Intimate Weddings at Trereife in 2017
There’s no doubt about it, smaller weddings are definitely on the up! The 2017 ‘Wedding Trend Report’ by Cocoweddingvenues.co.uk suggests that the growing pressure and stress of organising a big event, not to mention the financial burden, has resulted in many couples opting for an ‘elopement wedding’ . They expect the trend to continue into 2018 and beyond. A concurrent trend reported by The Mail to move away from ‘generic hotel-package’ weddings has become a boon for private estates and unique venues.
Certainly at Trereife, while the enquiries have been increasing in general, we’ve noticed a definite growth in enquiries from couples asking to use our beautifully proportioned drawing room for a smaller wedding. We’ve even hosted weddings with just the couple and us as witnesses! We can however accommodate up to 40 for a seated meal after the ceremony, and more for a more informal buffet. Our romantic cobbled courtyard has even been used to create an informal ‘street party’ themed wedding to great effect.
One our main advantages is our location in Cornwall, just outside Penzance, a town which was picked in the ’52 places to go in 2017′ by The New York Times . Another benefit of a wedding at Trereife is our ability to deliver a ‘country and coast’ wedding. The distant views over Mounts Bay from our formal gardens is quite unusual for a manor house wedding in Cornwall.
