Below is a list of the wedding suppliers we recommend. Please feel free to contact them directly and mention you are getting married at Scorrier House.
Accommodation
Please see our separate page on accommodation here.
Catering
Please see our separate page on caterers here.
Ceremony
Civil Ceremonies (Registrars)
Scorrier has a licence to host civil ceremonies in the house and garden. However, you will need to arrange for a registrar to officiate the ceremony and conduct the marriage ceremony. The registrar's office is a division of Cornwall Council called My Cornwall Wedding.
Celebrants
An alternative to having registrars officiate your ceremony is to use a celebrant. While Celebrants cannot legally marry you, they do offer more flexibility in terms of the timing and structure of the ceremony itself. If you would like to explore this option, we recommend speaking with Sara Price, Sabine at Perfect Day Ceremonies or Kim at Humanist Ceremonies.
Church Ceremonies
Cornwall has some incredible historic churches. Scorrier sits within the 'Five Saints Cluster' of St Paul's Chacewater, St Stythians, St Wenappa Gwennap, Holy Trinity St Day and St Piran's Mission Church Carharrack. This is overseen by the Rev'd Canon Jem Thorold who can be contacted here.
Further afield, there are popular churches in Saint Agnes, Truro, Mylor and many more along both coasts of Cornwall.
Decoration & Dressing Hire
Emily Rose
Emily Rose's iconic blossom trees look amazing on tables or in front of the pillars of Scorrier's staircase. Her warehouse (only a few miles away in Redruth) is full of other smart and decorative items such as flower arches, centre pieces, chair dressings, neon signs, charger plates, mirrors and easels (useful for your table plan), sweet carts and more.
Out Of The Ordinary
Out of the Ordinary specialises in vintage hire. If you'd like different glassware to what Scorrier provides (coloured or cut glass, for example), Out of the Ordinary has a range of options. They also have some fabulous candelabras, tablerunners, charger plates for your table design, easels for your table plan, and vases for flowers. Their lanterns look stunning in the conservatory or on outdoor tables.
Little Eden Entertainment
Little Eden is your go-to supplier for bouncy castles, chocolate fountains, ice-cream trikes, photobooths, light-up letters and more party paraphernalia. Have a look at their website for the huge range of items they offer.
Lovebite Creative
Lovebite provides most of the decor and props for festivals at Scorrier, so if you're looking for festival vibes at your wedding (think flags, festoon, bunting, quirky signs and props), get in touch with Lovebite. Also check out their lawn games which provide great summer entertainment for kids and adults.

Event Equipment
Your caterer will usually arrange the hire of things like cutlery, crockery and table linen on your behalf. However, if you want to make your own order or simply browse the range of cutlery and crockery on offer (there are many!), have a look at Abbotts or Trevarno.

