Sunday 2nd November 2025

Last Sunday we welcomed over 450 guests to our Autumn Wedding Fair, with more than 35 brilliant suppliers joining us across the barn, cottages and lakeside terrace. It was a busy, relaxed, and inspiring day for couples planning their weddings with us and across Cornwall.

Supplier Showcases & Demos

The Glam Room hosted live hair and makeup demos from Ashley at Hair from the heart and Tiana, giving guests a chance to see different looks in action and chat directly with the artists. Throughout the day, couples explored a wide range of local suppliers, from florists and photographers to cake designers and stylists, all handpicked for their quality and creativity.

Food, Drink & a Our New In-House Catering

The weather held out for most of the day, and Spitting Pig kept everyone well-fed with their pulled pork canapés. Meanwhile, Lewis, our Bar Manager, ran wine tasting sessions that were a big hit with couples.

We were also excited to share a first look at our new in-house catering, launching in January 2025. Our food concept focuses on locally sourced, sustainable ingredients, using produce from within a 25-mile radius wherever possible.

Menus start from £45 per person for three courses, built around feast-style sharing platters and seasonal showstopper desserts. It is food designed for relaxed, social dining that reflects our setting and values.

Beautiful Tables, Zero Stress: Re-introducing Our Wedding Styling Packages

Planning a wedding involves a lot of decisions. And somewhere in the middle of choosing your menu, booking your photographer and finalising your guest list, you'll hit the table styling question… charger plates, table runners, candles, napkins, the details that make a wedding feel considered and beautiful, but that can quietly become one of the most time-consuming parts of the whole process. At The Barn at Pengelly, we wanted to make that part easy. Really easy. So, we created four in-house table styling packages that do the hard work for you. What's Included Each package includes charger plates, napkins, table runners, battery-powered taper candles and tea lights, and candle holders. Everything you need for a beautifully dressed table, all stored on-site at Pengelly, all set up by our team the day before your wedding. When you arrive on your wedding day, your tables are already done. All that's left is for your florist to add any floral arrangements if you've chosen to have them, and then it's ready. Four Styles to Choose From We've curated four distinct looks so there's something to suit every couple's vision. Classic is timeless, clean, and elegant. Light tones, simple lines, and a refined finish that works beautifully in any season. Boho brings in warmth and texture, earthy colours, relaxed layers, and the kind of effortless style that feels both thoughtful and unfussy. Garden is fresh, natural, and full of light. Perfect for couples who want their tables to feel like an extension of the outdoors, with a soft and organic feel. Vintage has character and charm, copper tones, delicate details, and a nostalgic warmth that makes every table feel like it has a story. Set Up the Day Before. Ready When You Arrive. Because your styling is stored on-site and set up by our own team the day before the wedding, there's no last-minute rushing, no coordinating with external hire companies, and no anxiety about whether everything will be ready in time. You arrive to a room that's already dressed. You walk in, take a breath, and enjoy it. Sustainable, Simple, and Better Value Our packages remove the stress of delivery charges, collection fees, and the logistical hassle of coordinating timings on one of the most important days of your life. Everything lives here. No delivery vans. No return collections. No hidden costs. It's also a more sustainable way to do things. Rather than couples buying items they use once and then try to resell or hire companies transporting the same items back and forth across the county, our pieces stay on-site and are used repeatedly. Better for your budget, better for the planet. Pricing Packages are priced by guest count, so you only pay for what you need: Up to 60 guests: £400 Up to 80 guests: £500 Up to 100 guests: £600 Ready to See Them in Person? The best way to get a feel for which style is right for you is to see them at the venue. If you're considering Pengelly for your wedding, we'd love to show you around and talk through the options. Email us at hello@pengellywedding.com or find us on Instagram to see the packages styled in our beautiful barn.

Planning your wedding food is one of the most exciting parts of your wedding, and at The Barn at Pengelly, we’ve completely reimagined what wedding catering can look like. Since launching our new menus in January, we now offer a fully immersive, multi-day catering experience. From the night before your wedding through to the morning after, every moment is thoughtfully designed around exceptional food, local produce, and a relaxed, social dining style. Locally Sourced, Seasonal & Designed for Sharing At Pengelly, our menus celebrate the very best of Cornwall. Ingredients are sourced within a 25-mile radius wherever possible, including meats reared on local farms (and even Pengelly itself), alongside herbs grown in our own kitchen garden.
