Pengenna Manor, Cornwall
Pengenna Manor Wedding Guide – Music, Atmosphere and Style
The Setting and Location
Pengenna Manor is a relaxed, countryside wedding venue near Wadebridge in Cornwall, surrounded by rolling fields and big open skies. It’s a lovely mix of rustic charm and thoughtful modern touches, giving you that “away from it all” feel while still being beautifully set up for weddings. You can explore the venue and accommodation here: pengenna-manor.co.uk.
With on-site accommodation and exclusive use, it feels more like hosting your wedding at a private country house than hiring a venue for a few hours.
The Style and Overall Vibe
Weddings at Pengenna Manor tend to feel relaxed, personal and full of character. The ceremony spaces, courtyard and barns give you lots of flexibility, so the day can naturally move between indoors and outdoors depending on the season and your style.
There’s plenty of space for guests to spread out during drinks receptions, and the barn works brilliantly for a warm, atmospheric wedding breakfast followed by a big, joy-filled evening party.
What I Love About Working Here
I’m a preferred and recommended Wedding Host & DJ at Pengenna Manor, and it’s a venue where my hosting role really shines. Because it’s exclusive use and fairly flexible in how things are run, having someone gently guiding the flow makes a huge difference to how relaxed the day feels.
Richard and Natalie, who run Pengenna, are wonderful and attentive hosts. We work together really well behind the scenes, which helps everything run smoothly for couples. You’ll often see me at their open days too, which is a great chance to experience the space set for a wedding and chat about ideas for your own day.

Why It Helps to Have a DJ Who Knows This Venue
Venues like Pengenna Manor offer loads of flexibility, which is fantastic, but it also means the flow of the day relies more on good coordination. Moving guests between spaces, keeping key moments on track and building the right atmosphere at the right time all help the day feel effortless rather than rushed.
When I’m hosting and DJing here, I help join the dots between ceremony, drinks, meal and evening party. Clear, friendly announcements, well-paced transitions and reading the room as the energy builds all lead to a dance floor that feels like the natural next step, not a sudden switch.
