Weddings in Cornwall: nine reasons why you should say ‘I do’ at The Alverton

After winning a series of major wedding awards and securing our silver AA rating, we’re proud to be recognised as one of the best wedding venues in Cornwall. Here are nine reasons why you should get wed at The Alverton.

The Great Hall – the perfect wedding venue

Did you know that The Great Hall was created by the same team behind the building of Truro Cathedral? With a high vaulted ceiling, marble staging and grand stone pillars, it provides the most breath-takingly beautiful backdrop to your big day. It’s the perfect venue for weddings in Cornwall.


Dedicated wedding team

We have an expert team who are there if you need anything on the lead up to your wedding day. Meeting regularly you’ll have a helping hand every step of the way. Full of advice, with tons of contacts and heaps of experience, the team are a safe pair of hands. We will do everything to ensure that your wedding day is magical.

Creating your own day just as you want it

We want to help you to create a day just how you want it. Tell us your ideas, bring in your Pinterest boards and show us your scrap books. We’ll work really hard to make your perfect day a reality. Most importantly of all, we’re transparent with our costs. So you can see, from the beginning, how much everything is.


The food

Food at The Alverton is delicious. With an extensive menu to choose from and a separate children’s menu, there truly is something for everyone. There’s also plenty of options for food in the evening to keep your guests well fueled for lots of dancing.

Central Cornish location

With family and friends coming from all over the county and country to celebrate your big day, The Alverton is a well located wedding venue in Cornwall. Just moments from the train station by taxi, a short walk from the bus station and close to the A30, we’re within easy reach of all the main transport links.


All in one place

Worried about travel logistics and how to get 120 people from the church to the reception? Don’t panic – hold your ceremony and reception at The Alverton. Say ‘I do’ under the dramatic ceiling of The Great Hall, sip cocktails in The Oak, then feast on lip-smackingly good food.

History and romance

The Alverton is steeped in history. Once owned by the president of the Royal Horticultural Society and more recently a convent, the building boasts a wealth of beautiful original features with stylish and luxury touches. Mature gardens surround the building and are great for stolen precious moments as newlyweds. And for photos too!


Exclusively yours

The Alverton is a busy hotel so if you fancy taking over the place with all your guests – please do! Hire the hotel for two nights and surround yourself with all your family and friends. No one has to drive and everyone can relax – including you. So you’ll be safe in the knowledge that everyone will have a fantastic time.

The little extras

When you book The Alverton we like to give you a few little extras along the way. On the run up to the big day enjoy a romantic meal in our restaurant with 25% off the final bill. One of our gorgeous suites is yours free of charge on the night of the wedding and your guests receive an exclusive discount on rooms too.
