Some of Cornwall’s most beautiful weddings have been held at Lusty Glaze. It was voted the UK’s Best Coastal Wedding Venue in 2019 and has picked up awards from Hitch and Muddy Stilettos in recent years.

From the private sandy beach near Newquay, the team here welcome everything from exclusive family-friendly parties for 100 guests, to intimate elopements with just four of your nearest and dearest.
