Information For Carbis Bay Hotel

What’s better than getting married? Getting married on the beach! At Carbis Bay, barefooted brides can walk sandy-toed down the aisle, before exchanging seaside vows with their husband-to-be.

As wedding days are remembered forever, they should be perfect. Set against the backdrop of our privately-owned Blue Flag beach, as exotic and exhilarating as any British shoreline, Carbis Bay fits the bill.

Twelve separate areas of the estate are licensed for ceremonies, including the beach and Ocean Venue on the buttery sand, an outdoor spa garden pavilion, beautiful function suites inside the main house, and the cosy coastal Inn the Gannet. From classic to quirky, small and intimate to grand and glam, weddings are expertly tailored to every couple’s precise wishes.

In addition, cocktail parties and barbecues can be thrown overlooking the turquoise waters, perhaps before a beach side firework finale. Also right on the beach are the hotel’s new, coastal-chic Beach Lodges and Suites, some of them boasting hot tubs and sauna pods. Those make for a comfortable and indulgent first night of wedlock, while larger apartments suit bridal parties, groomsmen or travelling families.

Harriet has been great with us. Doesn’t matter how many times we want to go and see the venue. To allow us to plan things out in our minds. Harriet will book an appointment and will go around with us. And reassure us that my disabled mom will be looked after, to get on the golf buggy to get onto the beach. Without me having to worry about been a carer on my wedding day.

Carbis Bay Hotel Events Team
Currently planning our wedding in Carbis Bay Estate in the Godvery Room. Had our visit to the estate and was blown away with the beach on the door step. The events team and staff have been very polite and welcoming to all our questions.

Breathtaking Venue, and super helpful coordinator
The venue had the wow factor, so beautiful, and each room on offer had a different vibe and theme to it.
We ended up booking the beach hut, and I still keep thinking back to how beautiful it was. Myself and Connor new instantly it was right.

Rea showed us round, she was so knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions. She had a information pack for us to take away, offered us coffee, she was very very welcoming, and was not pushy, or persuasive.

After booking the venue we received some champagne and a congratulations card, which was very unexpected, and a lovely surprise!

We can't wait to get married!

Breath taking wedding venue
My wedding coordinator is Ria at Carbis bay hotel and she is amazing nothing is too much trouble. We live 7 hours away and she as made the whole process so smooth already. Carbis bay is breath taking to the point I cried when I seen it. This is my dream wedding location to get married facing the beach and sea. And after we had already booked it we then found out that the G7 summit was held there. This made it even more special for us. I cannot wait for my wedding day at one of the most special places it could be.

From the moment of your enquiry to the delivery of your perfect day, every wedding at Carbis Bay Estate is put together with meticulous detail to create a truly memorable experience. The Estate offers many areas which are licensed for weddings but I love The Wedding Hut directly on the sands of the beach. It’s rustic but chic and allows couples to have their own exclusive venue overlooking the bay with direct access out on to the sand. It’s lovely to plan and deliver weddings at the Estate – I got married here and had an incredible experience! I’ve been planning and delivering weddings at Carbis Bay for over five years and have made some amazing friends along the way. I am always available throughout the journey to help share any thoughts and ideas, achieve key milestones and take any of the stress out of the planning process for you.
