St Ives Chapel Weddings

Perched above the golden sands of Porthmeor Beach, Barnoon Chapel offers panoramic views stretching toward The Island and the iconic St Nicholas Chapel, making it one of the most enchanting locations in St Ives to say “I do.”

This intimate chapel comfortably accommodates up to 40 guests, creating the ideal atmosphere for smaller, more personal ceremonies where every detail matters.

With sweeping views across the Celtic Sea and a peaceful setting that feels a world away, Barnoon Chapel brings a rare blend of beauty and stillness to your celebration.

Originally built in 1857, the chapel greets you with its historic stone archway and continues to impress inside with traditional wooden pews, a charming altar, and elegant original features that radiate warmth and authenticity. And yes — you can ring the chapel bell to share your joy with the whole town!

After your ceremony, continue the celebrations just steps away in the Porthmeor Suite, located on the opposite side of the chapel. This light and versatile space offers a relaxed yet refined setting for a drinks reception, complete with neutral décor ready to reflect your own style and theme.

Whether you’re planning a coastal-chic gathering or a more classic affair, the Porthmeor Suite is the ideal spot to raise a glass, share a bite, and soak up the joyful atmosphere with your loved ones.

Surrounded by dramatic sea views and vibrant Cornish scenery, Barnoon Chapel offers a picture-perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs — and memories that will last a lifetime.

Steeped in history and full of character, the chapel is just a short stroll from St Ives harbour and neighbours the famous Tate St Ives. Nearby, you’ll find St Ia’s Well (Venton Ia) at the edge of Barnoon Cemetery — a sacred spring named after the 5th-century Irish saint believed to have arrived in St Ives on a giant leaf. The well served as the town’s main water source until the mid-1800s and adds an extra touch of local legend to this magical place.

If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Cornwall that combines coastal elegance, rich history, and unforgettable views, Barnoon Chapel is the perfect place to begin your journey together.
