the order of the events and how you want your wedding to be. It was really important to us that everything happened in one place for our wedding so that guests could turn up on Friday and not have to leave if they didn’t want to until the Sunday morning after the wedding. There was a yellow weather warning for rain for our wedding an it was still incredible! Kim liaised with with all of our suppliers to make sure they were fully informed and told us everything we had to bring for the venue- along with plenty of organisation tips and tricks. I can’t recommend this venue more highly to be honest!

We both got ready on site, got married by the lake, had some reception drinks at the wedding pavilion then headed up the marquee for our food provided by Kerra's catering and a ceilidh by the Rosevilles who were brilliant. The staff at Cornish Tipi couldn't have done more for us and were so great at helping things flow on the day.

Thank you so much again

Magical and Down To Earth

We would highly recommend CTW!
So many of our guests said it was the BEST WEDDING EVER! Due to the setting. Getting married by the Lake was magical.
Staff were so adaptable to some last minute changes on the day due to the weather. The general Zen vibe on site automatically makes any anxious bride calm and chill.
CTW communicated really great through out our planning months. They were genuinely excited and with us and in no way felt like just another wedding nor customer.
We will definitely be going back for future anniversaries.

The perfect wedding venue

We couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect and beautiful wedding venue. The team were outstanding and made everything so special and made us at ease as soon as we arrived. Everything they did, all the little details were so perfect. We riskily didn’t visit the location prior to our wedding day and to be truly honest, I’m glad we didn’t. Being left speechless by our marriage spot, which was the lake, added to the magic of the day. The staff were also really helpful with helping us with anything we needed.
We truly, truly couldn’t have had a more perfect day. Thank you so much to everyone.

Exquisite location, Phenomenal team, Overwhelming day.

My partner and I were married recently on the grounds of Cornish Tipi Weddings. As the title to the review suggests, the location was absolutely stunning, the grounds are quite clearly maintained enough to stop it from being overrun, yet not so much that the area's natural beauty is inhibited. I know that we cannot control the weather, however for the date, you couldn't have asked for better. The sun kept us relaxed and the very slight breeze kept us all cool whilst we were out on the lake surrounded by further breathtaking views.
The team over at Cornish Tipi are second to none, from the first initial meet and greet we felt both welcome and supported (which was a massive relief, since neither of us had been married before so didn't know what to expect...) Not one question was too obvious to answer and not a single request denied. Whilst the admin and wedding staff were amazing, there was one gent on the team that stood out to us all (guests included), his name is John, the amount of times that he ran up and down the entire venue to ensure we had anything and everything we needed or wanted, can not be counted on one two hands alone. (Needless to say, we had to force some cake onto him and the team there that day for being absolute superstars!) Nothing at all was too much trouble for him.
The day as a whole was the best of our lives. If we went back in time, even with more options, I truly believe we'd still have chosen this one.
We recommend this venue to anyone that wants to add a little peace and nature to their wedding, the team are more than happy to get stuck in with any ridiculous request, will help with decorating and moving things around and appear to be genuinely happy to be there with you. The price of the venue fair for what they offer, they also have access to their own catering team, photographers and florists should you wish to look at their list of "super suppliers", which helps to take the stress out of the preparation.

Thank you for reading.

Hi Josh and Shannon,

Wow! What a lovely review, thank you :)

We are all so pleased that you enjoyed your day, the weather in May and June recently has been hard to beat, the sunshine on the lake really does make for magical photos. I know that Kim will have got the best shots for you as she knows the venue so well.

I will pass on your compliments to John and the rest of the team, we all look forward to seeing you both again soon and wish you a happy ever after :)

Better than we could have hoped!

We had the most amazing experience with Cornish Tipis. In the year leading up to the wedding they were always friendly, responsive and helpful on email, and when we visited the venue. Our first look round with Kim confirmed to us it was the place for us, as we loved the relaxed but organised vibe, and how much choice you have with what you do. The best things about the venue are the staff, who are all friendly, chilled but also efficient, the beautiful site, the festival vibe- having everyone stay for the whole weekend meant we spent time with everyone and had fun with guests young and old, how much freedom you have with your day, including no corkage charge and being able to decorate however you like and choose different suppliers, the wonderful on site food, the importance of sustainability with eco toilets, great recycling and an off grid low impact feel. All our guests had an amazing time and so did we.

Hi Imogen and Oli
We are so pleased that you enjoyed working with us, it's lovely to hear that your guests all had fun and that you were able to spend time with everyone, weddings are so special because of this, there are just to few occasions when we get to have all our special people together in one place.
Your two piece wedding outfit was gorgeous and so unusual you looked stunning, I think the weather gave you sunshine and showers but it really made for some lovely photos.
Thank you for your review from all of the team at tipis :)

The best day of our lives

Such a beautiful venue and the staff were lovely and very helpful. They advised me and gave me many options, our budget was tight but we had the most beautiful wonderful day and did not go without. When I first set eyes on this venue I honestly thought it would be out of my budget because it’s absolutely out of this world. We traveled down for 7 hours and spent the week in Cornwall with all our friends and family and was still in budget. Honestly cannot recommend them enough. Thanks to all at the Cornish tipi for giving us the best venue ever !!

Mr and Mrs Taylor 11/08/2023

Me and my husband got married here on the 11/08/23 and we could not of wished for a better ceremony! Everything ran smoothly and nothing was too much. It was the nice chilled wedding we wanted. The venue itself is beautiful and picturesque. Our Pictures turned out even better than we imagined. We took full advantage of the lake! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone! xxx

Our wedding 22.04.23

We couldn't thank Cornish tipi enough for our amazing wedding day. The staff were flawless at helping us create the best day and execute it perfectly. Couldn't fault a thing about it apart from how fast the day went.

Magical venue

Cornish tipis was the most magical venue for our wedding. It looks incredible in photos, but photos still don’t do it any justice!!! We got married in the pavilion and then had our evening reception in the lower village field and it was all perfect. The setting is gorgeous, and we were extremely lucky to have beautiful weather too. The staff on the day were really hard working and so polite and helpful. We wouldn’t have changed a single thing about the venue or how our day went. If you want a beautiful outdoors, laid back wedding then this is definitely the venue for you :)
