Why You Should Plan a Weekend Long Wedding Celebration at Treseren

Choosing a venue with this option will mean you can spend quality time with your guests and savour every moment of your magical celebrations. Izzy from Treseren in Cornwall, a magical spot for intimate gatherings, is here to divulge her experience and expertise.

A Wonderful Welcome

At Treseren, weddings always include a two- or three-night stay, and the celebrations begin the evening before the wedding. A very English welcome with homemade cake, tea, and coffee is followed by a delicious feast using seasonal Cornish produce. There is always such a feeling of excitement and anticipation in the air, and this sharing-style meal is the perfect way of making everyone feel at home. This may be the first time some of the guests meet each other, and it’s always wonderful to feel the shared excitement filling the house.

“The Friday night meal at Treseren was a beautiful evening for myself and Oscar” says Audrey, a Treseren Bride. “Watching our families hit it off and enjoy time together put me at ease before the wedding. Sitting around the table with our loved ones was everything we had wished for. The table was set beautifully, the food was delicious, and our families were all happy and smiling, celebrating our love. The entire atmosphere was so warm and beautiful. I remember thinking Friday night that there was no way Saturday could top it because of how perfect it was.”

The Wedding Day

Choosing a wedding venue with accommodation means you can have a relaxing wedding morning – at Treseren; we serve a delicious home-cooked breakfast before preparations begin. Hair and makeup teams arrive alongside florists and musicians, and the experts get to work putting the day together. Whilst guests enjoy tea in the gardens or a spot of croquet on the lawns, we make the magic happen! Treseren is a unique mix of a hosted wedding venue come luxury holiday home, and we love delivering a 5-star service in a home-from-home atmosphere.

“I am such a perfectionist, so I expected to be rushed off my feet to ensure everything was how I wanted it, but that wasn’t the case!” explains Rachael, a Treseren Bride. “I didn’t have to lift a finger and felt relaxed from the moment I woke up so that I could enjoy every minute of our wedding day. What is so amazing about getting married at Treseren is that you enjoy the venue for three nights rather than only having the day there and being thrown out, which gives you even more time to make amazing memories!”

Sundays are for relaxing – or exploring

Choosing to have a weekend-long wedding means there is no packing away and sad goodbyes on Sunday morning – you can all stay in your Pyjamas for as long as you want and enjoy a lazy, leisurely breakfast. You’ve got the whole day ahead of you – you may choose to relax and enjoy exclusive use of your very own country house, or you may be ready to head out and explore the local area. Treseren is nestled in the Cornish countryside, just 10 minutes from breathtaking beaches, so there is plenty of exploring to be done. You may be happy to split up into smaller groups at this point – perhaps an energetic surf lesson is suitable for some, while others would prefer to find the perfect coffee spot. We recommend meeting back up for an early evening meal to share the day’s adventure stories – bringing fish and chips back to enjoy at Treseren is a popular relaxed option. At the same time, a private chef will happily cook up a storm in the kitchen if preferred. One of the things our couples tell us they love most about their Treseren wedding is the feeling that they can relax and enjoy the experience.

“We’ve made memories to last a lifetime, and we’re already planning our next trip down to Cornwall because it now holds the most special place in our hearts.” Izzy and Henry, a Treseren Bride and Groom.

“Breakfast was one of our favourite parts of the whole weekend – there is something so lovely every morning at Treseren about coming together for breakfast – there’s anticipation in the air each morning for what you might get up to that day, everyone is in a wonderful mood and all excited and the food served is just gorgeous.” Tara and Barny, a Treseren Bride and Groom.

UK Destination Wedding Venue

Of course, choosing a location like Cornwall for your wedding means you are minutes from beautiful wild landscapes, stunning beaches and fabulous dining experiences. Whether staying together as a group or transitioning to smaller units, we often discover that guests leaving Treseren continue their Cornish adventure rather than heading home. There are many great places to stay nearby, from boutique hotels by the sea to cosy cottages. For couples, we always recommend The Scarlet Hotel for an exceptional experience. The Scarlet is an adult-only hotel with an award-winning eco spa – what better way to end your wedding celebrations than sipping champagne from a clifftop hot tub?
