The Best Wedding Venues in Cornwall Made for Live Music

Cornwall’s wild landscapes, coastal views, and creative spirit make it the perfect backdrop for unforgettable weddings - and incredible entertainment. But not every venue is set up to let your act shine.

Let’s find a setting that turns up the volume on your celebration.
