How to be inspired by nature for your sustainable wedding at Tredudwell Manor

There is nothing quite like hearing couples breathe out a soft “wow” when they arrive at our Cornwall wedding venue. It always feels special. Tredudwell is wrapped in rolling countryside and wild coastline, with a peaceful stillness that encourages everyone to slow down. When nature surrounds us so generously, we feel a responsibility to care for it. This is why many couples planning a sustainable wedding choose Tredudwell. They fall in love with the views and the quiet. They also love the feeling of being completely enveloped by Cornwall.

The location of our Cornwall wedding venue is magical

Tredudwell sits in a wonderfully remote corner of Cornwall. It is so peaceful here that the birds set the rhythm of the day. Couples often share how soothing it feels to escape the rush of daily life and settle into their own bubble. You can enjoy the entire weekend in our country house, which sleeps up to eighteen guests. Your loved ones can stay nearby thanks to the beautiful accommodation at The Vale, less than three miles away.

Marry under open skies

Choosing an outdoor ceremony is such a meaningful way to root your wedding in nature. Our ceremony spaces feel calm and romantic in every season. You can exchange vows beneath wide skies with views across the clifftops, Lantic Bay and the wildflower meadows. The Roman temple seats up to two hundred and twenty guests. Your photographer will have endless inspiration.

Celebrate outdoors with drinks and relaxed dining

There is generous space for guests to gather, wander and enjoy long moments together. Drinks feel particularly special outside, especially when the sunlight reaches the terrace and gardens. Our bar team have created a beautiful cocktail menu and love bringing that celebratory energy to your wedding day.

To mark the pavilion’s tenth anniversary, we are offering a complimentary cocktail hour for all 2026 weddings, along with 2027 and 2028 bookings made before the end of this year.

Chef Glynn prepares delicious dishes that work so well outdoors, from barbecues to light seasonal plates. It gives you a lovely way to enjoy the grounds throughout the day.

Did we mention the view?

redudwell sits on a protected stretch of heritage coastline gifted to the National Trust by Justin’s grandparents. There is something incredibly moving about it. Couples often wander up to the clifftops for photographs that feel full of spirit and movement. These views are one of the reasons so many couples searching for a Cornwall wedding venue feel such a strong connection to this place.

Spend time with loved ones in our gardens

We care deeply for our gardens so you can enjoy them throughout your stay. They work beautifully for lawn games and relaxed group photos. The Cornish granite steps offer a striking spot for family portraits. In the summer months, the soft light settles so gracefully here.

A sustainable wedding venue shaped by nature

Nature sits at the heart of Tredudwell. It inspires us and guides the way we look after the land.

Our wildflower meadows bloom beneath the temple and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. They glow with red clover, wild radish and soft lilac flowers. The pond is full of life and creates a calm space for guests to explore. In the parkland, tall mature trees offer cool shelter on warm days. We continue to plant new trees, with seven thousand added in recent years as part of our long term plans for the estate.

Tredudwell has been an organic working farm since 2009. We focus on healthier soil and farming methods that reduce our impact on the environment. One hundred and fifty acres have been seeded with varieties that support pollinators and strengthen the natural landscape.

Seasonal flowers for your sustainable wedding

We asked Garden Gate Flower Company to explain why seasonal flowers can make such a positive difference.

“Choosing seasonal flowers for your wedding day supports more than just the environment. Flowers grown locally support an important ecosystem of creatives. In my case choosing me and my flowers also benefits other creatives like local potters as I use their beautiful ceramics to dress your wedding breakfast table. However, the environment can not and should not be overlooked or taken without great consideration. Flowers that aren’t seasonal often carry huge air miles to get here, are treated with lashings of awful chemicals which are not only nasty for the individuals that have to care for them but also for the watercourses that surround the growing site. My flowers are grown under 10 miles from Tredudwell Manor, they are grown without the use of harsh chemicals and follow sustainable growing methods. I grow crops that support the bees, butterflies & bird population which in turn reduces the need for pesticides. I like to think that my seasonal flowers are a balanced system – they support me and I support land and nature.”
