Wedding suppliers in North Cornwall
A Cornish wedding draws on suppliers from across the county, and many travel. What matters most is that they know the north coast: the lanes, the light, the wind and the summer traffic. These guides explain what each kind of supplier does, what is particular about working around Rock and Padstow, and what to ask before you book.

Booking suppliers: the basics
- Get everything in writing. That means date, times, what is included, the deposit, payment dates and the cancellation terms.
- Check insurance. Venues and landowners often ask suppliers for public liability cover.
- Ask about travel. Many suppliers come from elsewhere in Cornwall or Devon. Mileage and overnight costs can add up.
- Introduce them to each other. Caterers, the marquee company, the bar and the band all need to know about power, access and timings.
- Book the hard-to-find ones first. Photographers, marquees and caterers for summer Saturdays go earliest.
