Trumpet Blowing
Dear Cornish Tipi Weddings,
Katie & Tom September 7th
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! I wish I could pictures to this review but I'll add them to my hitched review
Thank you so much again

The perfect haven for our little DIY wedding! The staff were incredible at offering help wherever they could and were ingenious with some of their solutions to help make us and our guests comfortable. Couldn’t have imagined a more lovely day and the weather held out for us too!! Can’t wait to come back for our anniversaries ❤️ Bonus that there was no wifi which really made everyone enjoy the moment!

From the moment we met Kim to walk around Cornish Tipis, we knew it was the venue for us. It is just beautiful and all of the staff so kind and helpful. The two years waiting for our big day (or small day, as there was only 14 of us!) flew by and the communication and advice from the Weddings team throughout was spot on. We had a truly wonderful and magical day, despite the rain, and the staff were so helpful when we changed our evening plans. May is such a special time at Cornish Tipis, with the luscious green trees and ferns and hot pink wild flowers. Cannot wait to visit for our anniversaries.
Terri & Jon
We would highly recommend CTW!
Natalie & Rupert
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, chill and happy!
CTW communicated really great through out our planning months. We all definitely be going back for future anniversaries.
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 anything we needed.
Hannah Holcombe
We truly, truly couldn’t have had a more perfect day. Thank you so much to everyone.
We almost have no words!!!!

We got married last Saturday (29th June) at Cornish Tipis - and just WOW! Where to begin!!!
The staff were INCREDIBLE - so so friendly, warm, lovely and welcoming. They were so organised on the day, and thought of every little detail. We had so many comments on how "chilled" we were as a couple - and we have to say, this is all because of the amazing staff on hand on the day. Everything went so smoothly, and if we ever had a last minute "Oh gosh, did we think of this??", you bet they were one step ahead! Everyone was super chilled out as well which suited the vibe of our wedding perfectly, nothing felt like a stress at all.
The venue itself is super unique and just breathtakingly beautiful! We invited guests to join us at the onsite café for pizza and drinks the night before (something which we would definitely recommend) and enjoying a beer surrounded by loved ones as the sun set and the fairy lights turned was such a special way to start the weekend. On the day, peacocks and bunny rabbits roam the grounds (are you kidding, so cool!!), and the forest was such a luscious green. We chose to have our ceremony by the lake (again, would definitely recommend), and it was so special as a bride being able to enter the ceremony by boat with my parents. So many guests said that they had never seen anything like it before - and were unlikely to go to a wedding like this again. We also rowed away on the "Just Married" boat, which again just felt so special and made for the coolest photos!
The rest of the day was just spectacular - we partied into the night, then a few of us stayed up toasting marshmallows and drinking wine by the fire pit before retiring to our tipis. We swam off our hangovers in the lake the next morning, along with a coffee and breakfast roll from the café There are just no words to describe this venue and all of its loveliness. It exceeded our expectations completely, and we just wish we could relive this day again and again!
Let this be your sign to stop searching for venues - as you cannot possibly find a better one that Cornish Tipis! THANK YOU ALL for truly the best day of our lives!
Wow! What can I say apart from thank you!!! Thank you for your support all the way through with my million questions, thank you for showing us around beforehand and THANK YOU for the amazing support and organisation on the day. A special shout out to Kim who was just brilliant- everyone was so friendly and helpful in making our wedding day a truly wonderful day to remember. Such a beautiful, unique site which was adored by everyone present. I wish we could do it all over again!

