  If we could change one thing about our wedding day – it would only be that we could do it all again. From the instant, we found Pencarrow online and we knew it would be the place for us – visiting the site and meeting Nico confirmed it.
  
  Our aim was to evoke the spirit of the very best bits of Cornwall on our wedding day, and Pencarrow certainly delivered.
  
  Everyone has their own style – but the fantastic thing about getting married here is that you have all the benefits of an established venue combined with the flexibility to tailor the day in a way that is bespoke to you.
  
  Being positioned in London could have provided difficult to organise a wedding, but thanks to Nico and her team, it certainly wasn't. They are simply amazing, constantly on hand to help throughout the run up and on the big day itself to ensure everything runs like clockwork.
  
  After a ceremony on the lawn facing the beautiful backdrop of the gardens and the house, we ducked inside just as it started to rain to listen to our first band while canapés, photos and cocktails commenced. Nico's team then led the way across the walled garden to the beautiful Indian print Marquee, lit up across the lawn surrounded by fairy lights and bonfires where we continued the reception.
  
  The very best bit of Pencarrow– outside of the amazing setting and fab team is the fact that the party never has to end. After an amazing evening in the marquee, we picked our way through the glamorous campsite to the woodland nightcap bar where we danced away what was left of the night under the starts surrounded by our friends, before collapsing into our yurt. It sounds bohemian to say you camped the night of your wedding – we did but in reality, it couldn't not have been more lux!
  
  Everyone has commented on the beautiful setting and what a fun the wedding was, I know we are biased but we agree! I wish we could take all the credit but so much of it is down to the venue we chose and the team who helped us bring it to life. Thank you!

  Where do I start - Nico is a dream! Her vision for all the weddings at Pencarrow House is inspirational and yet her attitude and excitement to give you the most perfect, totally bespoke day is extraordinary. No idea was too much trouble, no ask too big. to say we pushed her and her team to her limits, is probably not an understatement. and yet the smile remained. Her knowledge of all the best local suppliers too is super useful - we went with all her recommendations and were thrilled. We had the most incredibly perfect wedding day; we lost count of how many of our guests told us this was the best wedding they had ever been to.
  
  Waking down the aisle to the arbour, whilst being heckled by peacocks(!), surrounded by the sounds of birds and bees, the ceremony at the arbour was magical. Then we held the reception up by the lake which we all absolutely loved and yet I'm sure was a logistical nightmare. Followed by dinner in the stunning Indian tent and dancing the night away in the woods for the after party, to wake up in a stunning bridal yurt, this venue truly has it all. ow - and going down the drive on your wedding day. it doesn't get more epic an arrival than that! A huge thank you to Nico and her team for making June 1st 2019 truly the best day of our lives.

  From the start, the venue and staff were perfect. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day really special, everyone was totally wowed by the venue and the glamping field looked absolutely magical. Being able to have our guests all together for the weekend was truly phenomenal. One day is never enough time to talk to everyone so this was perfect. We had a strong preference to bring our own eclectic mix of alcohol (!) and we really appreciated the flexibility and effort you put into allow that to happen. From everyone's arrival at the welcome drinks outside the main house to moving guests over to the marque, and the setup of the late night bar, every element and detail was taken care of for us and it really made it a stress-free and truly incredible experience. A huge thank you to you Nico and Jasmine, and to your team Jimmy and Daisy, and anyone else who was putting in the hard work behind the scenes. We will always be very grateful to you and to Pencarrow for helping us have such a wonderful, perfect wedding day at such a unique and outstanding venue.

  We looked at SO MANY venues before we finally found Pencarrow, and instantly knew it was the place to bring our festival wedding vision to life. Even in the depths of winter when we first visited, Nico painted a wonderful picture for us, and we knew that she and her team understood what we wanted and would help us bring it to life. In the end we had to wait a LONG time for this to come to pass, as Covid delayed our wedding by 2 years. Throughout that process Nico and Jasmine held our hands, reassured us at every turn, and never wavered in their support of us, and helping us find not one, not two, but THREE new dates. It was worth the wait. Our wedding day surpassed every expectation we had, and all our guests (no exaggeration) said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. And we have all been to a lot of weddings at this point! The scale of Pencarrow means that it feels like you're getting three wedding venues in one - from the beautiful ceremony in front of the wisteria laden arbour, to the gardens in front of the house where we had champagne and canapes, and then we hopped into our authentic Indian tuktuk to drive over to the walled gardens where the marquee waited for the rest of the night. And that's not even including the Nightcap bar in the woods where we partied with our silent disco headsets until 4am. We had festival flags lining the way to our tent, we had a children's tent set up for the little ones which was absolutely gorgeous. We had a pizza truck the night before for our camping guests - sorry GLAMPING - very much glamping, particularly for the bride and groom in our beautiful yurt.
  
  I cannot say enough about how much we loved our venue, and the pride we felt at how many of our guests praised it for how beautiful it was, and its originality - we were allowed to totally put our stamp on the whole day, and Nico and Jasmine worked tirelessly to help us bring it to life. Thank you so much to the team at Pencarrow for truly the best day of our life.
  
  
  When the day finally came, everything went without a hitch and we enjoyed a beautiful ceremony by the arch, a reception in front of the house, a meal in the cafe courtyard and a little party in the cafe. It was great to have Nico and her team there to make sure things (and people) were in the right place at the right time. Everything was exactly how we imagined it to be and we have had so many nice comments from guests. We are so glad that we finally had our day, and that we chose Pencarrow all those years ago for our wedding. Thank you Nico and your team, it's been such a journey that we've been on together!

  We booked our wedding at Pencarrow three years ago, back in a time before Covid was a thing and the idea of your wedding being postponed was virtually unthinkable. Walking around that first time we visited, we were amazed by the beauty of the grounds and the house, and the idea that it would all be for us and our guests on the day. Nico was friendly and welcoming, and we loved how flexible she was to accommodate exactly what we envisaged for our wedding - something we had found was lacking at other venues we'd visited. We loved the combination of the beautiful house with the festival-like marquee and night cap bar, offering both a formal setting for the ceremony and an informal one for the reception and party.
  
  Of course Covid then hit, and Nico and her staff supported us through one, and then two postponements. Just a few months before our third date, we had a major rethink of our plans and decided to scale down our ceremony to a small 35 person event (we had got legally married in the interim). None of this was ever a problem for Nico and her team, who remained so friendly and understanding throughout (I'm sure they, like everyone in events, had had a tough couple of years, and it would have been easy for them to make the postponements and changes difficult for us).

  We had the best day of our lives on our wedding day at Pencarrow! The sun shone, the garden was in full bloom and the venue looked absolutely incredible. Our guests commented on how amazing our venue was, with so many different locations for guests to enjoy throughout the day. After many postponements, we finally had our dream day and it was worth the wait! Thank you Pencarrow team.
