Perfect

This hotel is absolutely breathtaking. The views are incredible and the staff are so lovely. We eloped here and our day could not have been more special. Kelsie was absolutely amazing and so attentive. The rooms are stunning! The food was incredible, the service was spectacular and the staff were absolutely wonderful. If we were to do it all over again, I wouldn’t want it to be anywhere else.

We have stayed here a number of times now and just got back from a weekend where we spent our wedding day there! What an amazing day! The sun was shining, the service was outstanding and the wedding went without a hitch! All the staff in the hotel are friendly and accommodating and I couldnt recommend the wedding planning service more! We fell in love with st Ives on our first stay at this hotel and will be back to celebrate our anniversary for years to come!

We were in a beautiful suite with amazing views and the spa is not to be missed! We would like to thank all the Events team and staff that played a part in making our day run smoothly they were all very helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay and wedding was perfect. A special Thank you to Frances who assisted us in organising and putting into place anything that we needed throughout our wedding planning experience.  This is a venue we would choose over and over again and would recommend to everyone! Perfect!

Leap Year Elopement wedding package 2024

We chose The Harbour Hotel for the location for our elopement wedding as it’s in our favourite part of the UK and what a location it has in St.Ives Kelsie and her team meticulously planned everything for our big day and also arranged for the sun to shine for our beach photos. Now if that isn’t dedication I don’t know what is!! The hotel itself is a fantastic place in a great location The spa and the massage we had as part of our package was great And the food in the hotel was really good too We actually couldn’t fault anything from start to finish We stayed for 3 nights and every single member of staff we had contact with had time for us and were all so friendly We would both highly recommend The Harbour Hotel St Ives not only for a wedding venue but also as a great hotel We shall definitely be returning every leap year to celebrate our leap year wedding anniversary

Our dream wedding because of this hotel

My husband and I were so lucky to find this gem in St Ives when we live in the south east. 90 guests travelled to the wedding, many visiting Cornwall for the first time, and many staying at the hotel for ease. Everyone said it was the best wedding they’d ever attended and that it was like being abroad! We were so lucky with a glorious and dry November wedding day but also I have seen the venue in a storm when we visited in feb 2022 and it is equally stunning. We cannot thank the incredible staff enough - especially Kelsie, who was exceptional at every moment of the day and in the many months leading up to the wedding. Do not hesitate to go for this venue - luxury luxury luxury (at affordable prices during the off peak months)!

Perfect wedding venue

Amazing! We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights at the end of September for our wedding, and it was perfect from start to finish. The wedding team Bliss, Kelsie and Hannah were incredibly helpful all the way through and made the day run so smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious with many guests saying it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had!. The location speaks for itself and made the best back drop to our special day…we cannot recommend this hotel more highly, the personalised Mr and Mrs mugs were also a lovely touch. Thank you ❤️

Spectacular wedding backdrop

Where do I start! Firstly I would like to thank the amazing events team that helped us along the way to organise our wedding at the hotel, girls you were truly amazing! So we originally booked pre covid for a 2020 wedding, but covid stopped us 3 times in the process! Nothing was too much trouble for these amazing girls to help rearrange dates, they continued to keep in touch from when we originally booked in 2018 right through to 2022 4 years of fantastic service. The team that looked after us on our wedding day were also brilliant again nothing was too much trouble for them if the kids wanted hot chocolate, the kids got hot chocolate! Super efficient! The food during our stay was bloody beautiful right from breakfast, our BBQ wedding reception and evening Buffett, there was so much food it was unbelievable, our wedding guest were full of compliments. Our rooms we had were absolutely on point, so clean and spacious. Amazing views of Porthminster beach, watching the sunset and sunrise on beautiful sunny days is priceless. I can’t tell you enough how gorgeous this hotel is, it was my dream to get married here and they made it happen and more! St Ives Harbour hotel will always hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to book a mini break here in the future! So yes I would highly recommend the harbour hotel it has everything and more to offer for holiday breaks and most definitely weddings is perfectly positioned in St Ives!!

Wedding Day

Thank you to the entire team at the St Ives Harbour Hotel for helping make our wedding day as perfect as it was. From initially booking our date, all the way through to organising details leading up to the date, to our wedding day; the team could not do more to ensure we had everything as we wished. A special thank you goes out to Bliss, Kelsey and Hannah (f&b manager) for their constant support and efforts to ensure everything ran as smoothly as it did. The staff here really went the extra mile to ensure that all our guests had a good time. The wedding breakfast meal was incredible. The food was fresh, well presented and so many of our guests have commented on the food being the best they'd ever had at a wedding. The bridal suite was absolutely perfect. We had the most relaxing stay after our wedding and all of the little 'extra touches' were very gratefully received. Thank you so, so much for everything. We had the best day and would 100% recommend this venue for any couples looking for the perfect place to get married in St Ives.

Our wedding day

Excellent service for our wedding and the planning for this up to two years in advance. Nothing was too much trouble for Bliss and Kelsie and the whole day was a great success. Thank you both. Hotel rooms are outstanding and the facilities are amazing. A great venue for your special day. The family and our friends stayed for two nights and all had an amazing time.

Exccellent venue for a wedding

The St Ives Harbour Hotel and Spa was an excellent choice for our wedding. The location is superb, just above Porthminster Beach and with views across the bay to Godrevy lighthouse. We thought the function rooms were ideal for our requirements and all our guests were very impressed with the quality of the food. The events team are extremely friendly, attentive and helpful and ensured our big day progressed without any hitch.
