What our Brides and Grooms Say

We booked Above The Bay 1 month before our big day due to a venue change, and I must say, they absolutely smashed it.

The process of getting everything sorted was stress free, professional and accommodating!

The staff and events team are incredible, not only are they excellent at what they do, they have fun doing it. Nothing is too much and they always went above and beyond.

Sophie made the whole process headache free and clear when planning our reception.

I’ll break it down some more below:

The Venue: Modern, spacious, light and amazingly situated (the views are the best around)
The food: They came up with a fantastic, delicious menu and it was a hit with all our family and friends, high praises all round!
Parking: Plentiful, with an overflow if needed AND brilliantly placed disabled spaces.Staff: We know hospitality can be hectic and stressful, but all of them were fantastic and happy to be there, they really have a great team dynamic and they’re super attentive.
Facilities: Clean, fresh and modern toilets and well appointed accessible WCs.

If you’re planning a wedding in Falmouth, don’t look anywhere else, pop up for a drink and take the venue in, you will want to have your special day here.

Thank you for making our wedding day what it was!

“We had THE BEST day! The weather was perfect and you and your staff were great all day! People have been full of praise for the bar staff as it was a busy wedding! We were worried there wouldn't be enough food but there was more than enough and it was all great! Again, we have received much praise to pass on with this regard.

Working with you has been brilliant. As you know, we had a very confusing and worrying time with the previous wedding coordinators and with all of the changes happening at above the bay. However, you put us both at ease in our first meeting! You are efficient and friendly and we couldn't ask any more.

We will recommend this venue to anybody (and already have!). We wish we could relive the whole day again!

Thank you to you and the whole team.”

“Firstly we would both like to say a BIG THANK YOU to yourself and the team for Sunday.
Our special day was absolutely perfect and enjoyed by all. Everything that we had planned and that was required, was expertly delivered by yourselves.

The photos that we have seen already are fantastic and so many of our guests have been taking about the fantastic venue.”

"Thank you so much. We had an absolutely amazing day, everything we’d hoped for and more. The food was incredible (everyone has said so also)! The portions were perfect and the buffet topped it off. Every staff member was a delight and just made it a breeze for us, thank you for all your help also, made it a smooth day and very chilled for us which is exactly what we wanted.

We have had nothing but positive comments about the venue and would recommend to anyone!”

"We loved our day at Above the Bay and received so much praise from our guests. We were lucky it was a lovely dry day and the views were just spectacular. Our guests also praised the facilities, parking, setting and the food, which was excellent. It was so easy having the whole event under one roof, and we were able to use the different spaces. We enjoyed taking golf carts out onto the green and the indoor spaces were also ideal for our needs.
The food was delicious and service was efficient, there were so many clean plates, even from the fussiest of guests! The staff were very friendly, welcoming and engaged with the whole event.
‍
We had a rocky start with the venue as it was in the process of changing hands. However, once this settled down and the two Sophies were in post everything got much easier, and communications were efficient and swift.
On the day, Sophie W couldn't have been more flexible and responsive, really ensuring our day ran as smoothly as possible but also being relaxed and enabling us to enjoy our day. We'd just love to do it all over again!"

"Above The Bay is incredible, the food was beyond sensational and our guests were so impressed with it. There was something for everyone’s taste (we had the hot buffet), all was labelled and we had a few dietary requirements which were handled perfectly. Both Sophie’s were great on the day as well as leading up to it, they communicated well and went above and beyond with suggestions, support and ideas. They weren’t pushy in any way and we created the wedding we wanted. Thank you again so much! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!”
