I love Cornwall.
My roots are firmly Cornish - with a name like Pengelly!

Welocme and enjoy the experience.

Also, remember this is "Marketing"

The percentages are very approximate and are based on observations at the hundreds of wedding receptions I have attended.

If you want to engage a bride and get her to focus on entertainment ask her to describe how she envisions her wedding reception in just Three Words?
