Licensed for weddings

Wow factor

The hotel's private yacht, Pinuccia, or a speedboat can take you out for a champagne picnic on a secluded beach.

Need to know

No large weddings take place here during the busy summer months, but wedding parties of less than ten can be accommodated year-round. Wedding parties of more than 50 people are requested to book the hotel's 29 rooms on an exclusive basis for a minimum of two nights. Unfortunately, evening receptions are not possible. Room 29 has wonderful views from the bay window and is popular with honeymooners.

Inspiration

Many special weddings are held at Tresanton each year. The team strives never to say no, whether it is to a grand firework display out in the bay, or to sending a helicopter to whisk the bride and groom from the church to the hotel. The private Nook terrace is ideal for a small champagne and lobster reception, or a private candlelit dinner for the bride and groom.
