Why couples choose The Greenbank

The Greenbank occupies an exceptional position directly on Falmouth Harbour. Full-length windows, balconies and terraces place the water at the heart of the celebrations, with passing boats and the lights of Flushing creating an ever-changing backdrop.

As the only hotel in the South West with its own private pontoons and moorings, it also offers the memorable option of arriving by boat, enjoying a private river cruise or sailing away together after the ceremony.

A choice of spaces makes the hotel suitable for everything from a ceremony for two to a lively evening reception for 150 guests.

Marry by the water

The Riverbank Suite is a bright and elegant ceremony room with uninterrupted harbour views, a private balcony, dance floor and bar. Accommodating up to 100 seated guests, it works particularly well for year-round weddings, bringing the scenery indoors whatever the weather.

For a summer celebration, the marquee sits directly on the private quay. With the water just beyond its windows, it can host up to 100 guests for dining and 150 for the evening reception.

Smaller weddings can take place on the romantic Sundeck, which accommodates up to 25 ceremony guests and 20 for dining. For the most intimate ceremonies, the Florence Suite and Lookout Suite are licensed for up to 16 people.

Celebrate beside Falmouth Harbour

After the ceremony, guests can gather on the balcony, terrace or quay for drinks while watching life unfold across the harbour. Couples may also arrange a private boat charter, adding a relaxed maritime experience to the celebrations.

Wedding breakfasts are prepared by the hotel’s experienced kitchen team, with menus showcasing quality local produce and seasonal flavours. The bar team can create a tailored wine and drinks selection to complement the food and style of the day.

The Riverbank Suite and marquee both provide flexible blank-canvas settings for flowers, table styling and entertainment. As daylight fades, reflections across the water and harbour lights bring a magical atmosphere to the evening party.

Stay on the water’s edge

The Greenbank has around 60 individually styled bedrooms and suites, many enjoying harbour views, balconies or large bay windows overlooking the water.

The newlyweds can spend their first night in a luxurious honeymoon suite, while exclusive wedding rates may be arranged for guests wishing to stay. A Cornish breakfast the following morning offers an opportunity to continue the celebrations before exploring Falmouth.

The hotel is within easy reach of the town’s independent shops, galleries, beaches and historic waterfront. Guests can also dine in the Water’s Edge Restaurant, enjoy drinks on the terrace or visit The Working Boat, the hotel’s characterful quayside pub.

Combining a unique harbour setting, flexible wedding spaces and the possibility of arriving by boat, The Greenbank Hotel is a memorable choice for a waterside wedding in Falmouth.
