'Amazing day!'
03/11/2018
We recently had our wedding reception at Knightor, it was the most amazing day! Throughout the whole planning process the staff were all so helpful. Jess made sure our day ran smoothly. The food is so delicious, all of our guests said how much they enjoyed it. We were able to set up the day before and stay the night of and before the wedding in the 6 bedroom house with our closest family/friends. We can’t recommend Knightor enough and wish we could do then whole day again, we will be back for their feast nights!

'A perfect day to become a proper little family'
25/05/2018
We came across Knightor when we first started planning our wedding. We went and viewed, and that was it - it was perfect! It ticked every box we had, including disabled assess for family members. It was also small enough for our family wedding - but not too small where you feel cramped! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, I really love rustic barns, the wooden beams and stone walls just really let out the character. The arbour outside over looking the lake is absolutely beautiful. I was in awe at the whole place, even in the most torrential rain it still looks beautiful! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, our wedding coordinator Jess (and Cathryn when we first booked our wedding) were amazing all through the planning stages and Jess was fantastic on the day; even though I was quite anxious she managed to put my mind at ease. The food was absolutely fantastic, everyone complimented how good it was! The bar staff were brilliant, even dealing with my extremely drunk brother in law by the end of the evening. Tom was amazing and kept checking in with us all evening to make sure we had everything we needed which was lovely. They even started cleaning up near the end of the evening for our decorations upstairs which really helped us for the next morning. Our wedding night in the Manor House was beautiful, we had the whole house to ourselves which was unexpected but so lovely. We enjoyed a cooked breakfast with all the trimmings the following morning which was incredible. All the staff went above and beyond to make our day the best and they really did, we cannot thank them enough for everything.

'The perfect venue'
06/08/2018
Knightor offered everything we dreamed of and more for our big day- the perfect combination of beautiful setting and blank slate. In the build up, we were amazed by how many options we had, from decor to food, and how accommodating Knightor were with our ideas and wishes. We chose them initially because they offered something crucial to us- an outdoor ceremony with an indoor backup if the Cornish weather let us down! The ability to use the house was also a big advantage as our families are not local. Everything else was the icing on the cake- the team were so wonderfully helpful and the grounds perfect for photos. The day itself truly was the best of my life- amazing food, wonderful wine and a happy, relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend Knightor as a wedding venue.

'Knightor was brilliant and listened to every request'
07/06/2018
I met Kevin as a single mother at the age of 24, and he became my best friend and the love of mine and my son's life. At 26 we had our own son and through small steps built our life. When we decided to get married we chose Knightor winery not only for price but because it's rustic, down to earth but special feel just felt perfect the moment we set foot in the doors. Through the help of our families we managed to pull off a modest, special, rustic and beautiful day. We have so many highlights of our special day, including our first dance ( to kiss me by sixpence none the richer) my father in law singing angels by Robbie Williams, my children not recognising me in my dress until I spoke, my bridesmaids crying and drying their eyes on the table cloth during speeches and my dad's face when he first saw me as a bride. However the biggest highlight was my eldest son, 7 at the time, who did an unprompted, unscripted speech expressing his love for his new step dad, his only father figure, his best friend, which had even the strongest northern men ( my husband is a northener lol) into tears. It was the best day of our lives, and we couldn't of had it without the financial help of our families. Knightor was brilliant and listened to every request, they still now recognise us and felt more like guests than staff on our wedding day.

We came about Knightor Winery after needing to bring our wedding forward due to my now husbands ill health and Knightor managed to get us all set up and sorted in under a month!!! They were unbelievable with what they could offer, the venue is amazing and they managed to make our day the best day ever. And they even did most of the set up and organising to keep the stress levels minimal for us. Just amazing, forever grateful for them and the memories they allowed to be ☺️

Firstly thank you so so much, to Cathryn and Anna for being truly amazing, from the planning, to the day itself.
The day itself, literally could not have gone any better! Everything ran so smoothly, it was just how we planned it to be.
Our guests were so impressed with the venue, food and drink. We received so many compliments, and as many guests were from Kent they hadn't had a Cornish pasty or cream tea until then. Please also pass on enormous thanks to your staff as well. We literally didn't have to worry about a thing on the day.
The Manor House was also so lovely and perfect. It met all our needs and was perfect for getting ready, my Nan and also for my sister's newest arrival, Arlo.
The breakfast on the Sunday, topped off the whole weekend. It was so scrummy and the selection of food was fab. The potatoes were a big hit!
We will certainly be back! We are hoping to come down to Cornwall next summer, hopefully we can pop in for a bite to eat and I also would love to buy some of your cider :) It was the most perfect day in the most perfect venue and we can't thank you enough. Our daughter keeps asking if we can come back and have the wedding again!
Best wishes,
Mr and Mrs Juden x

The weather was amazing and the place looks gorgeous in the sun. Honestly couldn't have picked a more perfect venue it looked amazing upstairs all set out. Everyone said they loved the food.
I'm so so glad we were lucky enough to have Knightor as our venue it was perfect and all of our guests were saying how lovely it was there and I've had many ask about weddings for people they know etc having seen some pics. Of course I've highly recommended it!! I wish we could do it all again it was amazing! Thank you so much for everything you did for us you were great and I often told people how lovely our wedding coordinator, Cathryn was and I wasn't stressed at all because I know you had it all sorted. We would love to come back some time for dinner or a cream tea so we will definitely do that and maybe come back for our anniversary next year too!
Thanks again!!

