Why couples choose Weddings by the Harbour

For couples who want to celebrate within touching distance of the sea, the location is hard to beat. Tucked into the cliffs above Newquay Harbour, the venue looks across the boats and activity of the working harbour to the ocean beyond, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day.

Its intimate scale is central to its appeal. With celebrations for up to 50 guests and exclusive use of the property, weddings feel private and personal, while the team works closely with each couple to shape the day around their own ideas.

Celebrate by the sea

Couples can exchange vows in a celebrant-led ceremony in the harbour-view room for up to 30 guests or, for an even more intimate moment, outside on the terrace for up to 20 with the sea as a spectacular backdrop.

Afterwards, gather for cocktails and canapés overlooking the harbour before moving into the dining room for the wedding feast. The balcony and terrace invite guests to step outside, soak up the views and enjoy the atmosphere of this unique waterside setting.

For couples marrying legally elsewhere, Weddings by the Harbour also offers reception-only celebrations for up to 50 guests.

Feast with a view

Food is an integral part of the experience, with bespoke menus designed around each couple’s tastes, style and budget. Celebrations might take the form of a relaxed gourmet barbecue accompanied by music on the balcony or an elegant three-course dinner overlooking the water.

With the food, drinks and setting all tailored to the occasion, couples can create anything from an informal seaside gathering to a stylish, candlelit celebration, while the dedicated wedding coordinator helps bring the details together.

Stay by the harbour

Six individually appointed bedrooms allow couples and some of their closest guests to stay right at the heart of the celebrations. Each has its own balcony, making the most of the venue’s extraordinary coastal position, while breakfast the following morning offers the chance to linger a little longer together.

Direct access to the beach provides another beautiful dimension to the setting, whether slipping away for photographs by the water or simply making the most of Newquay’s dramatic coastline during your stay.
