Dream Cornish Venue
| Q | We want an intimate Cornish wedding with our loved ones – where can you suggest? |

Our talented team specialise in intimate events, elopements, and smaller ceremonies at this wonderful historic property. The house can accommodate more than 18 wedding guests in the luxurious suites, making great opportunities for families to stay together on the night of the wedding and create precious memories. We also have six acres of manicured grounds providing plenty of opportunities for photoshoots. |

Animal Lovers
| Q | We want alpacas, our favourite animals to join in with our special day being hosted in Devon. How can we make this possible? |
| A | Mark Norman says: We have been busy taking our alpacas to weddings this year and new for summer was our cute one-year-olds, Hagrid and Sirius, who made their first appearance at a wedding! Guests got to hand-feed carrots to the alpacas, stroke them and have photographs taken with them. We mingled with the guests, providing a great opportunity for photographs and selfies. The happy couple went for an alpaca walk providing a fantastic photo moment! The venue, Rockbeare Manor provided a great space for our adorable alpacas and the team were super helpful. As part of the wedding package, the couple had already visited our alpaca farm to meet and walk the alpacas which is a great way to feel more relaxed around the animals on the actual wedding day. We even offer a homemade cream tea which provides a real treat! |

Step Back In Time
| Q | We want to find a quirky and unusual Cornish wedding venue – where can you suggest? |
| A | The Expert says: Experience the era of steam travel and go back in time at this wonderful wedding venue. Built in the 1950s, the station is home to two platforms, a café and booking hall plus a variety of coaches, steam and diesel locomotives. Exclusive hire and individual hire of the coaches are available while the Booking Hall and Signal Box make idyllic spaces for elopement or small micro weddings. Couples hosting larger parties of up to 150 guests can make the most of the station platforms, offering sheltered outdoor space for the ceremony followed by full use of a steam or diesel locomotive with a variety of accompanying coaches for an on-board celebration. Other platforms include Boscarne Junction and Colesloggett Halt and both can be used for photo opportunities. The two branch lines that offer a 13-mile round trip meander through the heart of the Cornish countryside enjoying impressive views of the Glynn Valley; Camel Trail and the River Camel and River Fowey. The café can be used to prep and warm food for the wedding party and Cornish pasties and cream tea boxes can be purchased to take on board (external caterers are also welcome.) The BSK Coach features a fully operating bar and provides a large open space, perfect for a drinks reception with canapés. Private coach hire starts from £895 and is perfect for a cost-friendly, small intimate celebration. There's a variety of wedding packages available to help couples tailor-make their day including the Glynn Belle Package from £2,495; the Boscarne Belle Package from £2,995; the Cornish Belle Package from £3,995 and the Elopement Package from £800.
