Looking for an exclusive-use wedding venue in Cornwall? At Boconnion you get 150 acres of private estate entirely to yourself
When owner Rob took on the Boconnion estate, he had a vision. He wanted to make it a place where memories were made and shared by many. The best way to do this? For our wedding couples to have the entire Boconnion estate to themselves on an exclusive-use basis for at least three nights. That way, they can truly settle in, enjoy the luxury and call Boconnion home for a short while. As an exclusive-use wedding venue in Cornwall, this means our couples have the space to take in their celebrations without checking out in time for the next wedding party to arrive. They can take it slow, stay in the bubble and not be disturbed. In this blog, we talk about how an exclusive-use wedding venue works and other ways our guests can enjoy the expanse of Boconnion all to themselves outside of getting married, from parties to retreats.

What is an exclusive-use wedding venue?
An exclusive‑use wedding venue is a location that you and your guests have entirely to yourselves, with no other events or visitors on the site — and at Boconnion, a private country estate in North Cornwall, that exclusivity is central to the experience. Choosing an exclusive‑use venue like Boconnion means the whole estate becomes your own: the manor house, three luxury accommodation properties, the barn and sweeping grounds are reserved solely for your celebration, giving you complete privacy and the freedom to shape your wedding exactly as you wish. There’s no sharing spaces, no tight turnaround times and no unexpected onlookers — just a relaxed, uninterrupted setting where your ceremony, reception and accommodation flow together seamlessly. For couples planning a Cornwall wedding, exclusive use of Boconnion offers the chance to create a multi‑day celebration that feels intimate, personal and entirely yours from the moment you arrive.
Benefits of an exclusive-use wedding venue:
Complete privacy — no other weddings, events or guests on site
Full access to the estate — manor house, accommodation, grounds and barn
Freedom with timings — you’re not working around another couple’s schedules
A more relaxed atmosphere — your guests can settle in and enjoy the space without interruption
Less pressure - you can take your time across three nights
Your friends and family can stay on site with you - no logistics of multiple bookings and managing the movement of your wedding party
