Lusty Glaze Beach in Cornwall - named the UK's Best Coastal Wedding Venue and Britain's Best Beach - is a truly unique venue. On golden sand and below stunning cliffs, this horseshoe-shaped private cove gazes out over one of the best surf beaches in Cornwall. In summer, the sun sets over the sea, directly in front of the covered beach decking where your guests will be soaking up the atmosphere with sandy feet and happy faces.
From intimate elopements for two to large beach parties, Lusty Glaze combines a relaxed, barefoot atmosphere with flexible celebration spaces, onsite accommodation and the option to hire the entire beach exclusively for an unforgettable wedding by the sea.

Why couples choose Lusty Glaze
There are beach weddings – and then there are weddings where the beach really is yours. Lusty Glaze occupies a secluded horseshoe-shaped cove framed by towering cliffs, with golden sand beneath your feet and the Atlantic stretching towards the horizon.
Uniquely, couples can choose exclusive hire of the entire beach, creating a private seaside setting for the celebration. With Lusty Glaze privately owned down to the low-water mark, there's space to make the most of the sands without the crowds, whether that's an intimate ceremony or a full-scale beach party.
Ceremonies can take place right on the sand, allowing couples to exchange vows with the sea as their backdrop, while the covered Upper Deck provides another beautiful option with panoramic coastal views. The Beach Pavilion offers a relaxed indoor setting for ceremonies, dining and dancing, with a private stretch of beach allowing the celebrations to spill outside.
For larger weddings, Classic celebrations accommodate up to 120 daytime guests and 200 in the evening, with exclusive use of the Upper Deck and Beach Pavilion alongside a private beach area. Couples looking for complete privacy can opt for exclusive hire of the whole venue and beach.
Small weddings and winter celebrations
Lusty Glaze is just as suited to smaller celebrations. Intimate weddings can accommodate up to 40 guests in the Beach Pavilion with a private section of beach, while elopement-style weddings are available for just two to six people.
Winter brings a completely different atmosphere to the cove. With dramatic seas outside and fairy lights, fires and cosy interiors within, winter weddings offer a romantic way to experience the beach out of season, with celebrations for up to 60 daytime and 90 evening guests.
Whatever the season, the Cornish weather needn't dictate the day. Indoor spaces provide a beautiful alternative when conditions change, while the venue team can adapt the setup to allow celebrations to continue whatever is happening beyond the windows.
Stay beside the sea
Up to 30 guests can stay onsite across nine different accommodation options, allowing couples to extend their time at Lusty Glaze beyond the wedding itself.
The beachfront Cottage and Chalet offer wonderfully atmospheric places to stay, with the sound of the waves and sweeping sea views making them particularly special for the night before the wedding or the newlyweds' first night together.
For exclusive weddings, additional beach accommodation can bring even more of the wedding party together, turning the celebration into a memorable stay on the North Cornish coast.
Your own piece of Cornwall
A dedicated wedding team is on hand throughout the planning process, helping couples shape the spaces, food and details around the celebration they have in mind.
And Lusty Glaze lends itself to celebrations that are anything but conventional. Think barefoot vows on the sand, drinks overlooking the Atlantic, sunset photographs on the beach and dancing into the night with the sound of the sea just beyond the party.
Combining legal beach ceremonies, exclusive hire, onsite accommodation and one of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal settings, Lusty Glaze is an extraordinary choice for couples dreaming of a relaxed, romantic and unmistakably Cornish wedding by the sea.
