Weddings at Heligan

The multi-award winning Lost Gardens of Heligan are as beautiful as they are unique; with a timeless elegance and ethereal charm which we believe makes there no better wedding venue in Cornwall to play host to your special day.

A magical setting

Our dedicated Wedding Team will look after you every step of the way, from the initial consultation through to your special day. With the option to hold ceremonies and dinner for up to 50 guests, this intimate wedding venue will provide you and your guests the ultimate rustic, garden experience. Walking through the gardens to your wedding location, you may hear birds singing on Flora’s Green, smell the flowers in the walled gardens and see lambs bouncing around the paddocks. Heligan offers an idyllic setting we hope you will all remember for years to come.

Wedding feast

85% of the produce used in our menus is from Heligan Garden & Estate, meaning it’s only 157 yards from the garden to your table.

From our own rare breed livestock to the array of fresh vegetables and fruit, we are incredibly lucky to have such versatile, seasonal ingredients at our fingertips. Sourcing wines grown on the coastal slopes of Cornwall and beyond, as well as local spirits, means we can create a bar menu that reflects your tastes. We hope you enjoy food as much as we do and are happy to create a menu for your wedding day that speaks to your love of food.
