Why couples choose the Eden Project

Few wedding venues can offer a backdrop quite like the Eden Project. Couples can exchange vows surrounded by the sights and scents of the Mediterranean or immerse themselves in the lush greenery of the world's largest indoor rainforest, creating the feeling of a far-flung celebration without ever leaving Cornwall.

The Mediterranean Biome is filled with bright blooms, citrus trees and aromatic herbs, offering an outdoor-style wedding whatever the British weather. After dark, subtle lighting transforms the space, creating a magical setting for an atmospheric evening reception beneath the soaring architecture of the Biome.

For something altogether more tropical, the Rainforest Biome provides a spectacular setting amid exotic foliage, a waterfall and elevated walkways. Couples can even tie the knot in the Malaysian House before exploring the extraordinary surroundings for photographs.

Beyond the Biomes, Eden offers a choice of spaces for different parts of the celebration. The Gallery commands panoramic views across the iconic Biomes and can be used for receptions, dinners and parties, while Eden Kitchen provides a contemporary event space between the Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes.

A taste of Cornwall

Food is an important part of weddings at Eden, with menus centred around seasonal produce and a strong emphasis on local sourcing. Couples can work with the catering team to create a menu to suit their celebration, from a traditional wedding breakfast to relaxed banquet-style dining.

This commitment to local produce forms part of Eden's wider approach to sustainability. Couples looking to reduce the environmental impact of their celebration can explore sustainably sourced food and drink, lower-waste decorations and other eco-conscious options.

A wedding with a difference

Every Eden wedding can be shaped around the couple, with an experienced events team on hand to help plan the ceremony, reception and details of the day.

There are opportunities for some particularly memorable touches too, from arriving aboard Eden's land train to capturing wedding photographs amongst tropical foliage, beside the waterfall or high above the rainforest canopy.

Guests are also given the opportunity to return to Eden the following day, extending the experience beyond the wedding itself and giving them time to explore the gardens and Biomes.

Combining world-famous architecture, extraordinary botanical surroundings and a pioneering approach to sustainability, the Eden Project is an unforgettable choice for couples seeking a unique and imaginative wedding venue in Cornwall.

Unfortunately we can never rely on the British weather regardless of time of year, but here at Eden you don't need to worry. You can feel like you're dining al fresco and dancing under a sea of twinkling stars - even when it's raining cats and dogs! - creating a spectacular evening atmosphere.
