A DREAM VENUE
Beacon Crag
Just a two-minute drive from the harbour town of Porthleven, you’ll find Beacon Crag, a one-of-a-kind wedding venue perched on the cliffs of Cornwall’s south coast. Set within five acres of private grounds, the licensed wedding venue boasts staggering views across the sea and rugged cliffscape with its own access to the rocky coves below, while its terraced gardens are perfect for a marquee reception with ocean views. The Cliff Top Elopement package means you can even bring your dog, and with use of a new hot tub overlooking the Atlantic, it truly is a wildly romantic place to wed.
BEAUTIFULLY BESPOKE
Tumbled Treasure
Born out of her family’s love of beach combing (or treasure hunting, as they call it), Karen Athey began Tumbled Treasure in celebration of the beautiful sea glass that Cornish beaches seem to be so good at providing, and of the memories that each piece holds of special days.
Also known as Mermaid’s Tears, Karen Athey’s sea glass is naturally tumbled by the waves and collected from beautiful Cornish beaches by friends and family. Every piece of sea glass is unique, providing inspiration for her bespoke, hand-crafted designs, set in sterling silver.
Commission pieces using your own sea glass are welcomed and a lovely reminder of your favourite beach. For information on ready-made pieces, or for commissioning a piece using your own sea glass, make sure to pay a visit to the Tumbled Treasure website.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
The Rosevine
Located on the Roseland peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that’s seemingly been untouched by the modern world, The Rosevine is a relaxed and friendly seaside bolthole that remains open all year round. It’s truly a special venue in which to say ‘I do’, and the Rosevine team believe that nothing should prevent you from having the wedding day of your dreams. With this in mind, every wedding is tailored bespoke to the bride and groom, helping you and yours to create special memories that you’ll all remember and cherish forever.
The Rosevine has 15 apartments, studios and a four-bedroom self-catering house, sleeping a total of 36 adults and 19 children, and providing ample space for you and your nearest and dearest to stay awhile and soak up the ambience that only the Roseland can provide. In short, if you’re looking for a stylish coastal escape that will be exclusively yours for your wedding and the days surrounding, the team would love to hear from you and begin welcoming you to the Rosevine family.