Where to start. We decided to book our wedding in April for July so we had ALOT to do. The team there were faultless Kim is outstanding she helped and advised so much! We were attemping to do all of it oursleves which at first worried the venue cause they want to ensure everything is perfect. But we all worked together and made something perfect! Letting us access the marquee early to set up to help. Now onto the lads! John, Will & Tom. I wouldnt of got the day i wanted without them i cannot place value on what these guys do enough. Wedding with waiters and waitresses in uniform dont have anything on these legends in rain macs boots and caps!! they are everywhere and make so much happen in the background an so attentive in delivering everything you need. They are a great laugh too!
Callum & Cheryl Taylor
I dont want to forget the 2 casual staff that came to work for us in the afternoon and night time they were brilliant serving our food and drink they were very professional and efficient definitely trust in them to do what you need. We stayed for 2 weeks in our tent with kids so got to know everyone there and it is a truly remarkable venue like no other the lake alone is a selling point (Defo dont skimp on having lake ceremony).
From the bottom of our hearts i cannot thank the guys there enough by the end of our 2 weeks we truly felt like family and we will visit any time we are around just to say hello. I cant wait to go back and renew our vows in future as it holds such a special place in our hearts. Keep doing what your doing your smashing it!
Kim,
Easily the best photographer ive ever come across, excels above any expectations we had. captures every angle perfectly. what better to have as a photographer than someone who knows every angle of the venue!
THANKYOU.
We had the most amazing wedding we could have ever hoped for. 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, the wonderful on site food, and the importance of sustainability. We had every weather on the day but even pouring rain didn't cause any concern and we really appreciated the staff rushing to hand out umbrellas in the ceremony before luckily the sun reappeared. All our guests had an incredible time and so did we. We can't wait to come back for a visit.
Imogen and Ollie
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for making 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 end on the wedding day and all the staff at the venue were super understanding and helped smoothly change the order of the day around to suit us.
Kaylie & Jake
We had the most fantastic day, a really wonderful experience where we felt our festival vision had come to life! The venue is so beautiful and there were so many comments from our guests about the atmosphere at the ceremony area in the natural environment. This venue is also fantastic for kids (our little girl loved it!).
Maja Clark
The staff were outstanding on the lead up to the wedding and the day itself, always available to help us but still giving us the space to do our own thing. Kim was a fantastic photographer, her inside knowledge meant we felt really at ease during the photographs.
Special thanks to Kim, Phoebe and Lizzie for all of the information and support through the planning stages. We can't wait to come back on our anniversaries and stay!
We had the most beautiful wedding day! The staff were incredible and so helpful. Thank you for making our day so special.

Cornish tipis is the perfect venue for anyone who wants a truly magical outdoor wedding. It is such a beautiful setting and there’s a lovely feel to the place. The staff are welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. They were always on hand to answer queries and helped us to organise a wedding that went smoothly whilst feeling very relaxed, even with a bit of rain. We loved every minute!
The Gastropod which is the on-site cafe did our catering and they did not disappoint, we had loads of compliments on the food and the service. It was just delicious.
Thank you for helping us create the wedding of our dreams. Bex and Harry
We had the most magical wedding weekend at Cornish Tipi Weddings!!
Sarah & Robin
Over years of planning and three postponed wedding dates, we made it through the pandemic and celebrated in the best way possible. The team were so kind, supportive and helpful throughout the whole process and made sure we had a brilliant day. They embraced our kooky and colourful nature and helped us coordinate an epic wedding day.
It was definitely worth the wait and our guests absolutely adored the venue as much as we do. The Top Village Field was packed full with our camping guests and there were others dotted around in private pitches too. It was fab having that extra time with them before and after the day. And safe to say we all felt more refreshed after a hangover swim in the lake on Sunday morning!
We will definitely be back for anniversaries in the future!
We had the best day of our lives at Cornish Tipis. It was the best decision we could have made picking this magical spot to get married and we wouldn't have changed a thing! It has been a pleasure working with your wonderful team to overcome postponing, adapting to restrictions and then keeping us dry through torrential downpours! Thank you so much for making our dreams come true.
Rosie & Arthur
We can't recommend your site and the team that make it all happen enough.
We just want to say a massive thank you for helping us to have the wedding we wished for.
Katy Smith-Brady
From day one, the team were so helpful with their advice and knowledge and nothing was too much trouble.
The venue is absolutely beautiful, it’s impossible not to fall in love with it when you see it. We knew from day one that this was this only place where we could imagine ourselves getting married.
Thank you for everything on the day as well especially blowing up our air bed and driving us down to our Tipi and for just generally being lovely people to have around on our day. We will never forget it, hopefully see you soon. We will be back for our first year anniversary. Katy & Scott.
The ceremony took place in a clearing in the woods. Guests sat on hay bales and sipped champagne...The band was fantastic, the company even better and we finished it off sleeping in a tipi and waking to a fantastic day of fishing and swimming in the lake.
Jon & Evey
I just wanted to email to say thank you for helping with the booking for the weekend we spent in the Tipis for my sisters hen do back in May which was so much fun. It is a lovely site and despite the thunder and rain it looked splendid in the bursts of sunshine with the bluebells all out and much fun was had by all. My sister still talks wistfully about the three dips she took in the lake and the whole relaxing back to nature Tipi experience which was just what she was after and has been talking about wanting a return visit with her husband towards the end of the summer
Patsy Temple - Hen Party Organiser
It was truly a ‘once in a lifetime’ day which I am sure will stay in their memory for ever – what more could the parents of the bride ask for?
