WOW, what a venue!
We had our wedding at Pengenna Manor at the end of May 2022 and WOW, what a venue. The weather was glorious sunshine and we were so happy we got to show off the venue to our guests in the way it deserves. The entire weekend was incredible start to finish and photos from the day itself are absolutely stunning. Even people not at the wedding can see what an amazing venue it is. We can't thank Pengenna Manor's staff enough for an unforgettable day. They were all an absolute pleasure to work alongside throughout the entire process and not only helped make the day easier for us to plan, but make it the best day ever for us and our guests. We highly recommend and wish we could be back every week!

We only wish we could do it all over again!
Pengenna Manor was the first and only venue we looked at - and we had the most idyllic wedding day! As soon as we arrived and met Richard we knew it was the place for us. We loved it in the rain, we we knew we'd love it whatever the British weather threw at us (although we were lucky that we managed to have our ceremony outside as we'd planned). We booked Pengenna Manor for the weekend as we had friends and family travelling from across the UK and abroad to celebrate with us, so we wanted to make the most of it. Having the option for guests to camp in the meadow was brilliant, and we had a relaxed pre-wedding celebration on the Friday before the big day. Pengenna is a beautiful setting, and Richard was always so enthusiastic and reassuring. From advice on suppliers to the nitty gritty of getting the finer details sorted, he was there to help at every stage of the way. We only wish we could do it all over again! Fiona and Nick

The whole experience was just how we imagined it!
On the 27.04.22 my husband and I married here. What an amazing venue! From start to finish Richard made us feel comfortable and at home. We fell in love with the stables as our location to marry when we viewed the website and arranged a visit not long after… being completely sold on the whole location on visiting. Ours was a private elopement, having the manor exclusively to ourselves for 24 hours. The manor itself is incredibly beautiful and looked after very well, the grounds and views surrounding the manor so picturesque and peaceful. We were looked after very well by Richard and his team (A special mention goes to Dawn here! Thank you Dawn for everything and all I write here is aimed at you too) We were made to feel at home, relaxed and the whole experience was just how we had imagined it to be. Laid back, relaxed and private. The food that was provided for us was delicious, well presented and nothing was too much trouble for the team, catering to our specific wants and needs. Thank you so much.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was!
We had our wedding here on the 10th September and it was such a wonderful day. Richard was just an absolute diamond throughout the whole process and felt more like a friend by the time it came to the day of the wedding. Pengenna really is stunning, our guests are still talking about how beautiful and versatile it was. Richard really is so thoughtful, and his attention to detail and creativity can be seen everywhere. We really couldn't have hoped for a more considerate and accommodating person to help make our dream wedding a reality. Thank you to all the team at the Manor so much, we really hope to see you again soon!

We felt like royalty!
We had our amazing wedding at Pengenna on Saturday 27th May 2017 and felt like royalty. Richard and Emily took all our worries away and made the day go without a hitch and we were all cared for amazingly. All our guests were blown away with the views and the Manor house itself - we felt very sad leaving for our honeymoon. If you are lucky enough to hold your big day here you will never look back!

A wonderful weekend!
We had the honour of hiring Pengenna in December 2017 for our two day reception. Where can I start....from the initial enquiry through to our wonderful wedding weekend Richard was phenomenal! The accommodation in the manor itself is amazing; a real home from home. Richard worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our reception went without a hitch (he dealt with a couple of oversights on my part without me knowing!) I cannot recommend this venue enough and look forward to returning to the events and staying in the manor again.

Our daughter's wedding was fabulous!
If you are planning a marquee reception with a difference and lots of extra comforts then Pengenna is the place. A beautiful setting in a sheltered valley. Our daughter’s wedding was fabulous thanks to Richard and his care to detail. We used the barn for welcome drinks which was perfect. Richard’s set up means that caterers and musicians have everything to hand. What a beautiful place.

The perfect hosts!
Thank you so much for your kind hospitality over the course of our wedding weekend. You have a lovely home and were the perfect host. Everybody had a fantastic weekend and it was made even more memorable when it started to snow. Thank you for all your help in ensuring our wedding day went smoothly.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Pengenna Manor?

We've had so many! The best weddings are always those that think about all the details and what could bring a real wow-factor (like having gospel singers during the drinks for example), and those that make full use of all the fabulous different areas that we created across our 20 acres of grounds. We particularly enjoy those who have guests camping and glamping for the whole weekend which gives the wedding a great party atmosphere over all three days and the camping meadows really come into their own when you add special touches like a camp fire area and even wood fired hot tubs!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ask your suppliers for their top tips, help and guidance! We all have so much experience and advice to give to ensure you have the perfect wedding weekend, and might suggest ideas you would have never thought of! Most of us work in the wedding industry because we are creative people.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Ooh that's a tough question, but we love it when couples have live music during their ceremony, drinks reception and dinner, it's adds such a special touch and makes the day so festive.

Describe Pengenna Manor in 5 adjectives

Historic. Exclusive. Private. Flexible. Personal.

Where’s the best photo spot at Pengenna Manor?

Either in front of our 800-year-old manor house surrounded by all that history, or down amongst the trees in the woodland walk that leads to the camping grounds at sunset with the festoon lightbulbs strung overhead.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Pengenna Manor?

Yes! We've had some celebrity chefs, super models, actors, footballers and TV presenters as guests in the past!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Richard would say a local Cornish scallop on black pudding with pea pureé. Beckie would say arancini balls of any kind!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

It has to either be the good old Cornish pasty delivered hot from one of our local bakeries, OR delicious wood-fired pizza fresh from the oven.

What is Pengenna Manor most unique feature?

We would say the way we have created multiple character-filled spaces all as a blank canvas for you to use however you want. We really try not to have any rules and you tell us how you want your day to go - unless you need our advice of course!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

That we have helped over 90 couples have the wedding of their dreams in the last 7 years!
