Our Story
Fifth Generation Farming
Learn about the history of Pengelly Farm and our journey in creating a purpose-built wedding and events venue. Bottom left of the page, we’ve created a video to introduce the team behind Pengelly and how we have crafted a unique wedding venue with our couples in mind.
The Farm
Pengelly Farm has been in the family for hundreds of years, predominantly as a Dairy Farm until moving into holiday cottages in 2011. We still have a small beef herd and crop, so you will often see Paul & Sue on the farm in-between weddings.
The Family
Wenna & Pippa are two of 4 girls, and with a combined background in hospitality and corporate management, pursued the idea of creating a wedding venue to utilise the expansive views of the farm and keep the farming business in the family for another generation.
The Build
After a lot of research and several years of pre-planning processes, we submitted our planning application for a brand-new purpose-built wedding venue in 2019. We were successful in our application in 2020 and then applied for EU grant funding.
We were given the green light in early 2021 and in just 10 months we went from a muddy field to brand new wedding venue, opening the doors to the public in May 2022.

Since opening, we’ve grown faster than we ever expected—hosting more and more glorious couples each year.. Our team has expanded, we’ve welcomed so many wonderful couples, and we continue to evolve, adding more accommodation and our brand-new Glam Room. We were thrilled to win Gold for New Business and Bronze for Wedding Venue at the Cornwall Tourism Awards, and in 2024, we earned a Highly Commended award along with finalist spots in the South West Wedding Awards and The Wedding Industry Awards. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
