Polhawn Fort

The place was stunning. Our guests kept asking us how we found it. We loved it and so did our guests. The staff we met were lovely and understanding! Definitely recommend!!

Polhawn Fort is perched on the edge of the long gorgeous beach where I grew up as a child. When Simon and I got engaged I knew exactly where I wanted to get married! I wanted a wedding which was a bit different, I wanted to include treasure hunts, a visit from santa for the kids, fun canapés (Cornish crab ice cream cones for example!) and Polhawn Fort has let us do just that. You hire the fort for 4 days, and all your closest friends and family can stay in their gorgeously decorated rooms with fantastic sea views. Then you tailor the wedding yourself - we hired our own caterers (White Radish), made our own cake, supplied our own flowers and created our own perfect wedding - with a fun Christmas theme. Polhawn Fort enables you to do whatever you want and create your perfect weekend - or week - not just the wedding day! I would recommend it to anyone getting married who loves being by the ocean, whether it’s on a beautiful sunny day or a stormy one - the fort caterers for it all. We had log fires burning and fur shrugs, and a stand for S’mores with a sparkler send off! Perfect day...Perfect venue!

To Sarah, Gemma & the Team, What can we say....? Beautiful venue, beautiful location and beautiful people. So much help and guidance. And we would not have gotten out Wednesday without your help. You helped create the most memorable day of our lives and a day our guests are still talking about. I wish we could come back on vacation! Lots of love Nick & Spencer Milward

We had an amazing weekend at Polhawn from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. Unfortunately it rained for the first time in weeks on our actual day but that didn’t put a dampener on things. An outdoor or indoor ceremony is stunning at Polhawn. All our guests were blown away by the venue and how romantic it was, and everyone still made the most of it despite the rain. Having the fort for the whole weekend meant things were a lot more relaxed and it was like a mini holiday for us and the wedding party. Now that the wedding is over I’m saddened that we won’t get to go back to Polhawn soon! Thank you for everything!

Dear Sarah, Gemma, Jim and the team, We have just had the most amazing day ever and it's largely down to you guys. Thank you Sarah for knowing it was the place for us and gently convincing us to go forward. Thank you Gemma for your patience with endless questions & room juggling. Thank you Jim for your calm voice on the day making everything happen like clockwork. The Fort is a special place and I'm so glad I found it. All our guests are still talking about it & it's wonders and so you should definitely have lots more interest from people as the good word is spread. I just have to mention that when we left on the Monday we stopped at the Cliff Top cafe to buy our girls ice creams and we saw a pod of dolphins in the bay. You couldn't have got anymore magic if you tried with 2 sunsets as well. Thank you, love, love and more. Mel, Paul, Maisie-bean & Eva-belle

I wish I could add more stars. This was my dream before I met my husband, the place is perfect, the view is perfect, the support from Polhawn is perfect. It is a dream come true.

We got married in 06/2018 at Polhawn Fort. It was the most special day. The venue is simply stunning- you cannot beat it! Everyone who’s planned or currently planning a wedding will know that it can be at times very stressful, but the staff at Polhawn Fort took that stress away- You can not fault them! From the initial viewing to the booking process and then leading up to the day was brilliant. They couldn’t do enough to help and answered every email with a fast response and always on the end of the phone when needed. The day ran so smoothly and they made sure everything was taken care of so we could just simply enjoy our day. You can tell the staff love their job and take pride in what they do. Thank you Polhawn Fort for helping make our dreams come true

James and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making our dream wedding come true. When planning our wedding we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect venue and we feel incredibly lucky we got married at Polhawn Fort. After visiting the fort for the first time in August 2016, revisiting in February 2018 to arriving for our wedding in August 2018 it had the same impact everytime! Just wow! We couldn't wait to have all our family and friends see it for the first time and finally understand why we travelled all the way from Leeds to marry in Cornwall. Which they did! Just perfect! Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more! Thank you!

Just a message to say thank you for everything that your team did to ensure we had the best Wedding Day. We got married at the Fort on the 19/07/2018 and we had the most amazing day celebrating at your fantastic venue, in the sunshine, with our loved ones. Every one of our guests commented on the beautiful and unique setting and terrific views and we were lucky enough with the weather that we were able to have some Wedding photographs down on the beach which was just perfect. Thank you very much to each and every one of the team who helped ensure that things ran smoothly for us, you run a brilliant operation and every person that we came across from the very first contact to the day itself was a complete pleasure to deal with. We feel very lucky to have got married at such a special venue and would highly recommend your services to all other Bride and Grooms to be! Thank you for everything.
