Hidden in the heart of the Cornish countryside near the scenic fishing village of Port Isaac, Cornish Tipi Weddings is a bohemian wedding venue in the far south west of the UK. In this woodland wonderland, couples can exchange vows and have a magical celebration to remember. They're free to create a day built around their wishes and make their dream wedding or elopement a reality.

Facilities and Capacity
Cornish Tipi Weddings is a licensed wedding venue so couples can spend their entire day in its picturesque surroundings. Say your vows in the wedding pavilion in front of up to 300 guests while foxgloves, wild roses, and a stream create a charming backdrop. Roll up the walls of the pavilion to let in the sunlight and sounds of the tranquil countryside. You can also hold a legal service by the beautiful private lake, the perfect backdrop for a magical and enchanting wedding.

If you have already tied the knot and are wishing to renew your vows or looking for something more informal, then our beautiful venue with 20 acres of woodland could not be more perfect. After your service why not wander through the woodlands or down to the lake for whimsical wedding photos. You can hang lanterns, bunting, photographs or flowers and there’s even a sweet rowing boat. The venue's biggest tipi, the Grand Lodge, sits across from the ceremony pavilion. This area is perfect for a celebratory toast and cocktail reception. Wedding breakfasts can be held in the marquee meadow, which will seat up to 300 dining guests. The lawns around this marquee are perfect for letting younger guests run and play. The newlyweds can end the night beneath the stars as they make memories to last a lifetime. Couples and their guests can stay on-site overnight in the provided tipis, adding a festival vibe to any event.

Services Offered

The team at Cornish Tipi will work alongside you as you plan your big day. The in-house wedding coordinators will be on hand to provide support and top tips from the moment you book until the day itself, when you will be looked after by the venue manager throughout the day. Everyone is catered for, from the youngest guest to the older family members, whatever you may need.

Incredible venue in every way! Don’t hesitate!

We were supposed to get married in 2020. Then covid hit and we ended up having to move our wedding three times. We had lots of friends in the same boat and Cornish tipis were hands down the BEST most flexible most understanding and helpful venue out of them all. You honestly couldn’t get a more helpful, professional, friendly, diverse venue. Our wedding was so well managed and everything went to plan without either of us having to worry and no micromanaging!!! The venue is unbelievably beautiful way more beautiful than any photo can caption - our wedding felt like a movie honestly, stunning. We are so grateful we found this venue we cannot fault it or the staff and we wish we could relive it over and over again. Do not hesitate to go and visit or get it booked you honestly won’t regret it. Thank you cornish tipis we are so grateful.

Dream wedding venue and most special setting

Cornish Tipis was the only venue we visited and loved it from the get go. Now 5 days after our wedding i can confirm it was everything we dreamed of and more! I LOVED it. It has such a warm feeling and so many of our guests were blown away by our ceremony on the pontoon looking over the lake and the most asked question being 'how did you find this place?!'. It felt like a dream come true :) It was the perfect mix and combination of a DIY wedding that you could make and personalise yourself but also had the amazing support and help from the staff to make it exactly as we pictured and put my mind at ease. We had Gastropod on site do our food which was brilliant and having the top village field for 33 of our friends to stay was the perfect way to make a whole weekend of it. I honestly had the best day of my life and can't get over how beautiful the lake and venue is. It's being able to add the personal touches yourself and dress the marquee and field how you wish which makes the day feel tailor made for you. I can't wait to visit every year and to one day bring our children :) x Kate & Ben

Communicative, friendly and hardworking: the best wedding supplier!

We had such an amazing Wedding with Cornish Tipis: They bent over backwards to make our day as special and as hassle free as it could be, and we couldn't have been happier with the result. They were communicative over email, happy to help as much as they could on the day and, most importantly, friendly to us and our guests: thank you so much Cornish Tipis from Bridie and Dyfan :) x

The perfect outdoor venue

The venue is so naturally beautiful and the ceremony area is perfect for anyone that is looking for that emersive outdoor romantic setting. The staff couldn't be more friendly on the day, treating us with kindness and positivity and the staff that helped in the planning stages were very responsive and gave detailed information throughout. It felt like a festival camping on site with all of your best mates and family and everyone had the most fantastic time. There is excellent provision for the wet weather too with a good sized marquee.

Beautiful venue and incredible team

Me and my wife had the best wedding service and reception at Cornish Tipis. It is truly a unique experience, with many of our guests still reliving the day. Kim, Lizzy & the team were incredible to work with and stayed calm when me and my wife were panicking. We highly recommend Cornish Tipis for a truly amazing wedding day!

Above and beyond

I cannot recommend Cornish Tipi's enough. We booked an elopement wedding with relatively short notice and the team were incredibly helpful. On the day the staff were amazing, attentive and ensured everything ran seamlessly. It was perfect and the venue is absolutely stunning.

Simply the best!

We just wanted to write to tell you how amazing you all are! Thank you SO MUCH for hosting our wedding, you were absolutely brilliant. You made everything seem so effortless, and even calmed us down before the ceremony (not an easy job to take on!). You really went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful.

Our guests were amazed with the venue, the guests that stayed loved the tipis, and I think they converted the non campers into campers! The lake was a hit with everyone too.

Our photos are beautiful and so perfect in the beautiful scenery of the venue - the lake, woodland, tipis and the rustic marquee.

Cornish Tipi Weddings was our dream venue! We had a wonderful day in the beautiful surroundings and all the staff were so lovely and helpful. Everything was so easy and their communication was great. We had to change date several times due to Covid and living abroad, and they were so accommodating and understanding. We all had the best day!

Brilliant wedding venue

Just returned from my daughter’s wedding at Cornish Tipis, still buzzing days later. Not only was the place stunningly beautiful, the staff on site is fantastic: everyone was incredibly helpful, especially Dom, Sara, and John. Lovely setting, lovely people. Highly recommendable.

The most magical of places!

We had the most perfect wedding at Cornish Tipis. The location itself is completely unique; the lake and woodlands are absolutely magical and the open marquee allows you to create your own individual vision for your special day. The staff at the site were on hand to support us from our very first visit and they all ensured that we had everything we wanted on the day. Our guests were able to spend the whole weekend on the site and we created wonderful memories which included a big pre-wedding BBQ, swimming and fishing on the lake, and camping in the amazing Tipis. We will never forget this special place and we will visit for many years to come.

Our little bit of paradise

We would totally and without hesitation recommend Cornish Tipi Weddings to anyone. From the first contact email, Phoebe helped us all the way to an amazing, magical day. We were looking for that special, slightly different place, where a wedding could be just for us and that is exactly what happened. Everyone at Cornish Tipi were just so friendly and couldn’t help enough, they even took loads of the photos! But one of the best memories we both have about our wedding (apart from actually getting married!) is the happiness and laughter. What a lovely place, with lovely people! You even get to play in a boat in a lake! Thank you everyone! We love you Cornish Tipi Weddings xxx

Fantastic outdoor wedding venue!

We had the most magical wedding at Cornish Tipi Weddings in Cornwall this year. The staff were fabulous and helpful throughout - both their communication prior to the wedding and on the day itself. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Such a beautiful venue, perfect for our small relaxed wedding, with plenty of options for how you want your day to be. Thank you.