Marquees & Stretch Tents
You must notify Scorrier House if you wish to have a marquee during your wedding so we can ensure the setup and takedown do not interfere with other events taking place at the house.
With the exception of small gazebos (structures with a footprint no larger than 4 sqm), any marquee must be supplied by a professional marquee company (such as those listed here).
Scorrier House is licensed for 160 people, so if your wedding reception is more than 160 people, then you must have a marquee (if you have more than 130 guests we generally advise having a marquee but it's not essential).
Absolute Canvas
Absolute Canvas has put up numerous marquees of varying sizes on the lawn by the conservatory. We recommend having windowed panels on the side facing the parkland (such as those above) to give the best view. Power can be supplied from the house, so there's no need for a generator. Add-ons include hard flooring, dance floor, lighting and linings.
| www.absolutecanvas.co.uk | 01326 375747 | enquiries@absolutecanvas.co.uk |
Jabula Stretch Tents
If you don't require a marquee and yet you want to have some elements of your wedding day outside (be it drinks, speeches or dancing), you might consider a stretch tent. These are much cheaper than a marquee, come in all different sizes and are a good insurance against the Cornish weather! Jabular are regulars at Scorrier for both festivals and weddings and have a great selection of different size stretch tents.
| www.jabulatents.co.uk | 01736 796020 | info@jabulatents.co.uk |
Music
Cornwall has a huge range of musicians, bands and DJs who can play at your wedding. To make things easier, we've divided 'music' into three categories:
'Day-time' for the classical or acoustic acts who can play during the ceremony and drinks reception;
'Bands' that will play your first dance and general evening dancing (including ceilidh bands);
'DJs' that can either play before or after the band or replace them altogether.
It's worth reading the descriptions below as some day-time acts can double up as your band/DJ for the evening.
Day-time
Jo Francis
Jo is a talented local acoustic guitarist who can also DJ during the evening party.
Our Atlantic Routes
Mac and Laura are a singer/songwriter duo with a folk acoustic style. They love weddings when they're not touring or recording.
Scenic Route
Jenna and Steve are an acoustic duo (Jenna vocals and Steve guitar) who can provide live music for your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and even fill in the gaps before your band starts.
Roger Miners
Ruth is a highly accomplished harpist who has played with Goldfrapp and the BBC Concert Orchestra. She lives locally and plays weddings when not touring.
Alice Wall / Seastrings
As a solo act, Alice can play the harp during the ceremony and provide background music for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast (often relocating between the two). Together with Juliet Walshe, violinist, they create Seastrings, blending classic and contemporary string music.
Bands
Fastlane
Fastlane’s diverse repertoire spans from modern anthems by The Killers and Razorlight to timeless classics from The Police and The Who. Their unique approach to covering songs, including those rarely attempted by other local bands, sets them apart from the crowd.
| fastlanecornwall.com | 07747423689 | fastlanecornwall@gmail.com |
Black Friday
The six-piece Black Friday is influenced by their Irish and Cornish roots and their folk heroes. Catchy original songs and take on folk favourites by the likes of Flogging Molly and The Pogues will keep you and your party dancing all night.
| www.blackfridayband.co.uk | 07460 510 293 | maite@blackfridayband.co.uk |
Helm & The All Star Band
Helm has played intimate weddings and packed festivals (including our own Great Estate Festival). Together with the All Star Band, they form an incredibly talented group that can perform all of your favourite covers.
| www.helmdevegas.com | 07811 285082 | helm.devegas@gmail.com |
Josh Curnow
Josh has been a full time touring singer-songwriter for over 7 years, playing a huge range of music from stripped back covers to really getting the crowd jumping with his stomp box, guitar and piano.
The Stone Roots
One of the best Cornish bands for 90s and 00s throwback covers! Hire them as a 4-piece band or scale up to 8-piece to add some brass.
The Swing Empire
The Swing Empire is a 7-piece band straight out of the roaring 20s. Their classic jazz covers are bound to have everyone dancing while offering something a little different.
| www.theswingempire.co.uk | 07970 457413 | info@theswingempire.co.uk |
Freedom Fields
Freedom Fields is not just a folk band; they also perform ceilidhs, DJ, and ceremony music - a great all-in-one group for weddings.
| freedomfields.band | 01752 938175 | info@freedomfields.band |
The Rosevilles Ceilidh
All the band members of the Rosevilles are very local to Scorrier and their ceilidhs are fun and inclusive (regardless of whether your guests have done ceilidh before). They normally recommend having the ceilidh after the wedding breakfast to get everyone up and moving, but they can be flexible with your itinerary.
Reel Big Jig
The Reel Big Jig provides traditional Irish, Scottish and Cornish folk tunes with a caller who organises formation dances. A fun ice breaker for guests who may not know each other and travel from all over for the special day.
| 07800933187 | bevzski@gmail.com |
DJs
Get Lost and Found
Rob Wilson runs a number of different music events at Scorrier and plays festivals throughout the southwest. His style is contemporary but incorporates a lot of classics that everybody loves.

Little Eden Entertainment
Already listed above for their event equipment, Little Eden also provides DJ services and PA systems.
R2 Events
Stu at R2 Events is very local, meaning all the DJ equipment can be set up before your wedding day and taken down the day afterwards (unlike some DJs who want to set up right before the first dance).
| www.r2events.co.uk | 01209 211031 | info@r2events.co.uk |
Photographers
We recommend choosing a photographer or videographer who has been to Scorrier House before; they will know all the best spots in the house and garden and how the light changes throughout the day.

Wedding Planners
Scorrier House provide wedding coordination in the run-up to and on your wedding day. However, if you would like a wedding planner, i.e. somebody who suggests and books all of your suppliers, plans your itinerary and truly takes the stress out of 'wedmin', then we'd recommend you contact either Jenny or Hazel.
