Your Dream Intimate Wedding at Lamorran Gardens
If you’re envisioning a romantic, intimate wedding surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Lamorran Gardens on the Roseland Peninsula is a perfect choice. This exclusive, subtropical garden blends Italian-inspired design with breathtaking views over St Mawes Bay and the iconic St Anthony's Headland lighthouse. With its terraced layout and winding paths, the gardens offer a private, enchanting setting that feels like your own secret world. Because it’s a private home, only a handful of weddings take place here each year—ensuring your day feels truly special and personal.
Beautiful Ceremony Spaces with Spectacular Views
Lamorran Gardens is licensed for civil ceremonies and offers several charming spots to say your vows. The standout location is The Cupola, a stone temple with a wrought iron dome that perfectly frames the sea behind you. Inside, it comfortably fits the couple, registrars, and about 8 close family members, with room for another 20-25 guests just outside. If the weather isn’t on your side, you can choose between a quaint terrace gazebo or the elegant drawing room inside the main house—both licensed and equally lovely.
Stunning Gardens for Timeless Wedding Photos
After your ceremony, you and your guests have three hours to explore the four-acre gardens and capture unforgettable photos. The grounds are filled with rare and exotic plants, including hundreds of palms and tree ferns that create a Mediterranean vibe. Picture your portraits by the Venetian Bridge, beside the Japanese Koi Pond, or on mossy, secluded benches. Every path leads to spectacular ocean views, while vibrant camellias, azaleas, and rhododendrons add classic Cornish charm to your wedding album.
