Why couples choose Harbour Hotel St Ives

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially Cornish backdrop for a wedding than the golden sands, open skies and sparkling waters of St Ives Bay. Perched above Porthminster Beach, Harbour Hotel St Ives makes the most of its spectacular coastal position, with panoramic windows and outdoor spaces bringing the sea views into the heart of the celebration.

Couples can exchange vows indoors with Porthminster Beach framed through the windows or embrace the coastal setting with an open-air ceremony. Afterwards, the private terrace makes a dreamy spot for champagne and canapés overlooking the bay, while the beach is just moments away for photographs beside the water.

Inside, light-filled event spaces provide an elegant setting for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. The combination of contemporary interiors and ever-changing views across the bay makes the venue equally suited to sun-soaked summer weddings and atmospheric celebrations during the quieter winter months.

Food, drink and celebrations

Food is an integral part of weddings at Harbour Hotel St Ives, with Cornish-inspired menus and seasonal produce bringing a taste of the county to the celebrations.

Stay by the sea

With luxurious bedrooms and suites onsite, couples and their guests can turn the wedding into a relaxing stay in St Ives rather than allowing the celebrations to end after the last dance.

Many of the rooms make the most of the hotel's spectacular position overlooking Porthminster Beach and St Ives Bay, while the onsite HarSPA offers an indulgent place to unwind before or after the wedding, with treatment rooms, an indoor swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, steam room and sauna.

And with the beach and the galleries, restaurants and cobbled streets of St Ives close by, there's plenty for guests to enjoy during a longer stay on the Cornish coast.

From intimate ceremonies to larger celebrations, the hotel's experienced wedding team is on hand to help couples bring together the details of their day.
