Perched on the edge of its own Blue Flag beach overlooking the deep blue and turquoise waters of St Ives Bay, Carbis Bay Estate offers a dream destination wedding setting on Cornish shores. Set amidst a wooded valley and subtropical gardens, the 125-acre estate comprises a hotel, spa, pool, beach club, myriad accommodation options – and a choice of wedding venues, depending on the style of celebration you’re seeking.

 
With its floor-to-ceiling windows ushering in panoramic views across the sea, Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling is guaranteed to take your breath away. The renowned chef will serve an exceptional menu of seasonal delights with complementary wines to take the sensorial delights to another level.
