Wedding Testimonials

Absolute perfection.

Tristan and I knew we wanted to get married on the Cornish Coast. We saw six venues and none of them came close to the Carbis Bay Estate.

From the moment we pulled into the car park we were blown away. Next we were met by the wonderful Sofia, who demonstrated that the stunning views, venues and rooms were matched with equally as impressive service. Throughout the whole process we continued to be comforted by the warmth and professionalism of the events team; Ria, Abi, Phoebe and Sofia. On our Wedding weekend itself and from contact since, they all showed genuine care and went above and beyond to make it exceptional. We could not be more grateful to you all.

The rest of the staff at the estate were also fantastic and they really elevated our experience and our guests' experience. Special mention to the kitchen and bar team because the food, wine and cocktails are incredible. This being such an important element of our wedding, we were amazed by the quantity and quality.

It's hard to put into words how highly we'd recommend the Carbis Bay Estate and we're already missing it terribly. It has our hearts!

Wow, what a venue! From the moment we saw the view at Carbis Bay, we knew it was the perfect place for our beach-feel wedding. The wedding team instantly put us at ease and were so open to our ideas—even the crazy ones! They were genuinely excited to help us make our dreams a reality.

The planning and organization on our wedding day were absolutely top-notch. The food was amazing, and the bar staff kept our guests perfectly "fuelled" throughout the celebration! Honestly, the day couldn’t have been more perfect, despite the rain. The team was so quick to assist everyone with umbrellas and helped move everything inside seamlessly. The whole day was a breeze, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Thank you all so much for your help! We're already looking forward to coming back and staying for our anniversary. Here’s to many more beautiful memories at Carbis Bay!

Our perfect wedding.

Our wedding at Carbis Bay Beach Club was nothing short of exceptional from beginning to end.

The stunning location, with its breathtaking views of the beach and bay, set the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The events team’s attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring everything was perfect and dream-like.

The food was outstanding, and the entertainment organized by your team—including the “Singing Waiters” and the “Take a Chance on Us” Abba tribute band—made for an unforgettable party and celebration of our special day.

A heartfelt thank you to Ria, Abi, Sofia, Phoebe and the entire team at Carbis Bay Hotel. You created the perfect wedding day for us, and we will cherish these memories for a lifetime!

Gorgeous place and staff.

This is the most beautiful place to get married at in Cornwall! Myself and Rob got married in the Godrevy room on the 01/07/2025.
From the start Abi, Ria, Sofia & Phoebe were phenomenal, they answered any questions/queries quickly and were just as excited about our wedding as us whenever we spoke to them. I had the pleasure of meeting Abi for our first look around and I instantly felt at ease/like I knew her for years! Our day was made so special by the incredible staff that made it. I didn’t catch their names but all our guests were blown away by them. We were honestly treated like royalty. The food is absolutely gorgeous and we were so lucky to have a taster day last year, we loved it!!
We had the most beautiful day afterwards spending time just the two of us and making full use of the spa. It was incredible and so relaxing. We had the most amazing intimate day with those closest to us and can’t recommend this place enough, yes it’s gorgeous there but the staff are what make it.
Thank you.

The day we will always remember.

From the moment we met with Sofia from the events team we were confident we had chosen a great venue and team to be part of our Wedding day.We booked 14 months in advance and during this time we visited Carbis a few times to meet vendors have pre wedding dates/weekends to soak up the vibe. Each time we usually met one of the events team who were always fully briefed and invested in our day. Ria, Abi, Phoebe and Sofia were nothing short than delightful to deal with and nothing was too much trouble.

Carbis bay also have an outstanding supply list for recommendations who we also cannot rate high enough. Victoria Walker - Photography, Emily Rose Events, Yazzy - amazing musician and all round shining star, Wedding flowers in Cornwall - Anna Sawle.

Communications were clear smooth and efficient. We had the most perfect day and our guests were also overwhelmed…a special mention to the catering teams who prepared our canapés, meals and snacks during the day these were faultless.

We could not recommend Carbis Bay more highly the whole team from reception/servers in all the eateries/spa were a delight to deal with us.Special thanks to Abi and Phoebe for answering every text on the day, the detail and thought for things we may have overlooked and the never ending smiles.

Dream Wedding - Dream Hotel & Staff.

Absolutely unbelievable Wedding at Carbis Bay Estate. From the initial enquiry right through to the day itself! Just first class! Most beautiful setting. Perfect food, Perfect facilities. Dream location. Great value for money. Sofia & Nicole always went the extra mile to make this the perfect day for us always with a "can do" attitude. First Class all the way! Thank you! Don't hesitate to book your perfect wedding at Carbis Bay Estate!

I’m still lost for words… But here goes!

I’m going to start by listing a few messages we’ve received from our wedding guests for a start:

- “I can’t get over how perfect the day was in every way, we’ve never experienced anything like this in our life”

- “This was my first ever wedding I’ve attended, and you’ve set the bar too high”

- “Best wedding I’ve ever been to, and that includes my own!” (This one made us laugh)

- “We were honoured to be part of such a special day, we’ve made memories for life”

…Every single one of our guests said the same or similar, and I only have the incredible Carbis Bay team to thank from the bottom of my heart.

You turned our dreams into a reality… in fact you created something better than we ever imagined. Even when things went wrong leading up to the wedding with a last minute change in food vendor, you somehow managed to take control of the situation and communicate with us thoroughly and quickly, which led you to turning a problem into a solution that was somehow even better than what we had originally planned. Making things even more special than we could have ever imagined. Above and beyond is an understatement. Absolutely everything; from the food, to the service, to the organisation of guests on the day, was more than perfect in every way.

Truly blown away, I want to say a special thank you to Nicole and Ria, my fairy god mothers, for your attention to detail, care, and at times even friendship. You really did smash it. I know how much effort you put into it all, it really shows. And doesn’t go unnoticed. You’ve allowed us to have the best day of our lives so far, and even some of our guests feel the same, now isn’t that special. If you are planning a wedding and are considering Carbis Bay Estate for your wedding venue, just do it, you will not have a single regret I can promise you.

All my love, Maria Holmes
