4 Star Hotel

Venue Overview

Carbis Bay, St Ives, United Kingdom

Luxury, Glamour, Romance since 1894. Set in the heart of our very own sandy bay with stunning sea views, Carbis Bay has been hosting grand weddings and intimate gatherings.

Description

What’s better than getting married? Getting married on the beach!

Set against the backdrop of its privately owned Blue Flag beach, as exotic and exhilarating as any British shoreline, Carbis Bay fits the bill.

Twelve separate areas of the estate are licensed for ceremonies, including the Wedding Hut on the buttery sand, an outdoor pavilion and beautiful function suites inside the Main House hotel. From classic to quirky, small and intimate to grand and glam, weddings are expertly tailored to every couple’s precise wishes.

In addition, cocktail parties and barbeques can be thrown overlooking the turquoise waters, perhaps before a beachside firework finale. Right on the beach are the hotel’s coastal-chic Beach Lodges and Beach Suites, some of them boasting hot tubs and roof gardens. Those make for a comfortable and indulgent first night of wedlock.

We are so pleased that we found Nicole and everyone at Carbis bay to host our wedding. We had looked at 6 other venues around Cornwall and Carbis bay was the last one that we visited. We totally saved the best until last!
Once introduced to Nicole and given a tour of the hotel we had made up our …

mind and booked then and there. We live in Essex so needed a lot of help organising suppliers etc. Nicole spent a lot of time sitting with us going through lists of recommended suppliers and helping us choose the right people to work with for flowers, cake, photos, band, magician etc. Through her recommendations, we found some amazing people. Nicole kept in touch all through the process and nothing was too much trouble. The ideas and suggestions that she had all worked on the wedding day beautifully, we worked so closely with Nicole we now think of her as a friend.
The whole build up to the wedding was effortless, Nicole and her team took all the stress out of the wedding so that we could relax and enjoy every aspect of it. They are all so professional. The wedding day was so perfect better than I had planned, the beach club looked beautiful, the food was out of this world. Everything was seamless. I couldn't have asked for more, every tiny detail was catered for. If you're planning a wedding I would highly recommend Carbis bay. I want to do it all again and I wouldn't look anywhere else if I did. We can't wait to go back. We have already booked to stay in one of the new amazing lodges for our first anniversary!
Amazing place, warm, friendly, professional and caring people. Amazing Nicole. You couldn't ask for better.

beautiful lady.
We had so many flowers, to be honest, I don’t know how they got them all down there but nothing was a problem. When I walked in and see our venue it was so beautiful I’ve never seen anything like it. Everybody said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All our family and friends are still talking about it. The setting was beautiful. Hotel rooms cottages honeymoon suite all wonderful. Food was out of this world the service we had was next to none. I love going to Caribs bay hotel as I always feel spoiled and it’s our wee get away. Thank you Nicole Josie and all the beautiful staff for making our day a fairy tale! It’s a day we will never forget thank you to Nicole and everyone for making our dreams come true! Can’t wait to come back wish we could move in. Love and hugs to you all xxx

Carbis Bay,

What can I say!? You made our Christmas Wedding dreams a reality. We never imagined that the ideas we had could actually happen. It was magical and festive and all our guests say "it was us all over". You got us and our vision and for that we are so grateful. Thank you, thank you, …
