Eden Project

The Eden Project offers a striking botanical setting in Cornwall, where two vast biomes create a wedding backdrop unlike anywhere else. One houses the world’s largest captive rainforest, filled with lush planting and elevated walkways, while the other evokes the warmth and colour of the Mediterranean. Together, they create an immersive atmosphere that feels far-flung yet entirely within reach.

Rather than travelling abroad, couples can celebrate among citrus groves, rainforest canopies and dramatic glass structures, with varied spaces that shift naturally from ceremony to drinks to evening celebrations. From waterfall viewpoints to aerial walkways, the setting offers a rich variety of photographic backdrops, all within one distinctive destination.

Ceremonies at the Eden Project take place beneath rainforest canopies or within Mediterranean planting, creating an outdoor-style experience sheltered from the unpredictability of British weather. The Malaysian House within the Rainforest Biome offers a distinctive ceremony space, surrounded by lush greenery and layered planting.

Couples seeking a more adventurous entrance can choose to arrive via the SkyWire or even abseil into the ceremony, adding a dramatic moment before vows are exchanged. These unique options allow each celebration to feel individual, shaped by the atmosphere and spaces available across the site.

Receptions unfold across a variety of spaces, from Mediterranean terraces for relaxed dining to rainforest settings for cocktails beneath towering planting. As evening arrives, celebrations continue under a canopy of glass and greenery, with the atmosphere shifting naturally from drinks to dining and dancing.

Guests may also arrive by bunting-decorated land train, setting a playful tone from the start. The variety of locations allows the day to move fluidly, with each stage offering a different setting while remaining within the same distinctive environment.

There are numerous accommodation options nearby, with the team happy to recommend suitable places for couples and guests. This flexibility allows everyone to stay close by while enjoying the wider Cornwall setting.

The Eden Project offers in-house catering, with menus designed around individual preferences and the style of celebration. From canapés and informal dining to formal seated meals, the team works closely with couples to shape the experience.

Food and flowers are sustainably sourced where possible, reflecting the venue’s botanical setting and environmental focus. The result is dining that complements both the setting and the pace of the day.

Sustainability forms part of the Eden Project’s ethos, reflected in its botanical environment and sourcing choices. Food and floral elements are sustainably sourced where possible, aligning celebrations with the venue’s wider environmental focus.

Set in the heart of Cornwall, the Eden Project provides a destination setting for weddings, with coastal landscapes, countryside and local towns nearby. Guests travelling for a weekend celebration can enjoy the wider area before and after the wedding.

The Eden Project benefits from strong transport links. The nearest train station sits on the Paddington to Penzance line, and the nearest airport is approximately 30 minutes away by car, making travel straightforward for guests arriving from across the UK.
