Eden Project Full Description
Do you dream of spending your wedding celebrations in the Med? Would you like an outdoor style wedding ceremony but are naturally concerned about the unpredictability of the British weather? Here at the Eden Project we offer alfresco style backdrops without the worry of rain dampening the celebrations. Complete wedding celebrations can take place all under one roof, from the 'I do' to the 'farewell' at the end of the night. With exclusive use options of our biomes available from 4.30pm until 1.00am. With the assistance of our experienced in-house team of wedding planners, couples have the opportunity to create a bespoke plan for their wedding day, to ensure your day is as unique as you! With opportunities such as cocktails in the Rainforest and tying the knot in the Citrus Grove, a whole new world of weddings awaits you at the Eden Project. With a team of experienced wedding planners and a culinary team with a wealth of international cuisine knowledge, your wedding day will truly be unforgettable. Wedding Venue Open Day: On Sunday 24 March, we will be hosting a wedding venue open day, which will give you the opportunity to view the venue dressed for a wedding, meet some of the suppliers that can help make your vision a reality and taste some dishes from our sample menus. Between 4pm and 6pm we are offering couples the opportunity to experience the Mediterranean biome exclusively, as dusk begins to settle and the stars begin to appear on the biome roof. Book in for a 45 minute tour with one of our team by emailing [email protected] Enquire for late availability 'all inclusive packages'.

Amazing day even with covid restrictions

We cannot thank Emma enough for our amazing wedding! Last minute covid rule changes meant our wedding had to be altered last minute to abide by the rules. This was so stressful but Emma went above and beyond to make sure our day was still magical. The weather did not play ball, but eden means you get the feel of an outdoor wedding no matter the weather! The food was perfect, and the setting was out of this world. Friends and family still talk about our wedding and how beautiful it was to this day!

A well organised and relaxed day

The team at Eden were great from the get go, let us discuss what vision we had and the kind of day that we wanted. They had lots of suggestions too and used their experience of the venue and past events to really help us get an idea of what works well, along with some great recommendations for vendors. Communication was excellent and we always had a response within a day with any queries that we had and all invoices where clear and simple to understand. We were able to go in the day before to drop off our decorations etc. Which were kept secure overnight. I even left a dress with them which I would be changing into for the evening - Emma made sure it was hung up and ready for me when needed. They set up the tables perfectly and my vision of how I wanted it to look was executed on point. Guest still mention to us how delicious the food was - we had a hog roast with salads and wedges, a nice casual dinner but extremely well executed and the best wedges I've ever had!! On the day the staff were brilliant and really thought of every detail. We had a ceremony elsewhere and arrived at Eden for our reception, on arrival me and the groom had a car waiting for us to take us down to the biome (so we didn't have to walk through the ground to get there) this also meant we had some extra alone time in the biome while we waited for the rest of the guests to wonder down the path. I could plug my phone in and had a playlist ready to go for the welcome drinks and during dinner time. After dinner we all headed over to the clearing where the DJ was set up and ready to go into the night - there was a bar set up right by the dance floor which was very convinient! At the end of the night there was a mini bus running to take guests back up to the car parks. Overall my experience was exceptional and I would 100% do it again and definitely recommend to any bride to be.

Our happy place

I don’t even think I can put into words how special our day was to us. From start to finish it was amazing; everything we dreamed of and more. We originally should have got married in 2021 but with Covid restrictions in place we decided to move it to 2022 and we were so glad we did. our family and friends (all 80 of them) came all the way from the north west of England to watch us get married at we call our happy place Cornwall. We told our friends and family from early on we wanted to get married here after watching jack Johnson in concert at Eden in 2018, we were so lucky that our friends and family came all that way for us and we’ve had nothing but great responses and even family members and friends now saying Cornwall is their happy place too. I can’t thank Emma enough, constant emails and phone calls going through everything. I was anxious as I couldn’t picture what it was going to look like and oh my goodness was it everything I wanted, so thank you Emma.

Magical Wedding of Dreams!

Emma and the team at the Eden Project made it so so easy to plan a wedding and everything was absolutely perfect and I didn't feel stressed or like I had to worry about anything because of how helpful the team were. The food served was incredible and people still talk to me about the ribs falling off the bone. The feeling of walking along that aisle surrounded by the Mediterranean dome is something I'll cherish forever. And the way the dome lights up at night was like being transported to anothe

Eden is just exceptional

Everything about Eden is exceptional, from the location, to the venue and the team that work there. It is a pleasure to work at the Eden Project and to be a small part of the team that brings a couples dreams to reality. Whether you dream of getting married surround by plants from the med, or in the gallery over looking the iconic biomes, I can not recommend enough

Beyond beautiful

We got married here in July 2017, we held the ceremony in the Gallery and had the meal and party in the Med Biome. It was utterly beautiful and everything we had hoped for. The venue and Emma especially were amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious and our guests left feeling like they had a really wonderful experience as well as witnessing a wedding. Can't recommend highly enough.

A truly unique incredible venue!

I've photographed a number of weddings at the Eden Project from small and intimate celebrations, to big parties and the Eden Project delivers every time! The setting is absolutely stunning in daylight and at night but the Eden project goes even further than that with incredible food, an amazing atmosphere and fantastic, attentive staff. Always a real joy to work here.

Like Greece but in Cornwall

Eden was the first and only wedding venue we looked at and there was no need to look anywhere else. From the moment we walked into the Med dome we knew that was the perfect place to get married. It has all the looks of a destination wedding but we knew all of our family and friends would be able to attend. From the first meeting the events staff were on top of everything we needed and made us feel relaxed that even though we didn't know what we were doing they definitely do!

Absolutely magical

We wanted our wedding to be an experience, and the Eden Project is definitely that! When I walked into the biome with my bridesmaids, we were taken away by the birds singing and piano playing. It was such a stunning venue, the biome is lit up by fairy lights and path lights which reflect onto the ceiling creating a star-like effect. All the guests absolutely LOVED it, and can’t stop raving about it. Honestly, we knew it was going to be magical but it far exceeded our expectations.

It was everything I hoped for

Our family travelled down from London & further so it became a holiday for people & the Eden had that WOW factor. It was so beautiful inside I didn't need to do much I terms of decoration. It gave a real relaxed but stunning wedding abroad vibe we wanted and we didn't need to worry about the weather! The Biome looked incredible at night with all with all the lights reflecting The venue were always helpful & friendly & the day went so smoothly I didn't have to worry at all & I'm an event producer