'SUPERB WEDDING'
18/2/17
We had our wedding at Knightor on Saturday 18th February 2017 and had an amazing day. I want to write a detailed review to give prospective couples a good insight as to what this place is about.
Pre Wedding - the venue speaks for itself, a beautiful barn setting which isn't the answer if you like the glitz of a modern hotel. The rural setting was all we wanted but still had to be 'wow'ed by the overall package. We met Cathryn as one of the wedding planners and immediately noted her enthusiasm for her job and the want to make our day as special as it could be. Meetings were fairly regular through the planning process and email communication was also answered swiftly. Every time, nothing was too much trouble.
Decorating Venue - lucky for us and getting married out of season we were able to take our time and decorate the venue through the Friday and made it look beautiful, exactly what the bride envisaged! Cathryn and her team were on hand to lend their experience and their step ladder!! It really is a blank canvas and the Knightor team seemed happy and open to most ideas on how to dress it up. I am not sure how stressful it would have been if there had been a function on the Friday and we were only able to get into the venue on the Saturday morning to decorate.
Ceremony - the bridal team arrived early to get ready in the house at Knightor (separate review later) and the Best Man and I arrived slightly later and prepared using the downstairs of the property. We still kept to tradition and didn't see each other so it worked perfectly for us and there wasn't a need for transport to the venue (extra cost). Again, Cathryn and her team were on site early and had everything in hand with the venue undergoing a good clean. Cathryn managed proceedings to keep everything on time for the 13.00 hours ceremony and at one point even had to get stern with some stubborn family members to keep things ticking along (a management quality that can be difficult to possess). The ceremony was stunning (I am biased) but every guest noted how personal it was which is exactly what we wanted.
Wedding breakfast - all food was pre-ordered after giving our guests 2 options for each course so food was served without having to ask who ordered what. The food was cooked well and I believe everybody enjoyed it. I had the cod dish for main and the chef cooked the fish beautifully. The liver parfait and custard brûlée must also get a mention as beautiful dishes.
Wine - being a winery you would imagine that this would be a strong point for them..........it was. We chose a white and a red for the tables and the guests were more than delighted with their servings!! The white - carpe diem a crisp, dry, fruity number at a really good price. The red - a Malbec was a great glass of red and believe me I have sampled many Malbec's!!
Evening Reception - approx 120 guests. The 2 floors makes Knightor a great choice with the music and bar on the lower floor and a quieter, seating area upstairs the perfect place to catch up with family/friends without having to shout. Finishing the festivities at 01.00 hours seemed to be the perfect time and the staff even at this time were friendly.
Accommodation - we hired the house for 1 night which has 4 double rooms and 2 twin rooms. It is on a b&b basis. A perfectly comfortable house and being able to be in bed in 2 minutes after leaving the venue is a no brainer! Breakfast at 10.00 so plenty of time for a bit of a lie in, and to get rid of the thick head. Booking the house comes with breakfast for 12 but Knightor will happily cater for more with prior booking and at a very reasonable price. A small continental section with tea, coffee and juices to start followed by a full English that hit the spot after a night of festivities.
Conclusion - Knightor as a venue was perfect for us, the rural barn setting just sits with what we love. However, we wouldn't of hesitated going elsewhere if we felt they couldn't deliver the full package but they gave us confidence that this wouldn't be the case and boy did they deliver. We would like to offer our thanks again to Cathryn and every member of staff that had any input into making our day so amazing with a special mention also to Dee. I guess the biggest thanks must go to whoever sorted the weather for us, stunning sunshine with double figured temperatures in the middle of February, amazing!!

We would like to offer our thanks again to Cathryn and every member of staff that had any input into making our day so amazing with a special mention also to Dee. I guess the biggest thanks must go to whoever sorted the weather for us, stunning sunshine with double figured temperatures in the middle of February, amazing!!

‘A huge thank you’
5/11/16
Before we jet off to the Canaries tomorrow, Quint and I would like to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff at Knightor for making our wedding day so enjoyable and special. We cannot believe how smoothly it ran, which made a huge difference to our stress levels.
We had such an amazing day from start to finish and that is due to good organisation and knowing what the bride and groom really want!

