Elopements at Frieda and the Moon

If the idea of slipping away somewhere beautiful and a little bit magical sounds like your perfect wedding day, Frieda and the Moon might be just what you’re looking for. Hidden in a quiet Cornish valley close to the coast, our ceremony spaces and gardens are designed for small, meaningful celebrations where you can truly be yourselves.

“If you’re looking for a wedding venue filled with heart, beauty and soul, this is it.”— Chloe & Dan, October 2025

You can say your vows in our oak-framed Studio — all warm timber, soft light and stained-glass glow — or wander down the woodland path to the Hornbeam Circle for a candlelit, twilight ceremony under the trees. Afterwards, head back to your private hideaway, hop into the hot tub, or relax by the fire and watch the stars come out.

Our grounds and interiors offer countless places for photographs. Step outside and you’ll find leafy gardens, rolling countryside, woodland trails and big skies that seem to go on forever. Indoors, you’ll discover spaces full of warmth, character and a little sprinkle of magic.

From the moment we first visited Frieda & The Moon, we knew it was the one. After our original plans were cancelled at short-notice, Perla and Jo quite literally saved our wedding and we’ll be forever grateful that they did. The care, attention, and genuine love they put into every part of this magical place shines through in everything they do.

From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease. Every little detail was thought of, every moment flowed effortlessly, and they worked quietly in the background to make sure everything went perfectly. It’s those small touches, the ones you don’t even realise you need that made the day feel so special.

We stayed in The Observatory, which was nothing short of enchanting. Beautifully designed and full of charm, it felt like our own little haven. Lying beneath the skylight at night, watching the stars, was simply magical. The hot tub and chiminea made our stay even more romantic it was the perfect way to unwind and soak in the atmosphere after the celebrations.

Our ceremony in The Studio was beautiful, full of light, warmth, and character and the surrounding grounds were absolutely stunning. The views are breathtaking, and we loved being surrounded by nature (and the friendly sheep and chickens, who added such a lovely touch of charm and joy to the day!).

We also had a handfasting ceremony in the woods, which was beyond words. It felt deeply spiritual, peaceful, and profoundly special -  exactly what we’d hoped for and more.

The food was incredible too. You could tell how much love and effort went into everything. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with such thoughtful touches that made it truly memorable.

Perla and Jo are truly exceptional hosts - kind, creative, and so passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to make sure your day is everything you dream of and more. We only wish we had found them sooner!

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s filled with love, beauty, and soul, a place that feels like pure magic - Frieda & The Moon is the one.

Where do we even begin…we cannot thank Perla & Jo enough! Frieda and the Moon really is a special place! Such a unique wedding venue, intimate and set in the most beautiful surroundings. If you want a small, intimate wedding, with bit of added quirkiness, then this is the place, from the on site accommodation, which we would highly recommend, to The Studio, nothing was ever too much trouble for Perla & Jo. The Tabernacle and Observatory have everything you need for a few nights…so cosy and comfortable with the added bonus of the hot tubs! Our little Pug certainly enjoyed herself! The bell tent that was set up for extended family was perfect too, along with great facilities that the kids loved. The wedding day was perfect…The Studio is beautiful, food delicious and Perla & Jo just let you get on to enjoy your day, but are always on hand if you need anything. This just helps you and your guests feel more relaxed. The fire pit is a nice added addition to relax after the sun goes down, with some toasted marshmallows. The flowers supplied by Babs were beautiful too! We honestly have the best memories to last a lifetime, and the family are still talking about it now! It was really hard to leave, as the place is truly wonderful, I think the family who stayed on site with us would have stayed for longer if they could! We can’t wait to return! Jamie, Joey & Pooh the Pug.

Thank you, Thank you to the fabulous Frieda and The Moon. Our day was magical, quirky, emotional and everything that was just …well..us!
The tabernacle listening to music the night before looking at the stars, the freedom to put together the unexpected surprises for our guests and the quiet but total support from Perla and Jo was amazing. Two ceremonies, two alpacas, a magical hornbean and a firepit where everyone relaxed into the night. It was just perfect.

