About Cornish Tipi Weddings

Hidden in the heart of the Cornish countryside near the scenic fishing village of Port Isaac, Cornish Tipi Weddings is a bohemian wedding venue in the far southwest of the UK. In this woodland wonderland, couples can exchange vows and have a magical celebration to remember. They're free to create a day built around their wishes and make their dream wedding or elopement a reality. Facilities and Capacity Cornish Tipi Weddings is a licensed wedding venue, so couples can spend their entire day in its picturesque surroundings. Say your vows in the wedding pavilion in front of up to 300 guests while foxgloves, wild roses, and a stream create a charming backdrop. Roll up the walls of the pavilion to let in the sunlight and sounds of the tranquil countryside. You can also hold a legal service by the beautiful private lake, the perfect backdrop for a magical and enchanting wedding. If you have already tied the knot and wish to renew your vows or are looking for something more informal, then our beautiful venue with 20 acres of woodland could not be more perfect. After your service, why not wander through the woodlands or down to the lake for whimsical wedding photos? You can hang lanterns, bunting, photographs or flowers, and there's even a sweet rowing boat. The venue's biggest tipi, the Grand Lodge, sits across from the ceremony pavilion. This area is perfect for a celebratory toast and cocktail reception. Wedding breakfasts can be held in the marquee meadow, which will seat up to 300 dining guests. The lawns around this marquee are perfect for letting younger guests run and play. The newlyweds can end the night beneath the stars as they make memories to last a lifetime. Couples and their guests can stay on-site overnight in the provided tipis, adding a festival vibe to any event. Services Offered The team at Cornish Tipi will work alongside you as you plan your big day. The in-house wedding coordinators will be on hand to provide support and top tips from the moment you book until the day itself, when the venue manager will look after you throughout the day. Everyone is catered for, from the youngest guest to the older family members, whatever you may need. Cornish Tipi Weddings is a gorgeously rustic festival-style wedding venue in St. Minver, Cornwall.

Honestly, the perfect venue for our festival-style, beachy-themed wedding! The surroundings are absolutely stunning—so peaceful, with such a lovely atmosphere. There was plenty of space for all our guests, and it was even better that everyone could camp. The tipis were so cute and made for the best weekend. So many of our guests complimented the setting, and being able to swim in the lake was such a highlight too! We’d always wanted a relaxed, chilled wedding, and we said we wouldn’t stress too much about decorating because the venue is such a beautiful blank canvas on its own—and we were right. The staff were amazing from the day before the wedding right through to the day itself. Everyone was so helpful, friendly, and on hand whenever we needed anything. We honestly couldn’t have

Yes, it’s absolutely like the fairytale photos. Lizzie, Kim & the team go above and beyond for you to ensure you have the best day. We were hit with some pretty wet and windy weather, meaning we had to change our whole ceremony set up about an hour before it was due to begin. They made it all happen so quickly and the guests didn’t know any different. Everyone that works there are so lovely and hard working

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

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 exci

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

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",

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 o

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

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 wedding absolutely perfect. Not was it the perfect location, with many scenic backdrops but the staff really couldnt do enough to help. Kim was absolutely amazing not only as a wedding coordinator but also a fantastic, super friendly photographer and our pictures were out of this world. John and the lads were also super helpful, friendly and nothing was too much of an ask. We even had a delay on our en

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 fi

We spent years dreaming of a quiet, intimate wedding surrounded by nature and Cornish Tipi Weddings was perfect. Walking down the steps to the sound of birdsong felt like a fairytail. We married on the jetty on a sunny day and everything was stunningly beautiiful. We celebrated after the ceremony in the pavilion, and as there were only 15 of us in total, ate our meal in their too. We used the suppliers recommended by CTW, who were all wonderful, which meant we had our entire wedding (minus outfits) booked in less than a week. The team at CTW handled most of the arrangements for us, it was all unbelievably easy for us. We couldnt have hoped for a more relaxed, joyous and

We just wanted to write to tell you how amazing you all are! Thank you SO MUCH for hosting our wedding, you were absolutely brilliant. You made everything seem so effortless, and even calmed us down before the ceremony (not an easy job to take on!). You really went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful. Our guests were amazed with the venue, the guests that stayed loved the tipis, and I think they converted the non campers into campers! The lake was a hit with everyone too. Our photos are beautiful and so perfect in the beautiful scenery of the venue - the lake, woodland, tipis and the rustic marquee.
