When it comes to the daunting task of wedding planning, we know how easy it is to suddenly feel completely overwhelmed, particularly if you’re planning a multi-day celebration or a huge extravagant wedding over an entire weekend. Whilst we can happily accommodate those options here at Kilminorth, we’ve created a brand new one-day wedding experience, for those couples looking for a more streamlined and stress-free alternative. 

From simplified timelines to reduced expenses, one-day weddings allow you to focus on the love you share and the joy of celebrating with your closest family and friends. This is your time to fully immerse yourself in the moment, creating beautiful lasting memories without added pressure. 

There is a growing trend for having a more simplified, one-day wedding, marking a significant shift in wedding culture. This reflects a desire among couples to pare back the wedding planning process in order to prioritise meaningful experiences over extravagant events. With busy schedules and financial considerations in mind, many are opting for simplified, curated events that focus on quality over quantity. Couples are seeking to create intimate gatherings with their nearest and dearest, generating a closeness and warmth between two joining families.

At Kilminorth, our historic grounds are home to a beautiful set of intimate spaces, perfect for a private getaway and wedding celebration. Our one-day wedding experience includes the use of our facilities from 11am on your wedding day and can accommodate up to 250 guests. It also includes:

A choice of one of our beautiful ceremony spaces: 

Chy Hos Altar

This space is a firm favourite with our guests, and a great spot for the moment you say “I Do”. The aisle leading up to the stone-walled paddock makes for a beautiful entrance way really is picturesque.

Wedding Marquee

Our clear top marquee is designed to host up to 250 guests, providing a stunning setting for either your ceremony or evening reception. If you envision exchanging vows indoors while still being surrounded by nature, this option may be the ideal choice for you.

Wild Meadow

To fully embrace nature’s beauty, our Wild Meadow offers an idyllic location. With capacity for up to 250 guests, we can create a romantic aisle and seating for your ceremony overlooking the Cornish landscape. Alternatively, immerse yourself in bohemian style with an evening banquet amidst the wildflowers, creating an enchanting atmosphere for your celebration. 

This option also includes access to our Marquee and Wild Meadow for your private reception. We also will provide a dedicated, experienced wedding planner to help curate your day in beautiful harmony with your wedding dreams, along with two support staff on the day. Our commercial kitchen will be utilised for our in-house catering team, and your hire also includes a complete bar service. Your guests will also be able to park on-site, with ample free parking available.

There are several benefits to organising a one-day wedding: 

   – Less stress, more enjoyment

With fewer elements to organise and a simpler timeline, there’s less room for overwhelm and anxiety. Instead of juggling multiple suppliers and a series of events, you can concentrate on making the most of your day and curate the perfect private wedding. 

   – Cost-effectiveness

Hosting a one-day wedding can be more budget-friendly as it reduces expenses. By condensing the wedding into one perfect day, you can allocate your budget more efficiently, potentially saving money.. Additionally, if you’re a local resident, you might find that there’s no need to reserve the venue for multiple days to fulfil your wedding vision, or to factor in things such as accommodation. 

   – Intimacy and focus

Having a smaller, more intimate wedding as a one-day celebration allows you to focus on meaningful connections with your closest family and friends. It creates a cosy atmosphere where every guest feels included, creating special moments together throughout the ceremony and private reception dinner. 

Choosing Kilminorth as your one-day wedding venue grants you the freedom to create your perfect day without the worry of a huge to-do list and a string of people to coordinate. By curating your day-long celebration with our dedicated team, you can be sure to craft a personalised, intimate event that feels cosy, romantic and brings two families closer together.