‘We really didn't need to worry about anything on the day’
16/7/16
Thank you SO MUCH for making our wedding such a success! We had the most perfect day - not sure how we wangled that weather but we must have done something right :)
You were fantastic at making sure everything went smoothly and we really didn't need to worry about anything on the day. And the room looked beautiful when you and the team had set it up for the meal. Lots of our guests said how brilliant the Knightor staff were, the team was so attentive and really lovely and friendly too. Please say thank you to them all for us because they did an amazing job and nothing was too much trouble.
Also, the food was outstanding! So a huge thank you to the chef, too - again, everyone was raving about the food and also the great portion sizes ;-) (so we'll definitely be back to sample more of his work!!)
Thank you again!

‘The food was delicious and plenty of it!’
23/7/16
We had our wedding at Knightor on the 23rd July and could not fault a single thing. Cathryn was amazing throughout the months leading to the wedding as well as on the day, the day ran smoothly and was perfectly organised. We luckily got a nice day meaning we could get married outside and it was beautiful. The food was delicious and plenty of it! Many of our guests commented on how good the food was. All the staff were fantastic and worked really hard! We would like to say a big thank you to everyone especially Cathryn who was unintrusive on the day and stayed in the background to ensure everything went perfectly. I will definitely be returning for food and recommending this venue to everyone.

‘We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Knightor’
8/4/16
I want to say a very BIG thank you for the wonderful time we had at Knightor on Friday.
Everything was absolutely perfect, from having access to decorate the venue on the Thursday, right through to the clearing up on Saturday morning, all went seamlessly. On Friday we couldn’t have asked for more. You made the day go so smoothly and without really appearing to be there! The food was wonderful and many compliments have been paid on the meal as well as the fantastic venue. The canapes were delicious, the 3 courses beautifully presented and the buffet looked amazing. You have it all down to a fine art and we would definitely recommend Knightor as a great venue for a wedding.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Knightor and would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all involved in making Sam and Jamie’s wedding day a very special one.
With kind regards
Elaine and Paul

‘Our dream of getting married outside in the wonderful arbour by the pond came true’
7/7/15
Our Wedding Day at Knightor Winery was everything we had dreamed it would be. From the moment we walked into Knightor we felt we had found the venue that would suit us, with its wonderful stone walls and gorgeous beams and the use of the whole venue just for us on our wedding day.
The wedding co-ordinator, Cathryn Cole, made us feel at ease from the start. Her friendly and approachable manner throughout the wedding planning and also on the day gave us full confidence that our day would be exceptional.
The family friendly venue was perfect for our large family. The children were well catered for with plenty of safe space to roam, equipment to play on and lots of space so we were able to have a children's entertainer. The adults had plenty of space and there is also a lift and disabled toilet, perfect for older generations.
The venues flexibility with choices for menus and option to get married inside or out gave us the space to tailor our day to reflect ourselves.
We were lucky that the weather was good and our dream of getting married outside in the wonderful arbour by the pond came true. It was wonderful to see all our guests sat on hay bales and family and friends loved the laid back feeling of the day.
We also loved that the whole venue was ours for the day and we had the freedom to decorate the venue as we choose to reflect our themes. We had a super fun time collecting and choosing the decorations with close friends and family and a great time decorating the venue with them the day before the wedding. Cathryn and her team put the tables together with flair, interpreting our ideas perfectly, nothing was too much trouble.
After the marriage, instead of canapes we choose to serve a cream tea with champagne which was delicious.
The chef was fantastic, we had chosen our families favourite dish Paella, and the chef was able to create a meat, fish and vegetarian Paella and also an extra special traditional one with snails (which created quite a talking point on the day!). The Paellas were served with wonderful and colourful salads and rustic breads, all delicious.
When we look back and talk about our day we would not change anything, Carl and I and our children loved every minute and our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed it too.
Knightor Winery, Cathryn Cole, the Chef and the lovely team helped to ensure our day was fabulous and all our memories of our wedding day are wonderful.
Thanks again to you all,
Mr and Mrs Miles, Isaac and Isla xx

‘The venue was perfect for adding our own personal touch’
25/7/15
As soon as we visited Knightor we knew that it was where we wanted to hold our wedding.
From the moment we made our initial enquiry, right up until the end of our wedding reception, Cathryn, Georgina and the whole team were fantastic at helping to plan and orchestrate the most amazing day. Nothing was too much trouble, from putting together a bespoke vegetarian menu for us, to being on hand throughout the whole day - everyone was so friendly and helpful.
The venue was perfect for adding our own personal touch with our decorations, and all of our guests have said what a beautiful venue it is.
Thank you all so much for making it the best day, and one we will never forget!
Take care,
Hollie x
