About
Setting

Boconnion spans a private estate of unspoiled woodlands, meadows, and gardens, creating endless opportunities for your ceremony and celebrations. Every corner of Boconnion offers a picturesque backdrop, from sweeping meadows to enchanting woodlands, ensuring your wedding day looks as incredible as it feels.

The estate is not just a wedding venue but a place for guests to relax and enjoy the entire weekend. A heated swimming pool, tennis court, and wood-fired hot tubs offer entertainment and relaxation for all. The experienced wedding planner, Caroline Griffiths, is available to assist with every detail, drawing on an extensive network of trusted suppliers to create a seamless experience.

Ceremony

There are several options for exchanging vows. The Barn, with its rustic charm and historic details, provides a character-filled setting for a heartfelt ceremony. For those who prefer the outdoors, the estate offers six acres of lawns and three terraces, ideal for saying ‘I do’ under open skies. Couples may also choose from the romantic orchard, the wildflower meadow, or the elegant gardens.

For those seeking a traditional church wedding, the nearby 18th-century St. Helena Church is available, with Boconnion hosting the celebrations afterwards. Celebrant ceremonies are welcome; however, the venue does not hold a licence for civil ceremonies.

Reception

The Barn is at the heart of Boconnion’s celebrations, combining original features with modern touches. Designed by the estate’s owner, Rob, it retains its traditional character while offering a well-equipped space for up to 90 seated guests and 150 evening guests over two floors. A handcrafted oak bar made from a fallen estate tree serves as a centrepiece.

The first floor is filled with natural light from a floor-to-ceiling window, while a wood burner ensures warmth. The lower floor, with its exposed stone walls and rustic beams, provides an intimate setting for a wedding breakfast. Larger receptions can be hosted outdoors, with marquees or tipis overlooking the Camel Valley, accommodating up to 250 guests.

Accommodation

Up to 37 guests can stay across three restored properties, each within walking distance of the events barn.

  • The Manor House sleeps 17 and features a heated swimming pool, tennis court, grand piano, and Sonos sound system.
  • The Barton accommodates 12 and offers rural charm, including a wood-fired hot tub, table tennis, and an open-sided barn for al fresco dining.
  • The Stables sleeps eight and is styled with modern romantic touches, including a vintage Harrods sleigh bed and a copper bath. A private walled garden provides a secluded spot for evening dining under the stars.

There is space for glamping or camping, and additional accommodation is available nearby. All three properties are available for a minimum two-night stay.

Accessible facilities are available, including discreetly tucked-away restrooms and a shower.

Food & Drink

Boconnion works exclusively with 12 trusted local caterers, offering a variety of cuisines and price points. A professional kitchen is available on-site.

The venue provides a fully stocked and licensed bar, open from 4pm to 11:30pm on arrival day and from 10 am to midnight on the wedding day. A pop-up bar can be set up by the pool, and drinks include local wines and beers. Prices are comparable to local pubs, with the option to run a pay bar or tab.

Getting There
  • The nearest station, Bodmin Parkway, is served by Great Western Railway. A local bus (BlueFlash 11A) connects the station with Bodmin town, taking approximately 10 minutes.
  • Newquay Airport offers daily flights to and from London.
  • Check-in is from 4pm, with check-out by 11am.

Honestly, it is hard to put into words how grateful we are for all your help in making our day magical. The day surpassed our expectations (which we didn’t think was possible!) Thank you so much for your inspired idea for the ceremony. It was so special, and everyone loved it. Every single part you helped run smoothly, and thank you for being so open to our crazy plans, haha! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it too. I could write an essay of how thankful we are, it really was the most perfect weekend. So, thank you so much again!

When I first saw Boconnion I was completely awestruck! It’s an absolute hidden gem. The beauty of the buildings as well as the breathtaking grounds and scenery make for a classy and luxurious wedding venue. Having seen countless wedding venues throughout the UK, this differs in one major way, it is completely customisable. There are endless combinations of how you can have your wedding thanks to the many buildings and grounds.

One big draw I find for couples picking venues is accommodation. Weddings are a great opportunity for friends and family to get together. No one enjoys having to find accommodation and deal with taxis late at night after weddings. Boconnion provides places to stay to avoid this hassle. Not only this, but the facilities are a touch of luxury with a hot tub, outdoor swimming pool and tennis court.

This truly is one of the finest wedding venues I’ve had the pleasure of photographing.

We had the absolute best weekend and can’t thank you enough for your support throughout the wedding. Everything was perfect, and Boconnion was an incredible location. Our friends and family couldn’t stop complimenting it. Caroline was amazing from start to finish, guiding us through decisions, connecting us with trusted suppliers, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. She was there for every detail, keeping us calm and making sure the day was flawless. The whole weekend was truly incredible!

I had the pleasure of visiting Boconnion recently as part of a photoshoot and what a delight it was. Situated at the end of a tree-lined drive, in an idyllic and secluded location, I came to the impressive, invitingly grand building, surrounded by an abundance of breathtaking country views. On exploring the grounds, there are many more delights – a beautiful house, wonderful outbuildings and the added luxuries of a swimming pool and tennis court.

Once inside, I was intrigued by every room, with special care being taken with everything, down to the finest detail, and the extraordinary bath in one of the many en-suites is truly an opulent statement.

The site is incredibly adaptable and will lend itself to many styles of wedding, from formal to festival, large to intimate, Bocconion’s exclusivity yet comfortable and welcoming feel make it such a wonderful venue.

Caroline was an incredible planner and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Thank you so much for all of your hard work in making our wedding weekend perfect! It was everything we could have dreamed of, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you. We are forever grateful for your help. We had the best time.

Driving up to the house it looks so beautiful and grand, but then as soon as you step inside it feels really homely and warm. At first, you think it’s just the house but then as you start exploring the grounds you realise there is so much more, the barns and a hidden hot tub! I was blown away by the bathtub, it looks more like a swimming pool!

An incredibly inspiring place. From the staircase to all the beautiful fireplaces, we couldn’t wait to add our florals! Each room has a slightly different look so it would suit many different styles.

It has such a homely feel while also being so grand, it mixes the idea of a grand country wedding and an intimate space. I think it would be ideal for a long weekend wedding, full of laughter and celebration!

So many fun quirky features! The hidden doors and secret book case, it’s the venue that keeps giving joy.

The Youngest Child – Styling, Décor and Florals 

I visited Boconnion for the first time for an autumnal photoshoot with some other wedding suppliers. I was completely blown away by this beautiful wedding venue tucked away in peaceful seclusion.

The grounds are absolutely stunning, the house is full of character and I wanted to explore every room. I hope to be back to this beautiful venue again very soon and look forward to seeing Boconnion throughout the changing seasons.

Caroline, thank you so much for everything you did; it was an amazing weekend, and what a team you have! Not only are you so good at what you do, you and your team are such lovely people, which made our day absolutely perfect. An extremely well-planned weekend with the best memories.