We had our wedding at Freida & The Moon and it was nothing short of magical. The grounds are breath-taking and the accommodation is truly one-of-a-kind. My husband and I stayed in the Tabernacle the night before our big day and it felt like something out of a fairy-tale—peaceful, romantic, and beautifully styled.

We wanted a smaller wedding and Freida & The Moon was the perfect place for our special day 💒

Jo, Perla & Babs were incredibly attentive throughout our stay. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of and their warmth made us feel so welcome.

Perla was a total star—so organised and helpful. She recommended amazing local suppliers for our food, hair & makeup, and wedding cake, which made planning so much easier and stress-free.

Jo was fantastic and was able to get me to the wedding in one piece after the heavens opened and it poured down with rain. I arrived at the wedding from the Tabernacle in good shape and full of laughs.

Babs put together the most beautiful bridal bouquet as part of the wedding package and she was so wonderful throughout the wedding planning process and on the big day 💐

We couldn’t have asked for a more magical place or more wonderful people to help bring our wedding to life. Freida & The Moon will forever hold a special place in our hearts and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for the perfect small wedding venue 🤍🌿

WOW! 🤩  This venue is absolutely STUNNING. 😍  Perla and Jo were like family, they couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure everything was perfect before and on our special day! Their communication was spot on and they really did go that extra mile. All our guests called this place a “Hidden Gem” and rated our wedding 10/10! Hornbeam Circle was incredible! It was romantic and unique and finished our wedding day off beautifully. So special. The accommodation was quirky and fun. The bed and pillows were so comfy we slept like a baby! Would 100% without a doubt recommend this place! It ticked all our boxes and exceeded our expectations! The photos on the website are gorgeous but don’t do it justice…being there is 100 times better. It went so quick and was so good, we want to do it all over again! 😂  but as we can’t get married again 😂 we are already planning on returning to stay in the Tabernacle. Thank you so much Perla and Jo, we will be forever grateful for making our day so special. Love Kelly & Mark xx

We had a completely fabulous wedding at Frieda & the Moon this month, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful small wedding.

It is such a wonderful venue, but it’s about more than just the place! Perla and Jo are so helpful and supportive with pre-arrangements and making sure everything runs smoothly on the day, nothing was too much trouble for us or our guests. It all makes for a perfect, relaxing environment and certainly made our ideal day.

We spent a great couple of days there and everything was lovely;  beautiful views, quirky accommodation, relaxing hot tub, and some extra little touches that truly make it feel special (like the welcome treats, champagne breakfast., high tea, and the late-night fire pit, not to mention the magical, candlelit ‘horn beam circle’).

Frieda & the Moon is a truly special place.

Our wedding at Frieda and the Moon was magical from beginning to end. Perla and Jo are so lovely and ensured the day ran smoothly, with every element tailored to us. We and our guests had an incredible time. From staying in the beautiful Tabernacle and the stunning bouquet from Babs to our delicious grazing table and playing games in the gorgeous grounds, it was perfect! Thank you so much for helping us celebrate in the best way!

Had the best weekend away, perfect setting in the observatory, some really nice touches inside making us feel very welcome, pristine and everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway. Hot tub under the stars was a bonus.

We have just come back from an fantastic stay with Frieda and the Moon. Our wedding day was perfect and Perla and Jo have been incredible. Nothing was ever too much. They welcomed us warmly and went above and beyond to create an unforgettable wedding weekend. They helped me with hair and makeup and answering all of our questions about the day. I can't recommend them enough.

Our day started with our champagne breakfast hand delivered by Jo before a relaxed morning getting ready. Perla went above and beyond helping me get into my dress and taking pictures for me to send on to those not attending.

Babs and paul arrived to take photos of the day and deliver our flowers for the wedding which perfectly matched our theme. Our ceremony was perfect and Perla and Jo were kind enough to be out witnesses before more champagne and photos on the the deck. As my husband doesn't drink they arranged for alternative drinks for him.

After a good few competitive rounds of ping pong Jo delivered our bbq crate for us to relax for the evening. The food was absolutely amazing and was the perfect way to end the day.

Perla and Jo have been professional and friendly throughout. We felt relaxed and at home the whole time. The accommodation was clean with all the utilities you would need for your stay and they tailored the weekend to suit us perfectly. 5* and can't wait to come back to celebrate our anniversaries.
