Kilminorth Cottages, a unique & private location for your wedding!
Some wedding venues can feel a bit cramped and restricted. But how does 32 acres sound? Kilminorth Cottages is an extensive wedding venue, in Looe – a truly private location in breath-taking countryside that includes landscaped gardens, a fruit orchard, and spacious surroundings that even include a dedicated altar! This is the place for couples who want to create their own unique day in their own way – beyond any pre-packaged event. It’s also a lovely backdrop for atmospheric wedding photography – I can vouch for that.
Kilminorth Cottages – the obvious choice for the imaginative wedding planner

You’re pretty much as free as you like to invent the wedding ceremony of your dreams and design the reception to be exactly as you’ve always wanted it to be. Because there’s so much space under cover and out in the open, this really is a year-round wedding venue, with room for contingency plans indoors if there’s an unexpected shower, as well as the chance to make the most of an unseasonably warm and clear evening. The wedding coordinators who opt for this Cornwall venue have plenty of options for creating a uniquely memorable occasion.

Wedding photography at Kilminorth Cottages is always a pleasure!
I’ve photographed several weddings at this venue now, and what I find couples tend to love about it is the space and flexibility, as well as its relaxed atmosphere. And there are so many different areas to explore. What I love is the opportunity to make use of the spaciousness to get imaginative with my shoots and make the most of the natural materials of stone and wood and countryside. It’s so relaxed here, I find it’s easy to capture those moments among the guests that could easily get lost. It’s a place I can really find the heart and soul of the occasion as I wander around while the guests enjoy themselves with no pressure. It’s the chance to visit awesome venues like Kilminorth Cottages that’s one of the big perks local wedding photographers like me just love about working in Cornwall.
Andrew and Robyn had their wedding ceremony at Kilminorth Cottages, and they used bales of hay for the guests to sit on. Robyn had grown up nearby, so I took some really lovely shots on the beach at Plaidy beach with the two of them. Emma and Lee chose to have the whole wedding and reception outdoors, and they picked Kilminorth Cottages because it had accommodation for guests who had travelled some distance to get to Cornwall, to stay on site too.
