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.

Looking Back on an Extraordinary 2025 at Pengelly Weddings
Reflections

Looking Back on an Extraordinary 2025 at Pengelly Weddings

As we step into 2026, we’re filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement as we reflect on an incredible year here at Pengelly Weddings. From incredible celebrations with our couples to exciting new additions to the estate, 2025 will be remembered as one of our most memorable yet. A Year Filled With Love This year we were honoured to host over 80 weddings, each one unique and full of personality, including our first New Years Eve wedding. It’s been a true privilege to be part of so many love stories and to witness couples create unforgettable memories with their nearest and dearest. We also welcomed a record number of Christmas parties, bringing festive cheer to The Barn and making this season one of our most magical yet. New Amenities & Beautiful Spaces In May, we were delighted to launch our brand-new Glam Room, the first of its kind in Cornwall. This beautiful space has already become a favourite part of our wedding days, offering a luxurious and relaxed area for bridal preparations and special moments before the main event. Behind the scenes, we also started work on our Kitchen Garden, where we’re growing fresh, local herbs and vegetables to complement our catering. This space will soon feature a pizza oven and giant feasting tables, perfect for relaxed day-after celebrations, we can’t wait to share more as this project evolves – see our CGI image below. To enhance the entrance to The Barn, we planted new silver birch trees along the driveway, creating an even more dramatic and beautiful entrance for our couples and guests. It’s a small but meaningful change that adds to the magic of arriving here on your wedding day. In-house Catering Preparation A major milestone this year was the preparation that went behind the launch of our in-house catering. We welcomed Head Chef Ian to lead this exciting chapter, bringing his creativity and passion for locally inspired cuisine to every wedding we host. Recognition for Our Team We are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved this year, and that was reflected in the awards we received across the wedding and tourism industry: Silver for Wedding Venue of the Year at the Cornwall Tourism Awards Barn/County Wedding Venue and overall Wedding Venue of the Year at the South West Wedding Awards Events Team of the Year for the South West at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) We are thrilled to be representing Cornwall at the TWIA National Awards in the coming weeks and look forward to celebrating alongside the very best in the industry. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re filled with excitement for all that’s to come. From weddings and celebrations to evolving spaces and experiences, thank you to every couple, guest, partner, and team member who made 2025 so special. Here’s to another year of unforgettable moments at Pengelly Weddings. ✨ With love, from all of us at Pengelly Weddings
