Getting legally married outdoors in the UK used to come with a lot of restrictive fine print, often requiring a permanent structure like a gazebo overhead. However, following recent updates to venue licensing laws in England, Cornwall Council’s approval means we can now legally marry you right out in the open air, surrounded purely by nature. That means no artificial setups or compromises: you can make your vows official under the open sky, framed by our trees, fields, and water, with all the legal paperwork completed right where you stand.

There is something truly magical about bringing people together in nature. Whether it’s the sounds of the sea in the background, the quiet hum of the Cornish landscape, or simply the feeling of having open space to breathe and connect with the people you love most, a venue surrounded by nature creates a feeling like nowhere else.

That’s why we are beyond thrilled to share a very special milestone with you: Wilder is officially licensed by Cornwall Council to hold legal outdoor wedding ceremonies!

After much excitement behind the scenes, we can now offer couples the chance to say "I do" in four unique outdoor locations across our site, giving you complete freedom to create a celebration that feels entirely, authentically yours.

Freedom, Connection, and Room for Adventure

At Wilder, we believe your wedding shouldn't feel like a rush against the clock or a rigid series of traditional steps. It should be an immersive experience, a weekend or a day where time slows down, allowing you to focus on genuine connection with your partner, family, and closest friends.

Whether you imagine an intimate gathering nestled in lush greenery or a relaxed celebration with your loved ones, our four licensed outdoor ceremony spots offer distinct backdrops for your legal vows.

And the experience doesn’t end when the ceremony finishes.

Because Wilder is built around nature, adventure, and slow living, you and your guests can truly make a weekend of it. From quiet morning walks on the beach before getting ready, to catching up with loved ones around the fire or hiring kayaks for a relaxed post-wedding group outing, Wilder is a space where unforgettable memories are made both on and off the aisle.
