Weddings at one of the most romantic gardens in the world

Nestled in the enchanting village of Pentewan, Cornwall, The Lost Gardens of Heligan offers an intimate and unforgettable wedding experience. Once a forgotten gem, hidden within the overgrown brambles since the First World War, this captivating estate has been reborn thanks to a remarkable restoration project. The discovery of a hidden door sparked the revitalisation of Europe's largest garden restoration, transforming the grounds into a serene and picturesque sanctuary. Today, Heligan stands proudly among the most beautiful gardens in Britain, providing a magical and timeless setting for a fairytale wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

Spanning 200 acres of lush, vibrant landscapes, The Lost Gardens of Heligan offers a variety of stunning indoor and outdoor event spaces, including nine picturesque locations licensed for civil ceremonies. Whether you dream of exchanging vows surrounded by the blooming beauty of nature or within the charming interiors of a historic building, there is a perfect spot to suit every couple. The Heligan Kitchen Conservatory provides an exquisite venue for a classic three course dinner and celebration, while the outdoor barbecue area offers a relaxed and informal atmosphere for a memorable reception. While most weddings at Heligan accommodate between 20 and 50+ guests, larger celebrations can be arranged for evening receptions.
