Bespoke Small Weddings

You… have been looking for the ideal location for your perfect tiny wedding. There is a “must-have” list, but you also have dreams and ideas that are so special to you, you’re not sure if they are possible. Between us, with the magic of Frieda and the Moon, we just might make them happen…

We… have a beautiful Cornish smallholding with rolling views towards the coast; a magical venue specifically designed for small weddings: quirky accommodation; an enchanting ceremony venue; and years of experience designing bespoke weddings for romantic individualists…

Together… we can craft your “exquisite tiny wedding” down to the tiniest detail, an event tailored to perfection, to be as individual as you are. Our speciality is to wrap you up in the glow of this unique haven, so that you can focus fully on the special meaning of your relationship on your day-of-all-days.

Every wedding at Frieda and the Moon — whether “just two” or with a few guests — is quite simply, one-of-a-kind.

We know that the magic comes from curating an exceptional experience that reflects and celebrates your personal story. Frieda and the Moon is a small scale operation, so there are just a small team looking after your planning and the wedding itself — “small is beautiful!”

At Frieda and the Moon we specialize in bespoke small weddings, special anniversaries and mini-moons, and handfasting ceremonies, with accommodation in our glorious Cornish Tin Tabernacle or spectacular Observatory. Our guests often remark that we have exceeded their expectations in creating a “perfect little place” – secluded, quirky, romantic, and luxurious.

Our licenced wedding venues are The Studio, a beautiful timber framed sanctuary with Italianate ceiling, oak floors, wood burning stove, and the most gorgeous stained glass feature — The Ocean Window; and The Hornbeam Circle, a magical candlelit grove in the nearby woods — for an unforgettable tryst at twilight — your special vows to each other in nature.

Your legal wedding can be in either The Studio or Hornbeam Circle*.

Many of our couples also book The Hornbeam Circle as an extra (additional to your legal wedding earlier in the day), for personal vows or an alternative wedding such as handfasting, with our celebrant (see below).

* For legal Hornbeam Circle weddings, you also have full use of The Studio for the day for catering and for the ceremony in wet or windy weather. Most couples want the full effect with the fairy lights and candles, which only works after dusk, so please bear in mind that if the ceremony is after 8.30pm – there is an additional fee of £82.50ph for the legal registrar.

“we have had the most magical three days of our lives here. From start to finish, we couldn’t have wished for a more special place to get married. We will cherish this for the rest of our lives. Thank you for your warmth, friendliness and support. All our love. Alex and Tom. ”

“…I don’t know how to do justice to describing our perfect wonderful wedding and mini-moon at Frieda and the Moon. They put together everything we wanted, down to the smallest detail, it really was, as they say on the website, an exquisite tiny wedding. No fuss, nothing too much trouble. They helped us with all the advice and information we needed, right from our first phone call, which made it all seem so effortless. The whole experience, from the lovely Tabernacle through to the ceremony and the fabulous food, characterized by the unique, quirky, bespoke, hand made. We have already booked to return for our first anniversary…”   Juliet & Sam
